Microwave Ovens H

A microwave oven in a modern home kitchen is both a fast reheating and a full-fledged cooking appliance. A combination microwave oven with convection and grill replaces a separate small oven, a reheating appliance and a grill, saving surface space and purchase costs. BHS supplies Microwave Ovens H for home kitchens across Europe.

Types and functions of microwave ovens

Standard microwave oven — only microwave reheating function. Faster and more affordable, suitable for those who only need a fast reheating appliance. Microwave oven with grill — in addition to microwaves, offers a grill element that allows you to prepare a crispy crust on the surface of food. Combination microwave oven with convection — mixed hot air circulation combined with microwaves. Allows you to bake bread, pizza, gratins and other dishes that would otherwise require a full oven. Built-in microwave oven — installed in a cabinet above or below an oven, creating an integrated look. Freestanding microwave oven — placed on a countertop, more flexible for installation. BHS helps choose the right type.

Capacity and power selection

20–23 L capacity — standard for one or two people, reheats completely normal portions and cooks small dishes. 25–30 L — optimal for a family, large enough for bigger dishes and thawing frozen cakes. 32–45 L — premium models with convection, where the capacity allows baking standard 26 cm shaped pies and large portions. Power 700–900 W for a standard model; 1000–1200 W for premium and fast-cooking models. Grill element 1000–2000 W. Higher power — faster reheating, but also greater energy consumption. BHS advises on power and capacity selection.

Built-in and installation

Built-in microwave ovens require precise cabinet cut-out dimensions, as specified in the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Ventilation is critical — a built-in microwave oven requires a ventilation opening in the cabinet to dissipate heat. Power supply: usually 230V/10–16A. Cabinet material around the oven must be heat-resistant. Distances from walls — depends on the model, but usually 10–15 cm on the sides and 20 cm above the oven.

HoReCa and household application scenarios

In an office kitchen, a compact combination microwave oven with convection allows employees to reheat dinners, freshly bake bread or prepare gratins during lunch breaks. In an apartment hotel, a microwave oven in the guest kitchen is an essential appliance for self-sufficient guests who want to serve themselves. At home, a combination model’s convection replaces the heat of a large oven in summer, saving both heat and time.

Frequently asked questions

Can a combination microwave oven replace an oven? Partially — a combination with convection allows baking small dishes and reheating larger portions. However, for large baking volumes (whole chickens, large pies), a standard oven is still more suitable. BHS helps assess whether a combination model meets your cooking needs.

How to clean a microwave oven properly? After each use, wipe spills with a damp cloth. For deep cleaning — a bowl of hot water with lemon in the microwave for 5 minutes softens deposits. Clean the grill element after complete cooling with dry paper towels or a soft cloth. Regular cleaning prevents deposit burning and unpleasant odours. BHS advises on microwave oven maintenance and daily care.
