How do I install my LG SOLARDOM MA3884NCR?
Follow these steps to install your oven:
Step 1. Unpack your oven and place it on a flat, level surface.

How do I clean my LG SOLARDOM MA3884NCR?
1. Keep the inside of the oven clean:
Wipe up food spatters or spills immediately with a damp cloth. Crumbs and spillovers absorb microwave energy and lengthen cooking times. Use a damp cloth to wipe crumbs from between the door and the frame to ensure a tight seal. Remove greasy spatters with a soapy cloth, then rinse and dry. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. The metal tray can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
2. Keep the outside of the oven clean:
Clean the outside with soap and water, then rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. Do not allow water to seep into the ventilation openings. To clean the control panel, open the door to prevent the oven from starting, wipe with a damp cloth, and then immediately with a dry cloth. Press STOP/CLEAR after cleaning.
3. For steam accumulation:
If steam accumulates inside or around the door, wipe the panels with a soft cloth. This may occur in high humidity conditions and is not a malfunction.
4. Keep door and seals clean:
Use only warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS, such as cleaning powders or steel/plastic pads.
5. Steam Cleaner:
Do not use any steam cleaner.
What should I do if the oven light on my LG SOLARDOM MA3884NCR will not glow?
There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow. The light bulb may have blown or the relay may have failed. Contact a qualified service technician for assistance.
Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door of my LG SOLARDOM MA3884NCR?
No. The holes, or ports, in the screen are made to allow light to pass, but they do not let microwave energy through.
Why does the beep tone sound when a button on the Control Panel is touched on my LG SOLARDOM MA3884NCR?
The beep tone sounds to assure that the setting is being properly entered.
Will the microwave function on my LG SOLARDOM MA3884NCR be damaged if it operates empty?
Yes. Never run it empty or without the metal tray.
Why do eggs sometimes pop when cooked in my LG SOLARDOM MA3884NCR?
When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk before cooking. Never microwave eggs in their shell.
Why is standing time recommended after microwave cooking is over in my LG SOLARDOM MA3884NCR?
After microwave cooking is finished, food continues to cook during standing time. This standing time finishes cooking evenly throughout the food. The amount of standing time depends on the density of the food.
Can I cook popcorn in my LG SOLARDOM MA3884NCR?
Yes, if using one of the two methods described below:
1. Popcorn-popping utensils designed specifically for microwave cooking.
2. Prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that contains specific times and power outputs.
Follow the exact directions given by the popcorn manufacturer. Do not leave the oven unattended while the corn is being popped. If corn fails to pop after the suggested times, discontinue cooking. Overcooking could result in the corn catching fire.
CAUTION: NEVER USE A BROWN PAPER BAG FOR POPPING CORN. NEVER ATTEMPT TO POP LEFTOVER KERNELS.
Why doesn’t my LG SOLARDOM MA3884NCR always cook as fast as the cooking guide says?
Check your cooking guide again to make sure you’ve followed directions correctly and to see what might cause variations in cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions to help prevent overcooking. Variations in the size, shape, weight, and dimensions of the food may require longer cooking times. Use your own judgment along with the cooking guide suggestions to test the food’s condition, just as you would with a conventional cooker.
