(treated for high intensity heat):
utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim. METAL CONTAINERS:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil trays. Metal containers can cause arcing, which can damage the microwave oven. CHINA:
bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without metallic trim. METAL DECORATION:
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the oven. PLASTIC:
Plastic wrap (as a cover)- lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food. As the food heats it may melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches the food. Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags only for short cooking time. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food. PAPER:
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins, and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturer's label for use in the microwave oven. Note:
Do not use recycled paper products in the microwave oven. They sometimes contain impurities that cause arcing and sparking. ALUMINUM FOIL:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side walls and door of the oven. WOOD:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the same way. TIGHTLY COVERED COOkWARE:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered containers. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches could explode. BROWN PAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb too much heat and could burn. FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:
Any container that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the oven. METAL TWIST TIES:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They become hot and could cause a fire. MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS 13 Paper Paper plates and containers are convenient and safe to use in the microwave oven, provided that the cooking time is short and foods to be cooked are low in fat and moisture. Paper towels are also very useful for wrapping foods and for lining baking trays in which greasy foods such as bacon are cooked. In general, avoid colored paper products as the color may run. Some recycled paper products may contain impurities which could cause arcing or fires when used in the microwave. Plastic Cooking Bags Provided they are made specially for cooking, cooking bags are microwave safe. Remember to make a slit in the bag so that steam can escape. Never use ordinary plastic bags for cooking in the microwave oven, as they will melt and rupture. Plastic Microwave Cookware A variety of shapes and sizes of microwave cookware are available. You may be able to use items you already have on hand rather than investing in new kitchen equipment. Pottery, Stoneware, and Ceramic Many containers made of these materials are microwave-safe, but test them before use. CAUTION Some items with high lead or iron content are not suitable for microwave cooking. Cookware should be checked to ensure that it is suitable for use in the microwave. Microwave-Safe Cookware Never use metal or metal trimmed cookware when using microwave function Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off any metal object in the oven and cause arcing, an alarming phenomenon that resembles lightning. Most heat resistant non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your oven. However, some may contain materials that render it unsuitable as microwave cookware. If you have any doubts about a particular container, there's a simple way to find out if it can be used in the microwave. Testing Cookware before Use Place the container in question next to a glass bowl filled with water inside the oven. Microwave at HIGH power for 1 minute. If the water heats up but the container remains cool to the touch, the container is microwave-safe. However, if the water does not change temperature but the container becomes warm, microwaves are being absorbed by the container and it is not safe for use in the microwave oven. See the following list for tips on using common items when microwave cooking. Tableware Many dishes are microwave-safe. If in doubt consult the manufacturer's literature or perform the microwave test. Do not put plates with painted decoration in the oven, as the paint may contain metal and cause arcing. Glassware Glassware that is heat-resistant is microwave-safe. This includes all brands of oven tempered glass cookware. Do not use delicate glassware, such as tumblers or wine glasses, as these might shatter as when heated. Plastic Storage Containers Use these only for quick reheating of food. Do not use them when cooking food for long periods or at high power levels, as the hot food will eventually warp or melt the plastic. 14 MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS Microwave Cooking Tips keeping an Eye on Things Always watch your food while it cooks. The light inside the microwave oven turns on automatically when the oven is cooking so you can monitor the cooking process. Directions given in recipes to elevate, stir, and the like should be thought of as the minimum steps recommended. If the food seems to be cooking unevenly, simply make the necessary adjustments you think appropriate to correct the problem. Factors Affecting Microwave Cooking Times Many factors affect cooking times. The temperature of ingredients used in a recipe makes a big difference in cooking times. For example, a cake made with ice-cold butter, milk, and eggs will take considerably longer to bake than one made with ingredients that are at room temperature. Some recipes, particularly those for bread, cake, and custards, recommend that food be removed from the oven when they are slightly undercooked. This is not a mistake. When allowed to stand, usually covered, these foods will continue to cook outside of the oven as the heat trapped within the outer portions of the food gradually travels inward. If the food is left in the oven until it is cooked all the way through, the outer portions will become overcooked or even burnt. Practice will improve your ability to estimate both cooking and standing times for various foods. Density of Food Light, porous food such as cakes and breads cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods such as roasts and casseroles. You must take care when microwaving porous food so that the outer edges do not become dry and brittle. Height of Food The upper portion of tall foods, particularly roasts, will cook more quickly than the lower portion. Therefore, it is wise to turn tall food several times during cooking. Moisture Content of Food Because the heat generated from microwaves causes moisture to evaporate, relatively dry food such as roasts and some vegetables should either be sprinkled with water prior to cooking or covered to retain moisture. Bone and Fat Content of Food Bones conduct heat and fat cooks more quickly than meat. Care must be taken when cooking bony or fatty cuts of meat in order to prevent unevenly cooked or overcooked meat. Quantity of Food The number of microwaves in your oven remains constant regardless of how much food is being cooked. Therefore, the more food you place in the oven, the longer the required cooking time. Remember to decrease cooking times by at least one third when halving a recipe. Shape of Food Microwaves penetrate only about 3/4 of an inch (2 cm) into food. The interior portion of thick foods is cooked as the heat generated on the outside travels inward. Only the outer edge of food is cooked by microwave energy; the rest is cooked by conduction. The worst possible shape for a food that is to be microwaved is a thick square. The corners will burn long before the center is even warm. Round thin foods and ring-shaped foods cook most successfully in the microwave. Covering A cover traps heat and steam which causes food to cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave cling film with a corner folded back to prevent splitting. Covering with Parchment Paper Parchment paper (not waxed paper) is microwave safe. Because it makes a looser cover than a lid or clingfilm, greaseproof paper allows the food to dry out slightly. Stirring Stirring is one of the most important of all microwaving techniques. In conventional cooking, food is stirred for the purpose of blending. Microwaved food, however, is stirred in order to spread and redistribute heat. Always stir from the outside towards the centre as the outside of the food heats first. Placing Thicker Portions Facing Outward Place thicker cuts or portions of meat, poultry, and fish toward the outer edge of the baking dish so they absorb the most microwave energy and the food cooks more evenly. Shielding Strips of aluminium foil (which block microwaves) can be placed over the corners or edges of square and rectangular foods to prevent those portions from overcooking. Never use too much foil and make sure the foil is secured to the dish or it may cause arcing in the oven especially if the foil passes too closely to the walls of the oven during rotation. Elevating Thick or dense foods can be elevated so that microwaves can be absorbed by the underside and center of the foods. Piercing Foods enclosed in a shell, skin or membrane are likely to burst in the oven unless they are pierced prior to cooking. Such foods include yolks and whites of eggs, clams, oysters, potatoes, and other whole vegetables and fruits. Testing if Cooked Microwaves cook food quickly, so test food for doneness frequently. Some foods are left in the microwave until completely cooked, but most foods, including meats and poultry, should be removed from the oven while still slightly undercooked and allowed to finish cooking during standing time. The internal temperature of foods will rise between 5 F (3 C) and 15 F (8 C) during standing time. Standing Time Foods are often allowed to stand for 3 to 10 minutes after being removed from the oven. Usually the foods are covered during standing time to retain heat unless they are supposed to be dry in texture. Standing allows foods to finish cooking and also helps flavors blend and develop. MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS 15 Precautions Place the front surface of the door three inches or more from the countertop edge to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven during normal use. To program the oven, make sure you touch the center of each pad firmly since the areas between the pads will not activate the oven. A tone will sound each time a pad is touched correctly. Dont touch several pads at once. Do not strike the control panel with silverware, utensils, etc. Breakage may occur. Always use caution when taking cookware out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and may be hot. See Cookware Guide earlier in this section for more information. Do not rinse containers by placing them in water immediately after cooking. This may cause breakage. Also, always allow the turntable to cool before removing it from the oven. Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or water should always be in the oven during operation to absorb the microwave energy. Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes. They may catch fire. Use thermometers that have been approved for microwave oven cooking. The turntable must always be in place when you operate the oven. Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it to burst. There are several precautions to follow when microwaving popcorn:
Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe container or commercial packages designed for microwave ovens. Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag that is not microwave-approved. Overcooking may result in smoke and fire. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not reuse popcorn bags. Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops. Do not leave microwave unattended while popping corn. Follow directions on bag. CAUTION To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, do not run oven while it is empty. Interrupting Cooking Stop the oven during a cycle by opening the door. The oven stops heating and the fan stops, but the light stays on. To restart cooking, close the door and touch START. To stop cooking and clear the remaining cook time, open the door and touch Clear. Child Lock Use this safety feature to lock the control panel and prevent the oven from being turned on when cleaning the oven or to prevent children from unsupervised use of the oven.

It guides you, step by step, to reheat or cook popular food items automatically using preprogrammed settings. Categories :
1. Sensor Cook 2. Sensor Reheat 3. Popcorn The Sensor system works by detecting the built up steam. Make sure the door remains closed. Opening the door or touching the STOP/Clear key before the steam is detected will stop the process and the oven. Before using sensor cooking, make sure the exterior of the reheating container and the interior of the oven are dry, to assure the best results. Sensor Cooking Guide Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good sensor cooking results. Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook. Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor. Sensor Cook The Sensor Cook menu has preprogrammed settings to automatically cook certain foods. Select the correct category for your item using the Sensor Cook chart on the next page, enter the amount, then press START and the oven automatically cooks the item. 1 Open the oven door. Press Clear. 2 Press Sensor Cook repeatedly to select a food category. For example, press until Sc-2 appears in the display to cook fresh vegetables. 3 Close the oven door. Press START.

After defrosting, let stand for 1 - 2 minutes. 24 OPERATION Defrosting Tips When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds
(the weight of the food minus the container). Before starting, remove the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands. Open containers such as cartons before they are placed in the oven. Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging. If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place the food in a suitable container. Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage. Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting. Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more defrosting. The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen. The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block. As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces Separated pieces defrost more easily. Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining. For better results, let food stand after defrosting.
(For more information on standing time, see the Microwave Cooking Tips section.) Turn over food during defrosting or standing time Break apart and remove food as required. Weight Conversion Table Most food weights are given in pounds and ounces. If using pounds, food weights must be entered into Auto Defrost in pounds and tenths of pounds
(decimals). Use the following table if necessary to convert food weights to decimals. Equivalent Weight OUNCES 1.6 3.2 4.8 6.4 8.0 9.6 11.2 12.8 14.4 16.0 DECIMAL WEIGHT

Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook. Place foods in a shallow container or in a microwave roasting dish to catch the drippings. Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven. The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen. The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block. Depending on the shape of the food, some areas may defrost more quickly than others. For best results, shape ground meat into the form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting. SMART DIAGNOSIS Using the Smart Diagnosis Function Should you experience any problems with the oven, it has the capability of transmitting data via your telephone to the LG Customer Information Center. 1 Call the LG Customer Information Center at 1-800-243-0000 (U.S.). 2 When instructed to do so by the call center agent, hold the mouthpiece of your phone over the Smart Diagnosis logo on the control panel. Max. 1"
(10 mm) SMART DIAGNOSIS 25 3 Open the oven door. Press and hold the Clear button for 8 seconds, until "5" appears in the display. Release the button and audible transmission tones start sounding. 4 Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished. The display will count down the time. 5 Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with the call center agent, who will then be able to assist you in using the information transmitted for analysis. NOTE For best results, do not move the phone while the tones are being transmitted. If the call center agent is not able to get an accurate recording of the data, you may be asked to try again. NOTE Do not touch any other buttons. NOTE Abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can damage the control panel and the interior and exterior oven surfaces. To clean the glass tray and rotating ring, wash in mild, sudsy water. For heavily soiled areas use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge. The glass tray and rotating ring are dishwasher safe. Glass Tray Rotating Ring Shaft 26 MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Caring for the Microwave Oven Interior Food spatters or spilled liquids stick to oven walls and between the seal and door surfaces. Although the oven interior has an antibacterial coating, it is best to wipe up spillovers with a damp cloth right away. Crumbs and spillovers will absorb microwave energy and lengthen cooking times and may even damage the oven. Use a damp cloth to wipe out crumbs that fall between the door and the frame. It is important to keep this area clean to assure a tight seal. Remove greasy spatters with a soapy cloth then rinse and dry. Do not use harsh detergent or abrasive cleaners. Anti-bacterial claim based on internal testing with e-coli and Staphylococcus bacteria, showing coating prevents 99.99 % of bacterial growth on the surface of the cavity of NeoChef. Exterior Disconnect the plug from the power outlet before cleaning the oven to eliminate the possibility of electric shock. Clean the outside of your oven with soap and water then with clean water and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, the water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings. To clean control panel, open the door to prevent the oven from accidentally starting, and wipe with a damp cloth followed immediately by a dry cloth. Press STOP after cleaning. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe the panels with a soft cloth. Steam or condensation buildup inside the door is normal if foods are heated for a long period on higher power levels. This is not a malfunction. The condensation will eventually evaporate. Try covering the food or varying the heating levels and time to reduce any condensation forming in the door. This may also occur when the oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit. The door and door seals should be kept clean. Use only warm, soapy water, rinse then dry thoroughly. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. TROUBLESHOOTING Frequently Asked Questions Operation Why is the oven light not on during cooking?
Make sure the cooking time has been set and the START button has been pressed. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?
Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass tray. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?
No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity. The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through. Why does a tone sound when a pad on the control panel is touched?
The tone tells you that the setting has been entered. Can my microwave oven be damaged if food is cooked for too long?
Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point that the food creates smoke and even possibly fire, and damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near the oven while you are cooking. I've plugged the oven in and it does not work properly. What is wrong?
The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when you plug the oven in for the first time or when power resumes after a power interruption. Unplug the oven from the 120 V household outlet and then plug it back in to reset the microcomputer. TROUBLESHOOTING 27 Why do I see light reflection around the outer case?
This light is from the oven light which is located between the oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven. What are the various sounds I hear when the microwave oven is operating?
The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the microwave ovens magnetron ON and OFF. The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in power the magnetron draws as it is turned ON and OFF by a mechanical switch. The change in blower speed is from the change in line voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF. Food Is it possible to pop popcorn in a microwave oven?
Yes, if using one of the two methods described below:
(1) microwave-popping devices designed specifically for microwave cooking
(2) prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that specifies the cook time and power output needed. Follow exact directions given by each manufacturer for its popcorn popping product and do not leave the oven unattended while the corn is being popped. If corn fails to pop after the suggested time, discontinue cooking. Overcooking could result in an oven fire. CAUTION Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn or attempt to pop leftover kernels. Why is a standing time recommended after microwave cooking time is over?
Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods. Why is additional time required for cooking food stored in the refrigerator?
As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a refrigerator than for food at room temperature. 28 TROUBLESHOOTING Before Calling for Service You can often correct operating problems yourself.

Your microwave oven is equipped with 10 power levels to give you maximum flexibility and control over cooking. The adjacent table will give you some idea of which foods are prepared at each of the various power levels. 8 Cook Time This function allows you to cook food for a desired time. 9 Timer On/Off Touch this key to set the timer. 10 More / Less Set cooking time and weight. Lengthen or shorten the cooking time at any point by press the key(except in defrost mode). 11 STOP / Clear Touch this key to stop the oven or to clear all entries except time of day. 12 START / Enter Touch this key to start a function, accept selections, resume cooking if the door was opened or the STOP button was pressed once. The quick start feature allows you to set 30 second intervals of HIGH power cooking with each touch of the quick start button. 12 MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS MICROWAVE COOkING TIPS Amount of Food If you increase or decrease the amount of food you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a little more than half the original cooking time. Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more time in small increments. Releasing Pressure in Foods Several foods (for example: baked potatoes, sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up under the membrane during cooking, causing the food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick. Starting Temperature of Food The lower the temperature of the food being put into the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook. Food at room temperature reheats more quickly than food at refrigerator temperature. Composition of Food Food with a lot of fat and sugar heats faster than food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar also reach a higher temperature than water during the cooking process. The more dense the food, the longer it takes to heat. Very dense food like meat takes longer to heat than lighter, more porous food like sponge cakes. Size and Shape Smaller pieces of food cook faster than larger pieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cook more evenly than different-shaped pieces. With foods that have different thicknesses, the thinner parts cook faster than the thicker parts Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in the center of the dish. Stirring and Turning Foods Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly to the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the outer edges of the food. Covering Food Cover food to:
reduce splattering shorten cooking times keep food moist Using Standing Time Always allow food to stand either in or out of the oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after defrosting and cooking allows the temperature to evenly spread throughout the food, improving the cooking results. For inside oven standing time, program a 0 power second stage of the cooking cycle. See Cooking with More than One Cook Cycle. The length of the standing time depends on how much food you are cooking and how dense it is. Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes you to remove the food from the oven and take it to the serving table. However, with larger, denser food items, the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes. Arranging Food For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You can do this in several ways:
If you are cooking several items of the same food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking. When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the smaller or thinner area of the food towards the center of the dish where it will be heated last. Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other. When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the skin to prevent cracking. Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing. MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS 13 Removing the Rack When popping commercially packaged popcorn, remove the rack and drip pan from the oven. Do not place the bag of microwave popcorn on the rack or under the rack. Leave the glass tray in place at all times. CAUTION Popping microwave popcorn with rack and drip pan in place can cause fire or damage to the microwave oven. Using Aluminum Foil Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. However, if you have purchased food which is prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on the package. When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate the exposed top of the food and not the bottom or the sides. If using aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines:
Place the aluminum foil container in a glass bowl and add water so that it covers the bottom of the container, but not more than in. (.64 cm) deep. This ensures even heating of the container bottom. Always remove the container lid to avoid damage to the oven. Use only undamaged containers. Do not use containers taller than in. (1.9 cm). Container must be at least half filled. To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum in.(.64 cm) between the aluminum container and the walls of the oven and also between two aluminum containers. Always place the container on the turntable. Shield parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg ends of poultry, with small pieces of aluminum foil. Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually takes up to double the time compared to reheating in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The cooking time will vary depending upon the type of container you use. Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so that heat is spread evenly throughout the container. Do Not Can or Sterilize in Oven Do not try to can food in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven. Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects
(baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization. 14 MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS Cooking Guide Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of food preparation options: microwave cooking. Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency radio waves. The movement of the microwaves through the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster than regular methods, while retaining their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food directly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly convenient because less time is spent in food preparation. Microwave Cooking Method Heat Source Benefits Microwave energy is distributed evenly throughout the oven for fast, thorough cooking of food. Microwave energy. Fast, high efficiency cooking. Oven and surroundings do not get hot. Easy clean-up Cookware Guide Microwave Cooking Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use in the microwave oven. oven.

Do not use popcorn popping devices in microwave oven with this feature. Do not leave microwave unattended while cooking popcorn. Directions Pop only one package at a time. For best results, use a fresh bag of popcorn. Place a bag of prepackaged microwave popcorn on the center of the glass tray. CAUTION Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn. When popping prepackaged popcorn; Place carefully so the bag does not touch the oven walls. Fold each end of the bag in half toward the center top of the bag. 22 OPERATION Defrost Four defrost sequences are preset in the oven. The defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking guide will show you which defrost sequence is recommended for the food you are defrosting. For added convenience, the defrost includes a built-
in beep alert that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange to get the best defrost results. Four different defrost settings are provided. 1 MEAT 2 POULTRY 3 FISH 4 BREAD Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat. 1 Open the Door. Press Clear. 2 Press Defrost once. dEF1 will show in the display. 3 Press + until display shows 1.2 lbs. 4 Close the Door. Press START. NOTE When you press the START button, the display changes to the defrost time count down. The oven will beep once during the DEFROST cycle. At the beep, open the door and remove any portions that have thawed and turn. Return frozen portions to the oven and press START to resume the defrost cycle. Weight Conversion Table Most food weights are given in pounds and ounces. If using pounds, food weights must be entered into Auto Defrost in pounds and tenths of pounds
(decimals). Use the following table if necessary to convert food weights to decimals. Equivalent Weight OUNCES 1.6 3.2 4.8 6.4 8.0 9.6 11.2 12.8 14.4 16.0 DECIMAL WEIGHT

Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook. Place foods in a shallow container or in a microwave roasting dish to catch the drippings. Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven. The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen. The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block. Depending on the shape of the food can be defrosted more or less. For best results, shape the ground meat into the form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting. OPERATION 23 Defrosting Tips When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds
(the weight of the food minus the container). Before starting, remove the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands. Open containers such as cartons before they are placed in the oven. Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging. If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place the food in a suitable container. Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage. Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting. Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more defrosting. The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen. The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block. As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces Separated pieces defrost more easily. Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining. For better results, let food stand after defrosting.
(For more information on standing time, see the Microwave Cooking Tips section.) Turn over food during defrosting or standing time Break apart and remove food as required. Defrost Table Category MEAT

Use this function only to contact the service representativ e, not during normal operation. 1 When instructed to do so by the call centre, hold the mouthpiece of your phone over the Smart Diagnosis logo on the controller. Max 10 mm NOTE Do not touch any other buttons. 2 With the door opened, press and continue to hold the Clear button for 3 seconds so that Loc appears on the display. Continue to hold the Clear button for a further 5 seconds until '5'
appears in the display.
(so, the Clear button will need to be held for 8 seconds continuously). A tone will then emit from behind the Smart Diagnosis symbol. 3 Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished. The display will count down the time. 4 Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with the call center agent, who will then be able to assist you in using the information transmitted for analysis. NOTE For best results, do not move the phone while the tones are being transmitted. If the call center agent is not able to get an accurate recording of the data, you may be asked to try again. MAINTENANCE 25 NOTE Abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can damage the control panel and the interior and exterior oven surfaces. To clean the glass tray and rotating ring, wash in mild, sudsy water. For heavily soiled areas use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge. The glass tray and rotating ring are dishwasher safe. Glass Tray Rotating Ring Shaft MAINTENANCE Caring for the Microwave Oven keep the inside of the oven clean Food spatters or spilled liquids stick to oven walls and between the seal and door surfaces. It is best to wipe up spillovers with a damp cloth right away. Crumbs and spillovers will absorb microwave energy and lengthen cooking times and may even damage the oven. Use a damp cloth to wipe out crumbs that fall between the door and the frame. It is important to keep this area clean to assure a tight seal. Remove greasy spatters with a soapy cloth then rinse and dry. Do not use harsh detergent or abrasive cleaners. Anti-bacterial claim based on internal testing with e-coli and staphylococcus bacteria, showing coating prevents 99.99 % of bacterial growth on the surface of the cavity of NeoChef. keep the outside of the oven clean Disconnect the mains plug from the power outlet before cleaning the oven to eliminate the possibility of electric shock. Clean the outside of your oven with soap and water then with clean water and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, the water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings. To clean control panel, open the door to prevent the oven from accidentally starting, and wipe a damp cloth followed immediately by a dry cloth. Press STOP after cleaning. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe the panels with a soft cloth. Steam or condensation build up inside the door is normal if foods are heated for a long period on higher power levels. This is not a malfunction. The condensation will eventually evaporate. Try covering the food or vary the heating levels and time to reduce any condensation forming in the door, this may also occur when the oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit. The door and door seals should be kept clean. Use only warm, soapy water, rinse then dry thoroughly. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. 26 MAINTENANCE Microwave Utensil Guide Use Do Not Use OVENPROOF GLASS
(treated for high intensity heat):
utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim. METAL CONTAINERS::
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil trays. Metal containers can cause arcing, which can damage the microwave oven. CHINA:
bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without metallic trim. METAL DECORATION:
Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the oven. PLASTIC:
Plastic wrap (as a cover)- lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food. As the food heats it may melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches the food. Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags only for short cooking time. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food. PAPER:
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins, and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturer's label for use in the microwave oven. Note:
Do not use recycled paper products in the microwave oven. They sometimes contain impurities that cause arcing and sparking. ALUMINUM FOIL:
Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side walls and door of the oven. WOOD:
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the same way. TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:
Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered containers. Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking. Tightly closed pouches could explode. BROWN PAPER:
Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb too much heat and could burn. FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:
Any container that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the oven. NEVER use paper products in the convection oven. METAL TWIST TIES:
Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags. They become hot and could cause a fire. MAINTENANCE 27 Paper Paper plates and containers are convenient and safe to use in using microwave function, provided that the cooking tome is short and foods to be cooked are low in fat and moisture. Paper towels are also very useful for wrapping foods and for lining baking trays in which greasy foods such as bacon are cooked. In general, avoid coloured paper products as the colour may run. Some recycled paper products may contain impurities which could cause arcing or fires when used in the microwave. Plastic cooking bags Provided they are made specially for cooking, cooking bags are microwave safe. However, be sure to make a slit in the bag so that steam can escape. Never use ordinary plastic bags for cooking in using microwave function, as they will melt and rupture. Plastic microwave cookware A variety of shapes and sizes of microwave cookware are available. For the most part, you can probably use items you already have on hand rather than investing in new kitchen equipment. Pottery, stoneware and ceramic Containers made of these materials are usually fine for use in using microwave function, but they should be tested to be sure. CAUTION Some items with high lead or iron content are not suitable as cooking utensils. Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the microwave. Microwave-Safe Utensils Never use metal or metal trimmed utensils in using microwave function Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off any metal object in the oven and cause arcing, an alarming phenomenon that resembles lightning. Most heat resistant non metallic cooking utensils are safe for use in your oven. However, some may contain materials that render them unsuitable as microwave cookware. If you have any doubts about a particular utensil, there's a simple way to find out if it can be used in the microwave. Place the utensil in question next to a glass bowl filled with water in using microwave function. Microwave at power HIGH for 1 minute. If the water heats up but the utensil remains cool to the touch, the utensil is microwave-safe. However, if the water does not change temperature but the utensil becomes warm, microwaves are being absorbed by the utensil and it is not safe for use in using microwave function. You probably have many items on hand in your kitchen right now that can be used as cooking equipment in the microwave. Just read through the following checklist. Dinner plates Many kinds of dinnerware are microwave-safe. If in doubt consult the manufacturer's literature or perform the microwave test. Do not heat dinner plates that use any painted on decorative as they will arc if the paint has metallic content. Glassware Glassware that is heat-resistant is microwave-safe. This would include all brands of oven tempered glass cookware. However, do not use delicate glassware, such as tumblers or wine glasses, as these might shatter as the good warms. Plastic storage containers These can be used to hold foods that are to be quickly reheated. However, they should not be used to hold foods that will need considerable time in the oven as hot foods will eventually warp or melt plastic containers. 28 MAINTENANCE Food characteristics &
microwave cooking keeping an eye on things Always watch your food while it cooks. Your microwave function is equipped with a light that turns on automatically when the oven is in operation so that you can see inside and check the progress of your food. Directions given in recipes to elevate stir, and the like should be thought of as the minimum steps recommended. If the food seems to be cooking unevenly, simply make the necessary adjustments you think appropriate to correct the problem. Factors affecting microwave cooking times Many factors affect cooking times. The temperature of ingredients used in a recipe makes a big difference in cooking times. For example, a cake made with ice-cold butter, milk, and eggs will take considerably longer to bake than one made with ingredients that are at room temperature. Some of the recipes, particularly those for bread, cake, and custards, recommend that food be removed from the oven when they are slightly undercooked. This is not a mistake. When allowed to stand, usually covered, these foods will continue to cook outside of the oven as the heat trapped within the outer portions of the food gradually travels inward. If the food is left in the oven until it is cooked all the way through, the outer portions will become overcooked or even burnt. You will become increasingly skillful is estimating both cooking and standing times for various foods. Density of food Light, porous food such as cakes and breads cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods such as roasts and casseroles. You must take care when microwaving porous food so that the outer edges do not become dry and brittle. Height of food The upper portion of tall foods, particularly roasts, will cook more quickly than the lower portion. Therefore, it is wise to turn tall food several during cooking. Moisture content of food Since the heat generated from microwaves causes moisture to evaporate, relatively dry food such as roasts and some vegetables should either be sprinkled with water prior to cooking or covered to retain moisture. Bone and fat content of food Bones conduct heat and fat cooks more quickly than meat. Care must be taken when cooking bony or fatty cuts of meat in order to prevent unevenly or overcooked meat. Quantity of food The number of microwaves in your oven remains constant regardless of how much food is being cooked. Therefore, the more food you place in the oven, the longer cooking time. Remember to decrease cooking times by at least one third when having a recipe. Shape of food Microwaves penetrate only about 2 cm into food, the interior portion of thick foods are cooked as the heat generated on the outside travels inward. Only the outer edge of food is cooked by microwave energy;
the rest is cooked by conduction. The worst possible shape for a food that is to be microwaved is a thick square. The corners will burn long before the centre is even warm. Round thin foods and ring shaped foods cook most successfully in the microwave. Covering A cover traps heat and steam which causes food to cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave cling film with a corner folded back to prevent splitting. Browning Meats and poultry that are cooked fifteen minutes or longer will brown lightly in their own fat. Foods that are cooked for a shorter period of time may be brushed with a browning sauce such as worcestershire sauce, soy sauce or barbecue sauce to achieve an appetizing colour. Since relatively small amounts of browning sauces are added to food, the original flavour of the recipe is not altered. Covering with greaseproof paper It is a looser cover than a lid or cling film, the food may dry out slightly. But because it makes a looser cover than a lid or clingfilm, it allows the food to dry out slightly. MAINTENANCE 29 Piercing Foods enclosed in a shell, skin or membrane are likely to burst in the oven unless they are pierced prior to cooking. Such foods include yolks and whites of eggs, clams and oysters and whole vegetables and fruits. Testing if cooked Food cooks so quickly in a oven, it is necessary to test it frequently. Some foods are left in the microwave until completely cooked, but most foods, including meats and poultry, are removed from the oven while still slightly undercooked and allowed to finish cooking during standing time. The internal temperature of foods will rise between 5 F (3 C) and 15 F (8 C) during standing time. Standing time Foods are often allowed to stand for 3 to 10 minutes after being removed from the oven. Usually the foods are covered during standing time to retain heat unless they are supposed to be dry in texture (some cakes and biscuits, for example). Standing allows foods to finish cooking and also helps flavour blend and develop. Arranging and spacing Individual foods such as baked potatoes, small cakes and hors d'oeuvres will heat more evenly if placed in the oven an equal distance apart, preferably in a circular pattern. Never stack foods on top of one another. Stirring Stirring is one of the most important of all microwaving techniques. In conventional cooking, food is stirred for the purpose of blending. Microwaved food, however, is stirred order to spread and redistribute heat. Always stir from the outside towards the centre as the outside of the food heats first. Turning over Large, tall foods such as roasts and whole chickens should be turned so that the top and bottom will cook evenly. It is also a good idea to turn cut up chicken and chops. Placing thicker portions facing outwards Since microwaves are attracted to the outside portion of food, it makes sense to place thicker portion of meat, poultry and fish to the outer edge of the baking dish. This way, thicker portions will receive the most microwave energy and the food will cook evenly. Shielding Strips of aluminium foil (which block microwaves) can be placed over the corners or edges of square and rectangular foods to prevent those portions from overcooking. Never use too much foil and make sure the foil is secured to the dish or it may cause 'arcing'
in the oven especially if the foil passes too closely to the walls of the oven during rotation. Elevating Thick or dense foods can be elevated so that microwaves can be absorbed by the underside and centre of the foods. When the oven is plugged into the wall outlet for the first time, and it does not work properly. What is wrong?
The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when you plug in for the first time or when power resumes after a power interruption. Unplug the oven from the 120 volt household outlet and then plug it back in to reset the microcomputer. Why do I see light reflection around the outer case?
This light is from the oven light which is located between the oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven. What are the various sounds I hear when the microwave oven is operating?
The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the microwave ovens magnetron ON and OFF. The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in power the magnetron draws as it is turned ON and OFF by a mechanical switch. The change in blower speed is from the change in line voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF. 30 TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING Frequently Asked Questions Operation Why is the oven light not on during cooking?
There may be several reasons why the oven light is not on. Have you:
Set a cooking time?
Touched START?
Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?
Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?
No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity. The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through. Why does a tone sound when a pad on the control panel is touched?
The tone tells you that the setting has been entered. Can my microwave oven be damaged if food is cooked for too long?
Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point that the food creates smoke and even possibly fire, and damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near the oven while you are cooking. TROUBLESHOOTING 31 Why do baked apples sometimes burst during cooking?
The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple to allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As in conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands during the cooking process. Why do baked potatoes sometimes burn during cooking?
If the cooking time is too long, fire could result. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm. CAUTION Do not overcook. Why is a standing time recommended after microwave cooking time is over?
Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods. Why is additional time required for cooking food stored in the refrigerator?
As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a refrigerator than for food at room temperature. Food What is wrong when baked foods have a hard, dry, brown spot?
A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the cooking or reheating time. Why do eggs sometimes pop?
When baking, frying, 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 wooden toothpick before cooking. CAUTION Never microwave eggs in the shell. Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry after cooking?
Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same recipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be varied for one of these reasons:
Eggs vary in size. Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator temperature another time. Eggs continue cooking during standing time. Is it possible to pop popcorn in a microwave oven?
Yes, if using one of the two methods described below:
(1) microwave-popping devices designed specifically for microwave cooking
(2) prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that is made for specific times and power output needed Follow exact directions given by each manufacturer for its popcorn popping product and do not leave the oven unattended while the corn is being popped. If corn fails to pop after the suggested time, discontinue cooking. Overcooking could result in an oven fire. CAUTION Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn or attempt to pop leftover kernels. 32 TROUBLESHOOTING Before Calling for Service You can often correct operating problems yourself.
