Many people wonder where to place a microwave oven.

It is important to consider not only the aesthetic component, but also safety precautions and operating rules.

For this reason, Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of interior design, listed places where you definitely should not put a microwave oven.

What are we talking about?

Window

This place is often chosen by housewives, considering it ideal. But this is a big mistake. As it turns out, this can cause a quick breakdown of the device due to dust.

Not far from the stove

Some people even place the microwave directly above the stove. This should not be done. Due to constant heating, the microwave will quickly become unusable.

Sources of moisture

When choosing a location, try to avoid the space near the sink or dishwasher. These are the most dangerous options for placing a microwave.

If even a little moisture gets in, a fire could occur.

At the walls without indentations

You can install a microwave oven near a wall or any shelf, but there is one important condition: the indentation must be at least ten centimeters on each side of the device.
