Safety Precautions
You have just purchased a SAMSUNG microwave oven. Your Owner’s
Instructions contain much valuable information on cooking with your
microwave oven:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check
that the following safety precautions are taken.
1. DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:

•
Metallic containers
Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings
Skewers, forks, etc.
Inside the cover you will find a quick look-up guide explaining four
basic cooking operations:
Reason
:
Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.
2. DO NOT heat:

•
Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers
Ex) Baby food jars
Airtight food.
Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes
Adding extra cooking time
Reason: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.
Tip:
Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.
At the front 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.
3. 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
The step-by-step procedures use three different symbols.
going when it is empty
.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. DO NOT touch heating elements or interior oven walls.
Reason: These walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has
finished, even though they do not appear to be so. Do not allow
inflammable materials to come into contact with any interior area of the
oven. Let the oven cool down first.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure to
microwave energy.
1. 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.
2. 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 first with a damp cloth and then
with a soft dry cloth.
3. 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:
(1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces
7. 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
8. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.
•
ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been
switched off so that the temperature can equalize.
Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.
Take care when handling the container after heating. You may burn yourself if
the container is too hot.
•
•
(2) Door hinges (broken or loose)
(3) Power cable
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly

qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.
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
:
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.
4
Safety Precautions(continued)
Installing Your Microwave Oven
Place the oven on a flat, level surface that strong enough to safely bear
the weight of the oven.
•
In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
GB
*
*
*
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.
•
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.

11. Keep the inside of the oven clean.
3. This microwave oven has to be positioned so that plug is
accessible.
Reason: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can cause
paint damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven.
12. You may notice a “Clicking” sound during operation(especially when the oven is in
defrosting).
Reason: This sound is normal when the electrical power output is changing.
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.
☛
Never block the air vents as the oven may overheat and
automatically switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has
cooled sufficiently.
☛
☛
For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 230 Volt,
50Hz, AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
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
Do not install the microwave oven in hot or damp surroundings
like next 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.
Young children should NEVER be allowed to use or play with the 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 supervicion 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.

Using the Manual Crusty Cook Function
This crusty plate allows you to brown food not only on the top with the
grill, but also the bottom of the food turns crispy and brown due to the
high temperature of the crusty plate. Several items which you can
prepare on the crusty plate can be found in the chart (see next page).
GB
The following table presents the various Auto Programmes of the
Crisp function, quantities, standing times and appropriate
recommendations. These Programmes are running with a
combination of microwaves and grill.
The crusty plate can also be used for bacon, eggs, sausages, etc.
Before using the Crisp function, we recommend to preheat the crust
plate on the turntable for 3 to 5 minutes, using a combination of 600W
and grill. Use oven gloves while taking out!
1. Place the crusty plate directly on the turntable and preheat
it with highest Microwave-Grill-Combination

Cookware Guide
To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to
penetrate the food, without being reflected 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.

Cooking Guide
MICROWAVES
GB
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat
and sugar content.
All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power (900 W).
The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid move-
ment of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food.

250g
500g
3½-4

Prepare even sized florets. Arrange
the stems to the centre.
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.

Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen veg-
etables, 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 normal-ly be
prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example (see the chapter with tips,
techniques and hints).

Covering during cooking
Cook until just tender.
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. Cook covered for the minimum time - see
table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer. Stir twice during cooking and once
after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after cooking. Cover during standing time.
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens
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.
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.
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.

Vegetables
(Chinese style)
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.
Cooking Guide for rice and pasta

Toast/
Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties and
take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.
Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over halfway, 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.
Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to
stand for 20 minutes before continuing.

Leave the fish, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting. The standing
time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer
to the table below.
Hint:
Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less
time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and
defrosting food.
For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to - 20 °C, use the fol-
lowing table as a guide.
