The side on which the door should be on a microwave oven can vary depending on the model and the kitchen's layout. There are two common configurations for microwave oven doors:
Left-hinged door: In this configuration, the microwave oven's door opens from the right side and swings towards the left when you face the front of the microwave. This is a common configuration for many microwave ovens.
Right-hinged door: In this configuration, the microwave oven's door opens from the left side and swings towards the right when you face the front of the microwave. Some microwave ovens, especially those designed for specific kitchen layouts or user preferences, may have a right-hinged door.
When choosing a microwave oven for your kitchen, consider the available space and the layout of your kitchen counter or cabinetry. Select a configuration that allows easy access to the microwave's controls and door, ensuring it fits well into the available space.
If you're looking to replace or install a microwave oven in a built-in location (e.g., within cabinetry), make sure to check the specifications and installation instructions to determine the appropriate door configuration for your setup.
