A:AnswerHello, Nicole. We appreciate your inquiry. This model is specifically designed to be installed over the range. Over-the-range microwaves are built with venting capabilities to replace a traditional range hood and usually have specific mounting hardware and ventilation systems suited for that purpose. If you're looking to use this microwave as a built-in microwave, there are a few considerations, which are ventilation, trim kit, installation, safety, and warranty. For a built-in microwave, it's generally recommended to select a model specifically designed for that purpose. We hope this information helps! - Christi
A:AnswerThank you for your question.
For the Frigidaire 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave (White), the door is hinged on the left side and opens outward to the right. Because of this design, no additional clearance is required on the left-hand side for the door to open. - Jessica
A:AnswerHi Jen! Thank you for checking in. Based on the product specifications, the Frigidaire FMOS1746BS features a digital display and, while it includes interior and exterior lighting, the numerical keypad and function buttons are not backlit or illuminated. The controls rely on standard, non-lit printed labels for visibility. - Patrick
A:AnswerHi Nathan, thank you for reaching out. It does include the mounting plate and the necessary hardware to secure it to the wall and cabinet as part of what ships in the box. - Reed
A:AnswerHi there, our valued customer! The door hinge on the Frigidaire model number FMOS1746BS microwave is on the left side. This means the door swings open to the left, and the handle is located on the right side of the door. -Chris
A:AnswerHi Mark! Good question. Yes — the Frigidaire FMOS1746BS over-the-range microwave does come with a mounting plate and the hardware needed for installation. According to its installation manual, the unit ships with a “mounting plate” and a “small hardware bag” that includes the screws and toggle bolts used to secure the microwave to the wall and cabinet. - Patrick
A:AnswerHello, Mimi. Thanks for reaching out to us. This model is free of PFAS chemicals in its cooking surfaces, making it a safer choice if avoiding PFAS is a priority. There is no indication that other parts of the microwave, such as electronics or filters, contain PFAS, so the key food-contact surfaces are PFAS-free. - Maria
A:AnswerHi there, our valued customer! Yes, the kitchen timer on the Frigidaire FMOS1746BS works while the microwave is running, and it also operates independently of the cooking function. You can set the kitchen timer to run for up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds by pressing the "Timer" pad, entering the time, and pressing the "Timer" pad again to start. -Chris
A:AnswerHi there! To open the door of your Frigidaire 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-The-Range Microwave, follow these steps:
If Your Microwave Has a Push-Button Door Release
1. Locate the Door Release Button: This is typically a small, rectangular button located on the bottom or side of the microwave door frame.
2. Press the Button: Firmly press the center of the door release button.
3. Open the Door: Once the latch disengages, pull the door open.
If the door remains stuck, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Inspect the Door Latch: Check for any visible damage or obstruction.
2. Check for Power Issues: Ensure the microwave is properly plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped.
3. Examine the Door Release Mechanism: If the button feels loose or unresponsive, the internal components might be faulty.
4. Avoid Forcing the Door: Do not attempt to pry the door open with tools, as this can cause further damage.

A:AnswerHi there, Cabouno! The Frigidaire FMOS1746BS Over-The-Range Microwave does not come with a charcoal filter included. However, it is designed to accommodate one, allowing you to add a charcoal filter if you prefer ductless ventilation. This model offers flexible venting options:
Ducted Venting: Air is vented outside through an exhaust system.
Ductless Venting: Air is recirculated back into the kitchen after passing through a charcoal filter.
If you choose to use ductless venting, you'll need to purchase a compatible charcoal filter separately, as it's not included with the microwave. Ensure that the charcoal filter you select is designed for this specific model to guarantee proper fit and performance. - Maico
A:AnswerGood day, Jorge! The Frigidaire 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-The-Range Microwave (FMOS1746BW) typically comes with the necessary mounting hardware, but it doesn't always include a bracket specifically designed for wall mounting. For an over-the-range microwave like this, the microwave is usually mounted using screws into the wall and cabinets, and the kit will typically include a mounting template, screws, and a mounting bracket that attaches to the cabinet above. However, it's always a good idea to double-check the contents in the product manual or with the seller to be sure.
As for the blower or vent, this microwave has the option to vent to the outside or recirculate the air back into the kitchen. For external venting (using a duct connector), it does come with a venting system that you can configure to blow air through a duct connector (which would be connected to the outside vent) if you choose the outside venting option. If you're planning to use it as a recirculating vent, you would install a charcoal filter instead, but the option for ducting is there. - Maico
A:AnswerHi, Lee! The Frigidaire 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-The-Range Microwave FMOS1746BS typically features the Frigidaire brand name prominently on the front, either on the control panel or around the microwave's exterior. This is the manufacturer of the product, so the name would be Frigidaire.
However, if you are referring to a model number or a label on the appliance itself (perhaps on the side or back of the unit), you will likely find additional information such as the model number, serial number, and manufacturing location. Frigidaire is a well-known brand under Electrolux, so you might also see Electrolux mentioned on certain documentation or tags.
Let me know if you're looking for something more specific! - Maico
A:AnswerHello, Valued Customer! Thanks for reaching out. The model FMOS1746BW has an exhaust. To operate the exhaust vent, Press the Exhaust High/Low/Off pad once for the highest speed setting. Press the pad again to choose the Low speed setting and a 3rd time to turn the exhaust ventilation off. - Reed
