[Built-in Microwave] Is a built-in microwave oven size good for a built-in microwave?
How about a built-in microwave
A microwave oven is generally a kitchen appliance, or a new type of stove, except that microwave ovens use microwaves to heat food instead of an open flame. Embedded microwave ovens are developed on the basis of traditional microwave ovens. Embedded microwave ovens are microwave ovens embedded in other objects. In practice, embedded microwave ovens are generally installed in cabinets in an embedded manner. Compared with traditional microwave ovens, built-in microwave ovens have the characteristics of saving space and more technological sense, and choosing built-in microwave ovens can make the whole kitchen look more tidy.
1. Embedded microwave ovens are currently mainly embedded in cabinets, which saves space compared to desktop microwave ovens. The metal texture of the oven door of the microwave oven makes the kitchen more technological and fashionable.
2. The embedded way makes the home appliances more orderly and not messy, and avoids the neat and beautiful problems that may be caused by the placement of microwave ovens;
3. Embedded The microwave oven cavity has a larger capacity, providing more and more convenient choices for cooking;
4. The built-in microwave oven is operated by induction and touch menu panel, and the intelligent operation method makes cooking more convenient. Simple and more convenient.
Dimensions of built-in microwave ovens
Generally, for a cabinet with a width of 500mm, the dimensions of built-in microwave ovens are in 595mm, the smallest built-in microwave oven body itself is 361mm, and the external dimension is also 595mm; if it is a 600×400 cabinet, the built-in microwave oven should preferably not be larger than 564×364. At present, there are very few real completely built-in microwave ovens in the Chinese market. Therefore, try to buy a built-in microwave oven that is smaller than the size of the cabinet, so as to leave some space for air flow.
Installation dimensions of built-in microwave ovens
The poor ventilation of built-in microwave ovens will affect the lifespan. Sufficient space is reserved for cabinets to ensure smooth ventilation. In the design stage of cabinets, consumers will The microwave oven should be purchased in advance, and the detailed size of the microwave oven should be informed to the cabinet designer so that the designer can design the size. Usually, when embedding a microwave oven, reserve 5 cm on the left and right sides and 10 cm at the top, so as to ensure smooth ventilation;
In addition, it should be noted that the depth of the microwave oven is deeper than that of the hanging cabinet, and the depth of the bottom plate is generally wider. (380mm~400mm), the two corners of the front end should be arc edges. The socket is designed at the back of the microwave oven, and the microwave oven is located away from children. After the embedded position of the microwave oven is designed, and before the circuit modification, a “microwave oven-specific” socket can be installed behind the microwave oven position.
The location of the microwave oven should also consider the convenience of daily use and cleaning; it should not be placed on the refrigerator or directly opposite the door; it should not share a socket with other household appliances. For microwave ovens with barbecue function, because the oven temperature is very high, the cabinets for installing electric ovens must use high-temperature-resistant electrical cabinets dedicated to electrical appliances.
Built-in Microwave Installation
A built-in microwave is a built-in microwave that is tucked into a cabinet and the door is flush with the surface of the cabinet. If you consider installing a built-in microwave oven, you need to reserve the installation space of the built-in microwave oven according to the size when making the cabinet. Usually, the reserved space will be slightly larger than the size of the microwave oven. This is because almost all microwave ovens dissipate heat from the side, while the built-in microwave oven is installed in a completely enclosed cabinet. If the size does not match or the space is insufficient, there will be no space for air circulation, there is a potential safety hazard, and the cabinet will be greatly shortened. service life.
Built-in microwave oven purchase
1. Brand. As the saying goes, “you get what you pay for”, and it’s wise to identify those brand-name microwave ovens that have been certified by national security when purchasing this “high-tech product”.
2. Model and capacity. According to the output power, microwave ovens have 500 watts, 600 watts, 800 watts, 1000 watts, etc.; according to capacity, microwave ovens have several specifications such as 17 liters, 20 liters, and 24 liters. When purchasing, it is necessary to consider not only the economic capacity of the family and the population, but also the load capacity of the family circuit. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the size of the overall kitchen reserved for the built-in microwave oven.
3. Appearance color, shape and matching of components are all part of the “appearance” of microwave ovens. When purchasing, its shape and color can be determined according to your own preferences and the overall style and tone of the home. Generally speaking, the color and luster are uniform, the gloss is good, and the patterns and characters are relatively clear. In addition, please note that the most important purpose of this step is to judge its actual quality according to its “surface quality” – to check the surface quality of the microwave oven is mainly to see whether the layer, paint or coating has mechanical bumps, scratches, internal and external Whether the surface is flat, there are five potholes, whether there are cracks, damages, etc. on each part.
4. Power-on status. After putting in the inspection supplies (such as a bowl of water), power on the microwave oven, and pay attention to the following points: Check whether the buttons and knobs are fully functional according to the instructions. Whether there is a lighting device in the furnace. Whether the glass plate in the furnace rotates. Whether there is obvious hot air exhaust, if not, it proves that its exhaust system is faulty. In its working state, whether it will stop working immediately when the furnace door is opened. Can you hear a slight “click” when you open the furnace door lightly? If it can, it proves that its latch hook is in good contact with the microswitch. Whether the noise is too loud.
