Using this Instruction Booklet  
You have just purchased a SAMSUNG microwave oven. Your Owner’s  
Instructions contain much valuable information on cooking with your  
microwave oven:  
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO  
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY  
GB  
Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful  
exposure to microwave energy.  
Safety precautions  
Suitable accessories and cookware  
Useful cooking tips  
(a) Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to operate the oven with  
the door open or to tamper with the safety interlocks (door latches) or to insert  
anything into the safety interlock holes.  
Inside the cover you will find a quick look-up guide explaining four  
basic cooking operations:  
Cooking food  
Defrosting food  
Grilling food  
(b) Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or allow food or  
cleaner residues to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Ensure that the door and  
door sealing surfaces are kept clean by wiping after use first with a damp cloth  
and then with a soft dry cloth.  
Adding extra cooking time  
At the front of the booklet you will find illustrations of the oven, and  
more importantly the control panel, so that you can find the buttons  
more easily.  
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been repaired by a  
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.  
It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is  
no damage to the:  
The step-by-step procedures use four different symbols.  
(1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces  
(2) Door hinges (broken or loose)  
(3) Power cable  
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly  
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.

Safety Precautions  
To prevent delayed boiling and possible scalding, you should put a plastic  
spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after  
heating.  
Important Safety Instructions.  
GB  
Read Carefully and keep for future reference.  
Reason: During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed;  
this means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is  
removed from the oven. You may scald yourself.  
Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check  
that the following safety precautions are taken.  
In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:  
1. DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:  
*
*
*
Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.  
Cover with a clean, dry dressing.  
Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.  
Metallic containers  
Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings  
Skewers, forks, etc.  
NEVER fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at  
the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles  
with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.  
ALWAYS check the temperature of baby food or milk before giving it to  
the baby.  
Reason: Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.  
2. DO NOT heat:  
Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers.  
Ex) Baby food jars  
Airtight food.  
NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if  
overheated.  
Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes  
Reason: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.  
Tip: Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.  
9. Be careful not to damage the power cable.  
Do not immerse the power cable or plug in water and keep the power  
cable away from heated surfaces.  
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug.  
3. DO NOT operate the microwave oven when it is empty.  
Reason: The oven walls may be damaged.  
Tip:  
Leave a glass of water inside the oven at all times.  
The water will absorb the microwaves if you accidentally set the  
oven going when it is empty.  
10. Stand at arm’s length from the oven when opening the door.  
Reason: The hot air or steam released may cause scalding.  
11. Keep the inside of the oven clean.  
Reason: Food particles or spattered oils stuck to oven walls or floor can  
cause paint damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven.  
12. You may notice a “Clicking” sound during operation(especially when the oven  
is in defrosting).  
Reason: This sound is normal when the electrical power output is changing.  
13. When the microwave oven is operating without any load, the power will be cut  
off automatically for safety. You can operate the oven normally after letting it  
stand for over 30 minutes.  
4. DO NOT cover the rear ventilation slots with cloths or paper.  
Reason: The cloths or paper may catch fire as hot air is evacuated from the  
oven.  
5. ALWAYS use oven gloves when removing a dish from the oven.  
Reason: Some dishes absorb microwaves and heat is always transferred  
from the food to the dish.The dishes are therefore hot.  
6. DO NOT touch heating elements or interior oven walls.  
Reason: These walls may be hot enough to burn even after cooking has  
finished, even though they do not appear to be so. Do not allow  
inflammable materials to come into contact with any interior area of  
the oven. Let the oven cool down first.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
7. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:  
During cooking, you should look into the oven from time to time when food is  
being heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other  
combustible materials.  
Do not store flammable materials in the oven  
Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags  
Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers  
If smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed and switch off or  
disconnect the oven from the power supply  
IMPORTANT  
Young children should NEVER be allowed to use or play with the microwave  
oven. Nor should they be left unattended near the microwave oven when it is in  
use. Items of interest to children should not be stored or hidden just above the  
oven.  
8. Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods.  
ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has  
been switched off so that the temperature can equalize.  
Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating.  
Take care when handling the container after heating. You may burn  
yourself if the container is too hot.  
A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.

How a Microwave Oven Work  
Checking that Your Oven is Operating Correctly  
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy  
released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing  
either the form or the colour.  
The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is  
working correctly at all times.  
GB  
Open the oven door by pulling on the handle on the right side of the  
door. Place a glass of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.  
You can use your microwave oven to:

Cooking Principle  
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are  
distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the  
turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.  
2. Press the  
button.  
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a  
depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then

3. Cooking times vary according to the recipient used  
and the properties of the food:  
Quantity and density  
Water content  
Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)  
4. Press  
button.  
Result:  
The oven heats the water for 4 to 5 minutes.  
The water should then be boiling.  
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking  
continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven.  
Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore  
be respected to ensure:

Manual Defrosting Food(CE2714N/CE2714NT)  
Using the Crusty Plate (CE2774NT/CE2714NT)  
The Defrost feature enables you to defrost meat, poultry, fish.  
Your Samsung microwave oven has a crusty plate as an additional  
accessory. This crusty plate allows you to brown food not only on the  
top with the grill, but also the bottom of the food turns crispy and  
brown due to the high temperature of the crusty plate. Several items  
which you can prepare on the crusty plate can be found in the chart  
(see next page).  
GB  
First, place the frozen food in the centre of the turntable and close the  
door.

(
)] by following the times and instructions in the chart.  
Always use oven gloves to take out the crusty  
plate, as will become very hot.  
Use only recipients that are microwave-safe.  
2. Brush the plate with oil if you are cooking food, such as  
bacon and eggs, in order to brown the food nicely.  
Please note that the crusty plate has a teflon layer  
which is not scratch-resistant. Do not use any  
sharp objects like a knife to cut on the crusty plate.  
Use plastic accessories to avoid scratches on the  
surface of the crusty plate or remove the food from  
the plate before cutting  
3. Place the food on the crusty plate.  
Do not place any objects on the crusty plate that  
are not heat-resistant; e.g. plastic bowels.  
Never place the crusty plate in the oven without  
turntable.  
4. Place the crusty plate on the metal rack(or turntable) in the  
microwave.  
5. Select the appropriate cooking time and power.  
Refer to the table on the next page.  
How to clean the Crusty Plate  
Clean the crusty plate with warm water and detergent and rinse  
off with clean water.  
Do not use a scrubbing brush or a hard sponge otherwise the top  
layer will be damaged.  
Please Note  
The crusty plate is not dishwasher-safe.

Cooking Guide  
Cooking Guide for frozen vegetables  
Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Cook covered for the minimum time - see  
table. Continue cooking to get the result you prefer.  
Stir twice during cooking and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after  
cooking. Cover during standing time.  
MICROWAVES  
GB  
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water,  
fat and sugar content. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move  
rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting  
heat cooks the food.  
COOKING  
Cookware for microwave cooking:  
Food  
Portion Power  
Time  
(min.)  
Standing Instructions  
Time  
(min.)  
Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum  
efficiency.  
Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium and  
copper, but they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as  
well as paper and wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.  
Foods suitable for microwave cooking:  
Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen  
vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard,  
soups, steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a  
microwave oven. Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food  
that would normally be prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for  
example (see the chapter with tips, techniques and hints).  
Covering during cooking  
It is very important to cover the food during cooking because evaporated water  
rises as steam and contributes to the cooking process. Food can be covered in  
different ways: e.g. with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling  
film.

Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Add 30-45 ml cold water (2-3 tbsp.) for  
every 250 g unless another water quantity is recommended - see table. Cook  
covered for the minimum time - see table. Continue cooking to get the result you  
prefer. Stir once during and once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after  
cooking. Cover during a standing time of 3 minutes.  
Rice :  
Use a large glass pyrex bowl with lid - rice doubles in volume during  
cooking. Cook covered.  
After the cooking time is over, stir before standing time and salt or  
add herbs and butter.  
Remark: the rice may not have absorbed all water after the cooking  
time is finished.  
Hint:  
Cut the fresh vegetables into even sized pieces. The smaller they  
are cut, the quicker they will cook.  
Pasta :  
Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of salt and  
stir well. Cook uncovered.  
All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power(850W).  
Stir occasionally during and after cooking. Cover during standing  
time and drain thoroughly afterwards.

Cooking Guide (continued)  
REHEATING  
REHEATING LIQUIDS  
GB  
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional  
ovens hobs normally take.  
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been  
switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if  
necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and  
possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and  
stir before, during and after heating.  
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide.  
The times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to  
+20°C or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7°C.  
Arranging and covering  
REHEATING BABY FOOD  
Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry  
out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more  
successful.  
BABY FOOD:  
Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after reheating!  
Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the temperature.  
Recommended serving temperature: between 30-40°C.  
Power levels and stirring  
Some foods can be reheated using 850 W power while others should be reheated  
using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.  
Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower  
power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up  
very quickly (mince pies, for example).  
BABY MILK:  
Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a baby’s  
bottle with teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated.  
Shake well before standing time and again before serving ! Always carefully  
check the temperature of baby milk or food before giving it to the baby.  
Recommended serving temperature: ca. 37°C.  
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir  
again before serving.  
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive  
boiling of liquids and possible scalding , stir before, during and after heating.  
Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a  
plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore  
spoiling) the food.  
REMARK:  
Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent  
burns. Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for  
reheating.  
It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if  
necessary.  
Heating and standing times  
When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time  
taken - for future reference.  
Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.  
Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even  
out. The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless  
another time is recommended in the chart.  
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter  
with the safety precautions.

DEFROSTING  
GB  
Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently  
defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if  
unexpected guests suddenly show up.  
All frozen food should be defrosted using the defrosting power level  
(180 W,  
Food  
).  
Portion Time  
(min.)  
Standing Instructions  
Time  
Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal  
ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.  
(min.)  
Meat  
Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over halfway, drain off any liquid  
and remove any giblets as soon as possible.  
Minced beef  
Place the meat on a flat  
ceramic plate.

500g  
6-7  
13-14  
5-25  
Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm.  
If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be  
shielded by wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during  
defrosting.  
Shield thinner edges with  
aluminium foil.  
Turn over after half of  
defrosting time!  
Pork steaks  
7½-8½  
250g  
Poultry  
Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to  
stand for 20 minutes before continuing.  
Leave the fish, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting. The  
standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity  
defrosted. Please refer to the table below.  
Chicken  
pieces  
First, put chicken pieces skin-  
side down, whole chicken  
breast-side-down on a flat  
ceramic plate. Shield the  
thinner parts like wings and  
ends with aluminium foil. Turn  
over after half of defrosting  
time!

Hint:  
Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less  
time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and  
defrosting food.  
Fish  
For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to - 20 °C, use the  
following table as a guide.  
Fish fillets/  
Whole fish  
Put frozen fish in the middle of  
a flat ceramic plate.
