14. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. (including the back of the oven).
15. Do not let the cord hang over edge of table or counter.
16. When cleaning surfaces of the door and oven that come together when the door closes,
use only mild, nonabrasive soaps, or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
Unplug the plug before cleaning.
17. To reduce the risk of re in the oven cavity:
1) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the appliance when paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
2) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing the bags in the
oven.
3) If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off, and
disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
If the door is opened, the re may spread.
4) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
18. Liquids, such as water, milk, coffee, or tea can be overheated beyond the boiling point
without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY
HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A
SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury:
1) Do not overheat liquid.
2) Stir liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

20. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. A piece of metal could come off the pad, contact
electrical parts, and cause an electric shock.
21. Do not put paper products into the oven when you are operating it in the toaster mode.
22. Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in this
oven when not in use.
23. Do not cover the racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause the
oven to overheat.

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 electrical current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord that includes a grounding wire and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Important safety instructions
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 pronged outlet. Do not remove the third
(grounding) prong. Do not use an adaptor or otherwise defeat the grounding plug.
• Consult a qualied electrician or service person if you do not understand the grounding
instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.
• We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance. If the power-supply
cord is too short, have a qualied electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the
appliance. However, if it is necessary to use an extension cord, read and follow the “Use
of Extension Cords” section on the next page.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of your becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and you can
use them if you exercise care. If you use a long cord or extension cord:
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 accidentally. If you use an
extension cord, the interior light may icker and the speed of the blower may vary when
the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer too.

CRITICAL USAGE WARNINGS
If the microwave appliance is ooded, please contact your nearest Samsung service
center. Failing to do so may result in electric shock or re.
Read and follow the specic “Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive
Microwave Energy”, found in the beginning of this Safety Information section.
If the microwave generates a strange noise, a burning smell or smoke, unplug it
immediately and contact your nearest service center.
• Failing to do so may result in electric shock or re.
In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.), ventilate the room immediately.
Do not touch the microwave, power cord, or plug.
• Do not use a ventilating fan.
• A spark may result in an explosion or re.
Take care that the door or any of the other parts do not come into contact with your
body while cooking or just after cooking.
• Failing to do so may result in burns.
In the event of a grease re on the surface units below the oven, smother the aming
pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet, or
a at tray.
Never leave surface units beneath your oven unattended at high heat settings. Boil
overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the vent fan
is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and
use high heat on surface units only when necessary.
If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven
off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker
panel. If the door is opened, the re may spread.
• Always observe Safety Precautions when using your oven. Never try to repair
the oven on your own. There is dangerous voltage inside. If the oven needs to be
repaired, contact an authorized Samsung service center near you.
Important safety instructions
Do not attempt to repair, disassemble, or modify the appliance yourself.
• Because a high voltage current enters the product chassis during operation,
opening the chassis can result in electric shock or re.
• You may be exposed to electromagnetic waves.
• When the oven requires repair, contact your nearest Samsung service center.
If any foreign substance such as water enters the microwave, unplug it and contact
your nearest Samsung service center.
• Failing to do so may result in electric shock or re.

About microwave energy
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The magnetron built into the oven
generates microwaves which cook or reheat food without deforming or discolouring it.
1. The microwaves generated by the
magnetron are distributed uniformly
by the microwave's distribution system.
This is why the food cooks evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by
the food to a depth of approx. 1 inch
(2.5 cm). Then, the microwaves dissipate
inside the food as cooking continues.
3. The cooking time is affected by the
following conditions of the food:
• Quantity and density
• Moisture content
• Initial temperature (especially, when
frozen)
NOTE
The cooked food retains heat in its core
after cooking is complete. This is why you
must observe the standing times specied
in this manual, which ensures food cooks
evenly down to the core.

Cookware used for Microwave Mode must allow microwaves to pass through and penetrate
food. Metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and copper reect microwaves. Therefore, do
not use cookware made of metallic materials. Cookware marked microwave - safe is always
safe for use. For additional information on appropriate cookware, refer to the following guide.
