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:  
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO  
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY  
GB  
Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful  
exposure to microwave energy.  
Safety precautions  
Suitable accessories and cookware  
Useful cooking tips  
(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 wiping after use with first a damp cloth  
and then a final wipe with a soft dry cloth.  
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been repaired by a  
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.  
It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is  
no damage to the:  
Inside the cover you will find a quick look-up guide explaining three  
basic cooking operations:  
Cooking a dish (microwave)  
Defrosting a dish  
Adding an extra minute, if the dish is inadequately cooked or  
requires additional reheating  
(1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces  
(2) Door hinges (broken or loose)  
(3) Power cable  
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly  
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.  
At the end 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 illustrations in the step-by-step procedures use two different  
symbols.

Safety Precautions  
9. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.  
Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check  
that the following safety precautions are taken.  
GB  
ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has  
been switched off to allow the temperature to equalize.  
Stir during heating if necessary and ALWAYS stir after heating.  
To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should stir before,  
during, and after heating.  
1. Please don’t mind if the oven works continuously after the cooking is over.  
Reason: This oven is designed to work without microwaving and grilling for  
3 min to cool internal electric parts after the cooking is over.  
In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions :  
*
*
*
Immerse hand in cold water for at least 10 minutes.  
Cover with clean, dry dressing.  
Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.  
2. DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:  
Metallic containers  
Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings  
Skewers, forks, etc.  
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 check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to  
the baby.  
NEVER heat a baby's bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if  
overheated.  
During microwave heating of beverages, there are results in delayed  
eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the  
container.  
Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.  
3. 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 them to explode.  
Tip: Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.  
4. 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 set the oven going when  
it is empty.  
10. Be careful not to damage the power cable.  
Do not immerse power cable or plug in water and keep power cable away  
from heated surfaces.  
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug.  
5. DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper.  
Reason: The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the  
oven.  
11. Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door.  
Reason: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.  
6. ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing 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.  
12. Keep the inside of the oven clean.  
Clean the inside of the oven right after each use with a mild detergent  
solution, but let the microwave oven cool down before cleaning in order to  
avoid injury.  
7. DO NOT touch heating elements or interior oven walls.  
Reason: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can  
cause the damage of painting and reduce the efficiency of the oven.  
Reason: These walls may be hot enough to burn skin even after cooking is  
finished, oven though they do not appear to be so. Keep away from  
hot spot. Do not allow inflammable materials to come into contact  
with any interior area of the oven. Let the oven cool down first.  
13. “Clicking” sound might be noticed while operating, especially in defrosting  
mode.  
Reason: When the power output is changing electrically, you may hear that  
sound. This is normal.  
8. 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 closed and switch off or  
disconnect the oven from the power supply.

Choosing the Accessories  
Preheating the Oven  
Traditional convection cooking does not require any  
special cookware. You should, however, use only  
cookware that you would use in your normal oven.  
For convection cooking, it is recommended that you preheat the oven  
to the appropriate temperature before placing the food in the oven.  
GB  
When the oven reaches the requested temperature, it is maintained for  
approximately 10 minutes; it is then switched off automatically.  
Microwave-safe recipients are not usually suitable for  
convection cooking; don’t use plastic containers,  
dishes, paper cups, towels, etc.  
Check that the heating element is in the correct position for the type of  
cooking that you require. Open the door and place the turntable.  
If you wish to select a combined cooking mode  
(microwave and grill or convection), use only  
recipients that are microwave-safe and oven-proof.

Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum  
efficiency. Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium  
and copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic  
as well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.

Food suitable for microwave cooking:  
Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen  
vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard,  
soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a  
microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food  
that would normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for  
example (see the chapter with tips, techniques and hints).  
Cooking Guide for rice and pasta  
Rice:  
Use a large glass pyrex bowl with lid – rice doubles in volume  
during cooking. Cook covered.  
After the cooking time is over, stir before standing time and salt or  
add herbs and butter.  
Remark: the rice may not have absorbed all water after the cooking  
time is finished.  
Covering during cooking  
Pasta:  
Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of salt and  
stir well. Cook uncovered.  
Stir occasionally during and after cooking. Cover during standing  
time and drain thoroughly afterwards.  
To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises  
as steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different  
ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.

REHEATING  
GB  
Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Add 30-45 ml cold water (2-3 tbsp.) for  
every 250 g unless another water quantity is recommended – see table. Cook  
covered for the minimum time – see table. Continue cooking to get the result you  
prefer. Stir once during and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after  
cooking. Cover during a standing time of 3 minutes.  
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional  
ovens and hobs normally take.  
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The  
times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20°C  
or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7°C.  
Hint:  
Cut the fresh vegetables into even sized pieces. The smaller they  
are cut, the quicker they will cook.  
Arranging and covering  
Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry  
out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more  
successful.  
All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power (900W).

Instructions  
Power levels and stirring  
Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be reheated  
using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.  
Check the tables for guidance.  
In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower power level, if the food is  
delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up very quickly (mince pies, for  
example).  
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir  
again before serving.  
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive  
boiling of liquids and possible scalding, stir before, during and after heating. Keep  
them in the microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a  
plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore  
spoiling) the food. It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra  
heating time, if necessary.

Heating and standing times  
When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time  
taken - for future reference.  
Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.  
Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even  
out. The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless  
another time is recommended in the chart.  
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter  
with the safety precautions.

switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if  
necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and  
possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and

DEFROSTING  
GB  
Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently  
defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if  
unexpected guests suddenly show up.  
All frozen food should be defrosted using defrosting power level (180 W).

Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, drain off any  
liquid and remove any giblets as soon as possible. Check the food occasionally to  
make sure that it does not feel warm.  
If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield  
by wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting.

Cooking Guide  
Grill guide for frozen food  
GRILL  
GB  
The grill-heating element is located underneath the ceiling of the cavity. It  
operates while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The turntable’s  
rotation makes the food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 4 minutes will  
make the food brown more quickly.  
Preheat the grill with the grill function for 3 minutes, unless indicated  
differently.  
Use the power levels and times in this table as guide lines for grilling.

Cookware for cooking with microwaves + grill  
Please use cookware that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should be  
flameproof. Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not use any  
type of plastic cookware, as it can melt.  
Food suitable for microwaves + grill cooking:  
Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked food  
which need reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as foods which  
require a short cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also, this mode can be  
used for thick food portions that benefit from a browned and crispy top (e.g.  
chicken pieces, turning them over half way through cooking). Please refer to the  
grill table for further details.  
IMPORTANT REMARK:  
Whenever the combination mode (microwave + grill) is used, make sure that the  
grill heating element is under the ceiling in the horizontal position and not on the  
back-wall in the vertical position. The food should be placed on the high rack,  
unless another instruction is recommended. Otherwise it has to be placed directly  
on the turntable. Please refer to the instructions in the following chart.  
The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides.
