Environmental Requirements

Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. In turn, they delay the spread of fire. Up to thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. These are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to similar harm, including reproductive damage in fish eating birds and mammals, due to the bioaccumulative processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur. TCO'95 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain organically bound chlorine and bromine.

Lead

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. TCO'95 requirement Permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

Cadmium

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of cadmium. The colour-generating layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics components concerned with the display unit.

CFCs (freons)

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacturing of expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of ultraviolet light with consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).

. The relevant TCO'95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacturing of the product or its packaging.

Advanced sensor cooking technology is another hallmark of these models. This feature detects moisture levels in the food and automatically adjusts cooking time to ensure perfect results, preventing overcooked or undercooked meals. Such intelligent functionality takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking.

Moreover, the Samsung models are designed with multiple cooking options, including presets for popcorn, pizza, and other common snacks, ensuring that they cater to various culinary preferences. The addition of a grilling element in some models allows for enhanced cooking versatility, achieving crispy, browned results that mimic traditional oven-cooked food.

In terms of safety, these microwaves incorporate child safety locks, preventing accidental operation by curious little hands. The models are also designed with efficient energy consumption in mind, aligning with eco-conscious lifestyles and reducing overall power usage.

In summary, the Samsung MO17ESZC/XSG, MO17PSDS/VNT, MO17ESDS/EDC, MO17PSZSQ/EDC, and MO17ESDS/SAI microwaves exemplify a blend of style, efficiency, and advanced technology. Their robust features ensure they meet the demands of modern cooking while also providing an attractive addition to any kitchen decor. Whether heating leftovers, cooking meals from scratch, or defrosting ingredients, these microwaves are built to enhance culinary experiences.
