Maintenance
Check out our tips to prevent many common issues and extend the life of your Samsung Oven.
Safety Precautions
Always observe Safety Precautions when using your oven. Never try to repair the oven on your own – there is dangerous voltage inside. If the oven needs to be repaired, call 1-800-SAMSUNG for the name of an authorized service center near you.
Preventing Damage
Never operate the oven without food or water in it as this may result in damage to the magnetron tube or energy-absorbing glass tray. A cup of water left in the oven when it is not in use will safely absorb this energy if the oven is accidentally turned on.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles or spilled liquids stick to oven walls and in-between seal and door surfaces. This material will absorb microwaves and reduce the efficiency of the oven. Wipe up spills immediately with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
Avoiding Microwave Leakage
Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
Proper Handling and Setup
Place the oven on a flat, sturdy surface and plug the cord into a grounded outlet. Make sure there is adequate ventilation for your oven by leaving at least four inches of space behind, above, and to the side of the oven.
