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:
Inside the cover you will find a quick look-up guide explaining three
basic cooking operations:
•
•
•
Metallic containers
Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings
Skewers, forks, etc.
•
•
•
Cooking food
Defrosting food
Adding extra cooking time
Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.
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
Reason: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.
Tip: Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.
The step-by-step procedures use two different symbols.
☛
☛
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
Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful
exposure to 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.
(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:
(1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces
(2) Door hinges (broken or loose)
(3) Power cable
•
•
•
•
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
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.
5
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.
•
•
•
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.
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.

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-ment 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.

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 special 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.
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.
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.
Standing times
It is important to allow standing time when you have finished cooking the food in
order to allow the temperature within the food to even out.

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 and 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.
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.
Recommended serving temperature: ca. 37°C.
Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using 1000 W power while others should be
reheated using 850W, 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).
REMARK:
Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent
burns. Use the power levels and times in the next table as guide lines for
reheating. The times in the chart consider baby milk and food with a room
temperature of about +18°C to +20°C.
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir
again before serving.
Reheating Frozen Food
Use the power levels and times in this table as guide lines for reheating..
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.

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.
