LG LMV1680BB BB 1.6 cu. ft. over-the-range microwave black

Who likes to be in control?

Simple isn't always best. If you remember, your old microwave oven had two settings: On and Off. That was great if you wanted to use the microwave either to store extra plates or to heat something to unpredictably hot states. So, not that great. Bringing you a wide range of control over every item you place inside it, the LMV1680 microwave from LG sports a variety of quick and convenient cooking options. Ten power levels let you customize the oven's settings for each individual dish, while specialty settings like Add 30 Seconds, Hold Warm, and Melt/Soften let you tack on extra cooking time without stopping the oven, keep a dish warm while the rest of the meal cooks, and melt or soften tricky foods like butter or chocolate chips.

Take your leftovers for a spin

We hate to break this to you, but microwave technology isn't perfect. Microwave ovens concentrate heating/cooking energy in one area of the oven, so simply placing a dish inside might not result in even heating and cooking. Enter the turntable . . . By simply rotating your food around within the oven's interior, the LMV1680's 12.7" turntable helps deliver foods that are evenly heated and cooked. Oh, and a bi-level cooking rack adds a second shelf level, letting you take full advantage of the oven's interior cooking capacity.

Cooking, clearly

Cooking can be a volatile endeavor. Billowing steam rises from a pot of boiling pasta water, blackened meats sizzle and smoke as they sear, a lazy pot of spaghetti sauce heavily burps and bubbles at a low simmer, and suddenly you've got a kitchen full of vapors. Your new LMV1680 is no mere microwave . . . it's an over-the-range microwave. A two-speed, 300CFM venting fan draws all that smoke and steam away from your range top, collecting the mess in a carbon-coated charcoal filtration system. Teamed up with built-in incandescent cooktop lighting, the LMV1680's venting system gives you a clear view of all your range-top culinary marvels.
