"Whether you prefer a sleek built-in, under counter or above the range microwave, our models offer multiple cooking options, with several even featuring convection cooking and full-color LCD displays," notes Juliet Johnson, manager of brand experience for Jenn-Air. "Beyond their powerful performance, the various configurations found in our collection offer flexible placement options."

MICROWAVE OVENS WITH CONVECTION COOKING  

Jenn-Air built-in microwave ovens include a 30-inch model with a Speed-Cook system that can cook oven quality meals up to three times faster than traditional ovens. By combining the speed of microwave energy with the heat of convection cooking and broiling, this cooking system has the flexibility to cook a variety of preprogrammed foods from roasted chicken to delicate puff pastry.

A highly interactive, full-color 4.3-inch LCD control panel features intuitive menu-driven controls to easily select various cooking options from temperature to cooking modes. Rather than cooking for a preset time, a steam cook cycle features an intuitive sensor that detects humidity released by food as it cooks and determines the precise cooking time and power level for each food item. For dishes such as flatbread and roasted fish, a Crisp Option used in combination with the included browning pan promotes the crisping of foods by merging microwave technology with a broiling element for exceptional results. 

UNDER COUNTER MICROWAVE OVEN

For those with limited space, the 24" microwave oven with a drawer design leaves valuable counter space uncluttered with under counter or in-wall installation options. With the touch of a button, the drawer automatically opens and closes, while its top access allows for easy stirring of ingredients and temperature testing. The auto sensor feature ensures all food is properly cooked while a Keep Warm feature offers the flexibility of using the microwave as a warming drawer with precise temperature settings that allow plates and dishes to be kept warm until serving time.

OVER THE RANGE MICROWAVE OVENS WITH BUILT-IN VENTILATION

Jenn-Air 30-inch over-the-range microwave ovens help clear the air with a built-in ventilation system that automatically begins venting when heat is sensed. Featuring multiple fan speeds with a 300 CFM blower, the exhaust system captures smoke, steam and odors from the cooking surface below. To help maintain a seamless look in the kitchen, an articulating vent opens to a 45-degree angle when turned on and remains closed when off. A built-in exterior exhaust system with three venting alternatives provides flexible installation options.

Select models are available with microwave and convection combination cooking. All over-the-range models feature auto sensor microwave cooking, enabling the oven to automatically sense remaining cooking time based on the humidity emanating from dishes as they cook.

Jenn-Air microwave ovens are offered in a variety of styles and finishes including Pro-Style Stainless, Euro-Style Stainless, Black and White Floating Glass.
