# Oven and microwave tower planner

> Stacking appliances can free counter space, but the tower has to work for the person using it and for the appliances installed inside.

## Position the tower as a tall group

The example places an oven and microwave tower near an integrated fridge. Their fronts share a tall zone while the worktop stays on the lower run. Review the fridge door swing and the space between the two units; a neat elevation does not prove that both doors can open fully.

## Adjust the appliance heights

Use the selected tower settings to change oven and microwave installation heights, then inspect the interior. Consider reaching the controls and lifting a hot dish onto a nearby worktop. The model does not assess an individual person’s safe reach.

## Use the correct appliance type

The stacked microwave is a conventional microwave space. A purpose-built microwave drawer is a separate appliance with a different opening direction and installation arrangement. Do not place an ordinary microwave into a drawer simply because its dimensions appear to fit.

## Questions before you start

### Are the tower clearances verified for my appliances?

No. Enter the chosen manufacturers’ ventilation, cavity and clearance requirements and have the final arrangement checked before installation.

### Can I change the stack after creating the project?

Yes. Select the tower to edit its appliance arrangement and heights, and inspect the resulting compartments with the front removed.
