GB CE2727N-gbUK.fm Page 4 Tuesday, March 27, 2001 8:02 PM GB Using this Instruction Booklet Safety Precauciones You have just purchased a SAMSUNG microwave oven. Your Owner’s Instructions contain much valuable information on cooking with your microwa ve oven: • Safety precautions • Suitable accessories and cookware • Useful cooking tips Inside the cover you will find a quick look-up guide explaining four basic cooking operations: • Cooking food • Defrosting food • Grilling food • Adding extra cooking time 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. The step-by-step procedures use four different symbols. 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. ☛ ✉ ✽ Important Note Caution 1. DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven: • Metallic containers • Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings • Skewers, forks, etc. 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 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. 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. 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. Turn 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: (1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces (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. 4 CE2727N-gbUK.fm Page 5 Tuesday, March 27, 2001 8:02 PM Safety Precautions (continued) Installing Your Microwave Oven 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. • 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 the oven normally after letting it stand for over 30 minutes. Place the oven on a flat, level surface that is strong enough to safely bear the weight of the oven. 20cm above 85cm of the floor 10cm behind 10cm on the side 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 the oven and 85 cm (33 inches) of the floor. 2. Remove all packing materials inside the oven. Install the roller ring and turntable. Check that the turntable rotates freely. 3. This microwave oven has to be positioned so that plug is accessible. ✽ Never block the air vents as the oven may overheat and automatically switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently. ❉ 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 the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. ✽ 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 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. 5 GB CE2727N-gbUK.fm Page 6 Tuesday, March 27, 2001 8:02 PM GB Setting the Time How a Microwave Oven Works Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock. The time can be displayed in either the 24-hour or 12-hour notation. You must set the clock: • When you first install your microwave oven • After a power failure Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without the foods form or colour changing.

CE2727N-gbUK.fm Page 15 Tuesday, March 27, 2001 8:02 PM Cooking Guide MICROWAVES Food 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 movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food. COOKING 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. 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 It is very important to cover the food during cooking because evaporated water rises as steam and contributes to the cooking process. Food can be covered in different ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film. 150 g 600W 4½-5½ 2-3 Add 15 ml (1 tablespoon) cold water. Broccoli 300 g 600W 9-10 2-3 Add 30 ml (2 tbsp.) cold water. Peas 300 g 600W 7½-8½ 2-3 Add 15 ml (1 tbsp.) cold water. Green Beans 300 g 600W 8-9 2-3 Add 30 ml (2 tbsp.) cold water. 300 g 600W 7½-8½ 2-3 Add 15 ml (1 tbsp.) cold water. Mixed Vegetables (Chinese style) 300 g 600W 8-9 2-3 Add 15 ml (1 tbsp.) cold water. Pasta : Food Standing Instructions Time (min.) Spinach Mixed Vegetables (carrots/ peas/corn) Rice : Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time - see table.

GB CE2727N-gbUK.fm Page 16 Tuesday, March 27, 2001 8:02 PM Cooking Guide (continued) Cooking Guide for fresh vegetables 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. Hint: Cut the fresh vegetables into even sized pieces. The smaller they are cut, the quicker they will cook. All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power(850W). Food Portion Time (min.) 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. 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. Power levels and stirring Some foods can be reheated using 850 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). Standing Instructions Time (min.) Broccoli 250g 500g 4-4½ 8-8½ 3 Prepare even sized florets. Arrange the stems to the centre. Brussels Sprouts 250g 5½-6½ 3 Add 60-75 ml (5-6 tbsp.) water. Carrots 250g 4½-5 3 Cut carrots into even sized slices. Cauliflower 250g 500g 5-5½ 8½-9 3 Prepare even sized florets. Cut big florets into halves. Arrange stems to the centre.

Potatoes 250g 500g 4-5 7½-8½ 3 Weigh the peeled potatoes and cut them into similar sized halves or quarters. Turnip Cabbage 250g 5-5½ 3 Cut turnip cabbage into small cubes. 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. 16 CE2727N-gbUK.fm Page 17 Tuesday, March 27, 2001 8:02 PM Cooking Guide (continued) REHEATING BABY FOOD Reheating Liquids and Food BABY FOOD: Empty into a deep ceramic plate.

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 the defrosting power level (180 W, ). Food Portion 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. Meat Minced beef 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 shielded by wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting. Pork steaks Poultry Chicken pieces 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. Hint: Time (min.) 250g 500g 6-7 13-14 250g 7½-8½ 500g (2pcs) 14½-15½ Standing Instructions Time (min.) 5-25 Place the meat on a flat ceramic plate. Shield thinner edges with aluminium foil.

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. Use the power levels and times in this table as guide lines for grilling Fresh Food Cookware for grilling: Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt. Portion Bread Rolls (each ca. 50 g) 2 pcs 4 pcs Food suitable for grilling: Chops, sausages, steaks, hamburgers, bacon and gammon rashers, thin fish portions, sandwiches and all kinds of toast with toppings. Baguettes + topping (tomatos, cheese, ham, mushrooms) IMPORTANT REMARK: Whenever the grill only mode is used, make sure that the grill-heating element is under the ceiling in the horizontal position and not on the back-wall in the vertical position. Please remember that food must be placed on the high rack, unless another instruction is recommended. MICROWAVE + GRILL This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill with the speed of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the food browns evenly. Three combina-tion modes are available with this model: 600 W + Grill, 450 W + Grill and 300 W + Grill. Cookware for cooking with microwave + grill Please use cookware that microwaves can pass through. Cookware should be flame-proof. Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not use any type of plastic cookware, as it can melt. Food suitable for microwave + grill cooking: Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked food which needs reheating and browning (e.g. baked pasta), as well as foods which require a short cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also, this mode can be used for thick food portions that benefit from a browned and crispy top (e.g. chicken pieces, turning them over half way through cooking). Please refer to the grill table for further details. IMPORTANT REMARK: Whenever the combination mode (microwave + grill) is used, make sure that the grill heating element is under the ceiling in the horizontal position and not on the back-wall in the vertical position. The food should be placed on the high rack, unless another instruction is recommended. Otherwise it has to be placed directly on the turntable.

The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug and, if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1363 of the same rating must be used. Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug. Replacement covers are available from your Dealer. If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your Dealer for assistance. However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains socket, as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord. A few simple precautions should be taken when storing or having your microwave oven serviced. The oven must not be used if the door or door seals are damaged: • Broken hinge • Deteriorated seals • Distorted or bent oven casing Only a qualified microwave service technician should can repair this oven. ☛ ✉ NEVER remove the outer casing from the oven. If the oven is faulty and needs servicing or you are in doubt about its condition: • Unplug it from the wall socket • Contact the nearest after-sales service centre If you wish to store your oven away temporarily, choose a dry, dustfree place. Reason: Dust and damp may adversely affect the working parts in the oven. ✉ This microwave oven is not intended for commercial use. 22 CE2727N-gbUK.fm Page 23 Tuesday, March 27, 2001 8:02 PM Wiring Instructions Cooking Instructions On Food Packaging Microwave Symbols On the front of your oven there is a microwave oven symbol, as shown below. This symbol has been introduced for your benefit when cooking or reheating packaged food. WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock providing an escape wire for the electric current. The appliance is equipped with a mains lead which includes an earth wire for connecting to the earth terminal of your mains plug. The plug must be plugged into a socket that is properly installed and earthed. ☛ The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: • Green-and yellow : Earth • Blue : Neutral • Brown : Live Packaged food is also, increasingly, using a microwave symbol similar to the one below. When you see this ◆ As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings indentifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows. ◆ Connect the green-and yellow wire to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol ( ) or coloured green or green-and-yellow. ◆ Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black. ☛ Symbol on food packaging, the cooking instructions are based on either the IEC Power Output Rating, or the Reheating Categories A, B, C, D or E. Cooking Instructions Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if in doubt about any of these instructions. The manufacturer of this oven will not accept any liability for damage to persons or material for non observance of these requirements. There are no user+serviceable parts inside the oven and if the mains lead of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by qualified service personnel approved by the manufacturer because special tools are required. The IEC Power Output rating is an internationally standardised rating, so all microwave manufacturers now use the same method of measuring power output. If food packaging gives cooking instructions based on IEC Power ratings, set cooking times according to the IEC Power of your oven. For example : If the cooking instructions are based on a 650W oven, then you will need to reduce some cooking time for the CE2727N / CE2727NT (850W) Ready meals are now very convenient and popular. These are meals which are already prepared and cooked by the food manufacturer, and then frozen, chilled or vacuum sealed for long life. Increasingly, heating times for such ready meals are being based on the Heating Categories A, B, C, D and E. On this instance, simply match the heating category of your oven to the instructions on the food package, and set your timer accordingly. WARNING Ensure that the plug and power cord are not damaged before use. If you have any reason to remove the moulded plug from this appliance, immediately remove the fuse and dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains socket under any circumstances as there is a danger of electric shock. For example : If the heating instructions are 3 minutes on HIGH for a D category oven, then you will need to set your timer for less than 3 minutes on HIGH for the CE2727N / CE2727NT (E category). CIRCUITS Your microwave oven should be operated on a separate circuit from other appliances. Failure to do this may cause the circuit breaker to trip, the fuse to blow, or the food to cook more slowly. ☛ 23 Always remember that cooking instructions are intended only as a guide. If you have followed the instructions and the food is still not piping hot throughout, simply return it to the oven and cook it until it is.
