To read the manufactured month and year, look for a code on the label on the back of the product. The code is structured as follows (using “205KM??00001” as an example):

Year: The first digit represents the last digit of the year (e.g., ‘2’ could mean 2022).

Month: The next two digits represent the month (e.g., ’05’ means May).

Product code: The following letters represent the product code.

Algorithm: The next characters represent the algorithm.

Serial No.: The final digits are the serial number.

To ensure safe operation and avoid exposure to excessive microwave energy, please follow these precautions:

It is important not to tamper with the safety interlocks. The oven has safety interlocks that automatically switch off cooking when the door is opened.

Do not place any object between the oven’s front face and the door.

Ensure no food or cleaner residue accumulates on the sealing surfaces.

Do not operate your LG SOLARDOM MP-9885SRZ if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), or (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.

Your oven should only be adjusted or repaired by qualified service personnel.

When heating liquids like soups, sauces, and beverages, delayed eruptive boiling can occur, which may result in a sudden boil-over of the hot liquid. To prevent this, take the following steps:

1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

2. Do not overheat.

3. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.

4. After heating, allow the container to stand in the oven for a short time. Stir or shake the contents again carefully (especially feeding bottles and baby food jars) and check the temperature before consumption to avoid burns.

Follow these steps to correctly install your LG SOLARDOM MP-9885SRZ:

1. Unpack your oven and place it on a flat, level surface.

2. Choose a location with a height of more than 85cm. Ensure there is at least 20cm of space on top and 10cm at the rear for proper ventilation. The front of the oven should be at least 8cm from the edge of the surface to prevent tipping.

3. Plug your oven into a standard household socket. Make sure your oven is the only appliance connected to that socket.

4. Open the oven door by pulling the door handle and place the METAL TRAY inside the oven.

5. To test the oven, fill a microwave-safe container with 300 ml (1/2 pint) of water and place it on the METAL TRAY.

6. Press the Stop/Clear button, then press the Start button once to set 30 seconds of cooking time.

Please read carefully and keep for future reference:

Do not attempt to tamper with or repair the door, control panel, or any other part of the oven yourself.

Do not operate the oven when empty. It’s best to leave a glass of water inside when not in use.

Do not use recycled paper products, as they may contain impurities that can cause sparks or fires.

Do not cook eggs in their shell, as pressure can build up and cause them to burst.

Before cooking, pierce the skin of potatoes, apples, or similar fruits and vegetables.

If you see smoke, switch off or disconnect the oven and keep the door closed to stifle any flames.

Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when they have been given adequate instructions.

Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away.

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass.

Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling; therefore, care must be taken when handling the container.

Ensure the oven is cleaned regularly and any food deposits are removed.

There’s a simple way to find out if a utensil can be used in the microwave function. Place the utensil in question next to a glass bowl filled with water in the oven. Microwave at power HIGH for 1 minute. If the water heats up but the utensil remains cool to the touch, the utensil is microwave-safe. However, if the water does not change temperature but the utensil becomes warm, microwaves are being absorbed by the utensil, and it is not safe for use in the microwave function.

Never use metal or metal-trimmed utensils in the microwave function.

Dinner plates: Many are microwave-safe. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer or perform the microwave test.

Glassware: Heat-resistant glassware, such as oven-tempered glass, is safe. Do not use delicate glassware like tumblers or wine glasses.

Plastic storage containers: Safe for quick reheating but should not be used for foods that require considerable cooking time, as hot food can warp or melt them.

Paper: Paper plates and towels are safe for short cooking times with low-fat/low-moisture foods. Avoid colored paper products.

Plastic cooking bags: Bags made specifically for cooking are microwave-safe. Be sure to make a slit in the bag for steam to escape.

Plastic microwave cookware: A variety of safe options are available.

Pottery, stoneware, and ceramic: These are usually fine but should be tested to be sure.

1. Keep the inside of the oven clean: Wipe up spills and food spatters with a damp cloth right away. Remove greasy spatters with a soapy cloth, then rinse and dry. The metal tray can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.

2. Keep the outside of the oven clean: Clean 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.

3. Clean the control panel: Open the oven door to prevent it from starting accidentally. Wipe the panel with a damp cloth followed immediately by a dry cloth. Press Stop/Clear after cleaning.

4. Keep the door and door seals clean: Use only warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive materials like cleaning powders or steel pads.

5. Do not use any steam cleaner.

There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow. The light bulb may have blown, or the relay may have failed. These issues require attention from a qualified service technician.

Yes. Never run the oven empty or without the metal tray, as this can damage the microwave function.

When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam buildup inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk before cooking. Never microwave eggs in the shell.

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 popping. If the corn fails to pop after the suggested time, discontinue cooking to prevent it from catching fire. Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn.

Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions to help prevent overcooking. Variations in the size, shape, weight, and dimensions of the food will cause variations in cooking time and may require longer cooking. Use your own judgment along with the cooking guide suggestions to test food for doneness, just as you would with a conventional cooker.

This appliance must be earthed. The wires in the mains lead are colored according to the following codes:

BLUE: Neutral – Connect to the terminal marked with the letter N or colored BLACK.

BROWN: Live – Connect to the terminal marked with the letter L or colored RED.

GREEN & YELLOW: Earth – Connect to the terminal marked with the letter E or the earth symbol.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard.
