Built-in Microwave Help

babybooboo

Hello everyone,

I have just bought some appliances to go in my new kitchen (as of yet unconstructed!) which includes a Sharp R98STMA microwave oven 40ltr capacity combi and surrounding built in kit. Having taken delivery, I have noticed that the accompanying booklet states that it should not be built in above a conventional oven. I specifically bought it to be built in above a Samsung single oven in an appropriate tall oven housing unit. Does anyone know whether this is standard advice to cover themselves and all microwave manufacturers say, or specific to this model. Is it safe to install??

Thank you

Hi

Usually manufacturers say this as they don't know what oven you will be putting it with and it each appliance could affect the others cooling systems.

Usually if you leave a gap of a filler panel about 150mm between the 2 applainces then you will be fine.

Dear CK,

Thank you very much! I have read many of your posts and heeded alot of (silently gained!) advice during my intrepid kitchen purchasing journey. Was hoping I hadn't made a mistake with the purchase of the oven as it fitted in with the cooking criteria!
