Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.

While the oven is operating, do not turn it off by unplugging the power cord. Do not insert fingers or foreign substances. If foreign substances enter the oven, unplug the power cord and contact a local Samsung service centre. Do not apply excessive pressure or impact to the oven.

Do not place the oven over fragile objects.

Ensure the power voltage, frequency, and current matches the product specifications.

Firmly plug the power plug into the wall socket. Do not use multiple plug adapters, extension cords, or electric transformers.

Do not hook the power cord on metal objects. Make sure the cord is between objects or behind the oven.

Do not use a damaged power plug, power cord, or loose wall socket. For damaged power plugs or cords, contact a local Samsung service centre.

Do not pour or directly spray water onto the oven.

Do not place objects on the oven, inside, or on the oven door.

Do not spray volatile materials such as insecticide on the oven.

Do not store flammable materials in the oven. Because alcohol vapours can contact hot parts of the oven, use caution when heating food or drinks containing alcohol. Children may bump themselves or catch their fingers on the door. When opening/closing the door, keep children away.

Microwave warning

Microwave heating of beverages may result in delayed eruptive boiling; always use caution when handling the container. Always allow beverages to stand at least 20 seconds before handling. If necessary, stir during heating. Always stir after heating.

In the event of scalding, follow these First Aid instructions:

  1. Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.

  2. Cover with a clean, dry dressing.

  3. Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.

To avoid damaging the tray or rack, do not put the tray or rack in water shortly after cooking.

Do not use the oven for deep fat frying because the oil temperature cannot be controlled. This could result in a sudden boil over of hot oils.

Microwave oven precautions

Only use microwave-safe utensils. Do not use metallic containers, gold or silver trimmed dinnerware, skewers, etc.

Remove wire twist ties. Electric arcing may occur.

Do not use the oven to dry papers or clothes.

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
- Cook

Cooking principle.

SAMSUNG MG23DG4524C - How a microwave oven works - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a microwave oven with a roasted chicken inside (no text or symbols)
  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
- Water content
- Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

NOTE

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.

Oven use

Checking that your oven is operating correctly

The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is working correctly at all times. If you are in doubt, refer to the section entitled "Troubleshooting" on the page 38 to 41.

NOTE

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 % - 800 W) is used, the water takes longer to boil.

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

SAMSUNG MG23DG4524C - NOTE - 1

Press the Start/+30s button and set the time to 4 or 5 minutes, by pressing the Start/+30s button the appropriate number of times.

Result: The oven heats the water for 4 or 5 minutes.

The water should then be boiling.

Setting the time

When power is supplied, "88:88" and then "12:00" is automatically displayed on the display.

Please set the current time. The time can be displayed in either the 24-hour or 12-hour notation. You must set the clock:

- When you first install your microwave oven

• After a power failure

Cookware guide

To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used.

Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.

The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.

CookwareMicrowave-safeComments
Aluminum foil Can be used in small quantities to protect areas against overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to the oven wall or if too much foil is used.
Crust plate Do not preheat for more than 8 minutes.
China and earthenware Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually suitable, unless decorated with a metal trim.
Disposable polyester cardboard dishes Some frozen foods are packaged in these dishes.

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.

Reheating

Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens 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 800 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.

Reheating baby food

Baby food:

Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after reheating! Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the temperature. Recommended serving temperature: between 30-40 °C.

Baby milk:

Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a baby's bottle with teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before standing time and again before serving! Always carefully check the temperature of baby milk or food before giving it to the baby. Recommended serving temperature: ca. 37 °C.

Remark:

Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns. Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for reheating.

Manual 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: Flat 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.

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 3-5 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, 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:

600 W + Grill, 450 W + Grill and 300 W + 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.

Cooking guide

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, the food should be placed on the high rack, unless another instruction is recommended. Please refer to the instructions in the following chart.

The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides.
