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.
GB

•
Safety precautions
Suitable accessories and cookware
Useful cooking tips
1. DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:
•
•
•
Metallic containers
Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings
Skewers, forks, etc.
Inside the cover you will find a quick look-up guide explaining four
basic cooking operations:
Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.
•
•
•
•
Cooking food
Auto Power Defrosting food
Grilling food
2. DO NOT heat:
•
Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers
Ex) Baby food jars
Adding extra cooking time
•
Airtight food.
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.
Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes
Reason: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.
Tip: Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.
The step-by-step procedures use four different symbols.
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
Turn
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.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure to
microwave energy.
1. 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.
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.
2. 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.
3. 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:
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
(1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces
(2) Door hinges (broken or loose)
(3) Power cable
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
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.

Safety Precautions(continued)
8. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.
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.
GB
•
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 thecontainer is too hot.
•
•
IMPORTANT
•
•
A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.
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.
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.
WARNING:
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been
repaired by a competent person.
•
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.
WARNING:
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.
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:
NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if
overheated.
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable
to explode.
9. Be careful not to damage the power cable.
WARNING:
•
Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power
cable away from heated surfaces.
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.
•
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 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 the oven normally after letting it
stand for over 30 minutes.

How a Microwave Oven Works
Checking that Your Oven is Operating Correctly
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy
released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing
either the form or the colour.
The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is
working correctly at all times.
Open the oven door by pulling the handle on the right side of the door.
Place a glass of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.

1. Press the
button.
Cooking Principle
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are
distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the
turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.
2. Set the time to 4-5 minutes by turning the dial knob as
requried.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a
depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then

continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.
Result :
The oven heats the water for 4 to 5 minutes.
The water should then be boiling.
3. Cooking times vary according to the recipient used
and the properties of the food:
•
•
•
Quantity and density
Water content
Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
☛
The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The
turntable must be in position in the oven. If a power level other than
the maximum is used, the water takes longer to boil.
☛
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking
continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven.
Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore
be respected to ensure:
•
•
Even cooking of the food right to the centre
The same temperature throughout the food

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.

Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat
and sugar content.
The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid move-

Cookware for microwave cooking:
Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum efficiency.
Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper, but
they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as well as paper and
wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.

Cooking Guide for rice and pasta
Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen veg-
etables, 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 normal-ly be
prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example (see the chapter with tips,
techniques and hints).
Rice :
Use a large glass pyrex bowl with lid - rice doubles in volume during
cook ing. Cook covered. After the cooking time is over, stir before
standing time and salt or add herbs and butter.
Remark: the rice may not have absorbed all water after the cooking
time is finished.
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.
Covering during cooking
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.

REHEATING
GB
Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Add 30-45 ml cold water (2-3 tbsp.) for every
250 g unless another water quantity is recommended - see table. Cook covered for the
minimum time - see table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer. Stir once
during and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after cooking. Cover during a
standing time of 3 minutes.
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.
Hint:
Cut the fresh vegetables into even sized pieces. The smaller they
are cut, the quicker they will cook.
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.
All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power (900 W).

Standing Instructions
Time
Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using 900 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).

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

DEFROSTING
GB
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.
All frozen food should be defrosted using defrosting power level (180 W).
Food
Portion Time Standing Instructions
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.
Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over halfway, 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.
Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to
stand for 20 minutes before continuing.
