Samsung Induction Hob - Black

You need induction-compatible cookware, which means it must have a magnetic base. Materials like cast iron, magnetic stainless steel, and some enameled steel work well. You can test your pots and pans by placing a magnet on the bottom; if it sticks, it's compatible.

No, this induction hob requires a professional hard-wired electrical installation. It's essential to have a qualified electrician handle the setup to ensure safety and proper functionality.

Flex Zone Plus allows you to combine two individual cooking zones into one large, flexible area. This is ideal for using larger, irregularly shaped pots, griddle pans, or multiple small dishes simultaneously, providing more versatility than standard zones.

SmartThings Cooking is an integrated feature accessible via the Samsung SmartThings app. It provides personalized recipes, meal planning assistance, and guided cooking instructions directly to your device, helping you manage and enhance your cooking experience.

Allow the hob to cool completely before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution. For tougher spills, a ceramic hob scraper can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to protect the glass surface.

Yes, it is normal for induction hobs to produce a slight buzzing or humming sound during operation. This is often due to the vibrations of the cookware itself or the internal cooling fan. These sounds are typically quiet and indicate normal function.

The product dimensions are 48 x 590 x 520 mm (Height x Width x Depth). This 'Slim Fit' design can offer more space underneath your countertop.

First, ensure your cookware is induction-compatible by checking if a magnet sticks to its base. If the cookware is correct, check that the pan is centered on the cooking zone. If an error code persists, refer to the user manual for specific code meanings or contact Samsung support.

Ensure your home Wi-Fi network is active and strong in the kitchen area. Restart your router and then attempt to reconnect the hob through the SmartThings app's setup process. Verify that the app is updated to the latest version and your smartphone's operating system is compatible.

These sounds are normal for induction hobs, caused by vibrations in the cookware's base or the hob's cooling fan. Lighter, multi-layered cookware may produce more noise. If the noise is unusually loud or disruptive, ensure the hob is level and securely installed, then consult the user manual if concerns persist.

When using Flex Zone Plus with larger cookware (e.g., griddle), ensure the cookware covers the entire Flex Zone area adequately for even heat distribution. Make sure the cookware base is flat and making good contact with the hob surface. Adjust heat settings as needed for specific dishes.

Ensure your fingers are clean and dry, as moisture or grease can interfere with touch sensitivity. Check if the control panel is locked (look for a lock icon). If locked, press and hold the lock button to deactivate it. If the issue continues, power cycle the hob at the circuit breaker for a few minutes.
