Microwave in FC

[worktohobby]

Gardner,

I replaced the magic chef microwave in my old 1980 with a stainless
magic chef, about $39.00. About another $25 matching the existing
paneling (because it was only availlable in big sheets). Took about
a week to replicate the factory trim plate (I'm no finnish
carpenter), but it turned out near perfect. It has the automatic
setting but is not a convection oven, nor was the original.

I pipe clamped a screen over a related vent pipe to keep the bugs
out and made certain that the microwave was secure in case of an
accident. Added spray in foam at the same pipe where the seal was
not good; the factory had broken some out when they installed the
old microwave. Made sure the necessary vents were not blocked on the
new microwave.

Regards,

Don Duncan
