Microwave time. How to set the time on a microwave How to set the power on a lg microwave

Koreans always keep the brand and at the same time keep us on our toes, never tired of replenishing the market with new household appliances. Today I say hello to everyone who doesn’t like to bother with cooking and prefers to delegate these responsibilities to smart kitchen appliances. Included in the review LG MW-25R35GISW, so let's see what this device hides.

First of all, I want to say that the brand entrusted the production of the car to a Chinese OEM manufacturer. Don't be alarmed by the frankly low Chinese quality. Koreans value their reputation and will certainly not order cheap ones. This beast is technologically advanced and at first glance hints at reliability and everyday chic.

As you know, among Asians the housing problem and the value of usable space is no less acute than with us. This forces them to release , but without compromising functionality. Here we go LG MW-25R35GISW pleases with reasonable dimensions. Its width is 47.6 cm, the height of the machine is 27.2 cm, and the depth is 36.8 cm. I think there will be no problems integrating the model into any kitchen. At the same time presented excellent usable volume - 25 l, the diameter of the glass dish falls short of 30 cm. Isn't this the size of a real pizza?

The packaging is typical - a thick cardboard box. The device is protected conscientiously, I am sure there will be no problems during transportation. After unpacking, simply install the oven in place and plug the plug into a grounded socket. However, there is a nuance: the length of the cord is a bit short - only 1 m.

Externally, the device looks very stylish - a real car from the future. Sharma adds smoky black glass with an ever-smiling LG nameplate. There are no extra edges, protrusions, or protruding parts. The exterior of the microwave is thought out to the smallest detail.

Please note that the device cannot be placed close to the wall. According to the instructions, there should be a small free space around the ventilation holes (here it is located only on the rear panel).

The model has one external handle. Smoothly press it and the door will open.

Technical details

After connecting to the network, the machine beeps and asks you to set the clock. You can choose to use the 12 or 24 hour format (12H or 24H). By the way, there is no internal memory of the specified settings. If you remove the plug from the socket, you will have to reset the time. The device will beep and signal for each selected action and will purr a cheerful melody after the program is completed.

Microwave power is stated as 1000 W. The magnetron is located on the side, which is quite typical. Inverter power control works inside. As a result, all this is aimed at efficient cooking, defrosting, and heating. Compared to traditional microwave ovens, the LG solo microwave will produce results one and a half times faster. For example, a glass of water will boil in a minute. By the way, the manufacturer gives a 10-year guarantee for its luxurious magnetrons, which in itself is quite a lot and is rarely found among competitors.

In reality, the machine thinks very quickly, literally instantly responding to your commands. Let's look at the control panel. At the top you will see a button with an icon that looks like a medical cross. This is the vaunted smart diagnostic. To be honest, I have not yet met people who have used this thing, but I have no doubts about its functionality, and the idea itself is great! It works like this: you download the application, and if problems arise, call support and turn your phone towards this icon. The operator diagnoses the problem, data transfer takes 17 seconds.

Below is the digital display. All specified settings, hours, time remaining until the end of cooking, microwave icons, auto-cooking, auto-defrosting, adjustment, quick start, power, weight are displayed here. Two buttons below the display are microwave mode and inverter defrost. The next two are yogurt making/keeping warm and inverter cooking. The latter function is aimed at preparing almost any dish by selecting the type and weight of the product.

Standard plus and minus sensors are adjustment buttons. There is a trick here: if you like, you can press “+” and “-” separately, if not, you can use the sensor as a slider, sequentially moving your finger from the lower limit to the upper.

These buttons are multifunctional and are responsible for the following actions:

• selection of cooking menu;
• weight and time settings;
• time settings at the time of cooking.

The remaining sensors are stop/reset, with their help you will turn off or reset all parameters, excluding the current time. And, accordingly, start/enter. To start the cooking mode, just press the key once. Pressing again will launch quick start. These are 30 second intervals for maximum power operation.. For example, to cook at a quick start for 2 minutes, the button should be pressed 4 times. The machine will start baking before you complete the action. The peculiarity is that at maximum power the device can scald for up to 99 minutes 59 seconds, but for this you will have to press the sensor for a long time.

How LG MW-25R35GISW works

A very convenient function in LG MW-25R35GISW is timed cooking. The product can be cooked at any of five power levels. First of all, enter the power on the control panel, then the time and press start. At maximum, calmly boil water, brown minced meat, cook muffins, pieces of fish, poultry, vegetables, and meat. By the way, 1000 W is the factory setting; if you do not set the power, the device will operate in this mode by default. In this case, the algorithm of actions is further simplified: for example, put a mug of water in the camera, press “+” until 1 minute appears on the screen and start.

Other possibilities are as follows:

• 800 W quickly heats up sandwiches, vegetables, pasta, rice and other prepared foods;
• at 600 W it is better to cook casseroles containing cheese, eggs, milk, bread, cakes, whole fish, puddings, custard, melt chocolate;
• at 400 W defrost and cook roasts;
• At 200 W, heat butter, cream cheese, maintain a warm temperature, heat fruit dishes.

What is heating in LG MW-25R35GISW

Things are getting pretty interesting here. The menu is already programmed for automatic heating. A minimum of action is required from you: you need to indicate what is heated and in what quantity. The oven itself will calculate the optimal time. The function is activated by the “inverter cooking” sensor (until the indication “1” appears on the screen), the quantity is activated by the “plus-minus” keys.

At a time you can heat 2 cups of tea (400 ml), four servings of chilled casserole with a total weight of 1 kg, cold soup, chicken, meat, etc. up to 0.5 kg, 4 pieces of bread. As a result, the machine will help you quickly put dinner on the table for the whole family.

Automatic cooking

In addition to auto-heating, the menu includes automatic food preparation. The inverter cooking sensor also works here, but it is pressed until the “2” indication appears. The weight is set using the plus and minus buttons. It is immediately clear that the microwave oven is aimed at our market. A popular menu will help you prepare borscht (1.7 kg), the same amount of broth, solyanka, 300 g of buckwheat porridge, dumplings, fish with vegetables, a whole kilogram of jacket potatoes or roast meat in pots.

Softening

If you press the inverter cooking key three times and “3” appears on the screen, you can melt food items such as ice cream, butter, and cream cheese. I think every housewife will appreciate this. In this mode, the oven operates at low power. There is also a weight limit here. You can melt up to 150 g of butter, 300 g of cream cheese and 4 cups of ice cream at a time.

Inverter defrost

The oven can defrost in four different modes. During the process, it will tell you when to turn or check the product. You can bring 100 - 4000 g of meat (minced meat, tenderloin, cubes, roast, rump steaks, cutlets), the same amount of poultry (whole, breast, pieces), fish (steaks, fillets, seafood) and up to 0.5 kg of bread to a uniform temperature . For a quality result, do not forget to indicate the exact weight of the product. By the way, 4 kg is a very significant maximum weight for. A great plus for this model.

Yogurt

The Koreans have provided a fairly popular mode that helps prepare real homemade yogurt. The result will be about 0.6 kg of product. To do this, it is enough to use 0.5 liters of pasteurized milk and 0.1 kg of natural yogurt as a starter. The milk is slightly warmed up, mixed with the starter and placed in the chamber. After starting the mode, the treat will be prepared independently.

Known nuances

LG MW-25R35GISW knows how to save electricity. If the machine is in standby mode, it saves energy and the display turns off. The exception is when using clock mode - here the screen will be turned on. Plus, Energy saving is due to economical LED lighting.

Locked for security purposes. If you have restless children in your home, this option will come in handy. To activate it, just hold the reset key a little longer than usual until LOC appears on the display.

In addition, the microwave oven is well designed and equipped with a cooling fan. When cooking is complete, Cool appears on the display. This means that the device cools down after painstaking work.

The inner coating of the camera is made of easy-to-clean enamel and an effective antibacterial coating.. It actually inhibits the growth of unfavorable bacteria, as evidenced by repeated tests.

I can’t help but mention the vaunted hexagonal stand for the turntable. The manufacturer promises maximum stability of everything you put inside. As for me, nothing bad happens with a simple three-point support, but this hexagon looks really nice. So to speak, a nice little thing for peace of mind.

What's the secret to delicious microwave food? The answer is simple - at the right time. Each dish will need something different. Modern microwave ovens allow you not only to heat up, but also to defrost food. Separate options and modes will help you bake a pie, cook porridge or bake fish. We talked about how to set the clock in this article.

How to set the time on a microwave

To adjust the time correctly, you need to use the buttons or adjusting knobs on the panel. Each manufacturer designates them in its own way: with an icon with a dial or simply with the inscription “Time”.

The principle depends on the type of control of the microwave oven. There will be controls on the mechanical panel. One of them is responsible for power, the other for heating rate. To prevent food from overheating or burning, it is important to set the timer correctly.

It takes 60 seconds to get boiling water in a cup. But baking chicken legs will take 30-40 minutes.

To defrost food in a mechanical microwave, set the power control to minimum and the timer to 3 minutes. There are minute markings around the knobs to make it easier for you.

Electronically controlled microwave ovens offer a wide range of modes. As a rule, you do not need to set the time yourself. Just select a certain mode, for example “Bird” or “Popcorn”, and the device will automatically set a timer.

In electronic models from Samsung, LG and some other brands, you can increase the cooking time. If the initially specified period was not enough, then it is not necessary to wait for the shutdown. Adjust the parameters using the More/Less buttons.

In ElG models this is done like this:

• Press the Stop/Reset key;
• To set manual mode, select the “Start” button;
• Now adjust the values ​​using the More/Less keys. In this case, the readings will change by 10 seconds up or down.

Some models have an additional “Delayed Start” mode. This is very convenient if you do several things at the same time. The device will turn off automatically as soon as the timer reaches the set point. Before adjusting, it is important to check the accuracy of the time on the microwave clock, otherwise the timer will not work correctly.

The clock may become lost during a power outage and will need to be reset. If this is your first time turning on the device, then our recommendations will also be useful to you. Be sure to remove the protective film from the inside of the camera first.

All microwave ovens can operate on a 12-hour or 24-hour system.

How to set the time in LG:

• Press the "Stop" key;
• To adjust for 24 hours, press “Clock” twice. For 12 o'clock press again;
• Press the 10 minutes key 15 times. Then the “1 minute” button 3 times. Now “10 minutes” 5 times;
• Now again “Clock”.

That's it, installation is complete. Now select any function and start cooking.

For Samsung microwave ovens, other steps are needed to set the time:

• Press the Dial or Clock key. For format 24 - 1 time, for format 12 - twice.
• To set values, select the More/Less keys. They are indicated by up and down arrows.
• Confirm the action - “Clock”.

To operate your microwave successfully, follow the basic rules:

• Choose the appropriate cooking time;
• Use only special heat-resistant dishes;
• Do not place hermetically sealed containers in the chamber.

Of course, the settings for different brands of equipment are different. Detailed information is provided in the attached instructions. Adhere to the operating rules, including those regarding the selected modes and options. What is suitable for one dish may not be suitable for another.

How to use a microwave oven without harming the device and your health? Not all users know the operating and safety rules of a microwave oven. Most people who buy smart household appliances prefer to master them on an intuitive level. But in vain: by reading the instructions, you can prevent many breakdowns.

What are microwaves

Many owners of microwave ovens are not aware of their operating principle and do not know how food is heated and defrosted in them. However, from the name itself it is clear that the main “actor” is microwaves.

This is electromagnetic radiation of ultra-high frequency - 2.4 GHz. Many people remember from physics: when a substance is heated, its molecules accelerate - first those that are closer to the heat, and then they share energy with other, distant molecules.

If you put frozen food in a frying pan, it will be warm on the outside and icy on the inside. In microwave ovens the opposite is true. There are waves that penetrate inside here. When you take a heated pie out of your Samsung or LG smart oven, you will see that it is hot inside and warm on the surface.

A microwave is a short electromagnetic radio wave, the frequency of which practically coincides with the frequency of radiation from mobile phones. This is why mobile communications do not work well near microwave ovens.

We bought a microwave oven - what to do?

If you are just getting acquainted with the microwave device, you need instructions, which are included in the package. How else can you find out about the purpose of the buttons and the functions of the purchased equipment? Perhaps by experiment - but this will take a lot of time, and you can inadvertently damage something.

The first thing people worry about when they buy a microwave oven is how to turn it on? When using for the first time, proceed as follows:

• Place the device on a table, shelf or other level place.
• Turn on the device by inserting the plug into the electrical outlet.
• Now start the device. In different models, activation can be done in different ways:
  - “Start” or “Cook” button;
  - by turning the timer - after setting the time, the stove turns on.

If the oven is working properly, it will work after turning it on.

Why do you need a timer?

The timer in some models plays the role of a switch, but its main purpose is to regulate the cooking time. With its help, you can set how long the dish will be cooked.

Timers are different. The time can be set by turning the dial until the user-entered value lights up. It can also be set by typing numbers using the keyboard. To determine the optimal time, check the information on the package or recipe.

Basic user mistakes

The most important mistake is ignoring instructions. Without understanding the essence of the device’s operation, it is easy to cause its breakdown.

It is important to understand: microwaves only affect H2O molecules. Therefore, only products containing water can be cooked in a microwave oven. When heating foods with low liquid content, you need to place a container with liquid nearby.

If the stand does not rotate, the dish will not heat up evenly - it will burn on one side and be raw on the other. This does not apply only to inverter models; they do not have a rotating tray.

It is important to remember: you cannot interrupt the specified cooking process; add spices before starting or after completion.

How to extend the life of a microwave

By using your microwave oven according to the rules, you can significantly extend its life. A good stove can serve without malfunctions for a whole five years or even more. If the oven is working properly:

• it works quietly;
• no sparking in the chamber;
• no odors;
• the door closes tightly.

Important! Remember, stove breakdowns are also dangerous for its owner. If there are any malfunctions, immediately take the microwave to a service center.

The duration of operation depends on compliance with the instructions for use: use special utensils and cook, taking into account the recommendations of the developers.

To ensure that your first use does not bring disappointment, it is important to follow the manufacturers’ advice. Prohibited:

• turn on the device when the chamber is empty;
• turn on the device if the weight of the food is less than 50 g;
• use metal utensils;
• Exceed the reasonable cooking time - there is a risk of fire;
• forcefully wipe the protective screen - a mica plate (it is located in the chamber, usually on the side wall);
• turn on if there are obvious defects: cracked glass, loose door, etc.;
• heat or boil eggs;
• Load tightly sealed containers and jars of food into the chamber.

• Before starting the grill, place a cup of water inside.
• Close the door tightly.
• If you are going to heat skinned or vacuum-packed food, pierce it in several places with a sharp object before turning on the stove.
• To keep the chamber clean and not have to wash it every time after cooking, cover the dish with a special lid. Due to splashes of grease and food debris, the mica protective screen may become unusable ahead of time.
• Do not leave the device unattended.
• Do not handle the dishes immediately after turning off the appliance - you will get steam burns.
• Wash the oven from food residues with soft sponges.

The average operating life of microwave ovens is five years. By following the manufacturers' recommendations, you can double it.

How to choose dishes

The specificity of microwave ovens is a ban on the use of metal utensils. Also, do not place containers that melt easily or become very hot in the chamber. It is better to use special dishes that say:

• for microware oven;
• microware oven safe;
• suitable for microware;
• Microwave bowls.

All of the above inscriptions mean: this dish can be placed in microwave ovens.

It is better to check non-special dishes before putting them in the oven. Place a glass of water inside, next to the dishes you want to test. Turn on the device - you need to increase the power to maximum. If the object is not hot after a minute, you can use it for cooking.

Attention! It is better to buy round dishes: a lot of heat accumulates in the corners, and the plate may burn a little.

Where to put the microwave

The location of the microwave oven determines its capabilities. For example, if you place the stove on top of the refrigerator, it can be used exclusively for heating.

When installing a new device, you should consider the following nuances:

• Ventilation must not be blocked.
• It is prohibited to place it near equipment emitting radio waves - malfunctions may occur.
• Any instructions also say that it should not be placed near a heat source.
• You can place the oven on other household appliances, but you must first make sure that vibrations from the microwave do not harm it.

• The surface for installing the device should be as smooth and hard as possible.

When moving the microwave oven, keep in mind: the front part is heavier than the back. You need to pick it up correctly so as not to drop it or break it.

What does power affect?

Correct use is impossible without knowledge related to the power of the device. The speed of operations and the capabilities of the device depend on its value.

• 1.4 kW is enough to soften butter or ice cream and raise yeast dough.
• 1.4-2.8 kW - you can defrost and melt food.
• 2.8-4.2 kW - enough for baking.
• For good heating you will need a power of at least 4.4-5.6 kW.

At maximum power, you can boil water or cook food in a minimum of time.

Before setting a program of action, familiarize yourself with the features of preparing the product. Perhaps it needs to be defrosted first and only then cooked.

Rules of care

Microwave ovens save their owners time, but require regular attention. Cleanliness of the chamber is an important condition for the correct functioning of the equipment. Timely care will prevent the appearance of odors and grease on the chamber walls and on the mica screen.

Follow these rules:

• Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the device.
• To properly rinse the camera, remove the removable parts.
• Internal parts should be washed with warm soapy water. Wait for it to dry.
• It is better not to use water to prevent it from getting inside the device; you should use a damp sponge.
• It is forbidden to clean the stove with metal brushes - this can damage the coating.
• Do not use alkaline or chlorine-containing products.

If you find dirt that cannot be washed off or removed with a rag, turn on the vacuum cleaner. Use a fine nozzle. You can also clean vents this way.

If you bought a Samsung

According to statistics, 20% of families use Korean brand microwaves. For all microwave ovens, the rules of care and operation are almost the same.

Samsung stoves may differ from each other in their control panel. In digital models, control occurs using buttons, in analogue models - through manual control. The second option is simpler and cheaper, and, in addition, eliminates system errors. Touch models include many additional features, such as self-cleaning.

When installing Samsung stoves, you should remember: you need to maintain a distance of at least 20 cm from any other objects.

Be careful with blocking!

Those who are too lazy to read the instructions often encounter blocking problems. Most modern models are equipped with a useful function - child protection. However, it happens that it becomes an obstacle for owners who cannot unlock the microwave.

The unlocking procedure is described in each instruction. So, for example, to remove the unit in the Samsung CE1110R, you need to simultaneously press the “Microwave”, “Grill” and “Convection” buttons.

Time adjustment is carried out using buttons or a knob. Manufacturers designate them in their own way. On some microwaves you can see a dial icon, on others there is simply the inscription “Time”.

A mechanical microwave oven has controls. They are responsible for the power and heating speed. It is necessary to adjust the timer correctly so that the food warms up, but does not burn.

You can heat the water in one minute, and the chicken legs will bake for 30-40 minutes.

To defrost food, you need to set the timer for 3 minutes, with the power set to minimum.

Automatic microwave ovens do not require time setting. Just select a mode, for example, “Popcorn” or “Fish”, and the oven will set the timer itself.

Electronic models “Samsung and LG” allow you to increase or decrease the cooking time. There is no need to turn off the microwave or wait for the set time to pass; you can use the “More/Less” buttons.

Some models have a Delay Start function. This is convenient for those who combine cooking with other things. The microwave oven will start working itself at the right time. Check that this function is working properly, otherwise the timer will not work correctly.

The clock gets lost every time you unplug the microwave or your apartment is without power. For example, recently the power went out.

How to Set the Time on an LG Microwave Oven

To set the time you need to:

• Press the “Stop” button;
• To set to 24 hour format, press the "clock" button twice.

• Then press the “1 minute” button 3 times;
• Then press “10 minutes” 5 times;
• Press the “clock” button once.

Once you set the time, you can use any function to cook.

How to set the time on a Samsung microwave oven

To set the time you need:

• Press the “Clock” or “Dial” button;
• If you want to set the 24 hour format, press 1 time;
• for 12 hours - twice;
• Adjust the values ​​using the “More/Less” keys;
• To confirm the action, click the "Clock" button.

Take care of your microwave oven. Never place hermetically sealed containers in it; choose only heat-resistant ones. Always try to set only the correct cooking time.

Carefully read the instructions for use to correctly set up and set the time. Remember, just because some modes are suitable for certain dishes, this does not mean that they are suitable for others. Please read the modes and options carefully.
