Placement of a Microwave Oven
Where do you locate a microwave? Adding a microwave to an existing kitchen can be a daunting task. There are four places where microwave ovens are likely to be found in a kitchen, and there are advantages and disadvantages to each option. Here is the list of each choice and a discussion of their respective benefits. Feel free to contact the experts at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center for specific models and dimensions. Countertop Placing a microwave oven on a countertop is an obvious choice, and in the early years this is all way microwave ovens were located. The big, hefty Amana Radarange is iconic of this era. Countertop microwaves are convenient and are relatively inexpensive. Nevertheless, this is usually an undesirable solution because the microwave takes up valuable counterspace.Over-the-range GE invented the O-T-R micro-hood combination back in the 70's. The O-T-R microwave has become commonplace and often a standard feature in new homes. While the micro-hood gets the microwave off the countertop, the eye-level location is not ergonomically sound, and the ventilation system is generally considered inferior.Built-In to the cabinets This can be an ideal solution. A microwave oven in the wall located at the perfect height is going to be a homemaker's delight. However, there can be difficulties. Upper cabinets are generally only 12" deep and will only accommodate a very small microwave oven. This means that there must be a full depth -

Day 6 of the 12 Days of Christmas at UAKC
Unique and Practical Gift Idea: Over-the-Range Microhood At Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center Throughout the 80's and 90's countertop microwaves were hugely popular as gifts. But their popularity has waned as has their practicality because of the precious countertop space that they occupy. A practical solution to this problem is to replace that old vent hood with a new Over-the-Range (OTR) Micro-hood that serves both as a microwave and a vent hood. Micro-hoods (invented by GE) are increasingly becoming standard in new home construction, but they are rarely thought of as gifts because they need to be installed. However, Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) has a solution to the installation problem. They have their own factory-trained installation crews. They can quickly replace that old vent hood, and they'll even haul it away for free. Take a look below at a just a few of the many micro-hoods available at UAKC, and hurry in today to order yours.

Choosing a Range Vent Hood
Range Hood Guidelines Common Sense Range Vent Hood Evaluation Tools A. Requirements Ventilation objectives. Range hoods perform many functions. Sometimes hood vents are used merely to circulate air in the kitchen. Usually, they are needed to remove cooking odors, vapors, particulates, and moisture from the air over the cooktop surface. It's important to consider the type of cooking you'll be doing. For example, if you cook exotic dishes that are very aromatic, you may need a more powerful vent hood. Suppose you are considering a re-circulating hood because you don't have the ability to duct outside. You need to be aware that recirculating hoods will capture some particulates, but will do little to remove vapors or moisture from the room. Ductwork. If you are installing new ducting you'll want to make sure that you take the most direct, shortest path - the fewer turns, the better. Use the largest duct size that is practical for quieter more efficent operation. Makeup air. The 2009 International Residential Code (IRC) requires when installing new vent hoods exceeding 400 cfm, makeup air must be provide in an amount roughly equivalent to the exhaust CFM. Location. The location of the range will influence the type and size of the range hood. Is the range on on an island or peninsula? Where are the windows located? What is the ceiling height? Are there ceiling fans? How much space is available between adjacent cabinets? B. Sizing the hood Best hoods offer these recommendations for hood sizing. Under
