LG microwave oven - It takes a long time to reheat food

Troubleshooting

 

Reheating times vary depending on the freezing degree, size, and weight of food.
If you use cookware larger than the glass plate or put in food that is too heavy, it will not rotate well so that the food will not be reheated evenly and it will take a long time.

Try this

Reheating Frozen Food

  • Thaw First : Always thaw frozen food before reheating it in the oven.

  • Reheating Time : Reheating times may vary based on the food's freezing degree, size, and weight.

  • Follow Recommended Methods : After thawing, follow the recommended cooking method for the specific food based on its freezing condition.

  • Adjust Cooking Time : Feel free to adjust the cooking time according to your preferences for desired results.

Other heating times depend on the size or weight of the food.

Avoid Opening the Door Frequently During Cooking

  • Do Not Open the Door : Avoid opening the oven door frequently while cooking.
