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.
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.

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 .

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.

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).

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.

Remark: the rice may not have absorbed all water after the cooking
time is finished.
Hint
:
Cut the fresh vegetables into even sized pieces. The smaller they are
cut, the quicker they will cook.
Pasta:
Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of salt and stir
well. Cook uncovered.
Stir occasionally during and after cooking. Cover during standing time
and drain thoroughly afterwards.
All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power (750 W).

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.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with the
safety precautions.

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.)
Standing Instructions

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.

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.
