Manufacturer Description

Many professional chefs have discovered the benefits of cooking with microwave ovens. You can quickly reheat foods or even create fantastic-tasting treats from scratch. For the average home chef, the microwave has proven time and again to be an indispensible kitchen appliance. It’s a fast, safe and often fun way of having something quick and hot to eat or snack on. Since the early days of kitchen appliance manufacturing, Frigidaire has been the leader. Their refrigerators have graced millions of kitchens around the world. Now they’ve brought those years of engineering expertise and design to the Frigidaire Over the Range Microwave Oven.

This model of Frigidaire Over the Range Microwave is a wonderful complement to your kitchen. Because it fits snugly over your stove, you are saving valuable counter space for other items as well as creating more cooking area for your meal preparation.

The first thing you’ll notice about this Frigidaire microwave oven is the sleek stainless steel exterior. This makes cleaning as simple as a wipe down with a paper towel. And because this unit is designed to be placed over your range, there is a two-speed exhaust fan to remove any steam or smoke from your stovetop cooking.

There are eleven basic variable power levels on the Frigidaire Over the Range Microwave. Additionally, there are numerous one-touch cooking options which are perfect for those items that you cook the most often in your microwave. This could be popcorn, baked potatoes, or reheating a leftover dinner plate. No need to figure out the settings required to cook these common items: the information is programmed right into the unit. You can also create your own one-touch cooking instructions by programming the memory cook option.

Along with the six defrost variables is the Super Defrost feature on this microwave that defrosts up to 50% faster then other microwave ovens. This makes cooking a great meal right after coming home from work problem-free.

Inside the microwave is a rotating turntable that you can either turn on or off. Having a turntable like this means you don’t have to constantly start and stop a meal to “rotate” it. This helps your food cook evenly. The easy-to-read 7-digit, 2 color lit display helps cooks of all ages clearly program the microwave for the best results. There is also a clear audible signal and an auto lock to keep the microwave childproof. Nearly every house has a microwave but shouldn’t you get the best on the market?

Comments about Frigidaire PLMVZ169HC 1.6 cu. ft. Over The Range Microwave Oven:

I removed my old microwave and installed this one in it's place within 2.5 hours. This included a trip to the [...], beers, and joking with the wife. Install was easy. When my wife finally used it she thought it was not working. She said it's making a faint humming noise and is not heating up the food.... I laughed my head off and told her it was operating at FULL POWER!!!! This thing is very quiet compared to out 2003 Whirlpool OTR microwave. I must admit it also changed our kitchen's feel now that the darn appliances match.

Comments about Frigidaire PLMVZ169HC 1.6 cu. ft. Over The Range Microwave Oven:

My wife and I both enjoy cooking and use the micro wave for preparing vegetable, thawing meats, fish, and vegetables. It works very well in all those capacities. My wife uses it for popcorn and she says it performs better than our old micro when popping corn. We replaced a stove hood with the micro-wave so installation was more complicated than replacing an above stove micro-wave. Installation went relatively smoothly. From stove hood removal to operating took about 3 hours which is not bad when you consider wiring had to be rerouted and an outlet installed in tight quarters in the overhead cabinet.
