• Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, a separation distance of 20 cm or more
should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device
operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not
recommended.
WARNING : Any changes or modications to this unit not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
2. IC Notice

WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
• Plug into a grounded, 3 pronged outlet. Do not remove the third (grounding)
prong. Do not use an adaptor or otherwise thwart the safety function of the
grounding plug.
• Consult a qualied electrician or service person if you do not understand
the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly
grounded.
• We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance. If the
power-supply cord is too short, have a qualied electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the appliance. However, if it is necessary to use an extension
cord, read and follow the 'Use of Extension Cords' section below.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of your becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords
are available and you can use them if you exercise care. If you use a long cord or
an extension cord:
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 icker and the
speed of the blower may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times
may be longer too.
19. Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not inserted into the
microwave oven as they may cause a re or risk of electric shock.
20. Do not clean the microwave with a metal scouring pad. A piece of metal could
come off the pad, contact electrical parts, and cause an electric shock.
21. Do not put paper products into the oven when you are operating it in the
toaster mode.
22. Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's recommended
accessories, in this oven when not in use.
23. Do not cover the racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil.
This will cause the oven to overheat.
CAUTION
1. Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on the hood of the lter.
2. When aming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
3. Use care when cleaning the vent-hood lter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as
lye-based oven cleaner, may damage the lter.
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.

Important safety instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a grease re on the surface units below the microwave oven,
smother the aming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely
with a lid, a cookie sheet, or a at tray.
Never leave surface units beneath your microwave oven unattended at high
heat settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite
and spread if the vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation,
use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when
necessary.
If materials inside the microwave oven should ignite, keep the oven door
closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at
the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is opened, the re may spread.
Use of inadequately sized cookware on top of the stove may result in
melting of microwave door or other damage.
• Always observe safety precautions when using your microwave oven.
Never try to repair the oven on your own. There is dangerous voltage
inside. If the oven needs to be repaired, contact an authorized service
center near you.
Do not attempt to repair, disassemble, or modify the appliance yourself.
• Because a high voltage current enters the product chassis during
operation, opening the chassis can result in electric shock or re.
• You may be exposed to electromagnetic waves.
• If your microwave oven requires repair, contact your nearest Samsung
service center.
If any foreign substance such as water enters the microwave, unplug it, and
then contact your nearest service center.
• Failing to do so may result in electric shock or re.
INSTALLATION CAUTIONS
Position the oven so that the plug is easily accessible.
• Failing to do so may result in electric shock or re due to electric leakage.
Unplug the oven when it is not being used for long periods of time or during
a thunder/lightning storm.
• Failing to do so may result in electric shock or re.
CRITICAL USAGE WARNINGS
If the microwave appliance is ooded, please contact your nearest Samsung
service center. Failing to do so may result in electric shock or re.
Read and follow the specic 'Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure
to Excessive Microwave Energy', found in the beginning of this Safety
Information Section.
If the microwave generates a strange noise, a burning smell or smoke,
unplug it immediately and contact your nearest Samsung service center.
• Failing to do so may result in electric shock or re.
In the event of a gas leak (propane gas, LP gas, etc.), ventilate the room
immediately. Do not touch the microwave, power cord, or plug.
• Do not use a ventilating fan.
• A spark may result in an explosion or re.
Take care that the door or any of the other parts do not come into contact
with your body while the microwave is cooking or just after cooking.
• Failing to do so may result in burns.

CRITICAL CLEANING
INSTRUCTIONS
Do not clean the appliance by spraying water directly onto it.
Do not use benzene, thinner, or alcohol to clean the appliance.
• This may result in discoloration, deformation, damage, electric shock, or re.
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, unplug the appliance from the wall
socket. Then, remove food waste from the door and cooking compartment.
• Failing to do so may result in electric shock or re.
Take care not to hurt yourself when cleaning the appliance.
(external/internal)
• You may hurt yourself on the sharp edges of the appliance.
Do not clean the appliance with a steam cleaner.
• This may result in corrosion.
Keep the inside of your microwave oven clean. Food particles or spattered oils
stuck to the oven walls or oor can cause paint damage and reduce the efciency
of the oven.
Do not put your face or body close to the appliance while it is cooking or
when opening the door just after cooking.
• Take care that children do not come too close to the appliance.
• Failing to do so may result in children burning themselves.
Do not place food or heavy objects over the door.
• When you open the door, the food or object may fall and this may result
in burns or injury.
Do not abruptly cool the door, the inside of the appliance, or the dish by
pouring water over it during or just after cooking.
• This may result in damage to the appliance. The steam or water spray
may result in burns or injury.
Do not cook without the glass tray in place on the oven oor. Food will not
cook properly without the tray.
Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles. The containers
can break.
Do not scratch the glass of your microwave oven door with a sharp object.
• This may result in the glass being damaged or broken.
Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance when it is in
operation.
Do not use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids before use. Sealed
containers can explode due to buildup of pressure even after the oven has
been turned off.
