-
How do induction ranges work?Samsung induction ranges work fast thanks to a metal coil under the cooktop that generates a magnetic field. This field interacts with ferromagnetic materials in the cookware, creating an excited current in the cookware, thereby releasing energy as heat.
-
What are the benefits of an induction range?Since very little energy is lost transferring heat to the cookware, Samsung induction ranges can deliver faster heating times, precise temperature control and easier cleanup.
-
What is the difference between an induction range vs electric range?
Electric ranges use metal coils that sit below the cooktop to create radiant heat. The heat directly warms the surface in the cooking zone, heating cookware placed on top of the burner.
Induction cooktops are electric as well, but they use copper coils to create a magnetic field, which directly transfers heat to the cookware itself with very little energy loss.
-
Is an induction range better than gas?Gas ranges are still a popular choice among consumers. But Samsung induction ranges can transfer heat directly to cookware, making them more efficient than gas ranges. They excel at faster cook times.
-
How do you clean an induction range?Clean your ceramic glass cooktop shortly after each use with a cleaning solution and a damp cloth. For a deeper clean, use a cleaning kit, scraper and non-abrasive pad.
-
What is an induction cooktop?Samsung induction cooktops are completely flat and topped with a large pane of glass. The burners have defined circles for pots and pans, but unlike a traditional radiant electric cooktop, the circles stay relatively cool to the touch while in use.
-
What cookware can be used with induction ranges?As long as the cookware has a magnetic base, it will be compatible. Ferrous metals such as stainless steel and cast iron are suitable. The Samsung cooktop promo offers a great deal on a cookware set that you can shop here.
-
Are induction ranges energy efficient?Since very little heat is lost in induction cooking process, Samsung induction ranges heat more quickly and efficiently than gas or traditional radiant electric.
-
What are the voltage requirements for induction ranges?Ensure that you have a dedicated, properly grounded 220/240-volt branch circuit, protected by a 40-amp or larger circuit breaker. Accessories required (only included with ‘Delivery + Installation’ service) are a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord rated at 40 amp with 125/250 minimum volt range. A 40 amp range cord is recommended but a 50 amp range cord can be used if it is marked for use with nominal 1 3/8” diameter connection openings
