Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO'95 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and to the further development of environmentally-adapted electronic products.

Why do we have environmentally-labelled monitors?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment.The main problem as far as monitors and other electronic equipment are concerned is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it has not been possible so far for the majority of electronic equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter Nature.

There are also other characteristics of a monitor, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from both the working and natural environment viewpoints. Since all types of conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.) it is vital to conserve energy. Electronic equipment in offices consumes an enormous amount of energy, since it is often routinely left running continuously.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme, which provides for international environmental labelling of monitors. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden).

The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electrical and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental demands concern among other things restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons), and chlorinated solvents. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental plan, which must be adhered to in each country where the company conducts its operations policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the monitor after a certain period of inactivity shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level, in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the monitor shall be reasonable for the user. Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, along with physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

Another noteworthy aspect is their sleek design. The combination of stainless steel surfaces and a minimalist aesthetic aligns perfectly with contemporary kitchen styles. The easy-to-read digital display and intuitive control panel simplify operation, allowing users to quickly select settings and customize cooking times.

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.
