Benefits of a Built in Microwave Over Oven A microwave oven with integrated microwave lets you cook and heat your food quickly and easily. GE provides a range of designs, cooking techniques and control options to suit your kitchen's setup. Built-in microwaves are placed behind cabinets or in recessing walls to give them a an elegant and seamless look. These models require professional installation. Space Saver The microwave is one of the most frequently used kitchen appliances, but it can also take up valuable counter space. You can free up counter space by moving the microwave to a different space, such as a kitchen island. One of the most well-known options is an over-the-range (OTR) microwave. This option is conveniently hidden behind your stove, can be particularly useful in kitchens that are small and have little space. Additionally some OTR models can double as a vent hood to your cooktop, which is beneficial in reducing the buildup of steam. Installing a microwave integrated into your cabinetry can save you space. This type of appliance offers an elegant, seamless look that can match the color, finish or style of your other kitchen fixtures and cabinets. It can also provide an overall look that is more minimalist in your kitchen. This is great for homeowners who prefer a clean, uncluttered appearance. Installing a built-in microwave could require a professional installation or a kitchen remodel. Based on the layout of your home it is possible to cut a space in walls to accommodate the appliance, but this requires proper framing and reinforcement and should be left to professionals. Additionally, built-in microwaves need adequate ventilation to ensure that they don't overheat and damage 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 certain manufacturers offer trim kits with up to 1 ½ inch of additional space for ventilation. A third option to reduce space is a microwave with a drawer that can be installed under your counter or inside an island. This type of microwave is easy to access, suitable for all users and requires less countertop space. It also helps to prevent hot dishes or containers from falling off the edge of the microwave or being knocked over. A final consideration for a space-saving microwave is its door design. A lot of brands have doors that opens the same way as other kitchen appliances, such as dropping-down or slide-out. This lets you integrate your microwave seamlessly into your cooking workflow. Some models feature a sleek and smooth exterior that wards off fingerprints for better, cleaner appearance. Convenience A built in microwave over oven has a stylish, convenient and easy-to-clean design. In contrast to countertop models they're usually at eye level to make it easier to access and come with turntables which reduce the need to constantly shift food from plate to plate. Additionally, built-in microwaves often come with options that improve functionality, such as EasyConvection oven conversion technology and broil elements that allow you to brown or crisp foods. In addition to saving 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 design that other appliances may not be able to match. If it's installed above the stove or in a separate cabinet, these microwaves seamlessly blend into your kitchen to create a tailored appearance that shows you've invested in your kitchen and your home. Built-in microwaves and ovens are available in a broad variety of sizes as well as power levels and features to match any kitchen configuration. They can be placed under your counter with a drawer design for a more integrated design that is a perfect fit into your cabinetry and requires no extra space. With top-quality finishes and features, these microwaves are sure to complement the style of your kitchen and elevate your cooking and entertaining experience. While microwaves built into ovens are handy but they aren't as versatile as the microwaves that stand on their own. Depending on the place you install yours, it might require more space than other microwaves. They're also not as portable, and you can't easily change the model if you want something different. If you place your microwave above the range, you'll require an extra kitchen space to accommodate the ventilation system required by this configuration. You'll need either an ducting system that sends smoke outside or a recirculating ventilation system that draws air through the microwave before transferring it to the home. Consider a built-in microwave to the kitchen that is small. It can be mounted to a cabinet, wall or island. Convenient Controls Microwaves have a wide range of controls based on the model. The most common features are turntables, preset functions like defrosting and reheating as well as 30 second buttons. Certain models come with child safety features that prevent accidental operation of the appliance. Many microwaves also come with pre-made recipes and cooking times to make the process of preparing meals faster and easier. This feature is beneficial for cooks who aren't sure of the time to cook certain foods or for those who aren't comfortable with the specific cooking techniques used in different cuisines. KitchenAid brand offers a wide selection of built-in and over the-range microwaves that are designed to match the style and finish of your other appliances for an integrated look in your kitchen. Select from stainless steel and black finishes that are perfect for 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. Contrary to models that are built into countertops built-in microwaves are fitted into a fixed space in the kitchen cabinets or walls for a sleek, custom appearance. They generally use the same internal components like countertop models, but with a few exceptions. These models are available in various sizes, including those designed to fit in a compact space and their exteriors could feature a door that opens either in a left-to right swing-out or drop-down fashion. Some microwaves that are over-the-range like those made by Whirlpool® are able to double as vent hoods to your kitchen stove. They have an exhaust system built-in to vent fumes outside and recycle air. Others have a built-in charcoal filter that removes odors and moisture from your kitchen. Countertop models sit on the counter in your kitchen and do not require venting hookups, or special installations which makes them a great option for rental properties or anyone who wants to avoid costly changes to their kitchens. Certain models include trim kits to close the gap between your microwave and other countertop appliances, such as coffee pots, bread makers or toaster ovens. Energy Efficiency Microwaves are much more efficient at heating water and food compared to other cooking methods. They also use less energy than stovetop ovens because they focus the microwave's energy on the liquid in the, rather than on heating the air or other elements surrounding it. This is why they can heat food much faster than conventional ovens. They can be placed in your lower or upper cabinets, and are available with retro or modern style to fit any kitchen design. In this notice of proposed rulemaking (“SNOPR”), the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (DOE) proposes new or modified energy conservation standards for microwave ovens that will help consumers save money on their operating costs. built in oven with microwave and Conservation Act (“EPCA”) requires DOE to periodically determine whether stricter standards are economically viable and technologically feasible and result in significant energy savings. This SNOPR contains DOE's analyses and findings to assess the impact of new or amended energy standards for microwave ovens on the consumer. The analysis includes a market and technology assessment, a screening and engineering analysis and a national impact analysis. The energy usage analysis calculates the annual average microwave ovens operating hours in representative sampled households. This analysis is used to calculate energy savings as well as other consumer analyses within this SNOPR. The analysis is based on RECS field data from various regions and takes into consideration the various patterns of use of microwave ovens across different households and also the variation in electricity prices across the region. To assess the impact of new or modified standards on household operating costs, DOE conducted LCC and PBP analyses to estimate the cost over time of purchasing and using microwave ovens at different efficiency levels. The LCC and PBP calculations are built on the computer model that utilizes the Monte Carlo simulation to incorporate uncertainties and variations into the analyses. In addition to the analyses of energy use and LCC/PBP, this SNOPR contains an evaluation of the national impact of the new or amended standards based on the NIA spreadsheet model. The NIA model calculates the industry net present value (INPV) in terms of energy saving from potential amended or a new standard in the form energy savings for the site and FFC savings.
