Hopefully you still have the owner's manual for your LG - 1.4 Cu. Ft. Mid-Size Microwave in Smooth White, Model # LCS1413SW. It will be much easier to refer to the specific pages in it that have explicit instructions on how to use the microwave rather having to rewrite entire pages on here to explain how to use it. If you look at the number pad on the control panel of the microwave, right above the '3' on the number pad is the 'EZ-ON' button. When you touch this pad, it will add 30 seconds up to 3 minutes 30 seconds; after 3 minutes 30 seconds, every touch will add 1 minute up to 99 min 59 seconds. However, the 'EZ-ON' button will set and start microwave cooking at 100% power without the need to set the time and press START. Now the 100% power level may dry the food on your dinner late out so you have other options you can use to heat the dinner plate and control the power level. On either side of the '0' on the number pad you will see the 'Time Cook' button and the 'Power Level' button. To cook for 2 minutes for example, you would touch the Touch STOP/Clear button (found at the bottom of the control panel under the Time Cook button), then you would Touch Time Cook > Touch [2],[0]and[0] > Touch Power Level (On page 13 is a power level table that you can refer to) So for example, if you wanted to reheat rice, pasta or vegetables, the power level for those is 9, so you would touch 9 then Touch START. There is also a MORE/LESS key that you can find right above the CLOCK, KITCHEN TIMER and EZ-ON buttons right above the number pad. Pressing the MORE button will add 10 seconds for each touch to the TIME cooking program and touching the LESS button will subtract 10 seconds with each touch. You will all the instructions under the 'Using Your Microwave Oven' section starting on page 11 to page 19 in your owner's manual and a read through will give you a better understanding of your microwave oven...^IFV
