the microwave needs to be 19 inches away from the cook top. like in this picture there should be 19 inches above the cooktop . the microwave should have a vent hood. this should be right but in most manual it tells you how far away is necessary
The rule of thumb is 18" the same as your cabinets
Continued Question: Can it be used on the counter like a regular microwave or does it have to be raised up (light and fan under microwave)? raised
Yes there is a fan under the microwave that serves as a ventilation system for people who chooses to place this microwave over their stoves.
Food can be defrosted under cold water, or in the microwave (although microwave settings vary), or ideally in the refrigerator.
I believe you are asking about under-cabinet microwave ovens. There is no electrical code rules for spacing between the stove top and the bottom of an under-cabinet microwave oven other than to "follow the manufacturer's instructions". The manufacturers of both appliances probably have substantial requirements in their instructions relating to the spacing.
Absolutely, you can even do that by yourself because if the size is right, the microwave would fit right into your countertop with a few screws. The microwave has a fan under it but no lights.
if motor is in place use a jackstand and jack up from either the downpipe or under the oil pan use a piece of wood in between though then install....
yes it is necessary..
Absolutely, the bottom of the microwave is heat and water resistant.
in the refrigerator
No, this microwave can be mounted right underneath the cabinet without any venting space required.
It is a metal pan, so unless you have a microwave that allows u to cook with metal I'd say no. There is a Microwave category under the Easybake name for some different containers and mixes that are for the microwave.
The GE Spacemaker Over the Range Microwave Oven has a two speed fan, and a light with one setting.
