Using this Instruction Booklet
Thank you for purchasing a SAMSUNG microwave oven. Your Owner’s
Instructions contains much valuable information on cooking with your
new microwave oven:
• Safety precautions
• Accessories and cookware
• Useful cooking tips
Inside the cover you will find a quick look-up guide explaining three basic
cooking operations:
• Cooking (microwave mode)
• Defrosting
• Adding an extra 30 seconds, if the dish is inadequately
cooked or requires additional reheating
At the end 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 illustrations in the step-by-step procedures use two 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.
(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 betwe en the oven do or and fron t face, or allow f ood or
cleaner residues to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Ensure that the door and
door sealing surfaces are kept clean by wipi ng 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 traine d b y the ma nuf act ur er .
It is particularly important that the oven door close s prope rly an d th at ther e 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 rep a ire d by a nyo ne othe r th an a pr op er ly
qualified microwave service technician traine d b y the ma nuf act ur er .
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 o ven go ing 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 tra nsf er red
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 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.
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.

Safety Precautions (continued)
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 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.
9. Be careful not to damage the power cable.
• Do not immerse power cable or plug in water an d kee p pow er cab le aw ay
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.
• 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.
12. “Clicking” sound might be noticed while operating, especially in defrosting
mode.
Reason:
When the power output is changing electrically, you may he a r that
sound. This is normal.
13. 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 opene d 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.

How a Microwave Oven W orks
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
☛
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 Y ou 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 trim mings?
• 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 an d aeri als.
• 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
• A clear description of the problem
Then contact your local dealer or SAMSUNG aftersales service.
1.
The microwaves generated by the magnetron reflect ed
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)
