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) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-
door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or
allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important
that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the
(1) Door (bent or dented), (2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except
properly qualified service personnel.

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 closed and switch off or disconnect
8.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.

The oven walls may be damaged.
Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times. The water will absorb the

The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the

Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred from
the food to the dish.The dishes are therefore hot.

These walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has finished,

Safety Precautions
To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating.
Reason:
In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.
Cover with a clean, dry dressing.
Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.
9.
Be careful not to damage the power cable.
Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power cable
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug.
10.
Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door. Reason: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.
11.
Keep the inside of the oven clean.
Reason:
During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed; this
means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is removed from the oven. You may scald yourself.
NEVER
fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.
ALWAYS

Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can cause
paint damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
During cooking, you should look into the oven from time to time when food is being heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials.
IMPORTANT
Young children or infirm persons should microwave oven. Nor should they be left unattended near the microwave oven when it is in use. Items of interest to children should not be stored or hidden just above the oven.
WARNING:
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.
WARNING:
It is hazardous for anyone other than a comperent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
WARNING:
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
WARNING:
Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.
NEVER
be allowed to use or play with the

You may notice a “Clicking” sound during operation(especially when the oven is in defrosting).
Reason:
13.
When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut off automatically for safety. You can operate the oven normally after letting it stand for over 30 minutes.
This sound is normal when the electrical power output is changing.

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, 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.

How a Microwave Oven Works

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 container used and the properties of the food:
Quantity and density
Water content
Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

What to Do if You are in Doubt or Have a

Problem
If you have any of the problems listed below try the solutions given.
This is normal.
Condensation inside the oven
Air flow around the door and outer casing
Light reflection around the door and outer casing
Steam escaping from around the door or vents.
The food is not cooked at all
Have you set the time correctly?
Is the door closed?
Have you overloaded the electric circuit and caused a fuse to blow or a breaker to be triggered?
The food is either overcooked or undercooked
Was the appropriate cooking length set for the type of food?
Was an appropriate power level chosen?
Sparking and cracking occur inside the oven (arcing)
Have you used a dish with metal trimmings?
Have you left a fork or other metal utensil inside the oven?
Is aluminium foil too close to the inside walls?
The oven causes interference with radios or televisions
Slight interference may be observed on televisions or radios when the oven is operating. This is normal.To solve this problem, install the oven away from televisions, radios and aerials.
If interference is detected by the oven’s microprocessor, the display may be reset.To solve this problem, disconnect the power plug and reconnect it. Reset the time.
If the above guidelines do not enable you to solve the problem,
contact your local dealer or SAMSUNG after-sales servic.
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
