Using this Instruction Booklet

	GB	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 four 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 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.

(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

(2)Door hinges (broken or loose)

(3)Power cable

(d)The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.

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 oven going 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 transferred 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 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.

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

8.	Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.	GB
	• ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has
	been switched off so that the temperature can equalize.
	• Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.
	• Take care when handling the container after heating. You may burn
	yourself if the container is too hot.
	• A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.
	• 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: 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.
	• In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
	* Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 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’s bottle 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
	cable away 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.
	Reason: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can
	cause paint damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven.
12.	You may notice a “Clicking” sound during operation(especially when the oven
	is in defrosting).
	Reason: This sound is normal when the electrical power output is changing.

Safety Precautions(continued)

Installing Your Microwave Oven

	GB	13. When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut
		off automatically for safety. You can operate the oven normally after letting it
		stand for over 30 minutes.
		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 use or 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 should not be stored or hidden just above the
		oven.
		WARNING:
		If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been
		repaired by a competent person.
		WARNING:
		It is hazardous for anyone other than a comperent person to carry out any service or
		repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against
		exposure to microwave energy.
		WARNING:
		Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable
		to explode.
		WARNING:
		Only allow children to use the oven without supervicion when adequate instructions

have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

Place the oven on a flat, level surface that strong enough to safely bear the weight of the oven.

20 cm	10 cm
above	behind

85 cm	10 cm
of the floor	on the side

1.When you install your oven, make sure there is adequate ventilation for your oven by leaving at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space behind, and on the sides of the oven and 20 cm (8 inches) of space above the oven and 85 cm (thirty three inches) of the floor.

2.Remove all packing materials inside the oven. Install the roller ring and turntable.

Check that the turntable rotates freely.

3.This microwave oven has to be positioned so that plug is accessible.

Never block the air vents as the oven may overheat and automatically switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.

For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 230 Volt, 50Hz, AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Do not install the microwave oven in hot or damp surroundings like next to a traditional oven or radiator. The power supply specifications of the oven must be respected and any extension cable used must be of the same standard as the power cable supplied with the oven. Wipe the interior and the door seal with a damp cloth before using your microwave oven for the first time.

Setting the Time (CE2975N)

How a Microwave Oven Work

Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock. 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

Do not forget to reset the clock when you switch to and from summer and winter time.

1. To display the time in the...Then press the button...

24-hour notation	Once
12-hour notation	Twice

2. Turn the dial knob to set hour.

3. Press the Clock ( ) button

4.Turn the dial knob to set minute.

5.When the right time is displayed, press the button again to start the clock and press the button. Result: The time is displayed when ever you are not

using the microwave oven.

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy

GB

released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour.

You can use your microwave oven to:

•Defrost

•Auto Reheat/Cook

•Junior/Snack

•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.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 recipient 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
