How to Cook With an LG Microwave

Use the Time Cook option. To program a specific cook time and power level for your food, use the Time Cook method. Place the food in the microwave and press the button labeled "Time Cook." Second, enter the amount of time you wish to have your food cooked. Third, press the "Power Level" button. Fourth, press the desired number button indicating which power level you would like. Numbers 1 to 10 indicate power levels in increments of 10. Fifth, press the "Start" button.

Use the Auto Cook option. On LG microwaves, the buttons numbered with "1" through "6" have preset cook times designated for the proper cooking of various food items, such as bacon, frozen rolls and fresh rolls. The user manual provides information on which number coincides with which food item. First, after placing the food in microwave, press the "Auto Cook" button. Second, press the correct number for the food being cooked. Third, press the numbered button that indicates the number of items being cooked. For example, if you are cooking three rolls, press the "3" button.

Use the Auto Defrost option. LG microwave ovens offer three preset defrost sequences for foods up to 6 lbs. The cooking guide, provided with each oven, will indicate which defrost sequence is best for the food you are defrosting. The three sequences are preset for meat, button "1"; poultry, button "2", and fish, button "3." To properly use Auto Defrost, first press the "Auto Defrost" button after placing food in the microwave. Second, press either the "1," "2" or "3" button, depending on which food is being defrosted. Third, enter the weight of the food using the numbered buttons. Fourth, press "Start." A turn over sign will be displayed in the middle of the cycle. Turn over the food item and press the "Start" button to resume the cycle.
