Know before you buy
Yes, the built-in Air Fry mode uses convection technology to circulate hot air, providing the same crispy, oil-free results as a dedicated countertop unit. This helps save valuable counter space while maintaining the performance you expect from an air fryer.
Chef Connect automatically syncs your microwave with a compatible Cafe range. When you turn on your range burners, the microwave can automatically activate its vent fan and cooktop lights, and it will also keep the clocks synchronized across both appliances.
The microwave features a stainless steel interior designed for durability and easy maintenance. It includes a Steam Clean function that uses moisture to loosen food splatters, allowing you to simply wipe the interior clean without harsh chemicals.
The 300-CFM fan is designed to effectively remove smoke, steam, and cooking odors from your kitchen while you cook on the range below. It offers three speed settings, allowing you to adjust the power based on how much ventilation you need.
This unit measures 29.875 inches wide, which is the standard width for most over-the-range microwave installations. We recommend verifying your specific cabinet opening dimensions against the unit's height of 16.3125 inches and depth of 17.9375 inches to ensure a proper fit.
No, the sensor cooking technology automatically detects the moisture levels in your food and adjusts the power and cook time accordingly. This helps prevent overcooking or undercooking common items like vegetables, popcorn, or leftovers.
