INFORMATION

Please read this owner’s manual. It will tell you how to use all the fine features of this microwave oven.

LOCATION OF MODEL NUMBER

To request service information or replacement parts, LG Electronics CANADA will require the complete model number of your microwave oven. The number is on the left side of control panel as shown in the illustration below.

MODEL NUMBER LABEL

OVEN SPECIFICATIONS

Output Power 1000W (IEC 60705 Standard) Outer Dimensions 29-15/16” x 16-7/16” x 16-15/16” Cavity Volume 1.6 Cu.ft Net Weight 52 lbs.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If an electrical

short circuit occurs, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The cord for this appliance has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. Put the plug into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING - If you use the grounding

plug improperly, you risk electric shock.

Ask a qualified electrician if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the appliance is properly grounded. Because this appliance fits under the cabinet, it has a short power-supply cord. See the separate Installation Instructions for directions on properly placing the cord. Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch or crush it in any way.

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

ELECTRICAL RATING

* Electrical Rating of the Oven:120V AC 60Hz * 13 Amps / 1500 Watts ( MWO + Cooktop Lamp +

Ventilation Fan)

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The oven is designed to operate on a Standard 120V/60Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at least 15A or 20A and the microwave oven is the only appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for 50Hz or any circuit other than a 120V/60Hz circuit.

Ensure proper ground

exists before use

For a permanently connected appliance: This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

COOKING GUIDE FOR AUTO REHEAT

OPERATION

Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat.

1. Touch AUTO DEFROST.

•

AUTO DEFROST

Three defrost choices are preset in the oven. The defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods, because the oven automatically sets the defrosting times for each food item according to the weight you enter. For added convenience, the AUTO DEFROST includes a built-in tone mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food during the defrost cycle. Three different defrosting options are provided.

1. MEAT

2. POULTRY

3. FISH

After touching AUTO DEFROST once, select the food category. Available weight ranges for Meat, Poultry and Fish are 0.1 to 6.0 lbs.

down the defrost time. The oven will beep once during the defrost cycle. At this time, open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the food as needed. Remove any portions that have thawed then return frozen portions to the oven and touch START/ENTER to resume the defrost cycle.

•

The oven will not stop during the beep unless the door is opened.

WEIGHT CONVERSION CHART

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 you can use the following chart to convert the weight to decimals.

2. Enter the weight.

3. Touch START/ENTER.

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).

Use AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO

DEFROST gives best results when food to be

thawed is a minimum of 0 F (taken directly from a true freezer). If food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5 F or below, always program a lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food.

If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to

20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.

The shape of the package alters the defrosting

time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.

Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.

Separated pieces defrost more easily.

You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield

shieldfoods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish

tailsbut the foil must not touch the side of the

oven.Foil causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.

Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if

they start to become warm.

For even, complete defrosting, use the defrosting

rack.

For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on

a microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents the possibility of warm meat juices cooking food during defrost.
