Setting Up Your Samsung Smart Range

What You Will Need

• Samsung Bespoke AI Slide-In Induction Range (installed and connected to power)
• SmartThings app (iOS or Android) with a Samsung account
• A 2.4 GHz WiFi network
• Your WiFi network name (SSID) and password

Step 1: Complete Physical Installation First

Before setting up smart features, ensure the range is fully installed according to the installation manual:

• The range must be connected to the proper electrical circuit (typically a 240V dedicated circuit for induction ranges).
• Verify the range powers on and all burners and the oven function correctly.
• Allow the range to complete its initial startup sequence, which may take a few minutes on first power-up.

Step 2: Connect to WiFi on the Range

1. On the range's control panel or display, navigate to Settings or look for the WiFi icon.
2. Select WiFi Setup or Network Settings.
3. The range will scan for available networks. Select your 2.4 GHz WiFi network. Most Samsung smart appliances do not support 5 GHz.
4. Enter your WiFi password using the on-screen keyboard.
5. Wait for the range to connect. A WiFi indicator on the display will confirm a successful connection.

Step 3: Add the Range in the SmartThings App

1. Open the SmartThings app and tap the + icon, then select Add Device.
2. Tap Samsung, then select Range or Cooking Appliance.
3. The app will search for the range on your network. If it does not appear, ensure the range is connected to the same WiFi network as your phone.
4. Once found, tap to add the range. Accept any terms of service and permissions.
5. Name the appliance (e.g., "Kitchen Range") and assign it to a room.

Step 4: Explore Smart Features

The Samsung Bespoke AI range offers several smart capabilities through the SmartThings app:

• Remote Monitoring — Check whether the oven is on or off, view the current temperature, and receive alerts when preheating is complete or cooking is done.
• Cooking Guides — Access recipes and cooking programs that automatically set the correct oven temperature and cooking time.
• Notifications — Receive alerts if a burner is left on or if the oven has been running for an extended time.
• Remote Control — Turn the oven off remotely (note: for safety, most ranges do not allow remote turn-on for the first use; you must enable remote start from the control panel).
• Voice Control — Use Alexa, Google Assistant, or Bixby to check oven status, set timers, and control compatible functions.

Step 5: Enable Remote Start (Optional)

To use remote control features, you must enable Remote Start on the range itself:

1. On the range's control panel, find and enable the Remote Start or Smart Control option.
2. This setting typically needs to be re-enabled each time you want to use remote control, as a safety precaution.
3. Once enabled, you can preheat the oven or adjust settings from the SmartThings app.

Tips for Best Performance

• The range connects directly via WiFi — no SmartThings Hub is required.
• Keep the range's firmware updated for the latest features and bug fixes. Updates are delivered automatically through the WiFi connection.
• If the WiFi connection drops, the range continues to operate normally as a standard appliance. Only smart features are affected.
• For security, review and manage connected users in the SmartThings app. Only authorized family members should have control access.
• Smart features are most useful for monitoring — you will still perform most cooking operations directly on the range for safety reasons.
