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:  
EN  
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  
Tip  
:
The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.  
Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.

Note  
:
3. DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty.  
Turn  
Reason  
Tip  
:
The oven walls may be damaged.  
:
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.  
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO  
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY  
4. DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper.  
Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure to  
microwave energy.  
Reason  
:
The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the  
oven.  
(a) Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to operate the oven with  
5. ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven.  
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:  
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.  
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  
(1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces  
(2) Door hinges (broken or loose)  
(3) Power cable  
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.  
(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.  
In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:

Safety Precautions (continued)  
Installing Your Microwave oven  
Place the oven on a flat, level surface that strong that is enough to  
safely bear the weight of the oven.  
*
*
*
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.  
EN  
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.  
20cm  
10cm  
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.  
above  
behind  
10cm  
of the side  
2. Remove all packing materials inside the oven.  
Install the roller ring and turntable.  
9. Be careful not to damage the power cable.  
Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power cable  
away from heated surfaces.  
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug.  
Check that the turntable rotates freely.  
10. Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door.  
3. This microwave oven has to be positioned so that plug is

accessible.  
11. Keep the inside of the oven clean.  
Reason  
:
Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can cause  
paint damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven.  
Never block the air vents as the oven may overheat and  
automatically switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has  
cooled sufficiently.  
12. You may notice a “Clicking” sound during operation(especially when the oven is  
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  
automati-cally 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 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.

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  
EN  
Plates, cups,  
napkins and  
Kitchen paper  
Recycled paper
