Instruction manual
1
If you decide to integrate a microwave oven, remember that the main thing is to ensure that there is sufficient airflow for heat dissipation. Overheating of the device can lead to breakdown, so be sure to leave a gap for the influx of cold and venting heated air. The following distances are required for a stove with grill and convection: on the sides and back 10 cm and on top 20 cm. If you use it only for heating food, 3-5 cm will be enough. Today special built-in microwave ovens are produced, air is vented into them through the front panel, so they do not require clearance.
2
When designing your kitchen, decide where you’ll place your microwave to make the most of your space. You can form a column from the microwave and oven (or refrigerator), you can hang it above the desktop, or mount it in a rack of drawers for kitchen utensils.
3
Consider a furnace mounting system. To do this, buy a special frame or make it yourself from the corners. To make a frame yourself, measure your microwave with a tape measure, from a corner (for example, 25x4 or 30x4) file pieces of the desired length. Weld them or fasten them with bolts, then paint the structure in a suitable color. Think of a solid wall mount because the microwave is pretty heavy on its own. Note that the door must open and close freely, while maintaining access to all buttons.
4
Place the device in the designated niche and mount the frame from the outside. Securely fix the structure by fixing it to the wall.
5
If you plan to put the microwave on the shelf, make the shelf a few centimeters shorter so that it does not reach the wall, or drill holes in it. Thus, you will get a good ventilation gap, invisible from the outside.
