IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE
WARNING : To prevent fire, burns, electric
shock and other warnings:
Listed below are, as with all appliances,
certain rules to follow and safeguards to
assure high performance from this oven:
1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than food
preparation, such as for drying clothes, paper, or any
other nonfood items or for sterilizing purposes.
2. Do not use the oven when empty, this could damage
the oven.
3. Do not use the oven cavity for any type of storage,
such as papers, cookbook, cookware, etc.
4. Do not operate the oven without the glass tray in
place. Be sure it is properly sitting on the rotating
base.
KOR-6S3BK_KOR663VWBUB015UB00(영)_A5.indd 2 16. 9. 1. 오후 6:05

5. Make sure you remove caps or lids prior to
cooking when you cook food sealed in bottles.
6. Do not put foreign material between the oven
surface and door. It could result in excessive
leakage of microwave energy.
7. Do not use recycled paper products for cooking.
They may contain impurities which could cause
sparks and/or fires when used during cooking.
8. Do not pop popcorn unless popped in a
microwave approved popcorn popper or unless
it's commercially packaged and recommended
especially for microwave ovens. Microwave
popped corn produces a lower yield than
conventional popping; there will be a number of
unpopped kernels. Do not use oil unless specified
by the manufacturer.
9. Do not cook any food surrounded by a
membrane, such as egg yolks, potatoes, chicken
livers, etc., without first piercing them several
times with a fork.
10. Do not pop popcorn longer than the
manufacturer's directions. (popping time is
generally below 3 minutes). Longer cooking does
not yield more popped corn, it can cause
scorchings and fire.
Also, the cooking tray can become too hot to
handle or may break.
11. If smoke is emitted, switch off or unplug the
appliance and keep the door closed in order to
stifle any flames.
12. When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of
ignition.
13. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars
shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature
checked before consumption, in order to avoid
burns.
14. Always test the temperature of food or drink which
has been heated in a microwave oven before you
give it to somebody, especially to children or
elderly people. This is important because things
which have been heated in a microwave oven
carry on getting hotter even though the
microwave oven cooking has stopped.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
15. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should
not be heated in microwave ovens since they may
explode, even after microwave heating has ended;
16. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. Wipe the
oven interior with a soft damp cloth after each use. If
you leave grease or fat anywhere in the cavity it may
overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using
the oven.
17. Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as you cannot
control the temperature and doing so may lead to
overheating and fire.
18. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing
to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from
the microwave oven is not always present. THIS
COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR
OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a) Do not overheat the liquid.
b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it
c) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks.
d) After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
19. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
20. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave
ovens.
21. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed
eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when
handling the container.
22. This appliance is intended to be used in household and
similar applications such as:
- staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments;
- farm houses;
- by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type
environments;
- bed and breakfast type environments.

This appliance must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
earthing wire with an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and earthed.
INSTALLATION
EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING : Improper use of the earthing plug can result in a risk
of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
earthing instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as
to whether the appliance is properly earthed. If it is necessary to use an
extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
earthing plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
3. Leave space behind and side
All air vents should be kept a clearance. If all vents are covered during
operation, the oven may overheat and, eventually, oven failure.
4. Away from radio and TV sets
Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is
located close to a TV, Radio antenna, feeder and so on. Position the
oven as far from them as possible.
5. Away from heating appliance and water taps
Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or Splash when choosing a
place to position it, or the insulation might be adversely affected and
breakdowns occur.
6. Power supply
• Check your local power source. This oven requires a current of
approximately 6 amperes, 230V 50Hz.
• Power supply cord is about 0.8 meters long.
• The voltage used must be the same as specified on this oven. Using a
higher voltage may result in a fire or other accident causing oven
damage. Using low voltage will cause slow cooking. We are not
responsible for damage resulting from use of this oven with a voltage of
ampere fuse other than those specified.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or a similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a

CARING FOR YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of
the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly
result in a hazardous situation.
1. Turn the oven off before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids
adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used
if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not
recommended.
3. The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap and water, rinsed
and dried with a soft cloth.
To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should
not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
Ensure all food deposit are cleaned off, as they can carbonized if left.
4. If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use
harsh detergents or abrasives on Control Panel.
5. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe
with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated
under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates malfunction of the
unit.
6. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash
the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
7 The roller guide and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid
excessive noise.
Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent water or
window cleaner and dry.
The roller guide may be washed in mild sudsy water.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
KOR-6S3BK_KOR663VWBUB015UB00(영)_A5.indd 15 16. 9. 1. 오후 6:06
*Q : Can I run the microwave empty?
*A : .This will damage it. If the microwave is operated empty, the excess energy
will be absorbed and focused at the weakest point of the cavity or door,
potentially causing door melting/ arcing. The energy will not normally focus at
this point with a normal amount of food material in the cavity. Low load items
are items of food that contain little or no liquid.
* Q : Can the oven be used with the glass tray or roller guide removed?
* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must always be used in the oven
before cooking.
* Q : Can I open the door when the oven is operating?
* A : The door can be opened anytime during the cooking operation. Then
microwave energy will be instantly switched off and the time setting will
maintain until the door is closed.
* Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven after cooking?
* A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven is normal. It is caused by
steam from cooking food hitting the cool oven surface.
* Q : Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?
* A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the oven cavity. The holes
are made to allow light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass
through.
*Q : Why do eggs sometimes pop?
*A : When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up
inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a
toothpick before cooking. Never cook eggs without piercing their shells.
* Q : Why this standing time recommended after the cooking operation has
been completed?
* A : Standing time is very important. With microwave cooking, the heat is in the
food, not in the oven. Many foods build up enough internal heat to allow the
cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the oven.
Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside
to cook completely, without overcooking the outside.
*Q : What does "standing time" mean?
*A : “Standing time” means that food should be removed from the oven and covered
for additional time to allow it to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other cooking.
* Q : Why does my oven not always cook as fast as the microwave cooking guide
says?
* A : Check your cooking guide again, to make sure youʼve followed directions exactly ;
and to see what might cause variations in cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat
settings are suggestions, to help prevent over-cooking... the most common problem in
getting used to a microwave oven.
Variations in the size, shape and weights and dimensions could require longer cooking
time. Use your own judgement along with the cooking guide suggestions to check
whether the food has been properly cooked just as you would do with a conventional
cooker.
* Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates while empty?
*A : Yes. Never run it empty.
*Q : Ca n I operate my microwave oven without turntable or turn the turntable over
to hold a large dish
* A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will get poor cooking results.
Dishes used in your oven must fit on the turntable.
* Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction?
* A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the
rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle begins.
* Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I get the best results?
* A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufactureʼs guidelines. Do
not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening test” by stopping the oven as soon as
the popping slows to a “pop” every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels.
Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to
penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used.
Care must therefore be taken choosing the utensil. If the utensil is marked
microwave-safe, you do not need to worry.
The following table lists various utensil and indicates whether and how
they should be used in a microwave oven.

USE YOUR MICROWAVE
OVEN SAFELY
General Use
Food ARCING
If you see arcing, press the STOP/CLEAR button and correct the problem.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven.
Arcing is caused by:
• Metal or foil pressing the side of the oven.
• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).
• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold rimmed dishes, in the
microwave.
• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the
microwave.
Do not attempt to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.
Do not place any object between the oven front frame and the door or allow residue
to build up on sealing surfaces. Wipe with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never
use abrasive powders or pads.
Do not subject the oven door to strain or weight such as a child hanging on an
open door.
This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury to you and damage to
the oven.
Do not operate the oven if door seals or sealing surfaces are damaged; or if door is
bent; or if hinges are loose or broken.
Do not operate the oven empty. This will damage the oven.
Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may
catch on fire.
Do not use recycled paper products as they may contain impurities which may
cause sparks or fires.
Do not hit or strike the control panel with hard objects. This can damage the oven.
Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It is better to undercook rather
than overcook foods.
Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for more cooking. If food is
overcooked, nothing can be done.
Heat small quantities of food or foods with low moisture carefully. These can
quickly dry out, burn or catch on fire.
Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up and eggs can explode.
Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages are examples of food with non-
porous skins.
These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been
switched off to allow the temperature to even out, stir during heating, if
necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and
possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and
stir before, during and after heating.
Do not leave the oven unattended while popping corn.
Do not pop corn in a paper bag unless it is the commercially prepared
Microwave Popcorn product. The kernels can overheat and ignite a brown
paper bag.
Do not put packaged Microwave Popcorn bags directly on the oven tray. Place
the package on a microwave safe glass or ceramic plate to avoid overheating
and cracking the oven tray.
Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn manufacturers suggested popping time.
Longer popping does not yield more popcorn but it can result in scorch, burn of
fire. Remember, the Popcorn bag and tray can be too hot to handle. Remove
with caution and use pot holders.
Ensure all food deposits are cleaned off, as they can carbonize if left.

MICROWAVING PRINCIPLES
Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since
early experiments with RADAR in World War ll. Microwaves are present in the
atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmade sources. Manmade
sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.
Microwave oven is a Group 2 ISM equipment in which radiofrequency energy is
intentionally generated and used in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the
treatment of material. This oven is a Class B equipment suitable for use in
domestic establishments and in establishments directly connected to a low voltage
power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
CONVERSION CHARTS
HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD
The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate which causes
FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This heat then cooks the food. Microwaves are also
attracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods high in these will cook more
quickly.
In a microwave oven, electricity is converted into
microwave by the MAGNETRON.
The microwaves bounce off the metal walls and
the metal door screen.
Then they pass through the cooking containers
to be absorbed by the water molecules in the
food, all foods contain water to a more or lesser
extent.

STANDING TIME
Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require standing
time(inside or outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow heat to finish
conducting to cook the centre completely. Wrap meat joints and jacket
potatoes in aluminium foil while standing. Meat joints need approx. 10-15
minutes, jacket potatoes 5 minutes. Other foods such as plated meal,
vegetables, fish etc require 2-5 minutes standing. After defrosting food,
standing time should also be allowed. If food is not cooked after standing
time, return to the oven and cook for additional time.
MOISTURE CONTENT
Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in their moisture content
throughout the season, particularly jacket potatoes. For this reason cooking
times may have to be adjusted. Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry out
during storage so cooking times may differ.
DENSITY
Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods.
CLING FILM
Cling film helps keep the food moist and the trapped steam assists in
speeding up cooking times. Pierce before cooking to allow excess steam to
escape. Always take care when removing cling film from a dish as the build-
up of steam will be very hot.
SHAPE
Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by microwave when in a round
container rather than square.
SPACING
Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart. NEVER pile foods on
top of each other.
COOKING TECHNIQUES
STARTING TEMPERATURE
The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge takes
longer to reheat than food at room temperature.
LIQUIDS
All liquids must be stirred before and during heating. Water especially must
be stirred before and during heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heat liquids
that have previously been boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT.
TURNING & STIRRING
Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and poultry should be
turned after half the cooking time.
ARRANGING
Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a dish so
that the thicker parts are towards the outside.
QUANTITY
Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat
more quickly than large portions.
PIERCING
The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up during
cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeled off
before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples,
sausages etc, will all need to be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.
COVERING
Cover foods with microwave cling film or a lid. Cover fish, vegetables,
casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes or pastry
items.
