A:AnswerFor most microwaves the fan cage is removable. Changing the air flow from up to the front of the unit It is accomplished by re positioning it. Its very simple. Just make sure you plug it in and the exhaust is blowing the direction you want (forward in your case). Else you'll have to take it down again
A:AnswerI bought this unit a couple months before this question was asked and answered. I would NOT have bought it had I known that there is NO BACKLIGHT for the display panel! The unit at the store display did not have power to be able to see this. I put this in a basement kitchen where I like it to be dark because it is also a home theater. Every time I try to use it, I have to go turn on the overhead lights in the room. The kitchen lights ruin the home theater experience.
I can't imagine WHY LG thought this was a good idea. It costs pennies for a few LEDs and the few millamps (at 5v, even lower current at wall voltage) is negligible. They needn't be lit constantly, at least turn them on for a few seconds when any key is pressed.
Nothing but frustration!
A:AnswerAccording to the manual, on page 11 there is a note under the Vent Hi/Low/Off section, which states "You cannot turn the exhaust fan off during microwave cooking"
And, yes the exhaust fan is very noticable when in operation.
