COOKING UTENSILS
USE
OVENPROOF GLASS (treated for high intensity heat): Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles, and bowls without metallic trim.
CHINA:
Bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without metallic trim.
PLASTIC:
Plastic wrap (as a cover)-- lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food. As the food heats it may melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches the food.
Use plastic dishes, cups, semirigid freezer containers, and plastic bags only for short cooking times. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food.
PAPER:
Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins, and paper plates with no metallic trim or design. Look for the manufacturer's label for use in the microwave oven.

COOKING UTENSILS

MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE

DO NOT USE

METAL UTENSILS:

Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, or foil trays. Metal utensils can cause arcing, which can damage your microwave oven.

METAL DECORATION:

Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the oven.

ALUMINUM FOIL:

Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing. Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side walls and door of the oven.

WOOD:

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven. Baskets react in the same way.

TIGHTLY COVERED UTENSILS:

Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered utensils.

Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking.

Tightly closed pouches could explode.

BROWN PAPER:

Avoid using brown paper bags.

They absorb too much heat and could burn.

FLAWED OR CHIPPED UTENSILS:

Any utensil that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the oven.

METAL TWIST TIES:

Remove metal twist ties from plastic or paper bags.

They become hot and could cause a fire.

Do not use recycled paper products in the microwave oven.

They sometimes contain impurities that cause sparks to occur.

The LG LMV1813ST, LMV1813SB, and LMV1813SW models share several key features that make them stand out in the crowded appliance market. One of the main qualities these microwaves possess is the spacious 1.8 cubic feet capacity, allowing users to easily accommodate large dishes and platters. This generous interior space is complemented by LG’s smart inverter technology, which provides precise cooking power distribution. This innovation ensures that food heats evenly, minimizing the chances of cold spots in reheated meals.

All three models include a powerful 1000-watt microwave output, ensuring that cooking times are efficient without sacrificing performance. With the addition of sensor cooking technology, these microwaves automatically detect humidity levels and adjust cooking times for optimal results. This feature is especially useful for busy households, making meal preparation easier and more reliable.

The design of the LMV1813 series also emphasizes user comfort. An intuitive control panel with easy-to-read buttons simplifies navigation through the various cooking settings. Users can choose from multiple pre-set cooking options tailored for different food types, enhancing versatility in meal preparation. Moreover, the eco-friendly LED lighting not only illuminates the cooking area but also consumes less energy than traditional bulbs.

Ventilation is another significant characteristic of these over-the-range microwaves. They come equipped with a powerful exhaust system that effectively removes smoke, steam, and odors from the kitchen environment. This is especially helpful during heavy cooking sessions, maintaining a clean and pleasant atmosphere in the cooking space.

The design aesthetics of the LMV1813 series models cater to varying kitchen styles, with stainless steel (ST), black stainless steel (SB), and white (SW) finishes available. This ensures that customers can find a variant that seamlessly fits their décor.
