How to Choose a Built in Microwave For Wall Unit
A built-in microwave in wall units gives a stylish appearance in your kitchen, and also frees up counter space. They can be installed at an appropriate height or in close proximity to other appliances like an oven mounted on the wall.
They can be put in a cabinet, appliance garage or hidden from view. Trim kits are available for an individual look. They can be equipped with child safety locks to stop accidental use.
Size
In wall microwave or attached to the wall, microwaves with built-in microwaves can help reduce counter space and give your kitchen a modern appearance. This option is perfect for kitchens of all sizes, and allows you to benefit from a kitchen remodel without having an entire renovation. Consider the dimensions and features of microwaves to ensure it is suited to your needs.
Before drilling into your cabinetry or drywall, carefully measure the opening that you'll use for the built-in microwave to ensure it's the correct size. Some models require that vents be inserted into the wall. This can add costs and make the process more complicated. If possible, have an electrician or another professional install your new microwave to help prevent mistakes.
The capacity of an interior built-in microwave determines how much food you can cook at a time. If you're cooking for a family, opt for a larger model that can accommodate all meals. If you prefer cooking foods that require multiple steps, like casseroles, think about an oven with an expandable turntable to be able to hold large dishes.
The dimensions of the exterior of built-in microwaves differ based on the model. However they are usually standard. Review the product's details to find out how large and deep, tall and wide a microwave is. Note the number of power settings, and also whether the microwave features an easy start button or a defrost feature.
Select microwaves also have easy-to-use controls that display a digital image that lets you know the progress of your meal at an instant. Some models have convenient features, such as a sensor that automatically sets the proper amount of water to steam popcorn and vegetables. The more options for controlling your micro's built-in controller the more easy it will be to heat and cook your food with precision.
Design
Microwaves built into cabinets, or fixed to the wall, can make space for counter space and give the kitchen a more integrated appearance. This option requires an electrician to hook up the microwave in the electrical system of your home. This option is more expensive than a counter-top microwave.
Some manufacturers have an option to trim the cabinetry, which allows kitchen Designer to incorporate a microwave inside the cabinetry alongside the other kitchen appliances and fixtures. This is an excellent way to create a custom look in your kitchen without spending the money for a complete remodel. The microwave needs adequate air clearance across all sides and the back for it to function properly, so a Kitchen Designer needs to carefully plan the design for this kind of installation.
Another popular option is stacking the built-in microwave with a matching oven. This is a great option for Transitional and Traditional styled kitchens. Manufacturers provide trim kits to match the dimensions of conventional wall ovens, for both flat microwaves and louvered ones.
A Kitchen Designer can use cabinet doors either a tambour or flip-up one to hide the microwave when not in use. There are various door designs to pick from, including tambour, pocket and swing-up. These doors will assist in blending the microwave with the rest of the kitchen cabinetry.
One thing that should never be done is to keep the microwave in the window. It could block the sunlight, and it's not a wise choice as a microwave could be hot and shatter or damage a window. Additionally the microwave that is stored directly in front of windows can block view and make it difficult to keep your Kitchen clean.
Power
Consider a built-in microwave in your cabinet for a sleek look. These models can be set at a level that is comfortable for you or in close proximity to other appliances such as wall ovens to make it easier for cooking and meal preparation.
Many microwaves with built-in ovens are available in a range of sizes that will fit into your space. There are models available with sizes of 27 inches and 24 inches to fit most cabinets and 30 inches models that can be slid over the stovetop. You can pick from a range of wattages ranging from 800 to 1200 watts. The more powerful the wattage, faster your food will cook and the more evenly it will be cooked.
Before purchasing any items be sure to measure the cabinet opening and electrical outlet. Installing your microwave may require a professional's help to ensure its proper functioning and conformity to local electrical codes.
Before you begin any installation, make sure the power is off at the junction boxes and remove the cover as needed. Using an UL approved or CSA approved half-inch diameter conduit connector, connect the cable from the junction box to the new microwave. Use a screw or screws to make the connection more secure and tighten the conduit.
When the installation is complete, your kitchen will be sleek and elegant. This will free up counter space for other tasks. To achieve a uniform design, opt for a stainless steel microwave that matches other Whirlpool(r) appliances to create a cohesive kitchen design. For even more convenience, you can also add an integrated wall oven microwave combination that has all the functions of a large microwave and oven in one handy appliance.
Controls
The controls on a microwave built-in allow you to set meal timers, defrost food items and cook a variety of recipes. Some of them are more user-friendly than others, which is why it's important to choose a model that has the features you use most often. For example, if you frequently cook pizza or frozen meals in the microwave, opt for a model that comes pre-programmed settings. Other options for controlling the microwave include sensor cooking, which adjusts the power levels based on the type of food you are cooking, and defrost setting, which lets you defrost your food in a fraction of the time eliminating moisture from frozen foods before microwaving.
Built-in microwaves are more stylish and elegant than countertop microwaves. They're installed into a cabinet or fixed to the wall, freeing the counter space and creating a seamless look. Built-in microwaves are available in various finishes, including white, black and stainless steel. Some models come with a Flush Built In Design that allows them to fit flush into conventional cabinet depths.
Similar to the countertop microwaves, the majority of built-in models feature doors that open and closes to reveal the microwave inside. Some hinged, while others slide out or open as a drawer. There are models with a right-to-left swing-out or drop-down doors, which allow you to open the microwave in your preferred direction and position. Built-in microwaves require ventilation to properly circulate air. These models are more complicated to install and should only be handled by experts. This is to ensure safety and adequate ventilation. Some built-in models may be more expensive than freestanding microwaves, depending on the model and the type of installation.
Safety
It's important to ensure the stability of your microwave, since it's a crucial kitchen appliance. This will help to prevent damage and accidents and also ensure an organized and functional kitchen. Use brackets and screws to secure your microwave to shelves. Follow the manufacturer's directions to avoid damaging or loosening your microwave.
If you prefer a less streamlined look, consider installing your microwave inside the upper or lower cupboard. This will hide the wires and cords and it can also be a safer option as it reduces your chances of spilling liquids or food. To give your microwave a more integrated look, you can use the trim kit to fill in the space between the cabinet and microwave.
Another method to hide your microwave is to put it in a niche or recessed area on the wall. This is the ideal solution for smaller spaces and will help free up counter space. However, it's important to note that this arrangement will require a professional installation, which will come at cost.
You can also place the microwave in the corner of a room. This is a good solution for small kitchens, but you'll have to sit or bend to reach the microwave.
It's important to regularly clean your microwave and surrounding areas to get rid of any debris, particularly flammable materials. Examine the electrical wires and power cords of your microwave on a regular schedule to ensure they're in good working order. If you spot any signs of wear and tear, it's recommended you seek out a professional for repair or replacement.
