Installing Your Microwave Oven
Place the oven on a flat, level surface that strong
enough to safely bear the weight of the oven.
✽
Never
block the air vents as the oven may overheat and automatically
switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.
✽
For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 230 Volt, 50Hz, AC
earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
✽
Do not
install the microwave oven in hot or damp surroundings like next
to a traditional oven or radiator. The power supply specifications of the
oven must be respected and any extension cable used must be of the
same standard as the power cable supplied with the oven. Wipe the
interior and the door seal with a damp cloth before using your microwave
oven for the first time.
How a Microwave Oven Works
Cooking Principle
☛
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues
even when you have taken the food out of the oven. Standing times specified
in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:
•
Even cooking of the food right to the centre
•
The same temperature throughout the food
What to Do if You are in Doubt or Have a
Problem
If you have any of the problems listed below try the solutions given.
◆
This is normal.
•
Condensation inside the oven
•
Air flow around the door and outer casing
•
Light reflection around the door and outer casing
•
Steam escaping from around the door or vents.
◆
The food is not cooked at all
•
Have you set the time correctly?
•
Is the door closed?
•
Have you overloaded the electric circuit and caused a fuse to blow or a
breaker to be triggered?
◆
The food is either overcooked or undercooked
•
Was the appropriate cooking length set for the type of food?
•
Was an appropriate power level chosen?
◆
Sparking and cracking occur inside the oven (arcing)
•
Have you used a dish with metal trimmings?
•
Have you left a fork or other metal utensil inside the oven?
•
Is aluminium foil too close to the inside walls?
◆
The oven causes interference with radios or televisions
•
Slight interference may be observed on televisions or radios when the
oven is operating. This is normal.To solve this problem, install the oven
away from televisions, radios and aerials.
•
If interference is detected by the oven’s microprocessor, the display may
be reset.To solve this problem, disconnect the power plug and reconnect
it. Reset the time.

If the above guidelines do not enable you to solve the problem,
contact your local dealer or SAMSUNG after-sales servic.
1.
When you install your oven, make sure there is adequate
ventilation for your oven by leaving at least 10 cm (4 inches)
of space behind, and on the sides of the oven and 20 cm (8
inches) of space above.
2.
Remove all packing materials inside the oven.
Install the roller ring and turntable.
Check that the turntable rotates freely.
1.
The microwaves generated by the magnetron are
distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the
turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.
2.
The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a
depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then continues
as the heat is dissipated within the food.
3.
Cooking times vary according to the container used
and the properties of the food:
•
Quantity and density
•
Water content
•
Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
