COOKINGINSTRUCTIONS16 COOKINGINSTRUCTIONSCooking UtensilsRecommended Use• Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes —Use for heating or cooking.• Microwave browning dish — Use to brown theexterior of small items such as steaks, chops, orpancakes. Follow the directions provided withyour browning dish.• Microwavable plastic wrap — Use to retainsteam. Leave a small opening for some steam toescape and avoid placing it directly on the food.• Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spatter-ing.• Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-termheating and covering; they absorb excess mois-ture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycledpaper towels, which may contain metal and cancatch fire.• Paper plates and cups — Use for short-termheating at low temperatures. Do not use recy-cled paper, which may contain metal and cancatch fire.• Thermometers — Use only those labeled“Microwave Safe” and follow all directions.Check the food in several places. Conventionalthermometers may be used once the food hasbeen removed from the oven.Limited Use• Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to pre-vent overcooking of exposed areas. Using toomuch foil can damage your oven, so be careful.• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use theseif they are labeled “Microwave Safe.” If theyare not labeled, test them to make sure they canbe used safely. Never use dishes with metallictrim.• Plastic — Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe.”Other plastics can melt.• Straw, wicker, and wood — Use only for short-term heating, as they can be flammable.Not Recommended• Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is toothin to be used in a microwave, and can shatter.• Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, exceptfor popcorn bags that are designed formicrowave use.• Styrofoam plates and cups — These can meltand leave an unhealthy residue on food.• Plastic storage and food containers —Containers such as margarine tubs can melt inthe microwave.• Metal utensils — These can damage your oven.Remove all metal before cooking. Testing UtensilsIf you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can perform this test:1Fill a 1 cup glass measuring cup withwater and put it inside your oven, next tothe dish you want to test.2Press the One Minute+ button once toheat them for one minute at High power.The water should be warm and the dish you aretesting should be cool. If the dish is warm, then it isabsorbing microwave energy and is not acceptablefor use in the microwave.MW5592W(mini-SEA) 11/10/00 8:06 AM Page 16
COOKINGINSTRUCTIONS17COOKINGINSTRUCTIONSCooking TechniquesStirringStir foods such as casseroles and vegetables whilecooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the out-side of the dish absorbs more energy and heatsmore quickly, so stir from the outside to the center.The oven will turn off when you open the door tostir your food.ArrangementArrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chickenpieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier partstoward the outside of the turntable where theyreceive more microwave energy. To prevent over-cooking, place thin or delicate parts toward thecenter of the turntable.ShieldingShield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil toprevent overcooking. Areas that need shieldinginclude poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs,and corners of square baking dishes. Use onlysmall amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amountscan damage your oven.Turning Turn foods over midway through cooking to exposeall parts to microwave energy. This is especiallyimportant with large items such as roasts.Standing Foods cooked in the microwave build up internalheat and continue to cook for a few minutes afterthe oven stops. Let foods stand to complete cook-ing, especially foods such as roasts and wholevegetables. Roasts need this time to completecooking in the center without overcooking theouter areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot choco-late, should be shaken or stirred when cooking iscomplete. Let liquids stand a moment before serv-ing. When heating baby food, stir well and test thetemperature before serving.Adding Moisture Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules.Food that is uneven in moisture content should becovered or allowed to stand so that the heat dis-perses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dryfood to help it cook.General Tips • Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer toheat than lighter foods. Foods with a delicatetexture should be heated at a low power level toavoid becoming tough.• Altitude and the type of cookware you are usingcan affect cooking time. When using a newrecipe, use the minimum cooking time andcheck the food occasionally to prevent over-cooking.• Foods with a non-porous skin or shell, such aspotatoes, eggs, or hot dogs, should be piercedto prevent bursting.• Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommend-ed. Fat and oil can suddenly boil over andcause severe burns.• Some ingredients heat faster than others. Forexample, the jelly inside a jelly doughnut will behotter than the dough. Keep this in mind to avoidburns.• Home canning in the microwave oven is notrecommended because all harmful bacteria maynot be destroyed by the microwave heatingprocess.• Although microwaves do not heat the cook-ware, the heat is often transferred to the cook-ware. Always use pot holders when removingfood from the microwave and instruct childrento do the same.MW5592W(mini-SEA) 11/10/00 8:06 AM Page 17

COOKINGINSTRUCTIONS19COOKINGINSTRUCTIONS• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking.Often, no extra water is needed. If dense vegeta-bles such as potatoes, carrots and green beansare being cooked, add about 1/4 cup water.• Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans,etc.) will cook faster than larger ones.• Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acornsquash or corn on the cob, should be arranged ina circle on the turntable before cooking. They willcook more evenly if turned over after half thecooking time.• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broc-coli with the stem ends pointing towards the edgeof the dish and the tips toward the center.• When cooking cut vegetables, always cover thedish with a lid or vented microwavable plasticwrap. • Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes,squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skinpricked in several spots before cooking to preventthem from bursting.• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange wholevegetables halfway through the cooking time.• Generally, the denser the food, the longer thestanding time. (Standing time refers to the timenecessary for dense, large foods and vegetablesto finish cooking after they come out of the oven.)A baked potato can stand on the counter for fiveminutes before cooking is completed, while a dishof peas can be served immediately.GUIDE for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave• Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked or eggs in the shell; they can explode.• Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.• Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.GUIDE for Cooking Vegetables in Your MicrowaveGUIDE for Cooking Seafood in Your Microwave• Cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork.• Place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. • Use a tight cover to steam fish.

APPENDIX23APPENDIXTroubleshooting GuideBefore you call a repair person for your oven, check this list of possible problems and solutions.Neither the oven’s display nor the oven operate.• Properly insert the plug into a grounded outlet. • If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, makesure the wall switch is turned on. • Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds,then plug it in again. • Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.• Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the otherappliance doesn’t work, have a qualified electri-cian repair the outlet. • Plug the oven into a different outlet.The oven’s display works, but the power won’t comeon.• Make sure the door is closed securely.• Check to see if packing material or other materialis stuck to the door seal. • Check for door damage.• Press Cancel twice and re-enter all cookinginstructions.The power goes off before the set time has elapsed.• If there has not been a power outage, remove theplug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug itin again. If there was a power outage, the timeindicator will display “SAMSUNG SO SIMPLE”Reset the clock and any cooking instructions. • Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.The food is cooking too slowly.• Make sure the oven is on its own 20 amp circuitline. Operating another appliance on the same cir-cuit can cause a voltage drop. If necessary, movethe oven to its own circuit.You see sparks or arcing.• Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties.If using foil, use only narrow strips and allow at leastone inch between the foil and interior oven walls.The turntable makes noises or sticks.• Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor. • Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.Using your microwave causes TV or radio interference.• This is similar to the interference caused by othersmall appliances, such as hair dryers. Move yourmicrowave further away from other appliances,like your TV or radio.Care and CleaningFollow these instructions to clean and care for youroven.• Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particlesand spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls,causing the oven to work less efficiently.• Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp cloth andmild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abra-sives. • To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids,heat two cups of water (add the juice of one lemonif you desire to keep the oven fresh) in a four-cupmeasuring glass at High power for five minutes oruntil boiling. Let stand in the oven for one or twominutes. • Remove the glass tray from the oven when clean-ing the oven or tray. To prevent the tray frombreaking, handle it carefully and do not put it inwater immediately after cooking. Wash the traycarefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwash-er. • Clean the outside surface of the oven with soapand a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. To preventdamage to the operating parts of the oven, don’t letwater seep into the openings.• Wash the door window with very mild soap andwater. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratch-ing.• If steam accumulates inside or outside the ovendoor, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumu-late when operating the oven in high humidity andin no way indicates microwave leakage.• Never operate the oven without food in it; this candamage the magnetron tube or glass tray.
