PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY
:
•Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or
plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged.
•This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service
personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair, or adjustment.
•Do not cover or block any of the openings on this appliance.
•Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use near water
– for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or
near a swimming pool, etc.
•Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles or spat
tered oils stuck to the oven walls or floor can cause paint
damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven.
•Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
•Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
•Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
•When cleaning door and oven surfaces, use only mild, non-
abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft
cloth.
• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven:
a. Do not over cook food. Watch appliance carefully if
paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are
inside.
b . Remove wire twist-ties from plastic cooking bags before
placing bags in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door
closed, turn the oven off, disconnect the power cord, or
shut off the power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
d. Do not use the oven compartment for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in
the oven when not in use.
•Do not try to preheat oven or operate while empty.
•Do not cook without the glass tray in place on the oven floor.
Food will not cook properly without the tray.
•Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles.
The containers can break.
•Dishes and containers can become hot. Handle with care.
•Carefully remove container coverings, directing steam away
from hands and face.
•After heating baby food, stir well and test temperature by
tasting before serving.
•A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer
cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used
with caution.
•Do not operate any other heating or cooking appliance
beneath this appliance.
•Do not mount unit over or near any portion of a heating or
cooking appliance.
• Do not mount over a sink.
•Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance when
it is in operation.
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the
door open since open-door operation can result
in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is
important not to defeat or tamper with the safe
ty interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the front face
of the oven and the door or allow soil or cleaner
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is
particularly important that the oven door close
properly and that there is no damage to the 1)
door (bent or dented), 2) hinges and latches
(broken or loosened), 3) door seals and sealing
surfaces.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by
anyone except properly qualified service
personnel.
WARNING
Always observe Safety Precautions when
using your oven. Never try to repair the oven
on your own – there is dangerous voltage
inside. If the oven needs to be repaired, call
1-800-SAMSUNG for the name of an autho-
rized service center near you.
IMPORTANT SAFETY

ONTENTS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This appli-
ance is equipped with a cord that includes a grounding wire
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded. Plug the three-prong
power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard 115-120
voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should be the only appliance on this
circuit.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or ser-
vicer if you do not understand the grounding instruc-
tions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly
grounded.
Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to
use an adapter, where local codes may permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong
wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, which is
available at most hardware stores.
Use of Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer
cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use. If a long cord or extension cord
is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord
and it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over accidentally. If you use an extension
cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower may vary
when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer,
too.
WARNING
Do not cut or remove the third (ground)prong from
the power cord under any circumstances.
