Tips for choosing the best Samsung grill microwave ovens. Operating instructions, user manuals for products from manufacturers of all brands Benefits of Samsung microwave ovens

Someone still considers the microwave oven an unnecessary attribute of luxury, but for many it has become simply an irreplaceable companion in life. After all, this household appliance eliminates the need to stand all day at the stove and is able to cook exclusively according to the instructions of the hostess.

Cooking in the microwave is not carried out by heating the air, as when cooking on a traditional stove, but by exposing the water molecules in the food to microwaves. Thus, it is not the surface of the product that heats up, but its entire volume. But water, as you know, cannot be heated above 100 degrees, so this temperature is the maximum for any product heated in a microwave oven.

With centigrade heating, foods retain more nutrients, but their taste does not turn out to be as rich as those cooked in a conventional oven. Due to the more gentle heating, pieces of meat, cheese, biscuits do not look as appetizing and ruddy as those prepared in the traditional way. That is why microwave ovens are designed primarily for quick heating of ready-made meals and defrosting food.

To get the opportunity to cook dishes with an appetizing, golden brown crust and bring their taste closer to the usual, manufacturers began to equip microwave ovens with grills. A grill is a heater that can reach very high temperatures. And where there is heating, there are completely different aromas and tastes, where the dishes turn out to be more tasty and appetizing in appearance.

The grill significantly expands the capabilities of the microwave oven and allows you to cook crispy dishes in it. It is a heating element that emits infrared radiation with a specific intensity and a specific wavelength.

In microwave ovens, I use two types of grills - heating elements and quartz. Heating element Is a metal tube that heats up to maximum temperature in about 3 minutes. A quartz grill is also a tube, but only glass, and inside it is a wire made of an alloy of nickel and chromium. A quartz grill reaches its maximum temperature in one minute.

But grills differ not only in their design. Much more important is that they are heated to different temperatures: heating element - up to 650 degrees, and quartz - up to 800. In addition, a quartz grill emits radiation with a shorter wavelength, but with a greater intensity of exposure to food. Therefore, this type of grill is fried faster, and the food is much tastier. At the same time, due to the high temperature, all impurities burn out on the surface of a quartz grill during its operation, therefore it is much easier to clean such a heating element than a heating element.

Grills are usually located at the top of the cooking compartment. The products to be processed are positioned below them. The heat generated by the heating element grill is directed both down and up, which reduces its efficiency and gives such an undesirable effect as heating the "ceiling". The quartz grill has a reflective lid that directs heat downward, directly onto the food.

Microwave grills are used in many different ways. The most common option is combined mode. In this mode, the microwave-emitting magnetron is switched on alternately with the grill. The duration of each cycle depends on the settings made to the oven. The mode can be with a predominance of grill or, conversely, microwave radiation. The combination mode speeds up the cooking process and, most importantly, makes the taste of food brighter and more familiar. The grill can also be turned on solo. Microwave radiation is not used in this mode.

Benefits of Samsung Microwave Ovens

The South Korean brand produces highly functional microwave ovens equipped with all the necessary options for preparing a variety of dishes.

Among the main advantages, I would like to highlight:

  • wide functionality;
  • ease of use;
  • easy cleaning from all kinds of dirt;
  • modern stylish design and ergonomics;
  • light weight.

Samsung Microwaves are able to determine the best cooking mode for any mealto make it as delicious as possible. This is primarily due to the so-called triple microwave distribution system. Stoves from other manufacturers usually only use one antenna that emits waves.

Samsung models have three microwave sources. In addition to the main aperture antenna, two more auxiliary (slot) antennas are installed. They are located symmetrically relative to the main one. Food during cooking in such a microwave warms up evenly from all sides. This has a positive effect on its taste, and also contributes to the preservation of useful substances.

The quality of food cooked in Samsung microwave ovens is also improved by such a function as automatic detection of food moisture. Oven sensors, having received this information, determine the optimal cooking or heating mode. Thanks to this, the food will warm up well, but it will not dry out.

The microwave is known to be used to defrost food. Samsung stoves have a special function that allows you to perform this procedure in an accelerated mode. Products thawed in this mode do not lose their smell or taste. Moreover, they do not even need to be moistened before this process, unlike normal defrosting.

The inner walls of the working chambers of Samsung microwave ovens are covered with bioceramics. This material is very durable and does not harm food. In addition, drops of fat practically do not adhere to the bioceramic coating, which greatly simplifies the maintenance of the oven.

Criterias of choice

When choosing a microwave oven, you should be guided by such criteria as:

  • working chamber volume;
  • microwave and grill power;
  • grill type;
  • control method;
  • design and additional options.

Each of these criteria, to one degree or another, affects the final cost of a microwave oven: some are less, others are more. Therefore, if you want to save money, you need to approach the problem of choice in a comprehensive manner. At the same time, one should not think that it is necessarily bad.

A single person or a family consisting of two people does not need a large microwave oven at all, since it will be operated by 25-50 percent, and you will have to pay a lot for it. In this case, experts recommend stoves with a volume of up to 20 liters. For a family of 3-4 people, you should find a 20-35 liter microwave. Anything above is for large families and at a fairly high price.

The higher the power, the faster the microwave will cook and heat., and the lower, the slower. But this does not mean that in the first case it will be necessary to wait a minute, and in the second - an hour. Of course, the time difference is not that big. therefore it is best to choose the "golden mean" - microwave ovens with a capacity of 800-850 watts.

According to the control method, microwave ovens are divided into 2 categories: with mechanical and electronic control. The first option is the simplest, but also the most reliable. Handles break much less frequently than buttons or touch switches. Besides, mechanically controlled microwave ovens are cheaper.

As for the design, it should be understood that the more unusual the appearance of the stove, the more expensive it will cost. When choosing a microwave, you should consider the design of your kitchen and not to chase the exotic, throwing money down the drain. The same can be said about additional options. Modern manufacturers like to equip their devices with various "gadgets". But one must clearly understand: each additional option entails an inevitable rise in the cost of the entire device.

Samsung FG 77 SSTR

Microwave Samsung FG 77 SSTR belongs to the category of built-in kitchen appliances. It has an affordable price and high functionality. It can be used to prepare a wide variety of culinary products or to defrost food.

Samsung FG 77 SSTR has a grill, which can be used alone or in combination with microwaves, which provides ample opportunities for the realization of culinary abilities. In this microwave there is also an automatic defrosting mode, with which you can very quickly prepare frozen food for baking. In addition, there are a number of preset programs for auto-cooking your favorite meals.

The oven is equipped with a system for uniform distribution of microwaves, which allows you to ideally heat the dish from all sides. The end of the heating or defrosting cycle is indicated by an audible signal, and the illumination of the working chamber allows you to control the cooking process without interrupting the operation of the device.

The model is presented in a stylish silver case. The inner surface of the working chamber is covered with bioceramic enamel. Thanks to this coating, the stove will always look like new. After all, bioceramics is a very strong and durable coating. It won't scratch or crack and is very easy to clean.

Functionality Samsung FG 77 SSTR provides three heating modes, four built-in recipes, odor removal option, child lock. As an additional accessory, the oven comes with a special dish for crispy crust.

The main advantages, in my opinion, include:

  • the presence of automatic programs that allow you to quickly and efficiently prepare various dishes without human intervention;
  • ease of operation and management;
  • bioceramic coating of the working chamber;
  • practical and stylish design;
  • availability of self-cleaning and odor removal options;
  • affordable cost.

Among the shortcomings, I want to note:

  • lack of convection mode;
  • impossibility of automatically maintaining the set cooking temperature.

Samsung FG 87SSTR

Compact microwave oven Samsung FG 87SSTR with a working chamber volume of 23 liters is a highly efficient modern kitchen equipment and is the best gift for a practical housewife. Convenient use of the unit is provided by convenient control buttons and a display.

The maximum microwave power of Samsung FG 87SSTR reaches 800 W, and the maximum power of the built-in grill is 1100 W. The microwave can be operated in microwave, grill or microwave + grill combination. The latter allows you to significantly speed up the preparation of any dish. The oven also has program settings for automatic cooking, reheating ready meals or defrosting food.

The Samsung FG 87SSTR microwave is equipped with a three-dimensional wave distribution system. This technology ensures an even distribution of microwaves in the working chamber and significantly improves the quality of cooking any dish. Food, thanks to this system, warms up evenly and quickly.

The inner surfaces of the working chamber of this model are covered with a layer of bioceramic. This material, unlike others, does not crack under the influence of high temperatures and does not absorb fat. Therefore, cleaning the chamber does not take much time and effort. Besides, the device supports the function of odor removal and steam cleaning

I think the main advantages are:

  • a large selection of operating modes;
  • the presence of a self-cleaning system;
  • the ability to turn off the sound signal;
  • high power ratings of microwaves and grill;
  • affordable cost.

Among the disadvantages are:

  • impossibility of memorizing your own recipes;
  • impossibility of programming the cooking process;
  • lack of convection mode.

conclusions

After a detailed examination of the Samsung FG 77 SSTR and FG 87SSTR models, the following conclusions can be drawn:

  • both models have excellent functionality, with which you can quickly reheat lunch or dinner, defrost food from the freezer or prepare an appetizing dish with a crispy crust. Both ovens have a small chamber volume, therefore, they are intended primarily for small families;
  • microwave oven Samsung FG 77 SSTR Unlike FG 87SSTR has a slightly higher microwave and grill power, as well as a special dish for crispy crust. The first model is controlled by sensors, and the second by buttons. At the same time, the FG 87SSTR costs a little more, which can be considered a slight drawback.

Observations show that our compatriots have divided into two unequal camps in their attitude to microwave ovens. The overwhelming majority were those who use the microwave only to heat up ready-made meals (in extreme cases, to defrost food). Many users, even years after purchasing a microwave oven, remain unaware of all of its documented capabilities.

In the minority are those who use microwaves to the fullest: they are aware of the built-in programs, they know when to use the grill, and when to use convection, etc. In our today's review - a multifunctional microwave oven presented by Samsung (MC28H5013). We decided to figure out how wide the capabilities of such a device are, and how rational it is to use the microwave as a replacement for more traditional kitchen appliances.

Equipment

The microwave oven is delivered in a box, made in a strict color scheme: on a cardboard background, images and text are printed in black, from which the user can familiarize themselves with the basic functions of the microwave oven.

Judging by this "Spartan" design, the box is not intended to be displayed on a showcase, but its purpose is exclusively functional: to keep the device intact until it is unpacked. In addition to thick cardboard, foam inserts are used to protect the oven.

Opening the box, inside you can find:

  • the oven itself;
  • two grills for frying (high and low);
  • instructions (aka a recipe book);
  • warranty card.

The kit also includes standard items such as a glass tray and a rotating ring underneath. In general, as we can see: everything you need is here, and there is nothing superfluous.

Inner coating material

The inner walls of the chamber are covered with bioceramic enamel, which, according to the manufacturer, is bacteria-resistant, easy to clean, scratch-resistant and will last 10 years.

In the lower part there is a heat-resistant plastic element, on which a rotating ring and a glass tray are mounted. The inner surface of the door is heat-resistant glass, seal, metal. The door mechanism has built-in interlocking contacts that will not allow either to turn on the oven with the door open, or to pause any cooking mode when it is opened during cooking.

Control

The appearance of the microwave oven can also be called classic: it is a white rectangular parallelepiped with a glass door with a black metal mesh and a control panel at the front and a steel surface at the back. The oven opens in a classic way for microwaves: you need to pull the door handle.

The control is carried out using a flat panel, in the upper part of which there is a display, in idle mode intended to show the current time, when the mode is selected, it displays the parameters already entered, and when the device is operating, it shows the time remaining until the end of cooking (as well as the set temperature in the mode convection). In addition to numbers, icons are shown on the display.

During operation, the microwave chamber is illuminated, so you can watch the cooking process of your dish. However, the backlight cannot be called too bright, so you need to be prepared for the fact that at first you will have to periodically look inside to check the readiness of the dish. Moreover, this will have to be done much more often if cooking takes place on the upper rack, when the dish with the products is poorly visible.

It is only partially possible to understand the control of Samsung MC28H5013 without reading the instructions. It is easy to set the time, start the heating mode, convection or combined mode (microwave + grill / microwave + convection). For all other modes and programs, an instruction will be required, which contains explanations regarding what exactly is covered under a particular program number.

The microwave oven is controlled by 17 buttons, with which you can set one of the possible operating modes (time, power, cooking method), or select a program for automatic cooking of a particular dish. For defrosting, you may also need to specify the weight of the food. The buttons are easy to press, and each press is accompanied by a beep. Each button contains a pictogram and a text explanation in Russian. The only drawback is the lack of backlighting. In low light conditions, as well as when the device is installed above or below eye level, you often have to look closely in order to see the inscriptions.

Let's list these buttons and give a brief explanation:

  • Russian Cuisine, Home Recipes - select the number of a preset program designed for cooking a certain dish from the recipe book, section "Russian Cuisine";
  • Healthy eating - selection of a preset program number designed for the preparation of a certain dish from the recipe book, section "Healthy food" (cooking cereals and pasta, vegetables, fish and chicken);
  • Fermentation (dough / yoghurt) - selection of the program number for proving different types of dough, as well as for making homemade yoghurt;
  • Convection - selection of convection mode (from 40 to 200 degrees, up to 60 minutes);
  • Grill - select the "grill" mode (up to 60 minutes);
  • Microwave - selection of cooking time and power (from 100 to 900 watts);
  • Quick defrost - you will need to indicate the type of product and its weight;
  • Microwave + Grill / Microwave + convection - selection of the appropriate combined mode (with setting the microwave power and convection temperature);
  • Control blocking;
  • Tray rotation - (on / off);
  • Eliminate odors - microwave self-cleaning mode;
  • Clock - setting the time

There are also “More” / “Less” buttons, a “Select” button, a “+30 sec” button, a “Start” button and a “Stop” stop button, which also serves to transfer the device to power saving mode.

As we already said, it is recommended to read the instructions before using. In this case, it is advisable to view all sections at least "diagonally", and not just the one that describes the procedure that the user wants to use at the moment.

Despite the fact that there are quite a few functions, it is difficult to get confused in them: to perform most of the actions, it is enough to strictly follow the instructions given in the instructions.

The microwave power level ranges from low to high. As usual, the manufacturer gives a table expressed in watts, which hints that depending on the selected mode, the power really changes. However, the results of our measurements cast doubt on this assumption: in the microwave mode, power consumption always had only 2 gradations: maximum and minimum.

The range of temperatures set for convection is from 40 to 230 degrees (in 10 steps). This is an excellent spread that allows you not only to cook traditional dishes, but also to experiment with cooking at low temperatures (including manually setting the dough proving mode if the desired one was not found in the preset programs).

Instruction and recipe book

The 44-page manual contains detailed information regarding all issues that may arise during the use of the device. Here you can find recommendations regarding the choice of dishes, advice on which stand it is better to cook this or that dish, how best to defrost this or that product, etc.

The instruction also includes a recipe book containing 60 recipes in the "Russian cuisine" section, 15 recipes in the "Healthy food" section, as well as 3 dough recipes (pizza, cake, bread) and a yogurt recipe (for the corresponding modes), 10 recipes for grilling, instructions on how to cook fresh and frozen vegetables, how to cook rice and pasta, instructions for reheating baby food, and even special tips for melting butter or candied honey, icing or browning almonds. It is easy to calculate that even if you cook each of the above dishes once, then such a diet will be enough for several months of varied nutrition.

Exploitation

Preparation for use

It is recommended to install the oven free-standing on a flat horizontal surface at a height of at least 85 cm from the floor, providing a gap of at least 20 cm at the top and 10 cm at the back. Obviously, a stationary place should be allocated for the tested unit: moving the furnace from place to place is a rather laborious task. Before using it for the first time, it is recommended to wipe the oven with a damp cloth and remove the internal components and door seal.

The manufacturer also recommends setting the clock before use. This will not affect the quality of food preparation, moreover, every time the power is disconnected, the clock will be reset. Unfortunately, this stove does not have a non-volatile memory, so in case of a power outage, the clock will have to be set again, and it will not be possible to continue the execution of a previously started program.

Microwave care

All accessories - grates, baking sheet and glass disc - are easy to clean in the dishwasher. The body and glass door are wiped with a damp cloth with detergent; the manufacturer strongly discourages the use of abrasives and solvents.

If there is stubborn dirt, it is recommended to boil a glass of water inside the appliance. There is also a special Odor Removal program designed to remove smoke and steam from the microwave after cooking has finished.

Testing

Objective tests

In the heating rate test, 500 ml of water with a temperature of 20 ° C is poured into a standard GOST half-liter jar, after which it is heated for a certain amount of time in microwave mode at maximum power and then, after stirring, the water temperature is measured again. The test results you can see in the table.

We also measured the energy consumption of the microwave oven in various operating modes. Here we (except for the sleeping mode) give the average values \u200b\u200brounded up to tens, which is quite consistent with both the accuracy of the equipment used and the meaning of the requirements that can be imposed on such tests.

Test dishes

We decided to prepare the following as test dishes:

  • Defrosting a test sample of minced meat.
  • Baked potatoes in grill + microwave mode.
  • Grilled tomatoes in grill + microwave mode.
  • Chicken in Chinese.
  • Omelet.
  • Lemon balls.
  • Poached egg.

Defrosting minced meat

As a test sample, the minced meat Nikolay weighing 800 grams, which is already familiar to the readers of iXBT from previous testing, was made, consisting of lean beef in half with medium-fat pork. The minced meat was frozen in a rounded lump.

The device has been set to the “Fast defrost” mode, the “Meat” program and the weight is set to 800 grams. The built-in program decided that a little over 12 minutes would be enough for our piece of minced meat. After some time (about 4 minutes), the Samsung oven (MC28H5013) emitted a signal, after which the minced meat had to be turned over. At this point, visually, the minced meat almost did not begin to thaw. After 12 minutes, we took out our dough mince and checked how much it had defrosted.

The result did not please us: only the upper part (1.5-2 centimeters in depth) was thawed, while the central part remained frozen. It should be noted here that the developer "insured" himself against such a case and added that after the completion of the "Quick defrost" program, the product should be left for 20-90 minutes. We appreciated this “knight's move”, but as a result, a slight feeling of bewilderment remained: what kind of “quick defrosting” is this, if it can take almost two hours?

Grilled potatoes + microwave

According to the recipe, the potatoes need to be cut in half and then cooked on a high stand at 600 W + grill for 7-8 minutes. Quite a simple recipe. We took medium sized potatoes and followed the instructions exactly.

Result: Edible, but not overly tasty. The inside of the potato appeared to be boiled, while the top was barely browned by the grill. For our taste, it would make sense to cook such a dish at a lower microwave power and keep it under the grill for longer.

Grilled Tomatoes

After experimenting with potatoes, we decided to test another recipe from the "Grill" section and opted for tomatoes with cheese. Tomatoes must be cut in half, sprinkled with cheese on top and laid out on a flat heat-resistant glass dish. Cook on 300 W + grill for 5-6 minutes, then let stand for 2-3 minutes.

The result turned out to be approximately the same as in the case of potatoes: the cheese, of course, melted and slightly fried, but the halves of the tomatoes were hardly distinguishable from the raw ones and looked more like "warmed up". Well, after the dish cooled down, the difference was completely invisible.

Chicken in Chinese

It is worth noting that this recipe initially assumed chicken wings, for lack of which we used chicken drumstick. For the marinade, it was supposed to take 0.3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 0.3 cups of honey, 2 tbsp. l. dry white wine, the same amount of vegetable oil, a clove of garlic and a little grated ginger.

Pre-marinated chicken pieces are cooked on a low rack using a preset program from the “Russian cuisine, homemade recipes” set. The result was quite satisfactory: the chicken was baked evenly and turned out to be very tasty. No complaints.

Omelet

Another recipe from "Russian Cuisine" is an ordinary omelet. Three eggs, 30 grams of milk, salt. Whisk and cook directly on the plate using the appropriate program.

The result is below average. At the end of the automatic program, the omelet turned out to be frankly raw, I had to bring it to readiness manually. In addition, the bottom of the omelet was stuck to the plate, which was not very convenient to eat.

Lemon balls

Lemon balls (another recipe for "Russian cuisine") are made from 100 grams of flour, 60 grams of butter, 40 grams of sugar, one and a half egg yolk, as well as a small amount of lemon zest and powdered sugar.

They are prepared in two stages: first, the dough is mixed and balls are formed, which are cooked before the microwave signal. After that, the balls must be greased with egg yolk, sprinkled with powdered sugar and continue cooking. The result: a feeling of confusion. The balls didn't taste much different from regular inexpensive cookies. Quite a lot of time was spent, and the resulting portion would hardly satisfy even two people. Does it make sense to start cooking at all to get five cookies (mini-muffins)?

Rice

Rice is washed, then poured with water in a ratio of 1: 2 (250 g of rice per 500 ml of water) and cooked for about 17 minutes at maximum power in a pan with the lid closed.

Result: the rice was cooked perfectly. The impression was somewhat spoiled by the fact that boiling water seeped under the lid and poured out onto the rotating circle of the microwave.

Poached egg

When we started preparing this dish, we were initially set for failure. A poached egg is not the easiest dish, but here it is also supposed to be cooked on an automatic program.

According to the recipe, you need to take 300 ml of water and add 10-15 ml of 15% vinegar there. A bowl of water should be placed in the microwave, bring the water to a boil (the microwave itself will give a signal at the right time), then stir the water until a funnel appears, drive a broken egg into it and cook until the end of cooking (that is, until the oven signal, and not before the program expires).

Result: great. We were frankly surprised at how well the program worked. Even a small amount of water boiled over the edge of the bowl did not darken our impression.

conclusions

Testing the Samsung Microwave Oven with Grill and Convection (Model MC28H5013) was very educational for us. Since the capabilities of the device are quite wide, we were able to try it in a variety of qualities. Well, the presence of a large number of recipes made it possible not to think about what exactly you can cook in it.

As a result, we were convinced that a microwave oven can serve as a complete replacement for an oven for a small family. All the declared functions work correctly, so that the microwave oven can be used equally successfully both for heating and for cooking. The presence of convection and grill, as well as the ability to combine modes, open up additional options in the case when you need to get a golden brown crust or treat the product with hot air. Also, the oven allows you to defrost food, make yoghurts and proof dough before baking.

The stove is easy to operate (however, you still have to read the instructions), reliable and convenient to use. The quality of materials and workmanship was also on the level. Perhaps the only thing that we did not like was the quality of the recipes given and the programs corresponding to them. None of the above dishes inspired us enough to make us want to re-cook it (except, perhaps, poached eggs). The “quick defrost” mode also proved to be ineffective: if you intend to use a microwave oven for this task, you will have to spend some time choosing the appropriate mode.

In general, you should not expect a "miracle" feeling, similar to the one that appeared to many when they first met the multicooker (you just need to cut the ingredients, and she cooks herself!).

In the case of a microwave oven (at least Samsung MC28H5013) such trick not pass. You will have to "get used to" this device, just like you have to get used to the peculiarities of a particular oven or hob. Otherwise, the Samsung MC28H5013 is a high-quality and multifunctional kitchen appliance that justifies its price.

Lost instructions?


Instructions and manuals for household appliances and electronics, computers, smartphones, cars, music and other equipment ... Hundreds of thousands of instructions for all types of technical devices for various purposes for your attention!

You can find and download the necessary operating instructions in Russian for free and without registration, or read online, create your own list of instructions on this site for remote access (if you have registration).


For the convenience of users, the archive is divided into categories by types of technical devices.

An easy way to find the manual you need is simply to enter the model name in the search field. If there is no result, try to split the abbreviation into parts, that is, put spaces between letters and numbers and press the search button again. Often, the same model is designated differently by the manufacturer itself, for example, in the printed user manual, spaces and dashes may be present, but not on the device itself.


Do not forget the main rule, which is usually spelled out at the very beginning of the document: "read this user manual before using the device ...", and this is true - this prerequisite will help, not only to keep the equipment in good condition for many years of operation, but also thoroughly understand all the features and functions for its full use.

One of the world's leading brands in the production of household appliances, Samsung, delighted its consumers with the breadth of the model range and types of microwave ovens. Among all the variety, you can find the following devices:

  • microwave ovens with convection;
  • grill devices;
  • microwave ovens of the "premium" series;
  • simple household appliances class "economy".

Thanks to this, we can safely say that every 5th kitchen is equipped with a Samsung microwave oven. The way the devices are operated will naturally depend on its type. According to the control method, the furnaces are divided into:

  • Digital. Typically, such devices contain an electronic display and control buttons. These are devices of the middle price category.
  • Analog. They usually have a manual power switch and a timer.
  • Sensory. Premium microwave ovens. They only have one touchpad. It is easy to operate with one touch. Such devices are more expensive than the previous two, but they have their own advantages.

Instructions

So, in order to handle a microwave oven, it is important to read the annotation to the user, which indicates not only the basic requirements for operation, but also various recommendations that contribute to a longer service life. Consider the options for handling each of the presented types of furnaces, after which we will determine the basic recommendations for use.

Digital

We decided that these are furnaces, the control of which is push-button. They are quite comfortable and have several operating modes. In addition, the digital display may already contain separate buttons for preparing various dishes. As a result, you do not need to set the power or the cooking time yourself. The electronic board displays the basic information necessary in the cooking process.

Analog

The cheapest version of Samsung ovens, however, for all their simplicity, they are of sufficient quality. Manual control prevents system errors from occurring. As a rule, working with such a furnace is quite simple. First you need to turn on the device to the network. Moreover, not all models have an on indicator, so its operation is checked after the timer is turned on. The knob is scrolled for the required time interval, after the timer has scrolled in the opposite direction, as the food is being cooked, the oven will beep, in such devices it is an analog bell. The power regulator most often has 4 modes:

  • defrosting food;
  • low power;

These are not just microwave ovens, they are “smart” devices that can not only heat and cook, but also self-clean. Samsung technology is rich in innovation. Thanks to this, today there are models in production that are capable of self-cleaning with steam. For this there is a special command on the taskbar. Before using this function, you should read the instructions. As a rule, it is recommended to empty the oven chamber before cleaning so that no dishes or large food residues are left there. After that, you need to enable the function. After some time, the technician will "report" the end of cleaning with a sound signal. Then all that remains is to wipe the camera with a clean cloth.

But that's not all, Samsung's touchscreen models have a large enough display that can show various information. This can be an indication of time (hours), temperature and power mode, an indicator of air humidity, malfunctions, etc. It is quite convenient to use the machine with such a display. In case of malfunction, it will show? What is the reason, contributing to its faster elimination.

In order to start using the touch-sensitive microwave, you must clean it of the transport protection. Attention! Films and polypropylene pads are completed not only on top of the case, but also inside the chamber. Therefore, you need to be careful, before use, clean the camera from foreign objects, and also wipe it with a clean cloth. This is necessary in order to remove from the walls the factory impregnation, which is used in various household appliances. The oven can then be used.

For all types of Samsung microwave ovens, there is a whole set of recommendations that are important to follow for the normal operation of the equipment:

  1. The oven should only be installed on a flat, hard surface. Installation on soft fabric materials is not allowed.
  2. The distance from the wall or other perpendicular plane must be at least 20 cm.
  3. The top and sides of the microwave oven must be open. If it fits in a special niche, it should also have holes for steam to escape.
  4. Do not place any metallized items in the microwave oven: dishes, cups, foil, etc. Even the use of dishes with a gilded pattern is not allowed.

In conclusion, it remains to add that reading the instructions for household appliances is the first way to avoid premature breakdown and use an excellent means for heating and cooking for a long time.
