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) Underno 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) Donot 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

Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.

The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.
Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.

Theovenwallsmaybedamaged.
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.

The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the
oven.

Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred
from the food to the dish. The dishes are therefore hot

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.

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.

• Inthe 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.

• NEVERfill 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

How aMicrowave Oven W orks

Checking thatYourOven is Operating Correctly

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
turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.

2. Themicrowavesareabsorbedbythefooduptoa
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)

☛ 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

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 “What to Do if You are in Doubt or Have a Problem” on the
page.

✉ 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.

1. Press the Start ( )buttonandsetthetimeto4or5
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.

Using a Crusting Plate

C138STT / C138STF / C139STT / C139STF only

Normally when cooking food in just a microwave oven, or through the
microwave mode in grill/convection ovens, foods that are made with
pastries normally become soggy. Using the Samsung Crusting plate
helps maintain the crispiness of your food

The crusting plate can also be used for bacon, eggs, sausages, etc.

☛ Before using the crusting plate, preheat it by selecting the

combination mode for 3 to 5 minutes:

• Combination of convection (250°C) and microwaves (600 W
power level) or

• Combination of grill and microwaves (600 W power level)

• See page 26 and page 27 respectively.

1. Preheat the crusting plate, as described above.

• Useoven gloves at all times as the crusting plate will
become very hot.

2. Brush the plate with oil if you are cooking food, such as
bacon and eggs, in order to brown the food nicely.

3. Place the food on the crusting plate.

• Donot place any recipients on the crusting plate that

are not heat-resistant (plastic bowls for example).

4. Place the crusting plate on the turntable in the microwave
oven.

• Never place the crusting plate in the oven without the

turntable.

8. Press the Start ()button.
Result:

Cooking starts.

◆ When cooking has finished, the oven will
beep and flash “0” four times. The oven will
then beep one time per minute.

How to clean the crusting plate

The best way to clean the crusting plate is to wash it with
hot water and detergent and then rinse if off with clean
water. Do not use a scrubbing brush or a hard sponge
otherwise the top layer will be damaged.

☛ As the crusting plate has a Teflon layer, if you use it incorrectly, it

can be damaged.

• Never cut the food on the plate. Remove the food from the
plate prior to cutting.

• Turn the food over preferably with a plastic or wooden
spatula.

Choosing the Accessories

Traditional convection cooking does not require any
special cookware. You should, however, use only
cookware that you would use in your normal oven.

Microwave-safe cantainers are not usually suitable
for convection cooking; don’t use plastic containers,
dishes, paper cups, towels, etc.

If you wish to select a combined cooking mode
(microwave and grill or convection), use only
recipients that are microwave-safe and oven-proof.
Metallic cookware or utensils may damage your oven.

For convection cooking, it is recommended that you preheat the oven
to the appropriate temperature before placing the food in the oven.

When the oven reaches the requested temperature, it is maintained for
approximately 10 minutes; it is then switched off automatically.

Check that the heating element is in the correct position for the type of
cooking that you require. Open the door and place the turntable.

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.

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
effectiveness. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel,
aluminum 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, gra ins, 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.

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 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 p ies, 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.

Cooking Guide (continued)

DEFROSTING

Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently
defrost frozen food in a short period of time.
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: You will obtain more even defrosting results if you defrost smaller

pieces of meat, rather than larger joints of meat.

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).

Cooking Guide (continued)

GRILL

GB

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:
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.

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 m ode 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:

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.

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, can be used in the microwave whilst
cooking with only the Convection Mode.

Food suitable for convection cooking:

Foods that contain pastry are suitable in this mode (Cake, Pies etc).

MICROWAVES +CONVECTION

This mode combines the microwave energy with the hot air and therefore reduces
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:

Cookware 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, pies and crumbles, roast vegetables, scones and breads.
