Installation

ACCESSORIES

Depending on the model that you have purchased, you are supplied with several accessories that can be used in a variety of ways.

	Roller ring, to be placed in the centre of the oven. Purpose: The roller ring supports the turntable.
	Turntable, to be placed on the roller ring with the centre fitting to the coupler. Purpose: The turntable serves as the main cooking surface; it can be easily removed for cleaning.

DO NOT operate the microwave oven without the roller ring and turntable.

INSTALLATION SITE

• Select a flat, level surface approx. 85 cm above the floor. The surface must support the weight of the oven.
• Secure room for ventilation, at least 10 cm from the rear wall and both sides, and 20 cm from above.
  
• Do not install the oven in hot or damp surroundings, such as next to other microwave ovens or radiators.
• Conform to the power supply specifications of this oven. Use only approved extension cables if you need to use.
• Wipe the interior and the door seal with a damp cloth before using your oven for the first time.

TURNTABLE

Remove all packing materials inside the oven. Install the roller ring and turntable. Check that the turntable rotates freely.

Maintenance

CLEANING

Clean the oven regularly to prevent impurities from building up on or inside the oven. Also pay special attention to the door, door sealing, and turntable and roller ring (applicable models only).

If the door won't open or close smoothly, first check if the door seals have built up impurities. Use a soft cloth in soapy water to clean both the inner and outer sides of the oven. Rinse and dry well.

To remove stubborn impurities with bad smells from inside the oven

1. With an empty oven, put a cup of diluted lemon juice on the centre of the turntable.
2. Heat the oven for 10 minutes at max power.
3. When the cycle is complete, wait until the oven cools down. Then, open the door and clean the cooking chamber.

To clean inside swing-heater models

To clean the upper area of the cooking chamber, lower the top heating element by 45° as shown. This will help clean the upper area. When done, reposition the top heating element.

• Keep the door and door sealing clean and ensure the door opens and closes smoothly. Otherwise, the oven's lifecycle may be shortened.
• Take caution not to spill water into the oven vents.
• Do not use any abrasive or chemical substances for cleaning.
• After each use of the oven, use a mild detergent to clean the cooking chamber after waiting for the oven to cool down.

REPLACEMENT (REPAIR)

This oven has no user-removable parts inside. Do not try to replace or repair the oven yourself.

• If you encounter a problem with hinges, sealing, and/or the door, contact a qualified technician or a local Samsung service centre for technical assistance.
• If you want to replace the light bulb, contact a local Samsung service centre. Do not replace it yourself.
• If you encounter a problem with the outer housing of the oven, first unplug the power cord from the power source, and then contact a local Samsung service centre.

Oven Use

HOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without the foods form or colour changing. You can use your microwave oven to:

• Defrost (manual & auto)
• Cook
• Reheat

Cooking Principle.

	The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.
	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.
	Cooking times vary according to the recipient used and the properties of the food: Quantity and density Water content Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

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.

CHECKING THAT YOUR OVEN IS OPERATING CORRECTLY

The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is working correctly at all times.
Open the oven door by pulling the handle on the right side of the door. Place a glass of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.

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 800 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 Liquids and Food

Use the power levels and times in this table as a guide lines for reheating.

Food	Serving Size	Power	Time (min.)
Drinks (Coffee, Tea and Water)	150 ml (1 cup) 250 ml (1 mug)	800 W	1-1½ 1½-2
	Instructions Pour into cup and reheat uncovered. Put cup/ mug in the centre of turntable. Keep in microwave oven during standing time and stir well. Stand for 1-2 minutes.

MANUAL 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).
