Q: QuestionCan it vent to the outside? The specifications show that it is only recirculating.(2 answers)
A: AnswerThe unit has a fan on the top that can be adjusted to vent to the outside. The unit comes with the vent set to recirculating. When installed yesterday, the tech was able to simply flip the fan to emit externally through my wall vent. You can see the vent on the top of the unit. A couple of screws to loosen, flip the fan, and you're all set. For me, I already had the external vent set up in the wall. Hope that helps.Answered by Scorpion
Q: QuestionCan you use the microwave and the timer at the same time?(3 answers)
A: AnswerYes, the timer works just fine while the Microwave oven is cooking. My only complaint about this unit is the door is really wide and I have to lean back to open the door. If you have young kids they might hang on the door opening it. So I'm guessing this might be a problem as the unit gets older. I have the microwave venting to the outside of the house out the rear of the microwave. This allows me to get all the kitchen smells and smoke out of the kitchen. It does a great job removing smoke from the normal stove. I do have this unit mounted over the stove. Over all I like this microwave.Answered by Anonymous
- A: AnswerYes !! Love it

Q: QuestionIs this both a true microwave and true air fryer?(3 answers)
A: AnswerYes it is a microwave, air fryer, and also has a bake/convection mode. The microwave and bake/convection modes are awesome and heat items up really quickly. Airfryer is so so- takes a really long time, I don't feel like things get as crispy my countertop InstantPot Air Fryer.Answered by DaytonJamie
- A: AnswerYea it has a fan and can vent to outside as that is our setup. The fan can also come on automatically when the stovetop is in use if you set it up in the app.

- A: AnswerN0, no way to do that, that is a big issue I have with this unit, not impressed with this microwave in any shape or form, my 25-year-old convection made this one look like a joke. Still worked just thought I would get a new one. Gave that one to my daughter she is still using it. Mine was a bad install after they finally got somebody to show up, finally gave up tired of no call no show installers, Best Buy doesn't seem to care about people's situations, they will tell you they're sorry for your bad experience, a lot of good that does. I also am a total Tech member, for what good that did me. Would not recommend anybody to buy this unit, user unfriendly as far as I am concerned. Scanning barcodes on products show the microwave will set itself up to cook product is a joke, always says things are not listed. Wi-Fi is a joke, too many buttons to be pushing to get what you want, if you have any low light you can't read the buttons, yeah doesn't have an air Fry Basket doesn't air fry well at all. If I could have got this installed properly in a reasonable time, and was able to start really using it, I'm pretty sure I would have taken it back, disappointment is just scraping the surface. Still not installed properly, whines with the fan on, not much of a manual sent with it, no type of cookbook of any sort. Hope this helped, if it's still under warranty, I believe to yourself a favor and take it back, look at KitchenAid or something else.

Q: QuestionCan you remove the rotating turntable for baking a 9x13 dish?(3 answers)
A: AnswerIf you’re using the convection-only mode, you shouldn’t need to use a turntable, since the function of forced-air convection is to blow the heated air around to make heating and cooking more even, and the function of a turntable when using the microwave-only mode is to turn the food so the microwaves will more evenly hit the food. So they both end up doing the same thing. 9X13 will fit nicely into the chamber, but you have to remove the glass turntable. ^DaneeAnswered by LG Digital Customer Care

I wouldn't buy this unit again if I had a choice
I bought this because i wanted an over range microwave/air fryer combo. Unfortunately, the Ir fryer isn't great. You can't set the temperature for the Ir fryer. There are a few preset categories and you choose the serving size. All of the things I Ir fry come with specific air fry temps and times. None of the presets work with all of the things I air fry. Also, the there wasn't basket or plate with holes that would be good for small thing as like tots and fries. The microwave works great. No complaints. I love that I can just press a number and it starts cooking 100% for that time. The unit is a bit big and bulky for my kitchen. I can no longer turn a pan over to empty stuff into another pan. Install wasn't easy, but i was able to muddle through it.

We love it!
After only having it a week, we have used it quite a lot. We have used it for reheating, baking, roasting and more. The reason we bought this appliance is its versatility. Microwave, convection oven and air fryer in one. We have baked a cake with the convection oven, roasted a chicken with the air-fryer, cooked vegetables and more with the microwave. Much much better than our microwave only unit we had before. With Christmas coming, having this oven will make life so much easier. Operation is really easy to learn, the clean minimalist design fits into our kitchen beautifully, and the versatility allows us to free up counter space of other appliances we no longer need. We give the appliance 5 stars, but the installation was a bit sketchy. We are finding parts not used, screws falling out from behind the unit and questionable mounting.

Great microwave with fast installation—5 STARS
Coming from a GE Profile microwave and this new one is a solid product (hoping the touch buttons don't stop functioning over time, but so far, so good!). I selected this LG model because it fit the exact dimensions of my previous microwave that fizzled on me and I didn't want to have any issues with my backsplash while replacing. All of the extra functionality (convection, air fry, etc) didn't hurt either! First time I've gotten so many compliments on the look of a home appliance alone! lol Also paid for installation through Best Buy and the service team was super fast, kind, and professional. Highly recommend :)
