INSTRUCTIONS

POPCORN

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite
foods without selecting cooking times and power levels.
The oven automatically determines required cooking
time for each food item. When the internal sensor
detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the
food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The
display will show the remaining heating time. For best
results for cooking by Sensor, following these
recommendations.
1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature.

POPCORN lets you pop commercially packaged
microwave popcorn. Pop only one package at a time.
For best results, use fresh bags of popcorn.
Example: To pop popcorn.
1. Touch POPCORN pad.
When the cook time is over,
you will hear four beeps and
COOK END will display.

SENSOR

COOKING

GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good
Sensor cooking results.
1. Always use microwavable containers and cover them
with lids or vented plastic wrap.
2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
3. Match the amount of the size of the container.
Fill containers at least half full for best results.

POTATO

4. 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.

The POTATO button lets you bake one or several potatoes
without selecting cooking times and power levels.
NOTE:
• Before baking, pierce potato with fork severral times.
• After baking, let stand for 5 minutes.
Example: To cook 2 potatoes.
1. Touch POTATO pad.
When the cook time is over,
you will hear four beeps and

AUTO DEFROST
Your microwave oven is preset with three defrost
sequences. Using AUTO DEFROST is the best way to
defrost frozen foods. The Auto Defrost Sequence Table
below provides some basic guidelines for using the
three defrost sequences.
Use the DEFROSTING RACK serviced by LG for
complete defrosting.

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.

CONVERSION

TABLE

You are probably used to food weights as being in
pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for
example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in
order to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you must
specify pounds and tenths of a pound.
If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a
pound, you can use the following table to convert the
weight to decimals.

Example: To defrost 1.2 Ibs. of meat.

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.

5. Close the door and restart.
When the defrost time is over,
you will hear four beeps and
COOK END will display.

• 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 or on a microwave
roasting rack to catch drippings.

NOTE: If you do not open the
door, the display will resume
the countdown.

DEFROSTING

TIPS

Q DEFROST

• 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).

The Q DEFROST feature provides you with the rapid
defrosting method for 1.0 pound ground beef. The oven
automatically sets the defrosting time for ground beef.

• 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.

Example: To defrost ground beef.

• Open containers such as cartons before they are
placed in the oven.

1. Touch Q DEFROST pad.

• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a
suitable container.

2. Touch START pad.

• 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.

USE OF THE TWO POSITION
METAL RACK
The two position metal rack gives you extra space
when cooking in more than one container at the same
time. The metal rack can be turned upside down to
accomodate different container sizes.
To use rack:
1. Place rack securely in the four plastic supports.
• Rack MUST NOT touch metal walls or back of
microwave oven.
2. Place equal amounts of food both ABOVE and
BELOW rack.
• Amount of food must be approximately the same
to balance out cooking energy.

• 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.
- 22 -

CAUTION
To avoid risk of property damage:
• Do not use rack to pop popcorn.
• Rack must be on the four plastic supports when
used.
• Use the rack only when cooking food on two levels.
• Do not cook with rack on floor of the oven.

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.
- 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.

Appetizers / Sauces / Soups
Cooking Appetizers: Tips and
Techniques

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.

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.

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 5-10°F during
standing time.

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.

The Meat Cooking Table on the next page provides
detailed directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time
settings for most cuts of meat.

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.
• 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.
• 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.

inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner
door panel and the oven front frame free of food or
grease build-up.
Never use rough powder or pads. Wipe the
microwave oven inside and out, including the hood
bottom cover, with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot)
mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a
chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal, and
aluminum surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately with a
wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or
bacon. Clean your oven weekly or more often, if
needed.

METAL RACK
Wash the metal rack with a mild soap and a soft or
nylon scrub brush. Dry completely.
Do not use abrasive scrubbers or cleaners to clean
rack.

QUESTIONS

AND ANSWERS

Q. 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. 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
manufacturer's 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 manufacturer's directions. Do not
pop popcorn in glass utensils.

5. Replace bulb with 30 or 40 watt appliance bulb.
6. Replace the bulb holder, if damaged.
7. Slide the bottom of the vent grille into place. Push
the bottom until it snaps into place. Replace the
mounting screws.
8. Reconnect power or plug in microwave oven.

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.

MICROWAVE

UTENSIL GUIDE
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.

DO NOT USE

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:

CHINA:
bowls, cups, serving plates and platters
without metallic trim.

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.

ALUMINUM

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.

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.
