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.  
Important  
Note  
Caution  
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.  
In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:  
GB  
*
*
*
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.

11. Keep the inside of the oven clean.  
3. This microwave oven has to be positioned so that plug is  
accessible.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

MICROWAVES  
Food  
Portion Power Time  
Standing  
Instructions  
GB  
(min.) Time(min.)  
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:  
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).

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.

Cooking Guide(continued)  
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:

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

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)

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.
