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:
◆Safety precautions
◆Suitable accessories and cookware
◆Useful cooking tips
Inside the cover you will find a quick look-up guide explaining three basic
cooking operations:
◆Cooking food
◆Defrosting food
◆Adding extra cooking time
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.
The step-by-step procedures use two different symbols.
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:
(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.

Safety Precautions
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.
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
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.
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, although
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
