A:AnswerIt's generally not recommended to go over the wattage recommended by the manufacturer that's all I can tell you generally when you put something in this higher wattage than it's supposed to be it can potentially cause fires definitely not something you want they can cause things to overheat not a professional opinion just something I've been told by other Appliance manufacturers that includes anything from light bulbs inside an appliance to your lamp
A:AnswerHas 3 methods of exhaust. One is directly into the room venting from the unit in front of the mounting cabinets from the top of the microwave. Two is at the center of the unit right to left, and at the rear of the unit front to back. It is designed to vent out of a vertical vent stack. Three is top center of the Bach of the unit designed to vent through the wall.
A:AnswerIt will depend on what type of 30W bulb you use in the LG 1.8 cu. ft. Over the Range Microwave Oven, Model # LMV1813ST. The maximum watts requirement has to do with heat since all bulbs give off heat. The higher the wattage, the more heat is created. There are CFL bulbs and incandescent bulbs available. CFL bulbs are marked with two numbers, the equivalent wattage which compares the light output to a incandescent lamp, and the actual wattage consumed by the bulb. The actual wattage is what you need to stick with. A 75 watt equivalence CFL gives off the lumens (brightness) of a 75 watt incandescent bulb. But it only consumes 13 watts, and thus gives off the heat of a 13 watt bulb. CFL bulbs operate at much lower voltages and temperatures so you should have no problems using a CFL that gives an equivalent amount of illumination to a higher watt incandescent bulb as long as the fixture can accommodate the physical size of the CFL. You should have the Sales Associates at Home Depot qualify you on this, but if unsure, complying with the recommendation prevents fires because a higher wattage may overheat the fixture causing damage or a fire...^IFV
