Benefits of a Built in Microwave Over Oven

A built-in microwave over an oven lets you cook and reheat food quickly and efficiently. GE provides a variety of styles, cooking technologies and control options that can be adapted to your kitchen.

Countertop microwaves are placed on the counter and plug into an outlet or outlet, while built-in models can be installed in a recessed wall or between cabinets for an elegant, built-in appearance. These types of microwaves require professional installation.

Space Saver

The microwave is among the most commonly used kitchen appliances however, it can take up valuable counter space. There are a variety of clever ways to reclaim countertop space by moving your microwave to a different location, such as in a kitchen island or recessing it into the wall.

Over-the-range microwaves (OTRs) are a popular choice. This option is conveniently hidden away above your stovetop, can be particularly useful in small kitchens with limited space. Certain OTR models also double as an exhaust for your cooktop. This can reduce steam buildup.

Installing a microwave integrated into your cabinetry can save you space.

Installing a built-in Microwave may require an expert installation or kitchen remodel. It is possible depending on the layout of your house to cut a hole in a wall for the appliance. However it will require professional framing and support. Built-in microwaves also require adequate ventilation to avoid overheating and 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 certain manufacturers offer trim kits that provide up to 1 1/2 inch of extra space to allow 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 can also prevent hot dishes or containers falling off the edge or being thrown down.

It may take more space for your microwave to operate, depending on where it is installed. They're also not as portable, and you cannot easily alter the model should you want something else.

If you place your microwave above the range, you'll require a larger kitchen to accommodate the ventilation system that is required by this configuration. You'll need either an ducting system that sends smoke away from the home or a recirculating ventilation system that draws air through the microwave and into the home. If you have a smaller kitchen you might want to consider a separate built-in microwave that can be incorporated in the wall, cabinet or island.

Convenient Controls

Microwave ovens come with various controls that are convenient, depending on the model you choose. Common features include turntables, preset functions such as defrosting and reheating and 30-second buttons. Some models offer child safety features to prevent accidental use of the appliance.

Many microwaves also come with preset recipes and cooking times that help you prepare meals faster and easier. This feature is helpful for those who are just beginning to cook and are unsure of how long to cook certain foods or who aren't familiar with the specific cooking techniques used in different cuisines.

KitchenAid brand provides a wide selection of built-in and over the-range microwaves that are designed to match the style and design of your other appliances for an integrated look in your kitchen. You can find a selection of stainless steel models, and black finishes to complement any kitchen design.

Built-in microwaves, White Built In Microwave Oven unlike countertop models, are set in a fixed space of your walls or cabinets for sleek and distinctive appearance. The internal components are usually identical to those of regular countertop models with a few exceptions. They are available in various sizes, and some are designed to fit into small spaces. The exteriors of these models may feature doors that open in a swing-out from left to right or in drop-down design.

Certain microwaves built in in the range, like the ones made by Whirlpool(r), can also be used as vent hoods. They have an exhaust system built-in to vent fumes outdoors and then recirculate the air. Others have a built-in charcoal filter to eliminate moisture and odors from your kitchen.

Countertop models sit on the counter in your kitchen and do not require venting hookups, or special installation which makes them a great option for rental properties or anyone who wants to stay clear of costly renovations to their kitchens. Certain models include trim kits that can be used to fill the gap between a microwave and other countertop appliances, such as coffee pots, toaster ovens or bread makers.

Energy Efficiency

Microwaves use less energy to heat water and food than other cooking methods. They also use less energy than stovetop ovens since they focus the microwaves' energy on the liquid inside instead of heating the air or other elements surrounding it. They can cook food quicker than conventional ovens. They can be installed either within the upper or lower cabinets and are available in modern or retro designs to match any kitchen.

In this supplemental notification of proposed rulemaking ("SNOPR") the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy proposes new or revised energy conservation standards for microwave ovens which will help consumers save money in their operating costs. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) requires DOE to periodically assess whether more stringent standards are technologically feasible and economically justified and if they can result in significant energy savings.

This SNOPR includes the analyses and results that DOE conducted to assess the impact on consumers of new or revised energy conservation standards for microwave ovens. The analysis includes a market and technology assessment as well as a screening analysis of engineering analysis, and a national impact analysis.

The energy use analysis estimates the average annual microwave oven operating hours in a sample of homes. It forms the basis for the energy savings analyses and the other consumer analysis in this SNOPR. The analysis is built on RECS field data from various regions and takes into consideration the different patterns of usage of microwave ovens in various households and also the variations in the regional electricity prices.

To evaluate the impact of possible changes or new standards on the cost of operating a household, DOE conducted LCC and PBP analyses to estimate the lifetime cost of purchasing and using microwave ovens at different efficiency levels. The LCC and PBP calculations utilize an algorithm that is based on Monte Carlo simulations to incorporate uncertainty and variation into the analyses.

In addition to the energy-use and LCC/PBP analyses in this SNOPR includes an analysis of the national impact of the new or amended standards based on the NIA spreadsheet model. The NIA model calculates the industry's net present value ("INPV") in terms of energy savings resulting from potential amended or new standards in the form of site energy savings and FFC energy savings.
