You have just purchased a SAMSUNG microwave oven. Your Owner’s Instructions contain much valuable information on cooking with your microwave oven:

• Safety precautions

• Suitable accessories and cookware

• Useful cooking tips

Inside the cover you will find a quick look-up guide explaining four basic cooking operations:

• Cooking food

• Defrosting food

• Grilling food

• Adding extra cooking time

At the front 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 step-by-step procedures use three different symbols.

Important Note Caution

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

Failure to observe the following safety precautions mayresult 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 first with a damp cloth and then with a soft dry cloth.

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 aproperly

qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.

Safety Precautions

Important Safety Instructions.

Read Carefully and keep for futurereference. Before cooking foodor liquids in your microwave oven, please check

that the following safetyprecautions 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:

2. DO NOT heat:

• Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers.

• Airtight food. Reason:

Tip:

3. DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty. Reason: Tip:

4. DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper. Reason:

5. ALWAYS useovengloveswhenremovingadishfromtheoven. Reason:

6. DO NOT touch heating elements or interior oven walls. Reason:

7. Toreducetheriskoffireintheovencavity:

• Do notstore 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

8. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.

• ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has

• Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.

• Take care when handling the container after heating. You may burn

• A risk ofdelayed eruptive boiling exists.

Electric arcing or sparking may occur and maydamage the oven.

Ex) Baby food jars Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes

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 dishesare therefore hot.

These walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has finished, even though they do not appear to be so. 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

been switched off so that the temperature can equalize.

yourself if thecontainer is too hot.

• To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating. Reason:

• In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions: * Immerse the scalded areain cold water for at least10 minutes. * Cover with a 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’sbottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated.

9. Be careful not to damage the power cable.

• Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power cableawayfromheatedsurfaces.

• 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:

11. Keep the inside of the oven clean. Reason:

12. You may notice a “Clicking” sound during operation(especially when the oven is in defrosting). Reason

13. When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut off automatically for safety. Youcan operate the oven normally after letting it stand for over 30 minutes.

During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed; this means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is removed from the oven. You may scald yourself.

The hot air or steam released may cause scalding. Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can

cause paint damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven.

: Thissound is normal when the electrical power output is changing.

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 materials.

IMPORTANT

Young children should NEVER be allowed to useor play with the microwave oven. Nor should they be left unattended near the microwave oven when it is in use. Items of interest to children shouldnot be stored or hidden just above the oven.

How a Microwave Oven Work

Checking that Your Ovenis OperatingCorrectly

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy

released enables food tobe cookedor reheated without changing either the form or the colour.

You can use your microwave oven to:

• Defrost

• Instant Reheat/Cook

•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 recipient used and the properties of the food:

• Quantity and density

• Water content

• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

☛ As thecentre of the food is cooked by heatdissipation, cooking

continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven. Standing times specified in recipesand in thisbooklet must therefore be respected to ensure:

• Even cooking of the food right to the centre

• The sametemperature throughout thefood

The following simple procedure enables youto check that your ovenis working correctly at all times.

First, place a bowl of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.

Model : CE2933N/CE2933NT

1. Press the button and set the time to 4-5minutes by pressing the 1min button the appropriate number of times.

2. Press button.

1. 1SetthepowerleveltomaximumbyturningCOOKING POWER CONTROL knob.

2. Set the time 4 to 5 minutes by turning the TIMER knob.

Result:

The water should then be boiling.

✉ The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The

turntable must be in positionin the oven. If a power level other than the maximum is used, the water takes longer to boil.
