How to use your Samsung electric cooktop

We'll cover the basics of using your cooktop in the following sections, but for more information on other features, or if your cooktop is part of a range and you want to know how to do other things on the range, like set the clock, you can find the full user manual for your product in our Download Center.

Your electric range or cooktop has a unique cooking area. Refer to the tips below when using it:

Caution: (1) The surface elements may be hot even when off and burns can occur. Do not touch the surface elements until they have cooled down sufficiently. (2) At high or medium settings, never leave food unattended. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers may catch on fire. (3) Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.

Did you miscalculate the cooking time and finish cooking one thing before everything else? No worries, just use the warming center; it will keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature while you finish preparing dinner.

Note: Not all models have a warming center.
