Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Potter's Wheel Café' in Stoke-on-Trent found their domestic microwave was causing bottlenecks during their busy lunch service. They upgraded to the Samsung FS317 commercial microwave to handle the volume and increase their speed of service.
"We needed something that was both powerful and incredibly simple for all our staff to use. The Samsung FS317 is a brilliant piece of kit. It’s cut down our heating times massively, and the queue moves so much faster now. It just works, no fuss."
Maria Evans – Café Manager
The upgrade resulted in them serving customers over 25% faster during peak hours, dramatically improving customer satisfaction.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a flat, stable work surface that can comfortably support the microwave's weight (36.5kg).
- Ensure there's at least 20cm of space above and 10cm at the back and sides for proper air circulation.
- Simply plug the fitted 13A plug into a standard UK mains socket. No electrician needed!
- Before first use, give the interior a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe out any spills inside the microwave as soon as they happen to prevent them from baking on.
- Regularly remove the ceiling plate/roof liner and wash it in warm, soapy water to remove grease.
- Clean the door seals and the surfaces they touch daily to ensure a tight seal and efficient operation.
- Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and appropriate cleaner to keep it looking smart.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I stack two of these Samsung FS317 microwaves on top of each other?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Samsung FS317 is specifically designed to be stackable, allowing you to double your output without using any extra counter space.
Q: What is the largest size container that can fit inside?
A: The 26-litre cavity is designed to comfortably hold a 2/3 size Gastronorm pan (non-metallic), making it very versatile for a professional kitchen.
Q: Does this microwave require special electrical installation?
A: No, it comes fitted with a standard 13 amp, 3-pin plug. You can plug it into any standard UK socket, making setup incredibly simple.
Q: Why doesn't it have a turntable like a domestic microwave?
A: Commercial microwaves use a flatbed and a top-down energy distribution system. This heats food more evenly, allows for larger, rectangular dishes, and removes a moving part that could break.
Q: Is this model suitable for constant, heavy use all day?
A: Yes, this is a heavy duty manual microwave. It's built with a robust stainless steel chassis and high-quality components designed for the rigours of a commercial environment.
Q: How do you clean the roof of the microwave interior?
A: It features a removable roof liner. You can easily take it out, wash it thoroughly in the sink, and pop it back in for excellent hygiene.
Q: Are the manual dial controls difficult to use accurately?
A: Not at all. The dial is clear and simple, designed for speed. For reheating, exact second-by-second precision is less important than raw power and speed, which this dial provides.
Q: Is the internal light bright enough to see the food cooking?
A: Yes, it uses a modern, energy-efficient LED lamp which provides bright, clear illumination so you can check on progress without opening the door.
The Samsung Standard: Reliability for the Real World
When you choose a commercial kitchen microwave from Samsung, you're investing in more than just steel and wattage; you're buying into a legacy of electronic excellence and engineering built for relentless use. Unlike domestic appliances, the FS317 is engineered from the ground up to withstand the heat, grease, and constant operation of a professional kitchen. This focus on durability translates directly to your bottom line through reduced downtime and fewer service calls. The beauty of the FS317 lies in its purposeful simplicity—it's a tool, not a toy. Its reliability ensures that your service runs smoothly, your staff can work efficiently, and your customers get consistently hot food, day in, day out. That's the real-world value that goes far beyond a spec sheet.
Explore more from SamsungWhy a Flat Base Beats a Turntable in a Pro Kitchen
Ever wondered why this commercial kitchen microwave doesn't have a spinning plate? It’s a deliberate design choice for professional use. Instead of a turntable, it uses a flat base (or 'stirrer' system) that distributes microwave energy from the top. Think of it like a fixed shower head that sprays water over a whole area, rather than a single rotating sprinkler. This allows you to use the entire floor of the microwave, fit in square or rectangular Gastronorm dishes, and get a more consistent, even heat without any moving parts that could break or need cleaning. It's a simple, more robust solution for the demands of a busy kitchen.
Who Should Buy This?
- Bustling Cafés: Ideal for rapidly heating paninis, jacket potatoes, and portions of soup for the lunchtime rush.
- Pubs & Small Restaurants: A reliable unit for reheating sauces, desserts, or sides without occupying precious oven space.
- Convenience Stores & Forecourts: Perfectly suited for heating pies, pasties, and hot snacks for customers needing a quick bite.
- Office Canteens & Staff Rooms: A robust, simple-to-use solution for staff to heat their lunches day in, day out.
