LG Smart Over-the-Range Convection Microwave

Unlike a standard microwave that only uses electromagnetic waves to heat food, this model includes a heating element and a fan to circulate hot air. This allows you to bake, roast, and brown food just like you would in a traditional oven.

The unit is designed to handle air frying using its integrated convection system. You should use the provided rack or a microwave-safe tray that allows for proper airflow around your food to ensure even, crispy results.

While it is highly versatile, its 1.7 cu. ft. capacity is best suited for smaller meals, side dishes, or baking tasks. It is an excellent secondary oven for busy households, but it may not accommodate large roasting pans or multiple baking sheets simultaneously.

The smart functionality allows you to monitor cooking progress, receive alerts, and control certain settings remotely via a connected smartphone app. It integrates with your home network to provide added convenience and real-time status updates.

This unit is designed to be mounted above a cooktop, replacing a standard range hood. You will need to ensure you have the required clearance and proper ventilation setup, whether you are venting air outside or using a recirculating filter system.

The interior is designed for durability, but because convection and air frying can cause splatters, it is recommended to wipe down the walls and the rack after each use. Using a microwave-safe cover during standard heating cycles will also help minimize cleanup.
