SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
MS8796/9796-GB 9/27/00 3:21 AM Page 3
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
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 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 circum-
stances.

ferent types of food.
Type of food: Roast beef, pork
Amount: 2.5-6.0 lbs.
Procedure: Start with the food placed fat
side down. After each stage,
turn the food over and shield
any warm portions with narrow
strips of aluminum foil.
Type of food: Steaks, chops, fish
Amount: 0.5-3.0 lbs.
Procedure: After each stage, rearrange the
food. If there are any warm or
thawed portions of food, shield
them with narrow strips of alu-
minum foil. Remove any pieces
of food that are nearly defrost-
ed. Let stand, covered, for 5-10
minutes.
Type of food: Ground meat
Amount: 0.5-3.0 lbs.
Procedure: After each stage, remove any
pieces of food that are nearly
defrosted. Let stand, covered
with foil, for 5–10 minutes.
Type of food: Chicken, whole
Amount: 2.5-6.0 lbs.
Procedure: Remove giblets before freezing
poultry. Start defrosting with the
breast side down. After the first
stage, turn the chicken over and
shield any warm portions with
narrow strips of aluminum foil.
After the second stage, again
shield any warm portions with
narrow strips of aluminum foil.
When defrost cycle is over, let
stand, covered, for 30–60 minutes
in the refrigerator.
Type of food: Chicken, pieces
Amount: 0.5-3.0 lbs.
Procedure: After each stage, rearrange or
remove any pieces of food that
are nearly defrosted. Let stand
for 10-20 minutes.
Notes
Check foods when the oven signals. After the final
stage, small sections may still be icy; let them stand
to continue thawing. Do not cook until all ice crystals
have thawed.
Shielding roasts and steaks prevents the edges from
cooking before the center of the food has defrosted.
Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to
cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.

Cooking Utensils
Recommended Use
• Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes —
Use for heating or cooking.
• Microwave browning dish — Use to brown the
exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or
pancakes. Follow the directions provided with
your browning dish.
• Microwavable plastic wrap — Use to retain
steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to
escape 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-term
heating and covering; they absorb excess mois-
ture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled
paper towels, which may contain metal and can
catch fire.
• Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term
heating at low temperatures. Do not use recy-
cled paper, which may contain metal and can
catch fire.
• Thermometers — Use only those labeled
“Microwave Safe” and follow all directions.
Check the food in several places. Conventional
thermometers may be used once the food has
been removed from the oven.
Limited Use
• Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to pre-
vent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too
much foil can damage your oven, so be careful.
• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware — Use these
if they are labeled “Microwave Safe.” If they
are not labeled, test them to make sure they can
be used safely. Never use dishes with metallic
trim.
• 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 too
thin to be used in a microwave, and can shatter.
• Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except
for popcorn bags that are designed for
microwave use.
• Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt
and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
• Plastic storage and food containers —
Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in
the microwave.
• Metal utensils — These can damage your oven.
Remove all metal before cooking.
Testing Utensils
If you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-
safe or not, you can perform this test:
1Fill a 1 cup glass measuring cup with
water and put it inside your oven, next to
the dish you want to test.
2Press the One Minute+ button once to
heat them for one minute at High power.
The water should be warm and the dish you are
testing should be cool. If the dish is warm, then it is
absorbing microwave energy and is not acceptable
for use in the microwave.

Cooking Techniques
Stirring
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while
cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the out-
side of the dish absorbs more energy and heats
more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center.
The oven will turn off when you open the door to
stir your food.
Arrangement
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken
pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts
toward the outside of the turntable where they
receive more microwave energy. To prevent over-
cooking, place thin or delicate parts toward the
center of the turntable.
Shielding
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to
prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding
include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs,
and corners of square baking dishes. Use only
small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts
can damage your oven.
Turning
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose
all parts to microwave energy. This is especially
important with large items such as roasts.
Standing
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal
heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after
the oven stops. Let foods stand to complete cook-
ing, especially foods such as roasts and whole
vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete
cooking in the center without overcooking the
outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot choco-
late, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is
complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serv-
ing. When heating baby food, stir well and test the
temperature before serving.
Adding Moisture
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules.
Food that is uneven in moisture content should be
covered or allowed to stand so that the heat dis-
perses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry
food to help it cook.
General Tips
• Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to
heat than lighter foods. Foods with a delicate
texture should be heated at a low power level to
avoid becoming tough.
• Altitude and the type of cookware you are using
can affect cooking time. When using a new
recipe, use the minimum cooking time and
check the food occasionally to prevent over-
cooking.
• Foods with a non-porous skin or shell, such as
potatoes, eggs, or hot dogs, should be pierced
to prevent bursting.
• Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommend-
ed. Fat and oil can suddenly boil over and
cause severe burns.
• Some ingredients heat faster than others. For
example, the jelly inside a jelly doughnut will be
hotter than the dough. Keep this in mind to avoid
burns.
• Home canning in the microwave oven is not
recommended because all harmful bacteria may
not be destroyed by the microwave heating
process.
• Although microwaves do not heat the cook-
ware, the heat is often transferred to the cook-
ware. Always use pot holders when removing
food from the microwave and instruct children
to do the same.

Keep in mind that microwaves cook from the outside to the inside, therefore the following techniques will
give the best results.
MS8796/9796-GB 9/27/00 3:21 AM Page 17
Important
• After installing the oven and plugging into an
electrical outlet, do not unplug the power cord.
The gas sensor needs time to stabilize in order
to cook satisfactorily.
• It its not advisable to use the auto sensor cook-
ing feature on a continuous cooking operation,
i.e. one cooking operation immediately after
another.
Let the oven cool 5 minutes before using Auto
Senser again.
• Install the oven in a well ventilated location for
proper cooling and airflow and to ensure the
sensor will operate accurately.
• To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto
Sensor when the room ambient temperature is
too high or too low.
• Do not use volatile detergent to clean your
oven. Gas resulting from this detergent may
affect the sensor.
• Avoid placing the oven near high moisture or
gas emitting appliances, since this will interfere
with the proper performance of the Auto
Sensor.
• Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe
all spills with a damp cloth.
This oven is designed for household use only.
Auto Sensor Cook
The Auto Sensor allows you to cook your food
automatically by detecting the amount of gases
generated from the food while cooking.
• When cooking food, many kinds of gases are
generated. The Auto Sensor determines the
proper time and power level by detecting these
gases from the food, eliminating the need to set
the cooking time and power level.
• When you cover a container with its lid or plas-
tic wrap during Sensor Cooking, the Auto
Sensor will detect the gases generated after
the container has been saturated with steam.
• Shortly before cooking ends, the remaining
cooking time will begin its count down. This
will be a good time for you to rotate or stir the
food for even cooking if it is necessary.
• Before auto sensor cooking food may be sea-
soned with herbs, spices or browning sauces.
A word of caution though, salt or sugar may
cause burn spots on food so these ingredients
should be added after cooking.
• The MORE/LESS function pad is used to
increase or decrease cooking time. You should
use this function to adjust the degree of cook-
ing to suit your personal taste.
Utensils & Cover For Sensor Cooking
• To obtain good cooking results with this func-
tion, follow the directions for selecting appro-
priate containers and covers in the charts in
this book.
• Always use microwave-safe containers and
cover them with their lids or with plastic wrap.
When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner
to allow steam to escape at the proper rate.
• Always cover with the lid intended for the
utensil being used. If the utensil does not have
its own lid, use plastic wrap.
• Fill containers at least half full.
• Foods that require stirring or rotating should be
stirred or turned toward the end of the Sensor
Cook cycle, after the time has started to count
down on the display.

Arrange fillets in a baking dish, turning
any thin pieces under. Cover with wax
paper. If fillets are over 1/2" thick, turn
over and rearrange when cooking time is
half up. Cook until fish flakes easily with a
fork. Let stand 2-3 min.
• Vegetables should be washed just before cooking.
Often, no extra water is needed. If dense vegeta-
bles such as potatoes, carrots and green beans
are 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, acorn
squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in
a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will
cook more evenly if turned over after half the
cooking time.
• Always place vegetables like asparagus and broc-
coli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge
of the dish and the tips toward the center.
• When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the
dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic
wrap.
• Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes,
squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin
pricked in several spots before cooking to prevent
them from bursting.
• For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole
vegetables halfway through the cooking time.
• Generally, the denser the food, the longer the
standing time. (Standing time refers to the time
necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables
to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.)
A baked potato can stand on the counter for five
minutes before cooking is completed, while a dish
of peas can be served immediately.
GUIDE for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave
• Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked 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 Microwave
GUIDE for Cooking Seafood in Your Microwave
• Cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork.

Troubleshooting Guide
Before 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, make
sure the wall switch is turned on.
• Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten sec-
onds, 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 materi-
al 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 SIM-
PLE” Reset the clock and any cooking instruc-
tions.
• 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 posi-
tioned 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 parti-
cles 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 liq-
uids, 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 pre-
vent 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 accumu-
late 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.
