ᐅ Why don’t all IKEA microwaves fit into the tall cabinet?

Hello forum,

I’m still experimenting a bit with our kitchen planning. On one wall of the kitchen, there will be a built-in tall cabinet (208 cm / 82 inches) with a microwave and oven. For the oven, we have chosen the Neff BCR 4522 N, with a microwave above it. We will probably get the microwave from Ikea.

What I just noticed is: why do only the smaller appliances (34 cm or 39 cm / 13 or 15 inches) fit in the tall cabinet? The kitchen planner doesn’t even offer the oven and, for example, a larger microwave like the Mirakulös or Kulinarisk. Are those only designed for standalone use and not for double installation above the oven?

Thanks!

Did you adjust the cabinet? You can still refine it in the planner. For a large microwave/steam oven, the oven below needs to be over 50cm (20 inches) instead of 60cm (24 inches) high. Otherwise, the grid won’t fit. (The 45cm (18 inches) unit gets a 5cm (2 inches) filler panel.)

Thank you. Apparently, I’m either blind or just not getting it. I’ve gone through all the settings, but I still get the same grid displayed. The oven fits at the bottom, and only a narrow microwave fits on top.

You have selected the wrong cabinet:

I told you, blind. THANK YOU!
