To prevent unnecessary overheating, ensure that there is adequate ventilation for your microwave oven. Leave at least 10cm of space behind and on the sides of the oven, and at least 20cm of space on top. Samsung recommends placing your microwave oven on an open table or benchtop to provide the best possible ventilation.

Suggestions to Avoid Overheating:

  • When using your microwave oven, avoid selecting the maximum power setting for extended periods. Instead, consider adjusting the cooking power based on your desired cooking time and food type.
  • For example, if your microwave oven has a power rating of 800W and you select a cooking time of 10 minutes using the instant/fast select button(s), the microwave will cook the food for the full duration at 800W.
  • However, if you set the cooking power to 50% and select a cooking time of 10 minutes, the microwave will operate at 400W (half of the maximum power) for the entire cooking duration, reducing the risk of overheating.

These measures can help prevent your microwave oven from overheating and ensure safe and efficient operation. If you continue to experience issues, please seek assistance from Samsung’s service center Dubai.
