LG Over The Range - General Operations Power Levels
[Narrator]When cooking with your Over-The-Range microwave oven, place any food items to be cooked on the center of a microwave-safe dish. And position the dish on the center of the turntable for best results.
Be sure to stir or turn over the food as needed to thoroughly cook your food as the packaging directions state.
Caution! Never use or place any metal object, dish, or container into the microwave oven for this will damage the unit.
To reduce any food splatter or mass, it is best to cover your food with a microwave-safe dish lid when cooking with your microwave oven which can be purchased at any local grocery store.
Your LG Over-The-Range microwave oven automatically defaults to the power level of 100%.
The power level can be selected in increments of 10 depending on your cooking needs.
To reduce the power level: Enter your desired cook time. Let's say five minutes for example, enter 5, 0, 0, then select the power level button. And enter your desired power level percentage.
We'll press seven for 70% power then press Start. When the cook time is over, the microwave will beep to notify me that the cook cycle has finished.
Some recipes call for different cook power levels during different stages of a cook cycle, known as multi-stage cooking. You can program your oven to switch from one power level setting to another for up to 2 stages, 3 stages if the first stages the DEFROST cycle.
For example, 2 stage cooking: to cook for 3 minutes at 50% power. Then 70% power for 5 minutes and 30 seconds. Enter the first desired cook time. 3, 0, 0 and select power level. Then press by for 50% power. Then select cook time, and enter the second cook time. 5, 3, 0 and select power level. Then select 7 for 70% power. And lastly, press Start. For 3 stage cooking, the process is the same except with the added step of first choosing the Defrost button on your control panel. Then select your Defrost option.
Choose cook timer enter 3, 0, 0 or 3 minutes and select power level. Then 5 for 50% power. Then enter your final cook time of 5, 3, 0 select the power level button. Enter 7 for 70% power. And lastly, press Start.
Your cooking process will go through each stage of your selection. When the cook time is over the microwave will beep notifying you that the cook cycle has finished.
For optimum power settings, refer to your Over-The-Range microwave oven user manual under Cooking Guide for Lower Power Levels.
It is recommended to leave the turntable on when cooking but this can be turned off as suggested for larger type dishes. To do this, select the Turn Table On/Off button on the control panel and the turn table will turn off.
However this option is not available in the Sensor Cook, Kids Meal, Defrost, Soften, and Melt modes.
Sometimes when cooking the turntable can become hot to touch. Be careful touching the turntable during and after cooking. Use a kitchen mitt or dish cloth when removing any hot items from your microwave oven. Caution! Never leave your Over-The-Range microwave oven unattended while in use.
