SA V E TH E S E IN S T R U C T I O N S S AFETY MW8490W(mini) 2/20/99 2:51 PM Page 4 SAFETY Important Grounding Instructions 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 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. Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard 115-120 volt age, 60 Hz. Your oven should be the only appliance on this circuit. WARNING WARNING Do not cut or remove the third (ground)prong from the power cord under any circumstances. Using an Adapter 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 twoprong wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, which is available at most hardware stores. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded. 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 3wire 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.

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, make sure 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 other appliance doesn’t work, have a qualified electrician repair the outlet. • Plug the oven into a different outlet. The oven’s display works, but the power won’t come on. • Make sure the door is closed securely. • Check to see if packing material or other material is stuck to the door seal. • Check for door damage. • Press Cancel twice and re-enter all cooking instructions. The power goes off before the set time has elapsed. • If there has not been a power outage, remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. If there was a power outage, the time indicator 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 circuit line. Operating another appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage drop. If necessary, move the 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 least one 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 other small appliances, such as hair dryers. Move your microwave further away from other appliances, like your TV or radio. Care and Cleaning Follow these instructions to clean and care for your oven. • Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently. • Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives. • To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh) in a four-cup measuring glass at High power for five minutes or until boiling. Let stand in the oven for one or two minutes. • Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher. • Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. To pr event damage to the operating parts of the oven, don’t let water seep into the openings. • Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching. • If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage. • Never operate the oven without food in it; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
