Key Features

• Smart Inverter heating: Uses inverter control to vary power smoothly instead of simple on/off cycling, improving even heating and allowing more precise low-power cooking and defrosting.
• Integrated grill for browning: The grill element works together with the microwave to grill and brown foods such as chicken pieces, sausages, vegetables or cheese-topped dishes, giving more versatility than a solo microwave.
• Inverter Defrost modes: Dedicated defrost programs (four inverter defrost categories in the LG spec) are designed to thaw food more evenly by controlling output more accurately than standard fixed-power defrost.
• Multiple auto and sensor programs: The official specification lists several cooking modes including Sensor Cook, Melt, Soften, Warm and Proof, helping automate everyday tasks like softening butter, proving dough or reheating plates.
• Stable turntable and larger usable space: A large 360 mm turntable with multi-point support increases stability for heavier dishes, while the “Smaller size, larger capacity” internal layout maximises usable cavity space.
• EasyClean™ antibacterial cavity: The EasyClean™ interior is designed to resist sticking and supports antibacterial performance, making splashes and residue easier to wipe away with a damp cloth.
• Smart Diagnosis™ and safety features: Smart Diagnosis™ helps service centres identify certain issues faster, while a built-in Child Lock and clock/timer functions enhance day-to-day usability and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the capacity of the LG 42L NeoChef Grill Microwave (MH8265CIS)?
The oven capacity is listed as 42 litres, which is suitable for most family-size plates, serving dishes and microwave-safe cookware used in Kenyan homes.

 Is this a solo microwave, grill microwave or convection oven?
The MH8265CIS is a grill microwave oven. It combines standard microwave heating with a grill element but does not include full convection fan-oven functionality. It is designed mainly for reheating, cooking, defrosting and grilling/browning rather than full baking.

How powerful is the microwave and the grill?
LG East Africa’s specification lists a microwave power output of 1200 W, with microwave power consumption of 1880 W, grill power consumption of 950 W and combined grill+microwave consumption of 1700 W.

What does Smart Inverter mean on this model?
Smart Inverter continuously varies the microwave output to hold more accurate temperatures compared with basic on/off control. In practice, this helps with even heating, faster cooking and more controlled defrosting, particularly for foods that are sensitive to overheating at the edges.

Can I use the LG MH8265CIS to brown or crisp food?
Yes. The unit includes a grill function which can be used on its own or in combination with microwave power to brown and crisp foods like chicken pieces, sausages, vegetables or cheese-topped dishes. It does not replace a full convection oven but significantly extends what you can do compared with a solo microwave.

What is EasyClean™ and how do I maintain the interior?
EasyClean™ is LG’s antibacterial interior coating designed to resist sticking and simplify cleaning. Most splashes and residue can be wiped off with a soft damp cloth. For tougher spots, LG recommends avoiding abrasive pads that might damage the coating.

Does the LG 42L NeoChef Grill Microwave (MH8265CIS) have safety features for homes with children?
Yes. The specification includes a Child Lock that disables the control panel to help prevent accidental operation by children. There is also a clock and time setting so you can better manage cooking durations.

What power supply does it need in Kenya?
The required power supply is stated as 240 V / 50 Hz, which matches the standard mains supply in Kenya. As with all high-power appliances, it should be connected to a suitable socket and used according to the safety instructions in the manual. :

What is included in the box when I buy this model?
