English - 4SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONSCAUTION CAUTION1. Over The Range model Only - Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood of the filter.- When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.- Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaner, may damage the filter.2. Push Button type model Only- Pre-caution for safe use to avoid possible exposure to excessive micro oven energy : Do not attempt to pull any part of the door by hand to open the door. Open the door only utilizing the push button located at front-right-bottom side.GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONSThis 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 appliance 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.WARNING WARNINGImproper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. - Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove the third (grounding) prong. Do not use an adaptor or otherwise defeat the grounding plug.- Consult a qualified electrician or service person if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.- We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance. If the power-supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance. However, if it is necessary to use an extension cord, read and follow the “Use of Extension Cords” section below.A17. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing the bags in the oven.c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is opened, the fire may spread.d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.18. Liquids, such as water, milk, coee, or tea can be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury:a. Do not overheat liquid.b. Stir liquid both before and halfway through heating it.c. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.19. Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not inserted in microwave / toaster oven as they may create a fire of electric shock.20. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Piece can burn o the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.21. Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in the toaster mode.22. Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.23. Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.MC11H6033CT_AA_DE68-XXXXXX-00_EN_140612.indd 4  
English - 501 SAFETY INFORMATIONSAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONSSAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONSUSE OF EXTENSION CORDSA short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of your becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and you can use them if you exercise care. If you use a long cord or extension cord: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 speed of the blower may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer too.WARNING CRITICAL INSTALLATION WARNINGSThe installation of this appliance must be performed by a qualified technician or service company.- Failing to have a qualified technician install the oven may result in electric shock, fire, an explosion, problems with the product, or injury.Unpack the oven, remove all packaging material and examine the oven for any damage such as dents on the interior or exterior of the oven, broken door latches, cracks in the door, or a door that is not lined up correctly.

A small dish may be placed on the turntable and a second dish on the rack. The metal racks can be used in grill, convection and combination cooking.4. * Crusty plate, to be placed on the turntable.Purpose: The crusty plate is used to brown bottom of food by using the microwave or grill combination cooking modes and to keep pastry and pizza dough crispy.DO NOT operate the microwave oven without the roller ring and turntable.If you need an accessory marked with a *, you can buy it from the Samsung Contact Center (1-800-726-7864) or on-line web site (www.samsungparts.com)oven useHOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKSMicrowaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour.You can use your microwave oven to:šDefrostšReheatšCookCooking Principle.1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron reflected at cavity and are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.2. 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.3. Cooking times vary according to the container used and the properties of the food:šQuantity and densityšWater contentš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.
