CAUTIoN

Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens;

DO NOT use any metallic containers, Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings, Skewers, forks, etc.

Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags.

Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.

When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition;

Do not use your microwave oven to dry papers or clothes.

Use shorter times for smaller amounts of food to prevent overheating and burning food.

If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames;

The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed;

Do not immerse the power cable or power plug in water and keep the power cable away from heat.

Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended; Also do not heat airtight or vacuumsealed bottles, jars, containers, nuts inshells, tomatoes etc.

Do not cover the ventilation slots with cloth or paper. They may catch fire as hot air escapes from the oven. The oven may also overheat and switch itself off automatically, and will remain off until it cools sufficiently.

Always use oven mitts when removing a dish from the oven to avoid unintentional burns.

Do not touch heating elements or interior oven walls until the oven has cooled down.

ME83M_XSA_DE68-04112B_EN.indd 7

Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating ends and allow the liquid stand at least 20 seconds after heating to prevent eruptive boiling.

Stand at arms length from the oven when opening the door to avoid getting scalded by escaping hot air or steam.

Do not operate the microwave oven when it is empty. The microwave oven will automatically shut down for 30 minutes for safety purposes. We recommend placing a glass of water inside the oven at all times to absorb microwave energy in case the microwave oven is started accidentally.

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

Install the oven in compliance with the clearances stated in this manual (see Installing Your Microwave Oven)

Take care when connecting other electrical appliances to sockets near the oven.

• When you first install your microwave oven

• After a power failure

Do not forget to reset the clock when you switch to and from summer and winter time.

1. To display the time in the...

24-hour notation

12-hour notation

Press the Clock button once or twice

2. Set the hour with the h button and the minutes with the min button.

3. This microwave oven has to be positioned so that plug is accessible.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 240 Volt, 50 Hz,

AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable.

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.

3. When the right time is displayed, press the Clock button again to start the clock.

How A mICrowAvE ovEN workS

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour.

You can use your microwave oven to:

• Defrost

• Instant Reheat/Cook

• Cook

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. 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.

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

CHECkING THAT yoUr ovEN IS oPErATING

CorrECTLy

The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is working correctly at all times. Open the oven door by pushing the large button in the bottom right-hand corner of the control panel.

First, place a bowl of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.

1. Press the Power Level button and set the time to 4-5 minutes by pressing the 1min button the appropriate number of times.

2. Press the Start button.

result : The oven heats the water for 4 to 5 minutes. The water should then be boiling.

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.

• Have you used a dish with metal trimmings?

• Have you left a fork or other metal utensil inside the oven?

• Is aluminum foil too close to the inside walls?

The oven causes interference with radios or televisions.

• Slight interference may be observed on televisions or radios when the oven is operating. This is normal. To solve this problem, install the oven away from televisions, radios and aerials.

• If interference is detected by the oven’s microprocessor, the display may be reset. To solve this problem, disconnect the power plug and reconnect it. Reset the time.

If the above guidelines do not enable you to solve the problem, contact your local dealer or SAMSUNG after-sales service.

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.

The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.
