the oven.
Do not install the oven: near a heater or ammable 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 off by unplugging the power cord.

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 re hazard. The
oven may overheat and turn off automatically and will remain off until it cools
suf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.

Maintenance

A

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, rst 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° (A) as shown. This will help clean the
upper area. When done, reposition the top
heating element.

Replacement (repair)

WARNING

This oven has no user-removable parts inside. Do not try to replace or repair the
oven yourself.

• If you encounter a problem with hinges, sealing, and/or the door, contact a
qualied technician or a local Samsung service centre for technical assistance.

• If you want to replace the light bulb, contact a local Samsung service centre.
Do not replace it yourself.

• If you encounter a problem with the outer housing of the oven, rst unplug the
power cord from the power source, and then contact a local Samsung service
centre.

Care against an extended period of disuse

If you don’t use the oven for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord
and move the oven to a dry, dust-free location. Dust and moisture that builds up
inside the oven may affect the performance of the oven.

Maintenance

CAUTION

• Keep the door and door sealing clean and ensure the door opens and closes
smoothly. Otherwise, the oven’s lifecycle may be shortened.

• Take caution not to spill water into the oven vents.

• Do not use any abrasive or chemical substances for cleaning.

• After each use of the oven, use a mild detergent to clean the cooking chamber
after waiting for the oven to cool down.

Oven use

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

• Reheat

• Cook

Cooking principle.

1. The microwaves generated by the
magnetron reected 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)

CAUTION

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 specied 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. Place a glass of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.

1. Press the Microwave button and set

Cookware guide

To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate
the food, without being reected 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.
