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.  
GB  
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.  
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.  
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:  
The step-by-step procedures use three different symbols.  
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.

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.  
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.  
(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  
7. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:  
Do not store flammable materials in the oven  
(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.  
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.  
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.

Safety Precautions  
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.  
A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.  
GB  
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.  
20cm  
10cm  
behind  
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.  
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.  
above  
10cm  
of the side  
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.  
2. Remove all packing materials inside the oven.  
Install the roller ring and turntable.  
Check that the turntable rotates freely.  
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.  
3. This microwave oven has to be positioned so that plug is  
accessible.  
NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if  
overheated.  
Never block the air vents as the oven may overheat and  
automatically switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has  
cooled sufficiently.  
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.  
For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 240 Volt,  
50Hz, AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is  
damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable. Contact your  
local dealer to have it replaced.  
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.  
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.  
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 or infirm persons 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.
