INSTALLING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

Place the oven on a flat level surface 85cm above the floor. The surface
should be strong enough to safety bear the weight of the oven.

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.

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.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or
assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.
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.

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

Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock. When power is supplied, “:0”,
“88:88” or “12:00” is automatically displayed on the display.
Please set the current time. The time can be displayed in either the 24-hour
or 12-hour notation. You must set the clock:

ENGLISH

HOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy
released enables food to be cooked or reheated without the foods form
or colour changing.

You can use your microwave oven to:

• Defrost (manual & auto)

• Cook

• Reheat

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

CHECKING THAT YOUR OVEN IS OPERATING CORRECTLY

The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is
working correctly at all times.
Open the oven door by pulling the handle on the right side of the door.
Place a glass of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.

1. Set the power level to maximum by turning
COOKING POWER CONTROL knob.

2. Set the time 4 to 5 minutes by turning the TIME/
WEIGHT ( ) dial.

Result: The oven light comes on and the

turntable starts rotating.

1) Cooking starts and when it has finished the oven beeps
four times.

2) The end reminder signal will beep 3 times(once every
minute).

3) The current time is displayed again.

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 is used, the water takes longer to boil.

USING THE CRUSTY PLATE (GE82NT)

Your Samsung microwave oven features a crusty plate as an additional
accessory.
This crusty plate allows you to brown food not only on the top with the grill,
but also the bottom of the food turns crispy and brown due to the high
temperature of the crusty plate.
Several items which you can prepare on the crusty plate can be found in
the chart.
The crusty plate can also be used for bacon, eggs, sausages, etc.

1. Place the crusty plate directly on the turntable

and preheat it with the highest Microwave-Grill
Combination[600W+Grill ( )] setting by following
the times and instructions in the chart.

Always use oven gloves to take out the crusty plate, as will become
very hot.

2. Brush the plate with oil if you are cooking food, such as bacon and

eggs, in order to brown the food nicely.

Please note that the crusty plate has a teflon layer which is not scratch­resistant. Do not use any sharp objects like a knife to cut on the crusty
plate.

Use plastic accessories to avoid scratches on the surface of the crusty
plate or remove the food from the plate before cutting.

3. Place the food on the crusty plate.

Do not place any objects on the crusty plate that
are not heat-resistant; e.g. plastic bowels.

Never place the crusty plate in the oven without the turntable.

4. Place the crusty plate on the metal rack(or turntable)

in the microwave.

5. Select the appropriate cooking time and power.

Refer to the table on the next page .

COOKING GUIDE

MICROWAVES

Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its
water, fat and sugar content.
The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid
movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks
the food.

COOKING

Cookware for microwave cooking:

Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum
efficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel,
aluminium and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass,
porcelain and plastic as well as paper and wood. So food must never be
cooked in metal containers.

Food suitable for microwave cooking:

Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or
frozen vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces,
custard, soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be
cooked in a microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is
ideal for any food that would normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter
or chocolate, for example (see the chapter with tips, techniques and hints).

Covering during cooking

To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water
rises as steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered
in different ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave
suitable cling film.

Standing times

After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the
temperature to even out within the food.

Cooking guide for frozen vegetables

Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum
time - see table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer.
Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter
after cooking. Cover during standing time.

REHEATING

Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that
conventional ovens hobs normally take.
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide.
The times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about
+18 to +20 °C or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7 °C.

Arranging and covering

Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook
and dry out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be
more successful.

Power levels and stirring

Some foods can be reheated using 850 W power while others should be
reheated using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.
Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a
lower power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to
heat up very quickly (mince pies, for example).
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible,
stir again before serving.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent
eruptive boiling of liquids and possible scalding , stir before, during and
after heating. Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We
recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid
overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food.
It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if
necessary.

Heating and standing times

When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time
taken - for future reference.
Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.
Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature
even out.
The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless
another time is recommended in the chart.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the
chapter with the safety precautions.

24

ENGLISH

REHEATING LIQUIDS

Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been
switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if
necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and
possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages
and stir before, during and after heating.

REHEATING BABY FOOD

BABY FOOD: Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir
well after reheating! Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again
and check the temperature. Recommended serving temperature: between
30-40 °C.

BABY MILK: Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered.
Never heat a baby’s bottle with teat on, as the bottle may explode if
overheated. Shake well before standing time and again before serving !
Always carefully check the temperature of baby milk or food before giving it
to the baby. Recommended serving temperature: ca. 37 °C.

REMARK: Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before
serving to prevent burns.
Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for
reheating.

MANUAL DEFROSTING

Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves
gently defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great
advantage, if unexpected guests suddenly show up.

Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any
metal ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain
away.

Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, drain off any
liquid and remove any giblets as soon as possible.

Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm.

If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be
shield by wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during
defrosting.

Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and
allow it to stand for 20 minutes before continuing.

Leave the fish, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting.
The standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the
quantity defrosted. Please refer to the table below.

Hint : Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities

need less time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while
freezing and defrosting food.

GRILL

The grill-heating element is located underneath the ceiling of the cavity.
It operates while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The
turntable’s rotation makes the food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill
for 4 minutes will make the food brown more quickly.

Cookware for grilling:

Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic
cookware, as it can melt.

Food suitable for grilling:

Chops, sausages, steaks, hamburgers, bacon and gammon rashers, thin
fish portions, sandwiches and all kinds of toast with toppings.

Important remark:

Whenever the grill only mode is used, make sure that the grill-heating
element is under the ceiling in the horizontal position and not on the back­wall in the vertical position. Please remember that food must be placed on
the high rack, unless another instruction is recommended.

MICROWAVE + GRILL

This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill
with the speed of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is
closed and the turntable is rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the
food browns evenly.
Three combination modes are available with this model:
600 W + Grill, 450 W + Grill and 300 W + Grill.

Cookware for cooking with microwave + grill

Please use cookware that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should
be flameproof. Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not
use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt.

Food suitable for microwave + grill cooking:

Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked
food which need reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as
foods which require a short cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also,
this mode can be used for thick food portions that benefit from a browned
and crispy top (e.g. chicken pieces, turning them over half way through
cooking). Please refer to the grill table for further details.

Important remark:

Whenever the combination mode (microwave + grill) is used, make sure that
the grill heating element is under the ceiling in the horizontal position and
not on the back-wall in the vertical position. The food should be placed on
the high rack, unless another instruction is recommended. Otherwise it has
to be placed directly on the turntable. Please refer to the instructions in the
following chart.
The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides.

INSTALLATION & WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTE :

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug
incorporating a fuse.
The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug and, if it
requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1363 of the same rating must be
used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If
a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the
pin face of the plug.
Replacement covers are available from your Dealer. If the fitted plug is not
suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough
to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved
extension lead or consult your Dealer for assistance. However, if there is no
alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose
of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains socket, as there is a risk of
shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.

31

ENGLISH

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
earthing reduces the risk of electric shock providing an escape wire for the
electric current. The appliance is equipped with a mains lead which includes
an earth wire for connecting to the earth terminal of your mains plug. The
plug must be plugged into a socket that is properly installed and earthed.

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:

•Greenandyellow:Earth

•Blue:Neutral

•Brown:Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings indentifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows.

Connect the green and yellow wire to the terminal in the plug marked with
the letter E or the earth symbol ( ) or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured
black.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if in doubt about any
of these instructions.

The manufacturer of this oven will not accept any liability for damage to
persons or material for non observance of these requirements.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside the oven and if the mains
lead of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by qualified
service personnel approved by the manufacturer because special tools
are required.

WARNING : Ensure that the plug and
power cord are not damaged before
use. If you have any reason to remove
the moulded plug from this appliance,
immediately remove the fuse and dispose
of the plug.
Do not connect the plug to a mains socket
under any circumstances as there is a
danger of electric shock.

CIRCUITS : Your microwave oven should
be operated on a separate circuit from
other appliances. Failure to do this may
cause the circuit breaker to trip, the fuse
to blow, or the food to cook more slowly.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS ON FOOD PACKAGING

Microwave Symbols

On the front of your oven there is a microwave oven symbol, as shown
below.
This symbol has been introduced for your benefit when cooking or
reheating packaged food.

Packaged food is also, increasingly, using a microwave symbol similar to
the one below. When you see this

Symbol on food packaging, the cooking instructions are based on either the
IEC Power Output Rating, or the Reheating Categories A, B, C, D or E.

WARNING

WARNING

32

ENGLISH

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

The IEC Power Output rating is an internationally standardised rating, so all
microwave manufacturers now use the same method of measuring power
output.
If food packaging gives cooking instructions based on IEC Power ratings,
set cooking times according to the IEC Power of your oven.

For example :

If the cooking instructions are based on a 650 W oven, then you will need
to reduce some cooking time for the GE82N / GE82NT (850 W)
Ready meals are now very convenient and popular. These are meals which
are already prepared and cooked by the food manufacturer, and then
frozen, chilled or vacuum sealed for long life.
Increasingly, heating times for such ready meals are being based on the
Heating Categories A, B, C, D and E.
On this instance, simply match the heating category of your oven to the
instructions on the food package, and set your timer accordingly.

For example :

If the heating instructions are 3 minutes on HIGH for a D category oven,
then you will need to set your timer for less than 3 minutes on HIGH for the
GE82N / GE82NT (E category).

Always remember that cooking instructions are intended only as a
guide. If you have followed the instructions and the food is still not
piping hot throughout, simply return it to the oven and cook it until it is.
