LG Electronics Expands Innovative EasyClean® Technology To Over-The-Range Microwave Ovens

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Oct. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading home appliance manufacturer LG Electronics has expanded the application of its award-winning EasyClean® technology, previously only found in LG's single- and double-oven gas and electric ranges, to four new models of over-the-range microwave ovens.

The newest line-up of over-the-range microwave ovens all offer the benefit of LG's proprietary EasyClean technology, which makes clean-up simple with just a wipe of a damp cloth and no use of harsh chemicals or scrubbing necessary. The EasyClean interior, designed to resist most stains, allows spills and splatters to come clean with just a wipe.

Two top-of-the-line over-the-range microwaves (Models LMH2235 and LMHM2237) incorporate ExtendaVent 2.0™ technology which provides more powerful and complete ventilation to help homeowners maintain a pleasant kitchen environment. While most over-the-range microwaves only cover the rear of the cooktop, ExtendaVent 2.0 extends front and back over virtually the entire cooktop, helping to reduce smoke and cooking odor. These microwaves also offer the industry's largest capacity at 2.2 cubic feet, so there is always plenty of room to heat large items.*

"At LG, we're always looking for ways to make families' lives easier, and keeping the kitchen clean and functional is a big part of that," said David VanderWaal, head of marketing for LG Electronics USA. "With the expansion of EasyClean technology into our latest over-the-range microwave ovens, clean-up is now easier than ever before so families can spend more time doing things that matter most."

The new microwaves incorporate a host of LG technologies, all of which work together to ensure powerful ventilation, optimal cooking and energy savings. The LG QuietPower™ system provides strong ventilation, quietly. Helping to eliminate cooking time guesswork, all models feature LG Sensor Cooking, a humidity-sensing technology that determines when food is cooked and automatically turns off the microwave to help prevent over-cooking.

The microwaves feature an energy savings key that conserves energy by shutting off the display once the unit is inactive for five minutes. These models also feature a sleek design with LG SmoothTouch™ glass controls, wide window panel and a premium stainless steel finish to enhance the look of any kitchen. Their design complements other LG kitchen appliances including ranges and refrigerators.

Combining form and function for the best in cooking technology, the new EasyClean microwaves are available now nationwide at the following manufacturer's suggested retail prices:

• LG Model LMHM2237: $499
• LG Model LMH2235: $449
• LG Model LMV2031: $349
• LG Model LMVM2033: $399
