GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of grounding can result in risk of electric

shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson if the grounding instruc­tions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appli­ance is properly grounded.

Use of Extension Cords

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.

If a long cord or extension cord is used-

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must be plugged into
a 3-slot outlet.

3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower may vary when
the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.

☛

WARNING:Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the

power cord under any circumstances.

Preferred method of grounding

Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard
AC 120 voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should be the only appliance on this circuit.

Placement of your Microwave Oven

This microwave oven can be placed almost anywhere (kitchen
work surface or shelf, movable cart, table).

1 Install the oven on a flat, level, stable surface. Make sure there is adequate

ventilation for your oven by leaving at least 10cm(four inches) of space
behind and on the sides of the oven and 20cm(eight inches) above.
(For stacking see page 21.)

2 Never block the air vents as the oven may overheat and automatically

switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.

Recommendations

DO NOT install the microwave oven in
hot or damp surroundings.
Example: Next to a traditional oven or

radiator.

3 Remove all packing materials inside the oven.
4 Plug the cable into a 3-pin, grounded socket. If the power cable of this

appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable as supplied
from an authorized Samsung Service Center.

☛ Be sure to remove the protective film from outer case

before use or installation.
The protective film is on the outer case to prevent
scratches.

Outdoor Use
This microwave oven is not designed for outdoor use.

Cooling Fan
Do not unplug the oven during the first minute that the fan is

operating.

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.

7

Cleaning Your Microwave Oven

Recommendations

DO NOT spill water in the vents.

◆ Inside and outside surfaces

◆ Door and door seals

◆ Plate tray

☛ ALWAYS ensure that the door seals are clean and the

door closes properly.

◆ Accumulate

◆ Prevent the door from closing

correctly

Storing and Repairing Your Microwave Oven

1 Clean the outside surfaces with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse

and dry.

2 Remove any splashes or stains on the inside surfaces with a soapy cloth.

Rinse and dry.

3 T o loosen hardened food particles and remove smells, place a cup of diluted

lemon juice on the plate tray and heat for three minutes at maximum power.

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.

Cookware Microwave-Safe Comments

Aluminium foil ✔ ✘ Can be used in small quantities to protect areas against

overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to the
oven wall or if too much foil is used.

Browning plate ✔ Do not preheat for more than three minutes.
China and earthenware ✔ Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are

usually suitable, unless decorated with a metal trim.

Disposable polyester ✔ Some frozen foods are packaged in these dishes.

cardboard dishes

Fast-food packaging

• Polystyrene cups and ✔ Can be used to warm food. Overheating may cause the

Care of Your Microwave Oven

Cleaning the Microwave Oven

1 Unplug the oven from the electrical socket before cleaning.
2 Clean the inside of the oven. Wipe up all spills with a damp cloth. Kitchen

detergent solution may be used if the oven gets too dirty. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasives.

➢ If food particles or spilled liquids stick to the oven walls, or between

door seal and door surface, they will absorb microwaves possibly
resulting in arcing or sparks.

3 Clean the outside of the oven with soap and water, then dry with a soft cloth.

Caution

: Make sure that water does not get into the back ventilation or

control panel opening.

4 When you clean the window of the door, be sure to use a soft cloth after

washing with very mild soap and water. Do not use window cleaner as the
front door can be scratched by harsh soap or cleaners.

Cleaning the Ceiling Cover

Ceiling Cover

Bolt

1 Hold side stoppers of ceiling cover with both hands and pull them in and

down. Then take the ceiling cover out of the oven cavity.
