How long should my Samsung oven take to preheat?

A Samsung oven should preheat to 180°C within approximately 15-20 minutes. The oven will beep when it reaches the target temperature. Do not open the door during preheating as this releases heat and extends the time. Convection modes may preheat faster due to fan-assisted heating. Some models have a Fast Preheat function for quicker heating. If preheating takes significantly longer, check that the oven is receiving proper power supply.

How do I know if my cookware is compatible with my Samsung induction hob?
