Using this Instruction Booklet

You have just purchased a SAMSUNG microwave oven. Your Owner’s

Instructions contain much valuable information on cooking with your

microwave oven:

• Safety precautions

• Suitable accessories and cookware

• Useful cooking tips

Inside the cover you will find a quick look-up guide explaining three

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 three different symbols.

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 (bent)

(2) Door hinges (broken or loose)

(3) door seals and sealing surfaces

(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

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.

• 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.

• Small amounts of food require shorter cooking or heating time.

If normal times are allowed they may overheat and burn.

• If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door

closed in order to stifle any flames;

• Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling,

therefore care must be taken when handling the container; To prevent this

situation

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.

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.

NEVER

heat a babys bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if

overheated.

• The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken

and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns;

• 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 vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers, nuts in

shells, tomatoes etc.

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

• Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of

the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly

result in a hazardous situation;

•

DO NOT

cover the ventilation slots with cloths or paper. They may catch fire

as hot air is evacuated from the oven.

The oven may overheat and automatically switch itself off. It will remain

inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.

•

ALWAYS

use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven to avoid

unintentional burn.

Setting the Time

Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock. When power is supplied, :0,

88:88 or 12:00 is automatically displayed on the display. Please set the

current time. 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

 Do not forget to reset the clock when you switch to and from

summer and winter time.

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

 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

1.

To display the time in the... Then press the

Clock

()

button...

24-hour notation Once

12-hour notation Twice

2. Set the hour with the

h button and the minutes with the

min

button.

3. When the right time is displayed, press the

Clock

()

button again to start the clock.

Result :

The time is displayed whenever you are not

using the microwave oven.

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)

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.

Cooking Guide

MICROWAVES

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.

Food 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

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.

Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables

Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time - see

table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer.

Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after

cooking. Cover during standing time.

REHEATING

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 750 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.

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.

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.

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 a guide lines for reheating.

Cooking Guide(continued)

DEFROSTING

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.

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.

Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, 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 shield

by wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting.

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: Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less

time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and

defrosting food.

For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to - 20 °C, use the

following table as a guide.

All frozen food should be defrosted using defrosting power level (180 W).

Cooking Guide(continued)

GRILL

The grill-heating element is located underneath the ceiling of the cavity. 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.

Cookware for grilling:

Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic

cookware, as it can melt.

Food suitable for grilling:

Chops, sausages, steaks, hamburgers, bacon and gammon rashers, thin fish

portions, sandwiches and all kinds of toast with toppings.

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 combination 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

flameproof. 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 need 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. Please refer to the instructions in the following chart.

The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides.
