Using this Instruction Booklet

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

• 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.

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 wipi ng after use first with a damp cloth and then with a soft dry cloth.

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 th em to exp lode .

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 s et the oven going wh en 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 evac ua te d from th e oven.

5. ALWAYS

use oven gloves when rem o ving 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 t o burn even after cooking ha s finished , even though they do not appear to b e s o. Do no t allow inflam mable materials to come into contact with any inte rior ar ea of t he ove n. Le t the oven cool down first.

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 close d and switch off or disconnect the oven from the power supply

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 ca n eq ualize.

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

• Take care when handling the container after heating. You m ay burn you rself if the container is too hot.

• A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.

• To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plast i c spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir befo re, dur ing an d aft er heating.

Reason:

During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delay ed ; th is means that eruptive boiling can start after the con ta iner is remov ed from the oven. You may scald yourself.

Installing Your Microwave Oven

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

❉ 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.

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, on the sides of the oven and 20 cm (8 inches) of above.

Remove all packing materials inside the oven. Install the roller ring and turntable. Check that the turntable rotates freely.

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

How a Microwave Oven W ork

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 Cook

• Auto Cook/Reheat (M1975N)

• Cook

Cooking Principle

☛ 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

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

Press the button

1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.

The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Co oking t hen cont inues as the heat is dissipated within the food.

Cooking times vary accordin g to the recipient used and the properties of the food:

• Quantity and density

• Water content

• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
