Safety Precautions
You have just purchased a SAMSUNG microwave oven. Your Owner’s
Instructions contain much valuable information on cooking with your
microwave oven:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Before cooking food or liquids in your microwave oven, please check
that the following safety precautions are taken.
1. DO NOT use any metallic cookware in the microwave oven:
GB

•
Safety precautions
Suitable accessories and cookware
Useful cooking tips
•
•
•
Metallic containers
Dinnerware with gold or silver trimmings
Skewers, forks, etc.
Inside the cover you will find a quick look-up guide explaining four
basic cooking operations:
Reason
:
Electric arcing or sparking may occur and may damage the oven.
2. DO NOT heat:
•
•
•
•
Cooking food
Auto Power Defrosting of food
Grilling food
•
•
Airtight or vacuum-sealed bottles, jars, containers
Ex) Baby food jars
Airtight food.
Ex) Eggs, nuts in shells, tomatoes
Adding extra cooking time
Reason: The increase in pressure may cause them to explode.
Tip: Remove lids and pierce skins, bags, etc.
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.
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 step-by-step procedures use three different symbols.
The water will absorb the microwaves if you accidentally set the oven
going when it is empty
.
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.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
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.
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure to
microwave energy.
(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.
(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.
(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:
7. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
•
•
•
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
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.
•
•
(1) Door, door seals and sealing surfaces
(2) Door hinges (broken or loose)
(3) Power cable
•
•
A risk of delayed eruptive boiling exists.
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.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than a properly
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer.
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.

Safety Precautions(continued)
Installing Your Microwave Oven
Place the oven on a flat, level surface that strong enough to safely bear
the weight of the 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.
•
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.
NEVER heat a baby’s bottle with the teat on, as the bottle may explode if
overheated.

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.
☛
Never block the air vents as the oven may overheat and
automatically switch itself off. It will remain inoperable until it has
cooled sufficiently.
☛
☛
For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 230 Volt,
50Hz, AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 install the microwave oven in hot or damp surroundings
like next to a traditional oven or radiator. The power supply
specifications of the oven must be respected and any extension
cable used must be of the same standard as the power cable
supplied with the oven. Wipe the interior and the door seal with a
damp cloth before using your microwave oven for the first time.

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.
WARNING:
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been
repaired by a competent person.
WARNING:
It is hazardous for anyone other than a comperent person to carry out any service or
repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against
exposure to microwave energy.
WARNING:
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable
to explode.
WARNING:
Only allow children to use the oven without supervicion when adequate instructions
have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and
understands the hazards of improper use.

Cookware Guide
To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to
penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish
used.
Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the
cookware is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.

(min.) Time(min.)
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat

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:
Cooking Guide for rice and pasta
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.
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 add salt or
add herbs and butter.
Remark: the rice may not have absorbed all water after the cooking
time is finished.
Food 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).
Pasta
:
Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of salt and stir
well. Cook uncovered.
Stir occasionally during and after cooking. Cover during standing time
and drain thoroughly afterwards.
Covering during cooking
To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises as
steam and contributes to cooking process. Food can be covered in different ways: e.g.
with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.

REHEATING
GB
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.
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens
hobs normally take.
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
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.
Hint:
Cut the fresh vegetables into even sized pieces. The smaller they are
cut, the quicker they will cook.
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).
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.
It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if necessary.
All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power (850 W).

GRILL
GB
The grill-heating element is located underneath the ceiling of the cavity. It operates
while the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The turntable's rotation makes the
food brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 4 minutes will make the food brown
more quickly.
IMPORTANT REMARK:
Whenever the combination mode (microwave + grill) is used, make sure that the grill
heating element is under the ceiling in the horizontal position and not on the back-wall
in the vertical position. The food should be placed on the high rack, unless another
instruction is recommended. Otherwise it has to be placed directly on the turntable.
Please refer to the instructions in the following chart.
Cookware for grilling:
Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic cookware,
as it can melt.
The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides.

Storing and Repairing Your Microwave Oven
Wiring Instructions
A few simple precautions should be taken when storing or having your
microwave oven serviced.
The oven must not be used if the door or door seals are damaged:
WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing
reduces the risk of electric shock providing an escape wire for the electric current. The
appliance is equipped with a mains lead which includes an earth wire for connecting to
the earth terminal of your mains plug. The plug must be plugged into a socket that is
properly installed and earthed.
GB
•
•
•
Broken hinge
Deteriorated seals
Distorted or bent oven casing
☛
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Only a qualified microwave service technician should perform repair
•
•
•
Green-and yellow
Blue
Brown
: Earth
: Neutral
: Live
☛
☛
☛
NEVER remove the outer casing from the oven. If the oven is
faulty and needs servicing or you are in doubt about its condition:
•
•
Unplug it from the wall socket
Contact the nearest after-sales service centre
☛
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings indentifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows.
If you wish to store your oven away temporarily, choose a dry,
dust-free place.
Reason: Dust and damp may adversely affect the working parts in
the oven.
☛
☛
Connect the green-and yellow wire to the terminal in the plug marked with the
letter E or the earth symbol ( ) or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured
black.
This microwave oven is not intended for commercial use.
☛
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if in doubt
about any of these instructions.
Installation & Wiring Instructions
The manufacturer of this oven will not accept any liability for
damage to persons or material for non observance of these
requirements.
IMPORTANT NOTE :
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a mouldedplug incorporating a fuse.
The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug and, if it requires replacing,
a fuse approved to BS1363 of the same rating must be used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a
replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the
plug.
There are no user+serviceable parts inside the oven and if the
mains lead of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced
by qualified service personnel approved by the manufacturer
because special tools are required.
Replacement covers are available from your Dealer. If the fitted plug is not suitable for
the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point,
you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your Dealer for
assistance. However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse
and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains socket, as
there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.
WARNING
Ensure that the plug and power cord are not damaged
before use.
If you have any reason to remove the moulded plug
from this appliance, immediately remove the fuse and
dispose of the plug.
Do not connect the plug to a mains socket under any
circumstances as there is a danger of electric shock.
CIRCUITS
Your microwave oven should be operated on a
separate circuit from other appliances. Failure to do this
may cause the circuit breaker to trip, the fuse to blow,
or the food to cook more slowly.

Cooking Instructions On Food Packaging
Technical Specifications
Microwave Symbols
SAMSUNG strives to improve its products at all times. Both the design
specifications and these user instructions are thus subject to change
without notice.
GB
On the front of your oven there is a microwave oven symbol, as shown below.
This symbol has been introduced for your benefit when cooking or reheating packaged
food.
Model
CE283DN
Power source
230V ~ 50 Hz
Packaged food is also, increasingly, using a microwave symbol similar to the one
below.

Cooking Instructions
Cooling method

The IEC Power Output rating is an internationally standardised rating, so all microwave
manufacturers now use the same method of measuring power output.
If food packaging gives cooking instructions based on IEC Power ratings, set cooking
times according to the IEC Power of your oven.
Dimensions (W x H x D)
Outside
489 x 275 x 398 mm
330 x 211 x 329 mm
Oven cavity
Volume
23 liter
For example :
If the cooking instructions are based on a 650W oven, then you will need to reduce
some cooking time for the CE283DN (850W)
Ready meals are now very convenient and popular. These are meals which are
already prepared and cooked by the food manufacturer, and then frozen, chilled or
vacuum sealed for long life.
Weight
Net
15 kg approx
Increasingly, heating times for such ready meals are being based on the Heating
Categories A, B, C, D and E.
On this instance, simply match the heating category of your oven to the instructions on
the food package, and set your timer accordingly.
For example :
If the heating instructions are 3 minutes on HIGH for a D category oven, then you will
need to set your timer for less than 3 minutes on HIGH for the CE283DN (E category).
☛
Always remember that cooking instructions are intended only as a
guide. If you have followed the instructions and the food is still not
piping hot throughout, simply return it to the oven and cook it until
it is.
