Using this Instruction Booklet

You have just purchased a SAMSUNG microwave oven. Your Owner’s
Instructions contain much valuable information on cooking with your
microwave oven:

Safety precautions

Suitable accessories and cookware

Useful cooking tips

Inside the cover you will find a quick look-up guide explaining four
basic cooking operations:

Cooking food

Auto Power Defrosting of food

Grilling food

Adding extra cooking time

At the front of the booklet you will find illustrations of the oven, and
more importantly the control panel, so that you can find the buttons
more easily.

The step-by-step procedures use four different symbols.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure
to microwave energy.
1.

Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to operate the oven with
the door open or to tamper with the safety interlocks (door latches) or to insert
anything into the safety interlock holes.

2.

Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or allow food or
cleaner residues to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Ensure that the door and
door sealing surfaces are kept clean by wiping after use first with a damp cloth
and then with a soft dry cloth.

3.

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been repaired by a
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer. It is
particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no
damage to the:
(1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces
(2) Door hinges (broken or loose)
(3) Power cable

4.

The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.

Safety Precautions

Important Safety Instructions.

Read Carefully and keep for future reference.

Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check
that the following safety precautions are taken.

1.

DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:

Metallic containers

Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings

Skewers, forks, etc.

Reason:

Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.

2.

DO NOT heat:

Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers
Ex) Baby food jars

Airtight food.
Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes

Reason: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.

Tip:

Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.

3.

DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty.
Reason: The oven walls may be damaged.
Tip:

Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times.
The water will absorb the microwaves if you accidentally set the
oven going when it is empty.

4.

DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper.
ReasonThe cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the

oven.

5.

ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven.
Reason:

Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred
from the food to the dish.The dishes are therefore hot.

6.

DO NOT touch heating elements or interior oven walls.
ReasonThese walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has

finished, even though they do not appear to be so. Do not allow
inflammable materials to come into contact with any interior area of
the oven. Let the oven cool down first.

7.

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

Do not store flammable materials in the oven

Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags

Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers If smoke is observed,
keep the oven door closed and switch off or disconnect the oven from the
power supply

8.

Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.

ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has
been switched off so that the temperature can equalize.

Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.

Take care when handling the container after heating. You may burn
yourself if the container is too hot.

A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.
