Although the manual is not very comprehensive, the machine works really well. I love the fact you can disengage the turntable for larger dishes - that is a big plus for a combi microwave fan. I have written a recipe book for combis and bought this one for my son. He loves it. The first dish - roast beef - was an absolute triumph in next to no time! It saves an awful lot of fuel if used properly. This Samsung combi microwave is great value for money!
