Benefits of a Built in Microwave Over Oven A built in microwave over oven allows you to cook and reheat food quickly and conveniently. GE offers a wide range of styles, cooking technologies and control options that can be adapted to your kitchen. Built-in microwaves are positioned behind cabinets or in wall recess to give them a sleek and integrated look. These types of microwaves require professional installation. Space Saver The microwave is a well-loved appliance in the kitchen, but can also occupy valuable countertop space. There are plenty of smart ways to reclaim counter space by moving your microwave to a different location, such as in an island in the kitchen or recessing it into the wall. Over-the-range microwaves (OTRs) are a popular choice. This type of microwave, which is neatly tucked behind your stove can be extremely useful in small kitchens with limited space. Furthermore certain OTR models double as a vent hood for your cooktop, which is helpful in reducing steam buildup. Installing a microwave integrated into your cabinetry can save you space. This can give you an elegant, integrated design that can be matched to the color, finish or style of your other kitchen fixtures and cabinets. It can also to create a more minimalist look in your kitchen, which is great for those who prefer an uncluttered and clean look. Installing a built-in microwavable may require a professional installation or a kitchen remodel. Depending on your home's layout it is possible to cut a space into walls to accommodate the appliance, however, this requires adequate framing and support and should be left to experts. Built-in microwaves also need 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 a built-in oven is 15 inches. However some manufacturers offer trim kits with up to 1 ½ inch of extra space to allow for ventilation. A third option to reduce space is a drawer-style microwave which can be installed below your countertop or inside an island. This design is easy to access and suitable for everyone and requires less countertop space. It can also prevent hot dishes or containers falling off the edge or being knocked down. Another important aspect to consider when choosing an efficient microwave is its door design. A lot of brands have doors that opens the same way as other kitchen appliances, like dropping-down or slide-out. This allows you to integrate your microwave seamlessly into your cooking workflow. Some models even feature a sleek and smooth exterior that is resistant to fingerprints, giving better, cleaner appearance. Convenience Built-in microwaves over ovens are stylish, convenient and easy to clean. Unlike countertop models, they're usually placed at eye level to make it easier to access and can be equipped with turntables that reduce the need to constantly shift food from plate to plate. Additionally, built-in microwaves are often equipped with features that enhance functionality like EasyConvection oven conversion technology and broiling elements that allow you to cook or brown foods. In addition to reducing counter space, a built in microwave that is atop an oven can increase the value of your home and appeal by providing a high-end look that other appliances may not be capable of matching. Whether installed above your stove or in a separate cabinet, these microwaves seamlessly blend into your kitchen, creating an elegant look that demonstrates that you've put money into your kitchen and your home. Built-in microwaves that are over ovens are available in a variety of sizes, power levels, and features that can be adapted to fit into any kitchen.

Made with premium finishes and top-of-the-line features, these microwaves are sure to complement your kitchen's aesthetic and elevate your cooking and entertaining experience. While the convenience of a built in microwave oven is evident but keep in mind that these microwaves aren't as versatile as their freestanding counterparts. They may require more space for your microwave to function, based on the location it's installed. They're also not as portable, and you cannot easily change the model should you want something else. If you place your microwave above your range, you'll need an extra kitchen space to accommodate the ventilation system that is required by this arrangement. You'll need either a ducting system that directs smoke outside or a recirculating system that draws air through the microwave before transferring it to the home. Consider a built-in microwave to small kitchens. It can be put on a wall, cabinet or island. Convenient Controls Microwaves have a wide range of controls, based on model. The most common features are turntables, preset functions such as defrosting and reheating and plus-30-second buttons. Certain models come with child safety features that prevent accidental use of the appliance. Many microwaves come with pre-programmed recipes and cooking times to make the process of preparing meals faster and easier. This feature is helpful for those who are just beginning to cook and are uncertain of the proper time to cook specific food items or who aren't familiar with the cooking techniques employed in various cuisines. KitchenAid brand offers a wide variety of built-in and oversized microwaves that are designed to match the style and appearance of other appliances for an integrated look to your kitchen. Choose from stainless steel and black finishes that will complement any kitchen. 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, unlike countertop models, are placed in a fixed space of your walls or cabinets for sleek and distinctive appearance. The internal components are typically identical to those of regular countertop models with a few exceptions. These models are available in various sizes, including those designed to fit in a compact space and their exteriors can have doors that open in a left-to-right swing-out or drop-down fashion. Some microwaves that are over-the-range like those from Whirlpool® are able to double as vent hoods to your stove in the kitchen. They also have a built-in exhaust system to let fumes out and recycle air. Some microwaves come with a charcoal filter that removes odors and moisture in your kitchen. Countertop models are positioned on the kitchen counter. They don't require venting or any special installation. This makes them a good choice for those who rent their homes or want to stay clear of costly modifications to their kitchens. Certain models include trim kits to close the gap between your microwave and other countertop appliances like coffee pots and bread makers, as well as toaster ovens. Energy Efficiency Microwaves are more efficient in heating food and water when compared to other cooking methods. They also consume less power than stovetops that are conventional because the microwaves focus their energy on the liquid in rather than heating the air around it. This means that they can heat dishes much faster than a conventional oven. They can be placed on the upper or lower cabinets, and are available in retro or modern styles to fit any kitchen. In this supplemental notification of proposed rulemaking (“SNOPR”) the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy proposes new or modified energy conservation standards for micro-wave ovens, which will save consumers money on operating costs. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) requires DOE to periodically assess whether more stringent standards are technically feasible and economically justifiable and if they can yield significant energy savings. This SNOPR provides the analysis and results that DOE performed to evaluate the effects on consumers of the new or revised energy conservation standards for microwave ovens. The analysis includes a market and technology assessment, a screening analysis as well as an engineering analysis and national impacts analysis. The energy usage analysis calculates the average annual microwave oven' operating hours in representative sampled households. This analysis is used to calculate energy savings and other consumer analyses within this SNOPR. The analysis is based on RECS field data from multiple regions, and takes into account the different patterns of usage of microwave ovens across different households and also the variation in electricity prices across the region. To assess the impact of new or amended standards on household costs, DOE conducted LCC analyses and PBP analyses to determine the lifetime cost for purchasing and using a microwave oven at various levels of efficiency. The LCC and PBP calculations are made using a computer model that uses the Monte Carlo simulation to incorporate uncertainty and variability into the analyses. This SNOPR includes an assessment of the impact of amended or new standards at the national level, based on the NIA spreadsheet. built in microwave small (INPV) in terms of energy savings resulting from potential amended or a new standard in the form of energy savings for the site and FFC savings.
