Please read and follow all instructions before using your LG SOLARDOM MP9289JS oven to prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or damage.

WARNINGS:

1. Do not attempt to tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to the door, door seals, control panel, safety interlock switches, or any other part of the oven that involves removing a cover protecting against microwave energy. Repairs should only be done by a qualified service technician.

2. Do not use the oven for dehumidification (e.g., with wet newspapers, clothes, toys, etc.). This can cause fire, burns, or electric shock.

3. This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Ensure children are given adequate instructions to use the oven safely.

4. Accessible parts may become hot during use. Keep young children away.

5. Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers as they can explode. Remove plastic wrapping before cooking or defrosting. Some foods may need to be covered with plastic film for heating.

6. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

CAUTIONS:

1. Do not operate the oven with the door open. The safety interlocks automatically switch off cooking activity when the door is opened.

2. Do not place objects like towels between the oven front face and the door or allow residue to build up on sealing surfaces.

3. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, especially the door, hinges, latches, or seals.

4. Ensure cooking times are set correctly. Small amounts of food require shorter times to prevent fire.

5. When heating liquids, avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks, do not overheat, and stir the liquid before and halfway through heating. After heating, let it stand, stir again, and check the temperature to avoid burns. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling.

6. Do not block the exhaust outlet on the top, bottom, or side of the oven.

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

8. Do not cook food wrapped in paper towels, unless specified in a cook book. Do not use newspaper.

9. Do not use wooden or ceramic containers with metallic inlays. Remove metal twist ties.

10. Do not use recycled paper products.

11. Do not rinse the tray and rack in water just after cooking to avoid breakage.

12. Place the oven so the front of the door is 8 cm or more behind the edge of the surface it’s on to avoid tipping.

13. Pierce the skin of foods like potatoes or apples before cooking.

14. Do not cook eggs in their shell. Whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens as they may explode.

15. Do not attempt deep fat frying in the oven.

16. If smoke is observed, switch off or disconnect the oven from the power supply and keep the door closed to stifle flames.

17. When cooking in disposable containers (plastic, paper), keep an eye on the oven.

18. Accessible surfaces may be very hot during and after operation. Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, cavity, and accessories until they have cooled.

19. Clean the oven regularly and remove food deposits.

20. Only use a recommended temperature probe if your appliance has a facility for one.

21. If heating elements are provided, be careful to avoid touching them inside the oven as they become hot.

22. For popcorn, follow manufacturer directions. If corn fails to pop, discontinue cooking. Do not leave unattended.

Never use metal or metal-trimmed utensils in the microwave function, as microwaves cannot penetrate metal and will cause arcing.

• Dinner plates: Many are microwave-safe. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer or perform the microwave test. To test, place the utensil next to a glass bowl of water in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 1 minute. If the water heats up but the utensil remains cool, it is microwave-safe.

• Glassware: Heat-resistant glassware is microwave-safe. Do not use delicate glassware like tumblers or wine glasses.

• Plastic storage containers: Suitable for quick reheating. Not for foods that require considerable time in the oven, as hot food can warp or melt them.

• Paper: Paper plates and containers are safe for short cooking times with low-fat, low-moisture foods. Avoid colored paper products. Some recycled paper may contain impurities that cause arcing.

• Plastic cooking bags: Bags made specifically for cooking are microwave-safe. Make a slit in the bag for steam to escape. Never use ordinary plastic bags.

• Plastic microwave cookware: A variety of shapes and sizes are available.

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

CAUTION: Some items with high lead or iron content are not suitable for cooking. Always check to ensure utensils are suitable for use in the microwave function.

1. Keep the inside of the oven clean:

Wipe up food splatters or spills immediately with a damp cloth. Crumbs and spills can absorb microwave energy and lengthen cooking times. Use a damp cloth to clean the area between the door and the frame to ensure a tight seal. Remove greasy splatters 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, rinse with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. Do not let water seep into ventilation openings. To clean the control panel, open the door to prevent accidental starting, wipe with a damp cloth, then immediately with a dry cloth. Press Stop/Clear after cleaning.

3. Clean panels for steam:

If steam accumulates inside or around the oven door, wipe the panels with a soft cloth.

4. Keep the 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 AND PLASTIC PADS. Metal parts are easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth.

5. Do not use any steam cleaner.

6. Unplug your oven when cleaning the control panel:

Unplug the oven from the electrical socket when you clean the control panel with a wet cloth or spray water on the control glass. If not, the product can be operated by touching the Quick Start button.

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

No. The holes, or ports, in the viewing screen are made to allow light to pass through for visibility, but they do not let microwave energy through.

The beep tone sounds to assure you that the setting is being properly entered.

Yes. Never run the oven empty, as it 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 with a fork or toothpick before cooking. Never microwave eggs in their shell.

After microwave cooking is finished, food continues to cook during standing time. This allows the cooking to finish evenly throughout the food. The amount of standing time required depends on the density of the food.

Check the cooking guide again to ensure you’ve followed the directions correctly. Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions to help prevent overcooking. Variations in the size, shape, weight, and dimensions of the food can 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.
