IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: WARNING WARNING To reduce risk of burns, electric shock, fire, personal injury or exposure to excessive microwave energy: 1. Read all safety instructions before using the appliance. 2. Read and follow the specific “Precautions to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy” on this page. 3. This appliance must be grounded.
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. WARNING WARNING Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. • Plug into a grounded 3 pronged outlet.
INSTALLATION CAUTIONS Position the oven so that the plug is easily accessible. • Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire due to electric leakage. 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 fire. • You may be exposed to electromagnetic waves. • If the oven requires repair, contact your nearest Samsung service center.
CAUTION USAGE CAUTIONS If the surface of the microwave is cracked, turn it off. • Failing to do so may result in electric shock. Dishes and containers can become hot. Handle with care. Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Carefully remove container coverings, directing steam away from your hands and face. Remove lids from baby food before heating. After heating baby food, stir well to distribute the heat evenly. Always test the temperature by tasting before feeding the baby.
