Time adjustment is carried out using buttons or a knob. Manufacturers label them in their own way. On some microwave ovens you can see the dial icon, on others just the inscription "Time".
A mechanical microwave oven has controls. They are responsible for the power and heating rate. The timer must be adjusted correctly so that the food is warmed up but not burnt.
You can heat the water in one minute, and the chicken legs will bake for 30-40 minutes.
To defrost food, set the timer for 3 minutes, with the power set to minimum.
Automatic microwave ovens do not require a time setting. It is enough to 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. You do not need to turn off the microwave or wait until the set time has passed, you can use the "More / Less" buttons.
Some models have a Delay Start function. This is convenient for those who combine cooking with other activities. The microwave will start working on its own at the right time. Make sure this function works properly, otherwise the timer will not work properly.
The clock goes off every time you unplug the microwave or your apartment is out of power. For example, the lights were turned off recently.

Protect the microwave. Never place hermetically sealed dishes in it, choose only heat-resistant ones. Always try to set only the correct cooking times.
Carefully read the instructions for use to properly set and set the time. Remember, if some modes are suitable for certain dishes, this does not mean that they will work for others. Please read the modes and options carefully.
We have to spend a considerable amount of time in the kitchen: there we cook and eat, wash dishes and clean surfaces, drink tea and talk on long evenings. It is very convenient to be near the clock, with it, home time management will be more effective. To do this, you do not need to buy an additional device, you can easily adjust the time on the microwave.
How to adjust the time display
In models of microwave ovens from different manufacturers, the clock display function is arranged in a similar way. The interface is different: the location and name of the buttons, the digital display. In some mechanically controlled devices, the design does not allow setting the current time; it is only possible to set the desired cooking duration on the timer.
Clock on display
Setting clocks in different microwaves
Samsung brand ovens have a clock setting function that shows the time in one of two formats. When the microwave is turned on, the number zero flashes on the display. To control, press the button with the dial and select the mode: day or half of them. Further, to set the required number of hours, use the keys with the image of arrows "up" and "down". Lock with clock button. Adjust the minutes in the same way and secure with the “dial”.
The microwave chamber from Mystery is also equipped with an electronic display that reflects the current time when the cooking process is not in progress. In the latter case, the duration of the preset mode is displayed on the screen. The first switching on of the oven is accompanied by a sound signal, and the digital symbol "1:01" flashes on the display. The range can be set from 01 to 12 by pressing the "Clock" icon. The current settings are reset using the icon in the Cancel menu. To set the correct time, press the "1 minute" key consecutively as many times as there are hours, fix by touching the "Clock" indicator. Do the same with minutes.
Time on the Mystery microwave scoreboard
The LG microwave oven has the same principle: the buttons select the number of hours and minutes, confirmed by pressing the button on which the dial icon is. An example of setting the time 13:25 in daily format:
- clear the settings using the "Stop \\ Reset" button;
- press "Clock" twice, select the display in the mode of the whole day;
- impulsely press on "10 minutes" until we reach the display of the number "13";
- using the "1 minute" button, set the number of tens of minutes, that is, press it twice;
- the remaining five minutes will be given by the "10 seconds" button, which should be pressed five times;
- fix the result with the "Clock" icon.
If you need to correct the set values, you can do this by touching the "Stop / Reset" function.
With every power outage, the time is reset and must be re-set on the screen.
Mechanics and electronics
Appliances equipped with a manual regulator for cooking modes are not intended to display the clock. These microwaves are easy to operate and affordable, but that doesn't mean they're worse than expensive ones. In simplified models, there are usually two knobs, turning one of them in a circle, you set the power or mode. The second is used to start the countdown timer and is most often used to heat food.
Microwave with mechanical control
The electronic type of control gives microwave ovens great functionality. The touch buttons located on the front panel are needed to select a program. If there is a specific task to warm up food, then you can use one of the keys, denoting minutes and seconds. A clock is built into these microwave ovens; after installation, the display will show the current time. To reset and change the settings, you need to enter the "Clock" menu, then press the "Stop" or "Cancel" button.
Cooking modes for different products
Each type of dish implies its own cooking duration. The setting of the minutes on the timer or touch panel depends on the recipe, the amount of food and the option required. In the microwave, you can boil porridge and vegetables, bake an omelette and cake, make steamed cutlets or fish. Most modern devices support the defrost function: microwaves gently penetrate the structure of the frozen product and thaw it, almost without heating. Models with an electronic menu are equipped with a range of different programs for automatic cooking. The most popular is the heating mode, which is supported by all microwave ovens.
Soft menu bar
Delay start is another useful option. The menu presets the time when the start will work and the microwave will turn on the desired mode. At the end of the cooking time, the timer will automatically stop the process. When using this function, it is important to ensure that the time is entered correctly in the device's memory. Then there will be no unpleasant surprises.
You will learn more about the function of setting the clock and the purpose of the menu buttons in the instructions for the microwave oven.
What's the secret to delicious microwave food? The answer is simple - at the correct time. You will need it differently for each dish. Modern microwave ovens allow not only reheating, but also defrosting food. Separate options and modes will help you bake a cake, cook porridge or bake fish. We described how to set up the clock in this article.
How to set the time on the microwave
To adjust the time correctly, use the buttons or control knobs on the panel. Each manufacturer in its own way designates them: an icon with a dial or simply the inscription "Time".
The principle depends on the type of microwave oven control. There will be regulators on the mechanical panel. One of them is responsible for the power, the other for the heating rate. It is important to set the timer correctly to prevent food from overheating or burning.
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 regulator to minimum, and the timer to 3 minutes. There are minute markers around the knobs to make things 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. It is enough to select a certain mode, for example "Bird" or "Popcorn", and the device will automatically set a timer.
In electronic models of Samsung, LG and some other brands, you can increase the cooking time. If the initially set deadline was not enough, then it is not necessary to wait for the disconnection. Adjust the parameters with the Up / Down buttons.
In LG models, this is done like this:
- Press the Stop / Reset key;
- To set the manual mode select the "Start" button;
- Now adjust the values \u200b\u200bwith the Up / Down keys. In this case, the readings will change by 10 seconds up or down.
Some models provide an additional mode "Delay start". This is very convenient if you are doing several things at the same time. The device will turn itself off as soon as the timer reaches the set mark. 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 be knocked off by a power outage, so a restore will be required. If you turn on the device for the first time, then our recommendations will also be useful to you. Do not forget to remove the protective film from the inside of the camera beforehand.
All microwave ovens can operate in a 12-hour or 24-hour system.
How to set time in LG:
- Press the "Stop" key;
- To tune for 24 hours, press Clock twice. For 12 hours, press again;
- Press the "10 minutes" key 15 times. Then the button "1 minute" 3 times. Now "10 minutes" 5 times;
- Now again "Clock".
That's it, the installation is complete. Now select any function and start cooking.
For Samsung microwave ovens, other actions are needed to set the time:
- Press the Dial or Clock key. For format 24 - 1 time, for format 12 - twice.
- To set the values, select the Up / Down keys. They are marked with up and down arrows.
- Confirm action - "Clock".
To operate the microwave oven successfully, follow the basic rules:
- Choose the appropriate cooking time;
- Use only special heat-resistant cookware;
- Do not place sealed containers in the chamber.
Of course, the settings for vehicles from different brands are different. For details, see the accompanying instructions. Adhere to the rules of operation, including regarding the selected modes and options. What works for one dish may not work for another.

The number of household appliances in the kitchen is increasing every year. This is due to the entry into the market of a wide variety of electronic meat grinders, devices for drying vegetables, huge food processors and more. And often in a small kitchen there is simply nowhere to put them.
A modern housewife simply cannot do without a microwave in the kitchen, and the question often arises, where to put the microwave if there is practically no space left? Many people put it on the refrigerator or on an existing microwave. The question of the proximity of electrical appliances can be of concern to the owners of small cafes with small kitchens where there is not enough space.
The same issue is often discussed by residents of communal apartments, where the appliances of several housewives are placed in the same kitchen space. Also, in large industries there is a kitchen for catering to employees with many microwaves and other appliances. With such a close arrangement of household appliances, you need to think first of all about fire safety.
What to look for
You should pay attention to the fact that each model of microwave oven has ventilation holes in different parts of it: bottom, top or side. When installing, remember that ventilation must not be closed, air must circulate freely in the openings.
Otherwise, the microwave may simply burn out from excessive heat. The free distance to another device should be at least 20–30 cm for the top cover, 10 cm for the back cover, and for the side clearance should be at least 5–10 cm.
Two microwave ovens can perfectly coexist, because each has its own body, and only function in it. The only thing is to carefully inspect the devices, and place them so that the ventilation holes do not intersect.
For a solid installation, place a rubber mat between them so that the upper microwave cannot budge or fall. Without such a layer, the thin casing of the CB furnace can be damaged. It is recommended to turn them on in turn.
IMPORTANT! It is forbidden to put a microwave oven near a heating radiator or electric and gas stove!
When installing on a refrigerator, you should also observe all ventilation norms and do not block openings. If you cannot install it differently, you can put the oven on a special stand or legs. There is no information in the operating instructions saying that you should not put the microwave on the refrigerator or microwave.
TIP! When you go shopping, immediately determine the place for the CB oven. They come in a variety of sizes and may not fit the way you originally intended.
Safety engineering
- When installing the device, take care of the close location of the outlet, it is better not to use an extension cord;
- Do not place it next to flowers, the emitted waves can destroy the plant;
- By placing the oven on the refrigerator, he will buy a heat-insulating mat;
- Do not place the microwave oven from the very edge, otherwise one uneven movement may hook the appliance, and it will fall to the floor and be damaged;
- It is not recommended to install SV ovens on refrigerators with high heights. It will be inconvenient to put and even more to get the heated food from there. You will need to stand on a chair or footboard, and such manipulations may result in a burn or fall.
Where is the best place to place a CB oven?
- If there is not enough space in the kitchen, you can install the microwave on the bracket;
- Also, many place it inside the cabinet, the main thing is that it does not stand right next to the walls;
- Often the place on the windowsill is occupied only by flowers. Take them away and put on the oven;
- As a standard, CB ovens are placed on the work surface of the countertop.
