General safety
Any modifications or repairs must be performed by qualified personnel only. Do not heat food or liquids sealed in containers for the microwave function. Do not use benzene, thinner, alcohol, or steam or high-pressure cleaners to clean the oven. Do not install the oven: near a heater or flammable material; locations that are humid, oily, dusty or exposed to direct sunlight or water; or where gas may leak; or an uneven surface. This oven must be properly grounded in accordance with local and national codes. Regularly use a dry cloth to remove foreign substances from the power plug terminals and contacts. Do not pull, excessively bend, or place heavy objects on the power cord. If there is a gas leak (propane, LP, etc) ventilate immediately. Do not touch the power cord. Do not touch the power cord with wet hands. While the oven is operating, do not turn it o by unplugging the power cord. Do not insert fingers or foreign substances. If foreign substances enter the oven, unplug the power cord and contact a local Samsung service centre. Do not apply excessive pressure or impact to the oven. Do not place the oven over fragile objects. Ensure the power voltage, frequency, and current matches the product specifications. Firmly plug the power plug into the wall socket. Do not use multiple plug adapters, extension cords, or electric transformers. Do not hook the power cord on metal objects. Make sure the cord is between objects or behind the oven. Do not use a damaged power plug, power cord, or loose wall socket. For damaged power plugs or cords, contact a local Samsung service centre. Do not pour or directly spray water onto the oven. Do not place objects on the oven, inside, or on the oven door. Do not spray volatile materials such as insecticide on the oven. Do not store flammable materials in the oven. Because alcohol vapours can contact hot parts of the oven, use caution when heating food or drinks containing alcohol.
English - 6
Children may bump themselves or catch their fingers on the door. When opening/closing the door, keep children away.
Microwave warning
Microwave heating of beverages may result in delayed eruptive boiling; always use caution when handling the container. Always allow beverages to stand at least 20 seconds before handling. If necessary, stir during heating. Always stir after heating. In the event of scalding, follow these First Aid instructions:
1. Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.
2. Cover with a clean, dry dressing.
3. Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.
To avoid damaging the tray or rack, do not put the tray or rack in water shortly after cooking. Do not use the oven for deep fat frying because the oil temperature cannot be controlled. This could result in a sudden boil over of hot oils.
Microwave oven precautions
Only use microwave-safe utensils. Do not use metallic containers, gold or silver trimmed dinnerware, skewers, etc. Remove wire twist ties. Electric arcing may occur. Do not use the oven to dry papers or clothes. Use shorter times for small amounts of food to prevent overheating or burning. Keep the power cord and power plug away from water and heat sources. To avoid the risk of explosion, do not heat eggs with shells or hard-boiled eggs. Do not heat airtight or vacuum-sealed containers, nuts, tomatoes, etc. Do not cover the ventilation slots with cloth or paper. This is a fire hazard. The oven may overheat and turn o automatically and will remain o until it cools suciently. Always use oven mitts when removing a dish. Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating ends and allow the liquid stand at least 20 seconds after heating to prevent eruptive boiling.
Stand at arms length from the oven when opening the door to avoid getting scalded by escaping hot air or steam. Do not operate the oven when it is empty. The oven will automatically shut down for 30 minutes for safety purposes. We recommend placing a glass of water inside the oven at all times to absorb microwave energy in case the oven is started accidentally. Install the oven in compliance with the clearances in this manual. (See Installing your microwave oven.) Use caution when connecting other electrical appliances to sockets near the oven.
Microwave operation precautions
Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure to microwave energy.
• Do not operate the oven with the door open. Do not tamper with the
safety interlocks (door latches). Do not insert anything into the safety interlock holes.
• Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or allow
food or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Keep the door and door sealing surfaces clean by wiping with a damp cloth and then with a soft, dry cloth after each use.
• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. Only operate after it has been
repaired by a qualified technician. Important: the oven door must close properly. The door must not be bent; the door hinges must not be broken or loose; the door seals and sealing surfaces must not be damaged.
• All adjustments or repairs must be done by a qualified technician.
Limited warranty

• Door, handles, out-panel, or control panel that are dented, scratched, or broken.
• A broken or missing tray, guide roller, coupler, or wire rack.
Use this oven only for its intended purpose as described in this instruction manual. Warnings and Important Safety Instructions in this manual do not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It is your responsibility to use common sense, caution, and care when installing, maintaining, and operating your oven. Because these following operating instructions cover various models, the characteristics of your microwave oven may dier slightly from those described in this manual and not all warning signs may be applicable.

CLEANING

Clean the oven regularly to prevent impurities from building up on or inside the oven. Also pay special attention to the door, door sealing, and turntable and roller ring (applicable models only). If the door won’t open or close smoothly, first check if the door seals have built up impurities. Use a soft cloth in soapy water to clean both the inner and outer sides of the oven. Rinse and dry well.
To remove stubborn impurities with bad smells from inside the oven
1. With an empty oven, put a cup of diluted lemon juice on the centre of the turntable.
2. Heat the oven for 10 minutes at max power.
3. When the cycle is complete, wait until the oven cools down. Then, open
the door and clean the cooking chamber.
To clean inside swing-heater models
To clean the upper area of the cooking chamber, lower the top heating element by 45° as shown. This will help clean the upper area. When done, reposition the top heating element.

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.
03 OVEN FEATURES / OVEN USE
You can use your microwave oven to:
• Defrost
• Reheat
• Cook
Cooking principle.
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron reflected at cavity and 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 container 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
English - 11

CHECKING THAT YOUR OVEN IS OPERATING CORRECTLY

The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is working correctly at all times. If you are in doubt, refer to the section entitled “troubleshooting” on the page 39.
