General safety

Any modifications or repairs must be performed by qualified personnel only. Do not heat food or liquids sealed in containers for the microwave function.

Do not use benzene, thinner, alcohol, or steam or high-pressure cleaners to clean the oven.

Do not install the oven: near a heater or flammable material; locations that are humid, oily, dusty or exposed to direct sunlight or water; or where gas may leak; or an uneven surface.

This oven must be properly grounded in accordance with local and national codes. Regularly use a dry cloth to remove foreign substances from the power plug terminals and contacts.

Do not pull, excessively bend, or place heavy objects on the power cord.

If there is a gas leak (propane, LP, etc) ventilate immediately. Do not touch the power cord.

Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.

While the oven is operating, do not turn it off by unplugging the power cord. Do not insert fingers or foreign substances. If foreign substances enter the oven, unplug the power cord and contact a local Samsung service centre.

Do not apply excessive pressure or impact to the oven. Do not place the oven over fragile objects.

Ensure the power voltage, frequency, and current matches the product specifications.

Firmly plug the power plug into the wall socket. Do not use multiple plug adapters, extension cords, or electric transformers.

Do not hook the power cord on metal objects. Make sure the cord is between objects or behind the oven.

Do not use a damaged power plug, power cord, or loose wall socket. For damaged power plugs or cords, contact a local Samsung service centre.

Do not pour or directly spray water onto the oven.

Do not place objects on the oven, inside, or on the oven door. Do not spray volatile materials such as insecticide on the oven.

Do not store flammable materials in the oven. Because alcohol vapours can contact hot parts of the oven, use caution when heating food or drinks containing alcohol. Children may bump themselves or catch their fingers on the door. When opening/ closing the door, keep children away.

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.
