The LG MJEN286UBW 28 L Charcoal Convection Microwave Oven is designed for kitchens where one appliance needs to handle multiple cooking requirements, from everyday reheating and grilling to baking, roasting and automated recipe preparation. Its 28-litre capacity is supported by convection and grill cooking modes, 5 microwave power levels and a 900 W microwave power output, giving users flexibility for different cooking tasks.
Choosing the right cooking time and settings can be inconvenient, particularly when preparing unfamiliar recipes.

These features reduce the need to manually manage settings for supported cooking tasks while expanding the range of dishes that can be prepared using the microwave oven.
For users who want more versatility beyond basic microwave heating, the appliance includes a Charcoal Lighting Heater, 360° Motorised Rotisserie, Diet Fry, 30 Heart Friendly Recipes and specialised cooking functions such as ghee preparation. Its countertop installation, Glass Touch controls, LED display, stainless steel interior and included cooking accessories support convenient everyday use across a wide variety of recipes.
Key Features
Scan-To-Cook with Wi-Fi Connectivity
Selecting cooking settings manually can be inconvenient when preparing supported packaged foods or following unfamiliar cooking instructions. The Scan-To-Cook feature works with the oven's Wi-Fi connectivity to simplify supported cooking operations, while ThinQ integration adds connected functionality to the microwave oven.
301 Auto Cook Menu Options
Planning different meals every day can become repetitive when an appliance offers only basic heating functions. The 301 Auto Cook Menu options provide a broad selection of preset cooking choices, helping users prepare different dishes without manually configuring every cooking parameter from the beginning.
Charcoal Lighting Heater
Conventional microwave heating alone may not provide the cooking flexibility required for varied recipes. The Charcoal Lighting Heater expands the oven's cooking capabilities and works alongside the convection, grill and microwave functions for a wider range of food preparation methods.
360° Motorised Rotisserie
Manual turning during roasting can make barbecue-style preparation inconvenient. The 360° Motorised Rotisserie continuously rotates food during cooking, supporting more uniform roasting without requiring repeated manual intervention.
Diet Fry
Preparing fried-style snacks conventionally can require significant oil. Diet Fry provides a dedicated cooking option for preparing selected fried-style recipes with reduced oil usage, offering an alternative cooking method for foods such as samosas, gujiyas and pakoras.
30 Heart Friendly Recipes
Finding suitable preset recipes can be difficult when users want more structured meal options. The microwave includes 30 Heart Friendly Recipes, providing dedicated programmed choices within the appliance's cooking menu.
Convection Baking and Grilling
A microwave that only reheats food can limit its usefulness in a busy kitchen. The MJEN286UBW supports convection baking and grilling in addition to microwave cooking, allowing one appliance to handle a wider variety of cooking techniques.
5 Microwave Power Levels
Different foods require different heating intensity, and using a single power setting can make cooking less flexible. The microwave provides 5 power levels, allowing the cooking intensity to be adjusted according to the food and preparation requirement.
Automatic and Manual Cooking
Preset programs are convenient for routine cooking, while experienced users may prefer more control over certain recipes. The oven supports both automatic and manual cooking, providing flexibility between preset convenience and user-controlled operation.
Glass Touch Controls with LED Display
Complicated control layouts can make frequent appliance use inconvenient. The right-side Glass Touch control panel and LED display provide a clear interface for selecting cooking functions and monitoring settings.
28 L Capacity with 320 mm Turntable
Limited internal space can restrict the size of cookware that can be used inside a microwave oven. The 28-litre capacity is paired with a 320 mm turntable, providing practical internal cooking space for everyday food preparation.
Stainless Steel Interior
Food spills and splashes are common during reheating and cooking. The stainless steel interior provides a practical cavity surface for routine microwave use and cleaning.
Child Lock
Accidental changes to appliance controls can be a concern in homes where children may access the kitchen. The Child Lock function helps restrict unintended operation of the control panel.
Add 30 Seconds Function
Small extensions in cooking time should not require resetting an entire program. The Add 30 Seconds function allows users to quickly extend the operating time when additional heating or cooking is required.
Smart Diagnosis
Appliance troubleshooting can be inconvenient when the cause of an operational issue is unclear. Smart Diagnosis provides diagnostic support functionality that can assist in identifying appliance-related issues.
LED Cavity Light
Checking food during cooking can be difficult without adequate internal visibility. The LED cavity light illuminates the oven interior, helping users observe food during operation.
