Important Note

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

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

(a) 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.
(b) 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.
(c) 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

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

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 Example: Baby food jars
◆ Airtight food Example: 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.

Reason: The 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.

Reason: These walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has finished, although 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 to allow the temperature to equalize.
◆ Stir during heating if necessary and ALWAYS stir after heating.
◆ To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should stir before, during, and after heating.
◆ In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
- Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.
- Cover with a clean, dry dressing.
- Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.
♦ NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.
◆ ALWAYS check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to the baby.
♦ NEVER heat a baby's bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated.

9 Be careful not to damage the power cable.

Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power cable away from heated surfaces.
- Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug.

10 Stand at arm's length from the oven when opening the door.

Reason: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.

11 Keep the inside of the oven clean

Reason: Food particles or spaltered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can cause the damage of painting and reduce the efficiency of the oven.

12 "Clicking" sound might be noticed while operating, especially at defrosting mode.

Reason: When the power output is changing electrically, you may hear that sound. This normal.

13 When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut off automatically for safety. Afer standing over 30 min, you can operate the oven normally.

14 Please don't mind if the oven works continuously after the cooking over.

Reason: This oven is designed to work without microwave energy to cool internal electric parts after the cooking. (The display reads 0")

Open the door or press any buttons except one minute + button to stop the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

During cooking, you should look into the oven from time to time when food is being heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials.

IMPORTANT

Young children should NEVER be allowed to use or play with the microwave oven. Nor should they be left unattended near the microwave oven when it is in use. Items of interest to children should not be stored or hidden just above the oven.

Accessories

Depending on the model that you have purchased, you are supplied with several accessories that can be used in a variety of ways.

1 Coupler, already placed over the motor shaft in the base of the oven.
Purpose: The coupler rotates the glass plate.
2 Roller ring, to be placed in the centre of the oven.
Purpose: The roller ring supports the glass plate.
3 Glass plate, to be placed on the roller ring with the centre fitting on to the coupler.
Purpose: The glass plate serves as the main cooking surface; it can be easily removed for cleaning.

4 Metal rack, to be placed on the glass plate.

Purpose: The metal rack can be used to cook two dishes at the same time. A small dish may be placed on the glass plate and a second dish on the rack. The metal rack can be used in grill and combination cooking.

DO NOT operate the microwave oven without the roller ring and the glass plate.

Installing Your Microwave Oven

Place the oven on a flat, level surface strong enough to safely bear the weight of the oven.

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, on the sides of the oven and 20 cm (8 inches) of above.

2 Remove all packing materials inside the oven. Install the roller ring and turntable. Check that the turntable rotates freely.

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 a special cable (I-SHENG SP022, KDK KKP4819D, EUROELECTRIC 3410, SAMIL SP-106B, MOONSUNG EP-48E). Contact your local dealer to have it replaced. The power cable of ISRAEL is PENCON(ZD16A), S/AFRICA APEX LEADS SA16 and NIGERIA, GHANA, KENYA and U.A.E is PENCON(UD13A1).
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.

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour.

You can use your microwave oven to:

♦ Defrost
◆ Reheat
♦ Cook

Cooking Principle

1 The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the glass plate. 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 dishes used and the properties of the food:

◆ Quantity and density

◆ Water content

♦ Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

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

Checking that Your Oven is Operating Correctly

When cooking food with irregular forms, place the thinnest parts, which will cook faster, towards the centre of the dish.

Examples: Chicken legs, lamb cutlets, whole fish.

To prevent the thinnest parts of some food from becoming overcooked, cover the tips with small pieces of aluminium foil (keep away from the oven walls).

Examples: Heads and tails of whole fish, wings on a whole chicken.

Line drawing of a bowl containing various fruits and vegetables (no text or symbols)

If you are cooking several pieces of the same type of food, try to have them of even sizes and place then in a ring around the dish.

Examples: Potatoes, cauliflower pieces, tomatoes.

Simple line drawing of a hand holding a fork above three sausages (no text or symbols)

Food with skins must be pricked with a fork to allow the steam to escape and to prevent the skin from breaking.

Examples: Potatoes, tomatoes, sausages, egg yolks, whole fish.

Recommendations

DO NOT spill water in the vents.

NEVER use any abrasive products or chemical solvents.

Take particular care when cleaning the door seals to ensure that no particles:

◆ Accumulate
◆ Prevent the door from closing correctly

The following parts of your microwave oven should be cleaned regularly to prevent grease and food particles from building up:

◆ Inside and outside surfaces
◆ Door and door seals
♦ Glass plate and roller ring

ALWAYS ensure that the door seals are clean and the door closes properly.

1 Clean the outside surfaces with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
2 Remove any splashes or stains on the inside surfaces or on the roller ring with a soapy cloth. Rinse and dry.
3 To loosen hardened food particles and remove smells, place a cup of diluted lemon juice on the glass plate and heat for ten minutes at maximum power.
4 Wash the dishwasher-safe plate whenever necessary.

Storing and Repairing Your Microwave Oven

A few simple precautions should be taken when storing or having your microwave oven serviced.

The oven must not be used if the door or door seals are damaged:

♦ Broken hinge
♦ Deteriorated seals
♦ Distorted or bent oven casing

Only a qualified microwave service technician should perform repairs.

NEVER remove the outer casing from the oven. If the oven is faulty and needs servicing or you are in doubt about its condition:

◆ Unplug it from the wall socket
◆ Contact the nearest after-sales service centre

Storing the Oven

If you wish to store your oven away temporarily, choose a dry, dust-free place.

Reason: Dust and damp may adversely affect the working parts in the oven.

SAMSUNG strives to improve its products at all times. Both the design specifications and these user instructions are thus subject to change without notice.
