Samsung Electronics today announced its new Slide-in Ranges¹ and Over-the-Range Microwave² with Air Fry Max, bringing together advanced cooking technologies, premium design and connected experiences to elevate everyday cooking. Available in both electric and gas options, the new Samsung Slide-in Ranges are designed to help consumers prepare healthier meals,³ achieve consistent cooking results and create a more refined kitchen environment.

“Consumers today are looking for kitchen appliances that both make cooking easier and complement the way they live and entertain at home,” said Hyoung Min Park, VP and Head of Customer Experience Team for the Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Whether preparing a quick weekday meal or cooking for family and guests, Samsung’s new Slide-in Ranges and Over-the-Range Microwave with Air Fry Max elevate cooking and make the entire process more seamless.”

Crispy, Healthier Cooking Achieved With Greater Ease

The new Slide-in Ranges make it easier to prepare crispy, delicious meals with less effort — thanks to Air Fry Max. Designed to deliver crisp, golden results in less time⁴ without preheating, Air Fry Max helps consumers prepare everyday meals with ease. High temperatures and powerful convection fans deliver the crunch and taste consumers love while also helping to reduce cooking time.

Additionally, the ranges feature True Convection for faster, more even baking and Air Sous Vide,⁵ which uses precise heat and airflow to help lock in flavor and moisture for gourmet cooking results at home.

To accommodate different cooking preferences, Samsung is introducing both electric and gas models of the Slide-in Range. The electric ranges feature a 3.6 kW Express Boil cooktop with dual-ring elements that help accommodate a variety of cookware sizes, while the gas models come with a powerful 23 K BTU Dual Power Burner that delivers fast, high-heat cooking for tasks such as sautéing, searing and boiling.

A More Cohesive Kitchen Aesthetic

The new Slide-in Ranges combine premium design details with intuitive usability. Featuring the same handle design found on Samsung’s 2026 refrigerator lineup, they help create a cohesive, unified aesthetic throughout the kitchen.

Additionally, Illuminated Precision Knobs for Slide-in Ranges provide clear visual feedback by lighting up when the cooktop is in use, helping consumers instantly see when the cooktop is on. The built-in display is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, as well, making it easier to view and adjust cooking settings. This results in enhanced usability in the kitchen.

Samsung also brings a premium touch to everyday interactions through its Soft Close Door for Slide-in Ranges. This feature allows the door to close smoothly and quietly, offering a seamless and refined experience in the kitchen. Whether users push the door shut with a foot or close it firmly with one hand, the mechanism softly catches the door and guides it shut. The functionality provided by Soft Close Door is similar to soft-close features found in premium automobiles, bringing elegance and ease to users while they cook.

More Efficient Cooking With Appliances Designed To Work Together

Samsung’s new Over-the-Range Microwave with Air Fry Max is designed to complement the Slide-in Ranges both functionally and aesthetically.

With Air Fry Max available on both the microwave and the ranges, consumers can prepare larger meals or cook multiple air-fried dishes at once. The feature delivers crispy, healthier results up to 15% faster,⁶ while Convection Cooking circulates heat to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the cavity, which helps cook meals faster⁷ and more evenly.

The Slide-in Range and Over-the-Range Microwave also work together through Auto Connectivity,⁸ which wirelessly syncs the two appliances for an intuitive and convenient cooking experience. When the cooktop is turned on, for example, the Microwave automatically activates its light and ventilation hood. This helps improve visibility and airflow while reducing the need for manual adjustments.

Furthermore, the Over-the-Range Microwave features a slanted, ergonomic design that provides clear visibility to the cooktop while seamlessly blending in with the rest of the kitchen.

Staying Connected To Cooking With SmartThings

Both the Slide-in Ranges and Over-the-Range Microwave can be connected through SmartThings.⁹ This allows consumers to conveniently control, monitor and manage these appliances from their smartphone or with a voice assistant¹⁰ — while also helping them discover recipes¹¹ and plan meals more easily¹² using SmartThings Food.
