Know before you buy
Yes, this model is designed as a countertop microwave, but it can be installed as a built-in unit if you purchase the optional trim kit. This allows for a seamless, integrated look within your cabinetry.
PrintShield is a specialized finish designed to resist smudges and fingerprints. It helps keep the stainless steel exterior looking clean and pristine without requiring constant wiping.
The microwave uses built-in sensors to monitor the humidity levels inside the oven during the cooking process. It automatically adjusts the power level and cooking time to ensure your food is heated evenly without overcooking.
Yes, the recessed turntable is removable. Because it is recessed into the floor of the microwave, it maximizes the usable vertical space, allowing you to fit larger dishes inside.
With 1200 watts of cooking power, this microwave is quite capable. It provides enough energy to heat food quickly and defrost items efficiently, making it suitable for most daily kitchen tasks.
This unit measures 24 inches wide, 13-11/16 inches high, and 19-5/8 inches deep. Be sure to measure your available counter space carefully, accounting for any necessary clearance for ventilation.
