FAQ

Q.

Is the microwave oven cavity easy to clean?

A.

LG's EasyClean® oven chamber features a durable interior coating infused with zeolites, helping resist stains and reduce food buildup inside the microwave cavity. So cleaning your microwave doesn’t have to be a chore. Simply wipe with a damp cloth—no chemicals, no scrubbing, no problem.

Q.

Are there child safety features built-in to the microwave?

A.

Yes, LG counter top microwaves come equipped with a child-resistant 2-step door opening system. The child-resistant door lock with an optional 2-step opening function helps prevent unwanted access and enhance safety. These models also offer child lock setting which disables the control panel. See owner's manual on how to enable and disable these features.

Q.

Can I install this microwave on a shelf?

A.

Yes. An LG countertop microwave can be placed on a sturdy countertop or open shelf, provided the required clearances for ventilation are maintained. Be sure to follow the installation instructions in your owner's manual to ensure adequate airflow around the appliance.

Q.

What size countertop microwave should I choose?

A.

The right size depends on your cooking needs and available counter space. Larger capacity models (1.5 cu.ft. to 2.0 cu.ft.) provide more room for family-sized dishes and larger cookware, while compact models (1.1 cu.ft to 0.9 cu.ft.) are ideal for smaller kitchens and everyday use.
