Q: QuestionDoes this unit mount to the wall or just over head to the cabinets above it? I have granite going up the wall between the stove and the microwave I only have 16 inches
Asked by Anonymous.
This question was asked about the related product: LG - 1.8 Cu. Ft. Over-The-Range Smart Microwave with Sensor Cooking and EasyClean - Stainless Steel
- A:Answer The LG 1.8 Cu. Ft. Over-The-Range Smart Microwave with Sensor Cooking and EasyClean® - Stainless Steel, Model # MVEM1825X, requires both an upper cabinet and a rear wall for installation. The top of the microwave attaches to the bottom of the upper cabinet using specialized bolts, which keep the unit from tipping forward and secure it in place, and the Mounting Bracket is secured to the wall studs and drywall, which supports the weight of the appliance. Both the rear wall and the upper cabinet must be able to support up to 150 lbs plus the weight of any items stored inside the oven or the cabinet. There must be a minimum installation height of 30" between your upper cabinet and the cooktop/countertop surface below BEFORE you install the microwave oven, which means after installation, the bottom of the microwave oven will be a minimum height of 13 9/16" above your cooktop/countertop surface. If you have brick or masonry walls, you will need special hardware and tools...^Ivan.

Q: Questiondoes this unit operate with invertor
Asked by steve.
This question was asked about the related product: LG - 1.8 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Smart Microwave with Sensor Cooking and EasyClean - Black Stainless Steel
- A:Answer Hi there, Steve. Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. We understand your inquiry regarding the MVEM1825F over-the-range microwave and whether it utilizes inverter technology for its operation. The MVEM1825F is designed with a high-efficiency 1000-watt power system that provides consistent heating and reliable performance for all your cooking needs. This specific model uses a traditional power delivery system rather than the Smart Inverter technology found in some of our other microwave series. However, it features 10 distinct power levels and advanced sensor cooking technology that automatically adjusts time and power for optimal results, ensuring your food is prepared perfectly every time. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-1-8-cu-ft-over-the-range-smart-microwave-with-sensor-cooking-and-easyclean-black-stainless-steel/J7G5658L4H If you have any further questions about the settings, power levels, or features of this microwave, please contact us on lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com, and our team will be more than happy to assist you further through a private message. —Renzo

Q: QuestionDoes it vent to front and can still be used as a stand alone in a cabinet with at least 3-4inches clearance all around?
Asked by Bramino.
This question was asked about the related product: LG - 1.8 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Smart Microwave with Sensor Cooking and EasyClean - Black Stainless Steel
- A:Answer Hello there, Bramino. Thank you for sharing your question with us. We understand your inquiry regarding the LG MVEM1825F and its installation requirements. The MVEM1825F is designed specifically as an Over-the-Range microwave, which means it is engineered to be mounted to a rear wall and attached to an upper cabinet above a cooking surface. This model is not intended to be used as a stand-alone or countertop unit, nor is it designed to be placed inside a cabinet cutout with clearance around it, as it lacks the necessary feet for stability and the proper airflow configuration for that type of placement. Regarding your question about venting, this unit features a hidden vent grille and is very versatile in its airflow options; it can be configured to vent out the front for room recirculation using its charcoal filter, or it can be adapted to vent through the top or the rear if you have external ducting in your home. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-1-8-cu-ft-over-the-range-smart-microwave-with-sensor-cooking-and-easyclean-black-stainless-steel/J7G5658L4H If you have any further questions about its features or installation requirements, please contact us on lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com, and our team will be more than happy to assist you. —Renzo
