Depending on how your kitchen is configured, your microwave oven will probably sit in a designated cabinet or directly on the counter. In both cases, it is crucial to measure the space available for the unit, both the headroom and the width and depth of the counter or shelf. Also think about the door clearance!
Most microwaves will hold a standard plate without a problem, but if your dishes are larger than average or of a particular shape, it's best to measure them also to make sure they will fit with the door closed. You can even bring a plate to the store!
It is important to measure the space available in your kitchen before purchasing a range, taking into account the width, depth and height of the appliance. Range sizes can vary by brand and model, so it's crucial to choose one that fits the space available and meets your cooking needs.
Generally, a range is 30 in. (76 cm) wide, but the width can vary from 20 to 35.5 in. (50 to 90 cm). The height ranges from 36 to 48 in. (91 to 122 cm) with a depth of about 25 to 27 in. (63.5 to 69 cm). Some models offer more space for large dishes and roasts, while the more compact ranges are ideal for kitchens where space is limited.
The usual width of a hood varies from 24 to 36 in. (61 to 91 cm ). The 30 in. (76 cm) models are the most popular, as their dimensions correspond to standard ranges.
Measure 6 in. (15 cm) wider than the width of your range or cooktop so that the hood extends at least 3 in. (7.6 cm) on each side. This is especially important with gas burners.
If your space doesn't allow for a range hood as deep as your cooktop, make sure it reaches at least half of the front rings/burners. Also consider the available distance from the cooking surface to the ceiling or countertop.
Before choosing a laundry appliance, it is important to take accurate measurements of the available space and the clearance needed for the door to open, especially if you are installing it in a closet. If you plan to place it in the basement or upstairs, also be sure to measure the dimensions of stairs and hallways to ensure that the unit can be installed easily.
There is no conventional size for a washer, so measure carefully and allow for hose clearance.
