Using this Instruction Booklet  
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 three  
basic cooking operations:  
Cooking food  
Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.  
Defrosting food  
Adding extra cooking time  
2. DO NOT heat:  
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.  
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 two 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.  
Important  
Note  
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.  
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO  
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY  
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.  
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:  
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  
(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  
(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 (continued)  
8. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
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 the container is too hot.  
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.  
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 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.

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.  
GB  
You can use your microwave oven to:  
First, place a bowl of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.  
Defrost  
Instant Reheat  
Cook  
1. Press the  
button and set the time to 4-5 minutes by  
pressing the 1min button the appropriate number of  
times.  
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. Press  
Result :  
button.  
The oven heats the water for 4 to 5 minutes.  
The water should then be boiling.  
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.  
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.  
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)  
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.  
Paper

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.

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.

Foods 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).

Covering during cooking  
Vegetables  
(Chinese

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.  
Standing times  
After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature  
to even out within the food.

Rice:  
Use a large glass pyrex bowl with lid - rice doubles in volume during  
cooking. 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.  
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.  
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 (800 W).

REHEATING  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
REMARK:  
Power levels and stirring  
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.  
Some foods can be reheated using 800 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).  
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir  
again before serving.  
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.  
REHEATING LIQUIDS  
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.

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
