As a result, some people put the microwave on top of the refrigerator.

However, when placing equipment in this way, it is important to follow some rules.

What to remember when installing a microwave oven

The microwave oven must be placed on a level and stable surface.

It should also be strong enough to avoid dents.

In addition, there must be gaps around the body of the device. Do not place the microwave too close to the wall or furniture.

You should also find special air ducts on the microwave oven. They can be located on the top, side or bottom.

Moreover, it is important to ensure that they are open.

If the microwave oven is used only for heating food, it can be placed on the refrigerator.

But if you use the device for a long time, for example, for cooking, it is better to move it to another place.

In addition, the refrigerator and microwave oven should not be plugged into the same outlet.
