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:  
Metallic containers  
Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings  
Skewers, forks, etc.  
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.  
Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.  
2. DO NOT heat:  
The step-by-step procedures use three different symbols.  
Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers  
Ex) Baby food jars  
Airtight food.  
Important  
Note  
Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes  
Reason: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.  
Tip:  
Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.  
Turn  
3. DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty.  
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO  
Reason: The oven walls may be damaged.  
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.  
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.  
(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:  
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.  
(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.  
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

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  
A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.  
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.  
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.  
WARNING:  
In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:  
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has  
been repaired by a competent person.  
*
*
*
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.  
WARNING:  
It is hazardous for anyone other than a comperent person to carry out any service  
or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection  
against exposure to microwave energy.  
NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if  
overheated.  
WARNING:  
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are  
liable to explode.  
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.  
WARNING:  
Only allow children to use the oven without supervicion when adequate  
instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe  
way and understands the hazards of improper use.  
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 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 automati-cally for safety. You can operate normally after letting it stand for  
over 30 minutes.

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 a special cable (I-SHENG  
SP022, KDK KKP4819D, EUROELECTRIC 3410, SAMIL SP-  
106B, MOONSUNG EP-48E, HIGH PROJECT H.P 3). Contact  
your local dealer to have it replaced. The power cable of ISRAEL  
is PENCON(ZD16A), S/AFRICA APEX LEADS SA16 and  
NIGERIA, GHANA, KENYA and U.A.E is PENCON(UD13A1).  
5. Press the  
button.  
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.
