Benefits of a Built in Microwave Over Oven A microwave oven that has built-in microwaves allows you to cook and heat your food quickly and efficiently. GE provides a range of cooking styles, cooking technology and control options that will fit your kitchen's needs. Countertop microwaves are placed on the counter and plug into an outlet, while built-in models are installed in a recessed wall or in cabinets to create a sleek, built-in look. These models require professional installation. Space Saver The microwave is among the most used kitchen appliances however, it can take up valuable counter space. You can reclaim valuable counter space by moving the microwave to a new location, like a kitchen island. Over-the-range microwaves (OTRs) are a popular option. This model is conveniently hidden under the stove, can be particularly useful in small kitchens with little space. Some OTR models can also be used as an air vent for your cooktop. This can reduce the amount of steam that builds up. Another space-saving solution is to install a microwave with a built-in design which blends seamlessly into the cabinetry. This type of appliance offers an elegant, integrated design that can be matched to the color, finish or style of your kitchen appliances and cabinets. It can also help to create a more minimalist look in your kitchen, which is ideal for those who prefer a clean and uncluttered look. Installing a built-in Microwave might require a professional installation or a kitchen remodel. It is possible to, based on the layout of your home, to cut an opening in the wall to install the appliance. However it will require professional framing and strengthening. In addition, microwaves with built-ins require sufficient ventilation to prevent overheating and damaging the appliance. According to Sam Cipiti of R. M. Tunis Kitchens and Baths, in Chevy Chase, Maryland the minimum cabinet depth of a built-in oven is 15 inches. However certain manufacturers offer trim kits that provide up to 1 ½ inch of additional space for ventilation. A third option to reduce space is a drawer-style microwave that can be placed beneath your countertop or within an island. This type of microwave is easy to access and suitable for everyone and requires less countertop space. It can also prevent hot dishes or containers from falling off the edge or being knocked down. Another important aspect to consider when choosing a space-saving microwave is its door design. Many brands offer a door that opens the same way as other kitchen appliances, such as sliding out or dropping down. Continued lets you integrate your microwave seamlessly into your cooking process. Some models also have a smooth and sleek exterior that resists fingerprints for better, cleaner appearance. Convenience A built-in microwave that is over the oven has a stylish design that is easy to clean and convenient. They are usually placed near the eye level to make it easier to access and are equipped with turntables to reduce the need to move food from one plate to another. Built-in microwaves are usually equipped with features that improve their utility, for instance EasyConvection technology to convert ovens and a broiler which can brown or crisp food items. In addition to saving counter space, a built-in microwave over the oven can increase the value of your home and appearance by offering a luxurious appearance that other appliances might not be able to match. The microwaves can be placed on top of your stove or in a separate cupboard. They seamlessly blend into the kitchen, giving the appearance of a custom-designed appearance that demonstrates how much you've put in your home and kitchen. Built-in microwaves over ovens are available in a broad variety of dimensions, power levels and features to fit any kitchen layout. Install them underneath the counter in a drawer style to create an integrated look that is a perfect fit within existing cabinetry. This requires no additional space. These microwaves, with their luxurious designs and top-of-the-line functions can enhance the appearance of your kitchen and your dining and cooking experiences. Although microwaves with built-in microwaves over ovens are useful, they are not as versatile as the microwaves that stand on their own. Depending on the location you put your microwave, it will require more space to operate than other microwaves. They are also not as portable, and you won't have the ability to easily switch out the model for a new one if you decide that you prefer something different. If you install your microwave above the range, you'll need a larger kitchen to accommodate the ventilation system that is required by this arrangement. You'll either need an option for ducting that directs smoke out to the outside or a recirculating venting system that pulls air from the microwave into the house. Consider a built-in microwave to a small kitchen. It can be put into a wall, cabinet or island. Convenient Controls Microwaves offer a wide variety of controls, based on model. Some features include turntables presets like defrosting or reheating, as well as buttons that can last for up to 30 minutes. Certain models come with child safety features to prevent accidental operation of the appliance. Many microwaves have pre-programmed recipes and cooking times that make the process of cooking food faster and simpler. This feature is beneficial for cooks who don't know how long to cook certain foods or for those who aren't acquainted with the specific cooking methods employed in various cuisines. KitchenAid brand offers a wide range of built-in and over-the-range microwaves that are designed to match the style and finish of your other appliances to create an integrated look to your kitchen. There's a range of stainless steel models and black finishes to complement any kitchen design. 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 set in a fixed space of your kitchen cabinets or walls to give a sleek and custom look. They typically have the same components inside as countertop models, with a few exceptions. They are available in various sizes, with some designed to fit into a small space and their exteriors can feature a door that opens in a left-to-right swing-out or drop-down fashion. Some over-the-range microwaves, such as those from Whirlpool® are able to serve as vent hoods for your kitchen stove. They have an exhaust system built-in to let fumes out and circulate air. Some microwaves come with a charcoal filter that removes odors and moisture in your kitchen. Countertop models are placed on the counter in the kitchen. They don't require venting or any special installation. This makes them a good choice for those who rent their homes or wish to avoid expensive modifications to their kitchens. Certain models have trim kits that can be used to fill the gap between the microwave and other countertop appliances, such as coffee pots, toaster ovens or bread makers. Energy Efficiency Microwaves require less energy to heat food and water than other cooking methods. They also use less power than stovetops that are conventional because the microwaves focus their energy on the liquid within rather than heating the air surrounding it. This is why they can cook food more quickly than a conventional oven. They can be put in within the upper or lower cabinets and come in retro or modern styles to match any kitchen. In this notice of proposed rulemaking (“SNOPR”) The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (DOE) proposes new or amended energy conservation standards for microwave ovens that will reduce the cost of operating costs. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) requires DOE to regularly assess whether stricter standards are technically feasible and economically justified and will yield significant energy savings. This SNOPR contains the analyses and results that DOE conducted to assess the impact on consumers of the new or amended energy conservation standards for microwave ovens. The analysis includes a market and technology assessment, a screening and engineering analysis, and an analysis of the impact on the nation. The energy usage analysis calculates the average annual microwave oven operating hours in households from a representative sample. This analysis is used to calculate energy savings as well as other consumer analysis within this SNOPR. The analysis is made using RECS field data from various regions and considers the various patterns of use of microwave ovens in various households and the variations in the regional electricity prices. To determine the impact of potential new or amended standards on the cost of operating a household, DOE conducted LCC and PBP analyses to determine the cost over time of purchasing and using a microwave oven at different efficiency levels. The LCC and PBP calculations use a computer model built on Monte Carlo simulations to incorporate variations and uncertainty into the analyses. This SNOPR includes an evaluation of the impact of new or amended standards at the national level, based on the NIA spreadsheet. The NIA model calculates the industry's net present value (INPV) in terms of energy savings from the potential amendment or new standard in the form of site energy savings and FFC savings.
