Q: Can this oven be installed as a vented to the outside?
A: Dear Valued Customer: Thank you for your inquiry regarding Whirlpool microwave hood combination model WMH53520AS. This model can be vented to the outside. There is not any special kit required, you simply have to follow the installation instructions for external venting. Thank you again for your inquiry. We appreciate and value your business!
A: 4 speeds. High is fairly loud, but moving that much air is - it is really moving. There are two installation options, vent into room and vent through wall to exterior. Mine is installed with internal venting, so I am sure the noise I get is the maximum when on High. Low setting is really quiet. Neat feature I didn't notice prior to installing is the fan can be set to sense range top heat and will turn on vent when it senses heat.
Q: what's the cost for installation
A: If you are replacing a previously owned over the range microwave you can do it yourself for free. We put ours up ourselves using the instructions and a few tools-power drill helps. This microwave was taller than our previous Kenmore so we lost one inch of space above our stove, but have not found that to be a problem.
Q: Can this unit be vented to the outside?
A: There is a built-in fan for over-range use and attachments for venting to the outside.
Q: Is the door handle metal or plastic?
A: Dear Customer: Model WMH53520AS offers a Plastic/Stainless Wrapped door handle. Hopefully this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool appliances!
Q: what type of mounting is required?
A: There is a wall mount bracket that supports the bottom of the back of the unit (unit drops into two slots and unit pivots up into place). There is an installation template and at least two holes need drilled. 2 x wood screws into studs or 2 x lag bolts into drywall hold the bracket in place. If you have the same brand and size you "may" not need to replace what you have. The front is held in place with two long screws which need holes drilled in the bottom of the overhead cabinet (template for these too). There is a third hole required in the bottom of the overhead cabinet for the plug to pass through (you need a standard 110V three prong outlet in the overhead cabinet). If you are replacing a unit it will be there.
Q: What is the installation fee for replacing the existing over the range micriwave?
A: Install and haul away for $119; cheaper than Lowe's!!
Q: What are the dimensions of this microwave?
A: The height is 17.13 inches, the width is 29.88 inches, and the depth is 18 inches.
