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.

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)

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

CE117PAECX_XSA_DE68-04003M_EN.indd 11 19/04/2012 09:41:55

ENGLISH

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 aluminum 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.

“E-24” message indicates.

• The “E-24” message is automatically activated prior to the microwave

oven overheating. Should the “E-24” 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 serivice 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.

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 “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.

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.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT OR 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/+30s ( ) button?

• Is the door closed?

• Have you overloaded the electric circuit and caused a fuse to blow or a breaker to be triggered.
