Frequently Asked Questions - LMV1680DB LG

How to clean the hood grease filters?

Remove the filters by sliding them sideways and pulling down. Soak them in hot water with mild detergent, rinse and dry. Do not use ammonia or wash in the dishwasher. Reinstall by sliding and pushing up.

How to replace the hood bulb?

Unplug the appliance. Remove the screws from the hood lamp cover. Replace with a 30 watt bulb (appropriate type). Reattach the cover and plug in.

Can I use metal dishes in this microwave?

No, metal may cause arcing and damage the unit. Use only microwave-safe dishes: glass, porcelain, suitable plastic. Small pieces of aluminum foil can be used to shield certain parts, but at least 1 inch from walls.

What if the oven doesn't start?

Check that the door is fully closed, the cord is plugged in, and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Ensure you pressed START/ENTER. If the problem persists, consult the troubleshooting section or contact a technician.

How to use the auto cooking function?

Press COOK, then select the category (fresh vegetables, frozen, rice, stew) by pressing repeatedly. Enter the amount and press START/ENTER. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time using the moisture sensor.

How to quickly defrost 1 lb of food?

Press QUICK DEFROST. The oven starts automatically with an appropriate program. For automatic defrost, use AUTO DEFROST, select the type (meat, poultry, fish) and enter the weight in pounds and tenths. Turn or separate the food when the beep sounds.

What is standing time and why is it important?

Standing time is the period after cooking during which the food continues to cook by internal heat. This ensures more even cooking and saves energy. Let rest covered as recommended (usually 5 to 15 minutes).

How to activate the child safety lock?

Press and hold the START/ENTER key for at least 4 seconds. The 'L' indicator appears and a beep sounds. To deactivate, repeat the same operation.

Why does steam come out of the vents during cooking?

This is normal. The oven is designed to vent steam through the top ventilation duct. This reduces humidity and prevents condensation. Do not block the openings.

How to set the clock on the oven?

Press STOP/CLEAR, then CLOCK. Enter the time using the number keys (e.g., 8 0 0 for 8:00). Press CLOCK or START/ENTER again. Press CLOCK twice for precise setting.

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.

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.

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.

OPERATION

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.

Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs of meat.

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.

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 tails but 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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• The Fish and Shellfish Cooking Table below provides specific directions with Power Level and Cooking Time settings for most types of fish and shellfish.

COOKING

Appetizers / Sauces / Soups

Cooking Appetizers: Tips and Techniques

Recommended

• 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.

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.

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.

Potato

This set may help you to cook potatoes with the recommendatory time as below. You can choose from 1 to 4 potatoes.

NOTE:

• Cooking time based on an average 9 ounces potato.
• Before baking, pierce potato with fork several times.
  After baking, let it stand for 5 minutes.

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 - 10^ 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.

COOKING

Pasta And Rice

Microwave cooking and conventional cooking of pasta, rice, and cereal require about the same amount of time, but the microwave is a more convenient method because you can cook and serve in the same dish.

There is no stirring needed and leftover pasta tastes just like fresh cooked when reheated in the microwave oven.

Cooking Pasta and Rice: Tips and Techniques

• If you are planning to use rice or pasta in a casserole, undercook it so it is still firm.

• Allow for standing time with rice, but not for pasta.

• The Pasta and Rice Cooking Tables below provide specific directions, with Power Level and Cooking Time settings for most common types of pasta and rice.

MAINTENANCE

CARE AND CLEANING

For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean 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.

CLEANING THE GREASE FILTER

The grease filter should be removed and cleaned often, at least once a month.

1. To remove grease filters, slide each filter to the side, then pull filters downward. The filter will drop out.

1. Soak grease filter in hot water and a mild detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry. Do not use ammonia or place in a dishwasher. The aluminum will darken.

1. To reinstall the filters, slide it into the side slot, then push up and forward to lock.

NOTE: Do not operate the hood without the filter in place.

CHARCOAL FILTER REPLACEMENT

If your oven is vented inside, the charcoal filter should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, and more often if necessary. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. To order a new charcoal filter, contact the Service Center.

1. Remove the two vent grille mounting screws. (2 middle screws)
2. Tip the grille forward, then lift it out

1. Remove old filter.

1. Slide a new charcoal filter into place. The filter should rest at the angle shown and set the clock.

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. 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.
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.
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

You may microwave in many more utensils than you can use on the stove or in a conventional oven, because microwaves penetrate them safely still cooking the food.

Below are listed the utensils you can safely cook with and those you must avoid. To test whether you can safely with a utensil not on the lists below, do the following:

1. Place the utensil empty in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and place in the oven beside the utensil.
3. Microwave on HI Power for 1 minute.
4. If the utensil is warm to the touch at the end of this time, you should not use it for microwave cooking.

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