Microwave Operation Precautions - Samsung MG23A7118C Series User Manual

Microwave warning
Microwave heating of beverages may result in delayed eruptive boiling; always use caution
when handling the container. Always allow beverages to stand at least 20 seconds before
handling. If necessary, stir during heating. Always stir after heating.
In the event of scalding, follow these First Aid instructions:
1. Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.
2. Cover with a clean, dry dressing.
3. Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.
To avoid damaging the tray or rack, do not put the tray or rack in water shortly after
cooking.
Do not use the oven for deep fat frying because the oil temperature cannot be controlled.
This could result in a sudden boil over of hot oils.
Microwave oven precautions
Only use microwave-safe utensils. Do not use metallic containers, gold or silver trimmed
dinnerware, skewers, etc.
Remove wire twist ties. Electric arcing may occur.
Do not use the oven to dry papers or clothes.
Use shorter times for small amounts of food to prevent overheating or burning.
Keep the power cord and power plug away from water and heat sources.
To avoid the risk of explosion, do not heat eggs with shells or hard-boiled eggs. Do not
heat airtight or vacuum-sealed containers, nuts, tomatoes, etc.
Do not cover the ventilation slots with cloth or paper. This is a fire hazard. The oven may
overheat and turn off automatically and will remain off until it cools sufficiently.
Always use oven mitts when removing a dish.
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 oven when it is empty. The 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 oven is started accidentally.
Install the oven in compliance with the clearances in this manual. (See Installing your
microwave oven.)
Use caution when connecting other electrical appliances to sockets near the oven.

Microwave operation precautions

Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure to
microwave energy.
• Do not operate the oven with the door open. Do not tamper with the safety interlocks
(door latches). Do not insert anything into the safety interlock holes.
• Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or allow food or cleaner
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Keep the door and door sealing surfaces
clean by wiping with a damp cloth and then with a soft, dry cloth after each use.
• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. Only operate after it has been repaired by a
qualified technician.
Important: the oven door must close properly. The door must not be bent; the door
hinges must not be broken or loose; the door seals and sealing surfaces must not be
damaged.
• All adjustments or repairs must be done by a qualified technician.
