7 Useful Tips For Making The Best Use Of Your Built In Microwave Over Oven
Benefits of a Built in Microwave Over Oven

A microwave oven with integrated microwave allows you to cook and heat your food quickly and easily. GE provides a variety of designs, cooking technology and control options that will suit your kitchen.

Built-in microwaves are installed behind cabinets or in recessing walls to give them a a sleek and integrated look. These models require professional installation.


Space Saver

The microwave is a common appliance in the kitchen, however it can also occupy valuable countertop space. There are plenty of double oven and microwave built in to reclaim countertop space by moving your microwave to a different place, like the kitchen island or by recessing it into the wall.

Over-the-range microwaves (OTRs) are an increasingly popular choice. This type of microwave is tucked behind your stove is particularly helpful in small kitchens with little space. Plus, certain OTR models double as a vent hood to your cooktop, which can be helpful in reducing steam buildup.

Another way to save space is to install a built-in microwave which blends seamlessly into the cabinetry. This can give you an elegant, seamless look that can match the design, color, or finish of your other kitchen fixtures and cabinets. It can also create an overall look that is more minimalist in your kitchen. This is ideal for homeowners that prefer a minimalist, uncluttered look.

Installing a built-in Microwave might require an expert installation or kitchen remodel. Depending on your home's layout, you might be able to cut a space into a wall to accommodate the appliance, but this requires adequate framing and support and should be left to professionals. Built-in microwaves also require adequate ventilation to prevent overheating or damaging the appliance. According to Sam Cipiti of R. M. Tunis Kitchens and Baths, in Chevy Chase, Maryland the minimum cabinet depth for an oven with built-ins is 15 inches. However some manufacturers offer trim kits with up to 1 1/2 inches of extra space for ventilation.

A drawer-style microwave can be placed under your counter or inside an island. This design is easily accessible, suitable for all and requires less counter space. It also helps to prevent hot dishes or containers from falling off the edge of the microwave or getting crushed.

If you choose to install your microwave over your range, then you'll need a larger space in your kitchen to allow for the ventilation required by this arrangement. You'll either need a ducting system that can direct smoke out to the outside or a ventilator that recirculates air from the microwave into the house. If you have a smaller kitchen think about a separate built-in microwave which can be fitted inside cabinets, walls or an island.

Convenient Controls

Microwave ovens are equipped with various controls that are convenient, depending on the model you pick. Some features are turntables, presets for defrosting or reheating, and buttons for plus-30 seconds. Some models have child safety features to prevent accidental operation.

Many microwaves also have preset recipes and cooking times to make the process of preparing meals faster and easier. This feature is beneficial for cooks who don't know how long to cook certain meals or for those who aren't familiar with the specific cooking methods that are used in different cuisines.

These premium microwaves are boldly designed to bring professional-inspired styles into your home, and they're made with high-quality materials for a longer lifespan.

Built-in microwaves, in contrast to countertop models, are set in a fixed location of your kitchen cabinets or walls for a sleek and custom look. The internal components are generally similar to regular countertop models with the exception of. These models come in a variety of sizes, including those designed to fit in a compact space, and their exteriors may have doors that open in a left-to-right swing-out or drop-down manner.

Certain microwaves in the range, such as the ones made by Whirlpool(r), can also be used as vent hoods. They come with an exhaust system that is built-in to vent fumes outdoors and recirculate air. Certain microwaves have charcoal filters that eliminate odors and moisture in your kitchen.

Energy Efficiency

Microwaves require less energy to cook food and water than other cooking methods. They also consume less energy than conventional stovetop ovens because they focus the microwaves' energy on the liquid within, rather than on heating the air or other elements surrounding it. Because of this, they can cook food more quickly than a conventional oven. They can be installed in the upper or lower cabinets, and are available with retro or contemporary styles to fit any kitchen design.

In this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking ("SNOPR") The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (DOE) proposes new or modified energy conservation standards for microwave ovens, which will reduce the cost of operating costs. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act ("EPCA") requires DOE to examine on a regular basis whether the more stringent standards are economically feasible and technologically feasible and result in significant energy savings.

This SNOPR provides the analysis and findings that DOE carried out to assess the impact on consumers of new or revised energy conservation standards for microwave ovens. The analysis includes a market and technology assessment and screening analysis, an engineering analysis and national impact analysis.

The energy use analysis estimates the annual average of microwave oven operating hours in a sample of homes. This analysis is the basis of the energy savings assessments as well as the other consumer analyses included in this SNOPR. The analysis is based on RECS field data collected from multiple regions. It also takes into consideration different microwave oven usage patterns in different households as also regional variations in electricity prices.

To determine the impact of new or modified standards on the cost of operating a household, DOE conducted LCC and PBP analyses to estimate the lifetime cost of buying and using a microwave oven at different efficiency levels. The LCC and PBP calculations are made using a computer model that uses the Monte Carlo simulation to incorporate uncertainty and variability into the analysis.

This SNOPR includes an analysis of the impact of the new or amended standards at the national level, based on the NIA spreadsheet. double oven and microwave built in (INPV) in terms of energy saving from a potential amended or new standard in the form energy savings for the site and FFC savings.
