✽

Caution

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.

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.

AMSUNG ELECTRONICS

Safety Precautions

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.

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

7. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

AMSUNG ELECTRONICS

Reason: Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred from the food to

the dish.The dishes are therefore hot.

Reason: These walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has finished, although

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.

◆ 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 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.

12. “Clicking” sound might be noticed while operating, especially when the oven is in defrosting

13. When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut off automati-

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

✽ 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 a special cable (I-SHENG SP022, KDK KKP4819D, EUROELECTRIC 3410,SAMIL SP-106B, MOONSUNG EP-48E). Contact your local dealer to have it replaced. The power cable of ISRAEL is PENCON(ZD16A), S/AFRICAAPEX LEADS SA16 and NIGERIA, GHANA, KENYAand U.A.E is PENCON(UD13A1).

✽ 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.

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

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

◆ 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 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

AMSUNG ELECTRONICS

Checking that Your Oven is Operating Correctly

The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is working correctly at all times.

First, place a bowl of water on the turntable.

1 Press the button and set the time to 4-5 minutes by pressing the 1min button
