A:  nanbee, The sides on this Over the Range Microwave are finished in black. This finish compliments the smoked glass on the front and the control pad as well as the Stainless Steel. Thank you for viewing this Whirlpool home appliance.

A:  Rose, I apologize, but I do not have access to the interior dimensions of this microwave. It is 1.8 cu ft and does offer a 12" turntable. This information should provide a little more clarify on the items it can hold. Thank you for viewing this Whirlpool home appliance.

A:  Rose, Thank you for viewing this Whirlpool Over the Range Microwave. The wattage on this microwave is referring to the microwave use. This model can use up to 1100 watts. For convection cooking, the heat distributed in the cavity of the oven would depend on the temperature setting that you choose to bake/roast your food items. Thank you for opportunity to answer your question.

A:  I wanted to know the sones, which is a rating as to the amount of noise the fan generates. CFM's indicate the "sucking" power of the exhaust fan. The CFM rating is in the product info, so I have that but I don't know how it is rated for noise. I've chosen to go with another manufacturer as they were able to answer all of the questions I had, whereas this one did not.

A:  Rose, This Whirlpool Over the Range Microwave is not measured in sones but in CFM's. The maximum CFM's for this Whirlpool appliance is: 300. You can find this information on the product information page under the Specifications area along with many other features.. Thank you for viewing this Whirlpool home appliance.

A:  cat1151, This Over the Range Microwave operates on a 110v outlet. You would need a designated outlet for this appliance to plug into. In order to determine if you would have to run a designated outlet specifically and only for a microwave, then you would need to refer to your local codes for electrical installation. For more details on electrical requirements and installation, you can refer to the More Info section on the product page and review the guides listed there. Thank you for viewing this Whirlpool home appliance.

A:  Mazie, I am not sure exactly what you mean by "brown". I do not want to make any assumptions in trying to answer your question. If I do not answer your question below, please clarify and restate. This Whirlpool Microwave has a convection feature that allows you to bake items in the microwave as you would in an oven with convection cooking. Convection cooking utilizes a fan to push air in the cavity that will provide uniform baking, faster cook times, and at lower temperature than traditional baking. Also, for baked good, it does provide a more crispy coating while keeping the inside gooey and moist, for example, chocolate chip cookies. For meats, it would put a crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Thank you for viewing this Whirlpool home appliance.

A:  bm11, On the touchpad are options for Convect Bake and Convect Roast. Once you touch one of those buttons for the desired cooking mode, you will be prompted for your needed temperature setting. Thank you for viewing this Whirlpool home appliance.

A:  cook, This Whirlpool Over the Range Microwave is factory set to recirculate. You do not have to vent outside, although it is possible to convert. Thank you for viewing this Whirlpool home appliance.
