Measure the empty counter first

Most bad fits are a measurement problem.

Width, door, jar

Measure the empty run, not the run you hope to clear later.

Then note how a door swings, or how a lid lifts, and how tall the jar is. Those three facts are what the letter needs.

The cord

The cord should reach a wall outlet on its own. We will not tell you to chain power strips for a heating machine.

We do not certify the wiring. If the circuit is the real question, an electrician answers it.

Air around a hot box

A counter oven needs the gap the maker prints. We attach that sheet when we offer a specific machine. Until then we do not invent the number.

A kettle needs room for the lid and for steam. Do not plan to park it under a shelf the lid will hit.
