Jenn Air Over The Range Microwaves

JennAir Over the Range Microwaves at Plesser's Appliances

JennAir over-the-range microwaves, available at Plesser's Appliances, combine microwave cooking with cooktop ventilation in a single unit mounted above the range.

Two Functions, One Footprint
An over-the-range unit puts the microwave and ventilation in the same space, the workable answer in a kitchen with no base cabinet to spare for a drawer microwave and no wall space for a separate hood.

Understand the Ventilation Trade-Off
A combination unit is a compromise at ventilation compared with a dedicated hood: less capture area, lower capacity, and a filter closer to the cooking surface. If you are pairing it with a high-output JennAir gas range, a dedicated hood performs meaningfully better. Decide deliberately.

Ducted or Recirculating
Over-the-range units can typically duct externally or recirculate through a charcoal filter where ducting is not possible. Ducted always performs better. Confirm which configurations your model supports.

Sensor Cooking and Convection
Sensor cooking adjusts time and power based on humidity released during heating, and select models add convection for browning and baking. Confirm the mode set and fan capacity for your model.

Mounting, Clearance, and Installation Planning
Installation requires adequate wall structure, correct clearance above the cooking surface, a dedicated circuit, and either a duct path or a recirculating kit. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about mounting height, clearance, duct routing, and electrical before installation.
