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 three 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, 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

Safety Precautions (continued)
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.
◆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:
•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.
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.
10. Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door.
Reason: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.
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.
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.
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.

Installing Your Microwave oven
Place the oven on a flat, level surface strong that is enough to safely bear the
weight 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.
✽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). Contact your local dealer to have it replaced. The power cable of ISRAEL is
PENCON(ZD16A), S/AFRICAAPEX LEADS SA16 and NIGERIA, GHANA, KENYA and
U.A.E is PENCON(UD13A1).
✽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.
1When 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.
20 cm
above 10 cm
behind
10 cm of
the side
2Remove all packing materials inside the oven.
Install the roller ring and turntable.
Check that the turntable rotates freely.
