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 with first a damp cloth and then a final wipe 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.

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.

1. 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.

1. 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.

1. 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

over

1. 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

1. DO NOT touch heating elements or interior oven walls.

Reason: These walls may be hot enough to burn skin even after cooking is finished, oven though they do not appear to be so. Keep away from hot spot. Do not allow inflammable materials to come into contact with any interior area of the oven. Let the oven cool down first.

1. 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.

1. 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 hand in cold water for at least 10 minutes.

* Cover with 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.

- During microwave heating of beverages, there are results in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.

1. Be careful not to damage the power cable.

- Do not immerse power cable or plug in water and keep power cable away from heated surfaces.

- Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug.

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

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

1. Keep the inside of the oven clean.

- Clean the inside of the oven right after each use with a mild detergent solution, but let the microwave oven cool down before cleaning in order to avoid injury. Reason: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can cause the damage of painting and reduce the efficiency of the oven.

1. "Clicking" sound might be noticed while operating, especially in defrosting mode.

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

1. If the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will cut off automatically for safety. After standing for over 30 min, you can operate the oven normally.

- Do not worry is the oven continues to work after cooking has finished. Reason: This product is designed to fan for some minutes, not operating microwave oven(MWO), to cool down the inner electronic parts when the stop button is pressed or the door is opened after finishing cooking in case that the oven operates for some minutes in cooking(MWO, GRILL, CONVECTION, MWO+GRILL, MWO+CONVECTION). When cooking has finished, the oven will beep and flash "0" four times. The oven will then beep one time per minute.

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 material.

WARNING:

Do not use the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.

WARNING:

It is hazardous for anyone other than a compereent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

WARNING:

Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

WARNING:

Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

☒ The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The turntable must be in position in the oven. If a power level other than the maximum (100% - 900 W) is used, the water takes longer to boil

Open the oven door by pulling the handle on the right side of the door. Place a glass of water on the turntable. Close the door.

Press the start button and set the time to 4 or 5 minutes, by pressing the start button the appropriate number of times. Result: The oven heats the water for 4 or 5 minutes. The water should then be boiling.

How a Microwave Oven Works

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

• C o o k

Cooking Principle

1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron reflected at cavity and 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
4. Water content
5. 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.

What to Do if You are in Doubt or You have a Problem

Becoming familiar with a new appliance always takes a little time. If you have any of the problems listed below, try the solutions given. They may save you the time and inconvenience of an unnecessary service call.

◆ The following are normal occurrences.

• 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 timer correctly and pressed the Start button?
• 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.

* Solution: Install the oven away from televisions, radios and aerials.

• If interference is detected by the oven's microprocessor, the display may be reset.
  * Solution: Disconnect the power plug and reconnect it. Reset the time.

◆ "E3" message indicates

- The "E3" message is automatically activated prior to the microwave oven overheating. Should the "E3" message be activated, then depress the "Stop/Cancel" key to utilize the initialization mode.

If the above guidelines do not enable you to solve the problem, then contact your local Samsung customer service centre.

Please have the following information read;

• The model and serial numbers, normally printed on the rear of the oven
• Your warranty details

Cooking Guide

MICROWAVES

Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat and sugar content.

The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food.

COOKING

Cookware for microwave cooking:

Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum efficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.

Food suitable for microwave cooking:

Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard, soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that would normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example (see the chapter with tips, techniques and hints).

Covering during cooking

To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises as steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.

Standing times

After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature to even out within the food.

Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables

Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time - see table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer. Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after cooking. Cover during standing time.

Food Portion Power Time			(min.)	Standing Time(min.)	Instructions

Cooking Guide for fresh vegetables

Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Add 30-45 ml cold water (2-3 tbsp.) for every 250 g unless another water quantity is recommended – see table. Cook covered for the minimum time – see table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer. Stir once during and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after cooking. Cover during a standing time of 3 minutes.

Hint: Cut the fresh vegetables into even sized pieces. The smaller they are cut, the quicker they will cook.

All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power (900W).

REHEATING

Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens and hobs normally take.

Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20°C or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7°C.

Arranging and covering

Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more successful.

Power levels and stirring

Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be reheated using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.

- Check the tables for guidance.

In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up very quickly (mince pies, for example). Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir again before serving.

Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive boiling of liquids and possible scalding, stir before, during and after heating. Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food. It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if necessary.

Heating and standing times

When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time taken - for future reference.

• Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.

Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even out. The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless another time is recommended in the chart.

Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with the safety precautions.

REHEATING LIQUIDS

Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating.

Cooking Guide (continued)

DEFROSTING

Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if unexpected guests suddenly show up.

Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.

Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, drain off any liquid and remove any giblets as soon as possible. Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm.

If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield by wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting.

Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand for 20 minutes before continuing.

Leave the fish, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting. The standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer to the table below.

Hint: lat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and defrosting food.

For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to -20°C, use the following table as a guide.

All frozen food should be defrosted using defrosting power level (180 W).

Food Portion Time		(min.)	Standing Time (min.)	Instructions

Cooking Guide (continued)

GRILL

The grill-heating element is located underneath the ceiling of the cavity. It operates while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The turntable's rotation makes the food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 4 minutes will make the food brown more quickly.

Cookware for grilling:

Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt.

Food suitable for grilling:

Chops, sausages, steaks, hamburgers, bacon and gammon rashers, thin fish portions, sandwiches and all kinds of toast with toppings.

IMPORTANT REMARK:

Whenever the grill only mode is used, make sure that the grill-heating element is under the ceiling in the horizontal position and not on the back-wall in the vertical position. Please remember that food must be placed on the high rack, unless another instruction is recommended.

MICROWAVE + GRILL

This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill with the speed of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the food browns evenly. Three combination modes are available with this model: 600W + Grill , 450W + Grill and 300W + Grill .

Cookware for cooking with microwaves + grill

Please use cookware that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should be flameproof. Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt.

Food suitable for microwaves + grill cooking:

Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked food which need reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as foods which require a short cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also, this mode can be used for thick food portions that benefit from a browned and crispy top (e.g. chicken pieces, turning them over half way through cooking). Please refer to the grill table for further details.

IMPORTANT REMARK:

Whenever the combination mode (microwave + grill) is used, make sure that the grill heating element is under the ceiling in the horizontal position and not on the back-wall in the vertical position. The food should be placed on the high rack, unless another instruction is recommended. Otherwise it has to be placed directly on the turntable. Please refer to the instructions in the following chart. The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides.

Cooking Guide (continued)

CONVECTION

Cooking with convection is the traditional and well known method of cooking food in a traditional oven with hot air.

The heating element and the fan are situated on the back-wall, so that the hot air is circulating.

Cookware for convection cooking:

All conventional ovenproof cookware, baking tins and sheets – anything you would normally use in a traditional convection oven – can be used.

Food suitable for convection cooking:

All biscuits, individual scones, rolls and cakes should be made by this mode as well as rich fruit cakes, choux pastry and soufflés.

MICROWAVES +CONVECTION

This mode combines the microwave energy with the hot air and is therefore reducing the cooking time while giving the food a brown and crispy surface.

Cooking with convection is the traditional and well known method of cooking food in an oven with hot air circulated by a fan on the back-wall.

Cookware for cooking with microwaves + convection:

Should be able to let the microwaves pass through. Should be ovenproof (like glass, pottery or china without metal trims); similar to the cookware described under MW + Grill.

Food suitable for microwave + convection cooking:

All kinds of meats and poultry as well as casseroles and gratin dishes, sponge cakes and light fruit cakes, pies and crumbles, roast vegetables, scones and breads.

Cleaning Your Microwave Oven

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

• Turntable and Roller rings

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 turntable and heat for ten minutes at maximum power.

4. Wash the dishwasher-safe plate whenever necessary.

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

☑ Clean the microwave oven cavity right after each use with a mild detergent solution, but let the microwave oven cool down before cleaning in order to avoid injury.

☒ The instructions for cooking ranges, hobs and ovens shall state that a steam cleaner is not to be used.

Installation & Wiring Instructions

IMPORTANT NOTE :

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a mouldedplug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug and, if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1363 of the same rating must be used.

Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug.

Replacement covers are available from your Dealer. If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your Dealer for assistance. However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains socket, as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.

Wiring Instructions

WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock providing an escape wire for the electric current. The appliance is equipped with a mains lead which includes an earth wire for connecting to the earth terminal of your mains plug. The plug must be plugged into a socket that is properly installed and earthed.

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

• Green-and yellow : Earth

Blue

• B r o w n

Neutral

◆ As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings indentifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.
◆ Connect the green-and yellow wire to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol ( ) or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
◆ Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if in doubt about any of these instructions.

The manufacturer of this oven will not accept any liability for damage to persons or material for non observance of these requirements.

There are no user+serviceable parts inside the oven and if the mains lead of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by qualified service personnel approved by the manufacturer because special tools are required.

GREEN AND YELLOW 13 AMP FUSE BLUE BROWN

WARNING

Ensure that the plug and power cord are not damaged before use.

If you have any reason to remove the moulded plug from this appliance, immediately remove the fuse and dispose of the plug.

Do not connect the plug to a mains socket under any circumstances as there is a danger of electric shock.

CIRCUITS

Your microwave oven should be operated on a separate circuit from other appliances. Failure to do this may cause the circuit breaker to trip, the fuse to blow, or the food to cook more slowly.

Cooking Instructions On Food Packaging

Microwave Symbols

On the front of your oven there is a microwave oven symbol, as shown below.

This symbol has been introduced for your benefit when cooking or reheating packaged food.

Packaged food is also, increasingly, using a microwave symbol similar to the one below.

When ^e you see this

Symbol on food packaging, the cooking instructions are based on either the IEC Power Output Rating, or the Reheating Categories A, B, C, D or E.

Cooking Instructions

The IEC Power Output rating is an internationally standardised rating, so all microwave manufacturers now use the same method of measuring power output. If food packaging gives cooking instructions based on IEC Power ratings, set cooking times according to the IEC Power of your oven.

For example :

If the cooking instructions are based on a 650W oven, then you will need to reduce some cooking time for the CE1160/CE1161T/CE1162M/CE1163F (900W).

Ready meals are now very convenient and popular. These are meals which are already prepared and cooked by the food manufacturer, and then frozen, chilled or vacuum sealed for long life.

Increasingly, heating times for such ready meals are being based on the Heating Categories A, B, C, D and E.

On this instance, simply match the heating category of your oven to the instructions on the food package, and set your timer accordingly.

For example

If the heating instructions are 3 minutes on HIGH for a D category oven, then you will need to set your timer for less than 3 minutes on HIGH for the CE1160/CE1161T/

CE1162M/CE1163F (E category).

Always remember that cooking instructions are intended only as a guide. If you have followed the instructions and the food is still not piping hot throughout, simply return it to the oven and cook it until it is.

Storing and Repairing Your Microwave Oven

GB

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

☒ 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
