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:  
GB  
Safety precautions  
Suitable accessories and cookware  
Useful cooking tips  
Metallic containers  
Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings  
Skewers, forks, 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.  
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  
The step-by-step procedures use three different symbols.  
Reason: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.  
Tip: Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.  
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  
going when it is empty.  
Important  
Note  
Caution  
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.  
(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 first with a damp cloth  
and then 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:  
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.  
(1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces  
(2) Door hinges (broken or loose)  
(3) Power cable  
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.  
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly  
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.  
A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.  
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.

Safety Precautions(continued)  
Installing Your Microwave oven  
In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:  
Place the oven on a flat, level surface that strong enough to safely bear  
the weight 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 normally after letting it stand for over 30  
minutes.  
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 a special cable (I-SHENG  
SP022, KDK KKP4819D, EUROELECTRIC 3410, SAMIL SP-  
106B, MOONSUNG EP-48E, HIGH PROJECT H.P 3). Contact  
your local dealer to have it replaced. The power cable of ISRAEL  
is PENCON(ZD16A), S/AFRICA APEX LEADS SA16 and  
NIGERIA, GHANA, KENYA and U.A.E is PENCON(UD13A1).  
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 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.  
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.  
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.

Choosing the Accessories  
Combining Microwaves and the Grill  
Use microwave-safe recipients; do not use plastic containers, dishes,  
paper cups, towels, etc.  
You can also combine microwave cooking with the grill, to cook  
quickly and brown at the same time.  
GB  
ALWAYS use microwave-safe and oven-proof cookware. Glass or  
ceramic dishes are ideal as they allow the microwaves to  
penetrate the food evenly.  
If you wish to select the combined cooking mode (grill and  
microwave), use only dishes that are microwave-safe and  
oven-proof. Metallic cookware or utensils may damage  
your oven.  
ALWAYS use oven gloves when touching the recipients in the  
oven, as they will be very hot.  
For further details on suitable cookware and utensils, refer to the  
Cookware Guide on page 8 .  
1. Open the oven door by pushing the large button in the  
bottom right-hand corner of the control panel. Place the  
food on the rack and the rack on the turntable. Close the  
door.

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.  
Paper

MICROWAVES  
GB  
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat  
and sugar content.  
Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time - see  
table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer.  
The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement  
of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food.  
Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after  
cooking. Cover during standing time.

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).

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.  
Standing times  
After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature to  
even out within the food.

REHEATING  
REHEATING LIQUIDS  
GB  
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.  
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been 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 stir before, during and after heating.  
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.  
REHEATING BABY FOOD  
BABY FOOD: Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after  
reheating! Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the  
temperature. Recommended serving temperature: between 30-40°C.  
Power levels and stirring  
Some foods can be reheated using 750 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).  
BABY MILK: Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a  
baby's bottle with teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before  
standing time and again before serving ! Always carefully check the temperature of  
baby milk or food before giving it to the baby. Recommended serving temperature: ca.  
37°C.  
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir again  
before serving.  
REMARK:  
Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns.  
Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for reheating.  
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.

DEFROSTING  
GB  
All frozen food should be defrosted using defrosting power level (180 W,  
).  
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.  
Food  
Portion Time  
(min.)

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.

time!  
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.  
7-8  
Pork  
steaks  
Poultry  
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.

Grill Guide  
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 heater with the grill-function when grilling fresh and frozen food.  
Use the power levels and times in this table as guide lines for grilling.

MICROWAVE + GRILL  
This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill with the  
speed of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is closed and the turntable  
is rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the food browns evenly. Three  
combination modes are available with this model:

Food suitable for microwave + 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.
