OPERATING TIPS For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook. For best results, shape your ground meat into the form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting. Place foods in a shallow container. This table shows you food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.

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, make sure you have removed any of 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 it 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.

COOKING GETTING THE BEST COOKING RESULTS To get the best results from your microwave oven, read and follow the guidelines below. Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods at room temperature. The time for recipes in this book is based on the normal storage temperature of the food. Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more evenly. For even cooking, reduce the power when cooking large pieces of food. Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not necessary. Turn over foods like pork chops, baking potatoes, roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the cooking time to expose all sides equally to microwave energy. Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the dish. Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the dish. Shield, with Small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg ends of poultry. Let It Stand: After you remove the food from the microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid overcooking the outer edges. The length of standing time depends on the density and surface area of the food. Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel:
Sandwiches and many other foods containing prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to microwaving to prevent drying out. Fish & Shellfish Cooking Fish and Shellfish: General Directions Prepare the fish for cooking.
- Always set the shortest cooking time. Fish is done
- Completely defrost the fish or shellfish.
- Arrange unevenly shaped pieces with thicker parts toward the outside of the dish. Arrange shellfish in a single layer for even cooking.
- The type of cover you use depends on how you cook. Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or vented plastic wrap.
- Baked fish, coated fish, or fish in sauce needs to be covered lightly with waxed paper to keep the coating crisp and sauce from getting watery. Fish And Shellfish Cooking Table when it turns opaque and the thickest part begins to flake. Shellfish is done when the shell turns from pink to red and the flesh is opaque and firm. The Fish and Shellfish Cooking Table below provides specific directions with Power Level and Cooking Time settings for most types of fish and shellfish. FISH Fish fillets Fish steaks Whole fish Scallops Shrimp, shelled POWER LEVEL COOKING TIME DIRECTIONS HI HI 7 HI HI 31/2-41/2 minutes 41/2-51/2 minutes 41/2-6 minutes 31/2-5 minutes 31/2-5 minutes Arrange fish in a single layer with thickest portion toward outside edge of 11/2 quart microwavable baking dish. Brush with melted butter and season, if desired. Cook covered with vented plastic wrap. Let stand covered 2 minutes. If you are cooking more than 1 lb. of fish, turn the fish halfway through cooking. Arrange in a single layer. Prepare as directed above, except stir instead of turning the shellfish.
COOKING Meat Cooking Meat: General Directions Prepare the meat for cooking.
- Defrost completely.
- Trim off excess fat to avoid splattering.
- Place the meat, fat side down, on a microwavable rack in a microwavable dish.
- Use oven cooking bag for less tender cuts of meat.
- Arrange the meat so that thicker portions are toward the outside of the dish.
- Cover the meat with waxed paper to prevent splattering. Tend the meat as it cooks.
- Drain juices as they accumulate to reduce splattering and keep from overcooking the bottom of the meat.
- Shield thin or bony portions with strips of foil to prevent overcooking. NOTE: Keep the foil at least 1 inch from the oven walls, and do not cover more than one-third of the meat with foil at any one time. Let the meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after you remove it from the oven. The internal temperature of the meat may rise from 5-10F during standing time. The Meat Cooking Table on the next page provides detailed directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time settings for most cuts of meat. Appetizers / Sauces / Soups Cooking Appetizers: Tips and Techniques Recommended Crisp crackers, such as melba toast, shredded wheat and crisp rye crackers are best for microwave use. Wait until party time to add the spreads. Place a paper towel under the crackers while they cook in the microwave oven to absorb extra moisture. Arrange individual appetizers in a circle for even cooking. Stir dips to distribute heat and shorten cooking time. Cooking Sauces: Tips and Techniques Use a microwavable casserole or glass measuring cup that is at least 2 or 3 times the volume of the sauce. Sauces made with cornstarch thicken more rapidly than those made with flour. Cook sauces made with cornstarch or flour uncovered so you may stir them 2 or 3 times during cooking for a smooth consistency. To adapt a conventional sauce or gravy recipe, reduce the amount of liquid slightly. Cooking Soups: Tips and Techniques Cook soups in a microwavable dish which holds double the volume of the recipe ingredients to prevent boil-over, especially if you use cream or milk in the soup. Generally, cover microwaved soups with VENTED plastic wrap or a microwavable lid. Cover foods to retain moisture. Uncover foods to retain crispness. Avoid overcooking by using the minimum suggested time. Add more time, if necessary, only after checking the food. Stirring occasionally will help blend flavors, distribute heat evenly, and may even shorten the cooking time. When converting a conventional soup recipe to cook in the microwave, reduce the liquid, salt, and strong seasonings. Not Recommended Appetizers with a crisp coating or puff pastry are best done in a conventional oven with dry heat. Breaded products can be warmed in the microwave oven but will not come out crisp.

Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I may reheat or cook in two levels at a time?
A. Only use the rack that is supplied with your microwave oven. Use of any other rack can result in poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may damage your oven. Q. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave oven?
A. Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding
(use small, flat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray is 3/4 inch deep and filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door. Q. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears wavy. Is this normal?
A. This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven. Q. What are the humming noises that I hear when my microwave oven is operating?
A. You hear the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on and off. Q. Why does the dish become hot when I microwave food in it? I thought that this should not happen. A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after cooking. 4. Lift up the bulb holder. Q. What does standing time mean?
A. Standing time means that food should be taken out of the oven and covered for additional time after cooking. This process allows the cooking to finish, saves energy and frees the oven for other purpose. Q. Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I get the best results?
A. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturers guidelines or use the preprogrammed Popcorn pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the listening test by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a pop every one or two seconds. Do not try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use special microwave poppers. When using a popper, be sure to follow manufacturers directions. Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils. 5. Replace bulb with a 30 watt appliance bulb. 6. Replace the bulb holder. 7. Slide the top of the vent cover into place. Push the bottom until it snaps into place. Replace the mounting screws. Turn the power back on at the main power supply. Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the top vent.

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. CHINA:
bowls, cups, serving plates and platters without metallic trim. METAL UTENSILS:
Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven. 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, semirigid 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. 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 utensils. 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 utensil 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.

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.
- Plastic Cooking Bags: Provided they are specially made 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. Paper
- Use paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins, and paper plates with no metal rims or design. Look for the manufacturers label for use in the microwave oven.
- 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.
- Avoid colored paper products as the color may run. Do not use recycled paper products in the microwave oven. They may contain impurities which could cause arcing or fires when used in the microwave. Tableware
- Many containers made of pottery, stoneware and ceramic are also microwave-safe. If in doubt consult the manufacturers 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. Microwave-Unsafe Cookware Metal Containers/Metal Decoration
- Never use metal or metal-rimmed cookware in the microwave oven.
- Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off any metal object in the oven and cause arcing, an alarming phenomenon that resembles lightning.
- Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, foil trays, 18 OPERATION 2 Heat the container and glass measuring cup for 1 minute at HIGH power. allow it to finish cooking and help flavors blend and develop. If the water heats up but the container
- Quantity: The more food you place in the remains cool to the touch, the container is microwave-safe. If the temperature of the water does not change but the container becomes warm, it is not safe for use in the microwave oven. 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. Always be careful when taking cookware out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and may be hot. Cooking Guide Cooking Tips Carefully monitor the food in the microwave oven while it is cooking. Directions given in recipes to elevate, stir, etc., are the minimum steps recommended. If food is overcooked (dry), undercooked, or unevenly cooked, make adjustments before or during cooking to correct the problem. Overcooked or Dry Food
- Sprinkling: Sprinkle low-moisture foods such as roasts and vegetables with water before cooking, or cover them to retain moisture.
- Density: Light, porous food such as cakes and breads cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods such as roasts and casseroles.
- Shielding: Cover the corners of square dishes with small strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Dont use too much foil, and secure the foil to the dish. Foil can cause arcing if it gets too close to the oven walls during cooking.
- Bones and Fat: Bones conduct heat, and fat cooks more quickly than meat. Take care with bony or fatty cuts of meat. Undercooked Food
- Covering: Cover food with a microwave-safe lid, parchment paper (not waxed paper), or plastic wrap to trap heat and steam and cook food more quickly.
- Standing Time: Let food stand for several minutes after being removed from the oven to oven, the longer the required cooking time.
- Temperature: Ice-cold ingredients take much longer to cook than room temperature ingredients. Unevenly Cooked Food
- Stirring: Stir food from the outside toward the center during cooking, as food at the outside of the dish heats more quickly.
- Arranging: Turn food over several times during cooking. The upper portion of thick foods cooks more quickly than the lower portion.
- Shaping: Place the thickest portions of foods like meat, poultry or fish toward the outside of the cookware to help them cook more evenly. If possible, shape foods into thin rounds or rings. Foods with Skin, Shell or Membrane
- Skin or Membrane: Pierce the outsides of foods like potatoes, sausages, or egg whites or yolks before cooking.
- Shell: Pierce or remove the shells from eggs, clams, oysters, or other shelled foods before cooking. Defrosting Tips
- Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original wrapping paper or plastic package. Otherwise, the wrap close to the foods will hold steam and heat, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to be cooked.
- Remove any metal twist ties.
- Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
- Open containers such as cartons before they are placed in the oven.
- If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place the food in a suitable container.
- The length of defrosting time varies depending on the shape of the food and on how solidly the food is frozen.
- As food begins to defrost, separate the food into pieces so that they can defrost more easily.
- Turn over food during defrosting or standing time. Separate into pieces and remove food as required.
- Let food stand after defrosting. Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven. Menu Tips Cooking Fish and Shellfish Completely defrost the fish or shellfish before cooking. Arrange unevenly shaped pieces with thicker parts toward the outside of the dish. Arrange shellfish in a single layer for even cooking. Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or vented plastic wrap. Baked fish, coated fish, or fish in sauce needs to be covered lightly with waxed paper to keep the coating crisp and the sauce from getting watery. Always set the shortest cooking time.
- Fish is done when it turns opaque and the thickest part begins to flake.
- Shellfish is done when the shell turns from pink to red and the flesh is opaque and firm. Fish OPERATION 19 Place a paper towel under the crackers while they cook to absorb extra moisture. Arrange individual appetizers in a circle for even cooking. Stir dips to distribute heat and shorten cooking time. Breaded products, crisp coating or puff pastry can be warmed in the microwave oven but will not come out crisp. Cook in a conventional oven with dry heat E N G L I S H Cooking Sauces Use microwavable cookware that is at least double the volume of the recipe ingredients to prevent boil-over. Sauces made with cornstarch thicken more rapidly than those made with flour. Cook sauces made with cornstarch or flour uncovered so you can stir them two or three times during cooking for a smooth consistency. To adapt a conventional sauce or gravy recipe, reduce the amount of liquid slightly. Power Level Cooking Time

When converting a conventional soup recipe to cook in the microwave, reduce the liquid, salt, and strong seasonings. Defrost completely before cooking. Trim off excess fat to avoid splattering. Place the meat, fat side down, on a microwavable rack in a microwavable dish. Arrange the meat so that thicker portions are toward the outside of the dish. Use an oven cooking bag for less tender cuts of Cooking Appetizers meat. Crisp crackers, such as melba toast, shredded wheat and crisp rye crackers are best for microwave use.

TROUBLESHOOTING FAQs Frequently Asked Questions Q Can I use a rack to cook on two levels at once?
TROUBLESHOOTING 27 E N G L I S H A Only use the rack that is supplied with your microwave oven. Use of any other rack can result in poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may damage your oven. Q Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave oven?
A Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray is 3/4 inch deep and filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to get too close to the oven walls during cooking. Q Will the microwave function be damaged if I operate the oven while it is empty?
A Yes. Never run the oven while it is empty. Q Why do eggs sometimes pop?
A When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam buildup inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk before cooking. Never microwave eggs in the shell. Q Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?
A No. The holes, or ports, are made to allow light to pass; they do not let microwave energy through. Q Why does the door of the microwave oven sometimes appear wavy?
A This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven. Q Why does the oven make humming noises while operating?
A This is the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on and off. Q Why does the dish become hot when I microwave food in it?
A During use the appliance becomes hot. Always be careful when taking cookware out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and may be hot. Q Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
A Refer to the Sensor Popcorn Mode section and follow directions on bag. Q Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?
A Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the top vent. 28 TROUBLESHOOTING Before Calling for Service Operation Problem Microwave oven does not start Possible Cause & Solution Power cord is unplugged, door is open, or cooking time has not been set.

The notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may proceed to file a claim for arbitration. Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve the dispute during the 30 day period after sending written notice to LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between us only by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person's or entity's product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, any dispute between you and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of 34 LIMITED WARRANTY arbitration, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis. Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association
("AAA") and will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the "AAA Rules") and under the procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 111 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrators award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision. Governing Law. The law of the state of your residence shall govern this Limited Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law. Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt of your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys' fees and expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including, but not limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek attorneys' fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration. Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a location within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or we agree to a telephonic arbitration. Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser's purchase of the product by either: (i) sending an e-mail to optout@lge.com, with the subject line: "Arbitration Opt Out" or (ii) calling 1-
800-980-2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a) your name and address;
(b) the date on which the product was purchased; (c) the product model name or model number; and (d) the serial number (the serial number can be found (i) on the product; or (ii) online by accessing https://
www.lg.com/us/support/repair-service/schedule-repair continued and clicking on "Find My Model & Serial Number"). You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way, and you will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and do not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions of the arbitration provision described above.
