Why are gas stoves being discontinued?
Gas stoves are not universally “discontinued,” but some cities, states, and builders are shifting away from new gas hookups due to indoor air quality and emissions concerns. Your Samsung slide-in gas range NX58K9850SG is designed for safe operation when installed, vented, and used as described in the NX58K9850SG owner's manual.
What’s driving the shift away from gas in some areas
Several factors are pushing more homes toward electric or induction cooking:
- Indoor air quality concerns: Gas combustion can add pollutants to indoor air, especially with poor ventilation.
- Environmental goals: Some policies aim to reduce fossil-fuel use in buildings.
- New construction trends: Builders may choose electric to simplify permitting and meet efficiency targets.
- Local code changes: Some jurisdictions restrict gas in new builds (existing gas appliances are often still allowed).
- Consumer preference: Induction performance and easier cleaning are influencing buying decisions.
What matters for owners of NX58K9850SG
For an existing Samsung gas range, the practical focus is safe installation, proper airflow, and correct combustion.
- Keep vents and air openings clear; blocked vents can cause incorrect combustion.
- Use a vent hood when cooking, especially for high-heat tasks.
- Avoid using foil or foil liners in ways that block airflow in the oven.
- Know where the gas shut-off valve is and how to turn it off.
- Keep children away from hot surfaces; use control/door lockout features when available.
Quick comparison: gas vs electric (what homeowners consider)
| Topic | Gas cooking | Electric/induction cooking |
|---|---|---|
| Heat response | Fast flame adjustment | Induction is very fast; radiant is moderate |
| Ventilation need | Higher priority due to combustion | Still recommended for smoke/grease |
| Power outage | Cooktop may work with manual lighting (model-dependent) | Typically does not work |
| Emissions in home | Combustion byproducts possible | No combustion byproducts |
Why it matters
Most “discontinuation” talk is really about future home infrastructure (new hookups and building standards). For day-to-day cooking, your results and safety depend on airflow, burner performance, and keeping components like igniters and sensors working correctly.

How big is the Samsung NX58K9850SG?
The Samsung NX58K9850SG slide-in gas range has a 5.8 cubic foot oven capacity, which is considered a larger-capacity oven for this class of range. For the exact exterior width, height, and depth (including handle and rear clearance), use the dimensions listed in the NX58K9850SG owner's manual.
What “big” means for this model
The manual highlights that this range’s oven capacity is 5.8 cu. ft., giving you more usable cooking space for large roasts, multiple racks of cookies, or big casserole dishes.
Typical fit and space planning (helpful guidelines)
Most slide-in gas ranges like the Samsung NX58K9850SG are designed to fit a standard range opening; use these common planning checks before you measure:
- Measure the cabinet cutout width and compare to your current range
- Confirm countertop height and whether leveling legs can fine-tune the fit
- Allow clearance for the oven door swing and nearby drawers
- Verify rear clearance for the gas line and power cord
- Check overhead clearance to cabinets and the vent hood
Where to find the exact dimensions
We recommend pulling the exact numbers from the specification section of the NX58K9850SG owner's manual. That is the best source for:
- Overall width, height, and depth
- Depth with the door closed and with the handle
- Required clearances to walls and cabinets
- Gas and electrical connection locations
Quick reference: capacity vs. exterior size
| Spec type | What it tells you | NX58K9850SG info |
|---|---|---|
| Oven capacity | Interior cooking volume | 5.8 cu. ft. |
| Exterior dimensions | Fit in your kitchen opening | Use manual specs |
| Clearances | Safe spacing to cabinets and walls | Use manual specs |
Why it matters
Oven capacity (5.8 cu. ft.) tells you how much you can cook at once, but exterior dimensions and clearances determine whether the range installs correctly and vents safely in your kitchen.

What's the average cost to install a gas stove?
For a Samsung slide-in gas range like model NX58K9850SG, professional installation typically runs $250 to $600 when you already have a compatible gas shutoff valve, flexible connector, and 120V outlet in place. If gas line work, venting changes, or permits are needed, total install cost commonly rises to $800 to $3,550+.
What drives the installation price
These items usually make the biggest difference in cost and time:
- Existing hookup condition (shutoff valve location, connector age, leak-free fittings)
- Anti-tip bracket installation and verification (required for slide-in ranges)
- Gas type (natural gas vs. LP conversion work)
- Electrical needs (properly grounded 120V outlet for ignition and controls)
- Access and complexity (tight cutout, heavy range, leveling, trim adjustments)
- Local permit and inspection requirements
Typical cost ranges (what you can expect)
| Scenario | What’s included | Typical install cost (labor and materials) |
|---|---|---|
| Simple replacement | Disconnect old range, connect new range, basic leak test, level | $250 to $600 |
| New or relocated gas line | Running or modifying gas piping, shutoff valve changes | $800 to $3,550+ |
| LP conversion setup | Converting burners/orifices and regulator settings (qualified tech) | Add-on cost varies |
Installation requirements that matter for this model
Samsung’s safety guidance for this range emphasizes professional installation and anti-tip protection:
- Have installation and service performed by a qualified installer/service agency
- Use new flexible connectors (do not reuse old connectors)
- Confirm the anti-tip device is installed and engaged after the range is in place
- If converting to LP gas, a qualified technician must perform the conversion steps
For the exact safety steps and checks, follow the NX58K9850SG manual.
Why it matters
A correct install is not just about getting the burners to light. Proper gas connections, leak testing, grounding, and anti-tip engagement help prevent fire hazards, gas leaks, and tip-over risk, and they also reduce nuisance ignition problems later.

How much does a Samsung gas range weigh?
The Samsung slide-in gas range model NX58K9850SG weighs 248 lb (product weight). Use this number for delivery planning, flooring protection, and safely positioning the range without stressing the gas line or power cord; confirm details in the NX58K9850SG owner's manual.
What “weight” usually means
Manufacturers may list more than one weight. Here’s how to use each one.
- Product (net) weight: the range itself, unboxed (best for moving into place)
- Shipping (gross) weight: range plus packaging (best for freight and delivery)
- Installed weight: typically the same as product weight unless accessories are added
Quick planning guide for a 248 lb range
- Plan on 2 strong adults minimum; 3 makes it safer on stairs.
- Use an appliance dolly with straps; keep the range upright.
- Remove loose items (grates, burner caps, oven racks) to prevent shifting.
- Protect floors with thin hardboard or an appliance mat when sliding.
- Avoid pulling on the door handle; push from the cabinet sides.
| Situation | What to plan for | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Moving across a room | Dolly + straps | Prevents tipping and floor damage |
| Sliding into the cutout | Floor protection + slow, straight push | Reduces risk of scratching and misalignment |
| Reconnecting utilities | Check cord and gas connector slack | Prevents strain and leaks |
Why weight matters
A 248 lb slide-in gas range can damage flooring or connections if it is dragged or tilted incorrectly. Proper handling also helps keep the range level so burners and baking performance stay consistent.
If the oven won’t ignite after moving
If the oven stops heating after a move, an ignition component may have been jarred or weakened. A common part involved in oven ignition is the Samsung range bake igniter DG94-01012A.
