I have an old Ecoquest machine that needs to be replaced. It's placed above the stove and microwave in the kichen. When working at its peak, high and close to the wall was fine. Two questions: 1] Do you recommend the Green Air Machine to be placed high in the room, and 2] how far from a wall does it need to be.Noble, OK.

It should be at least 12 inches from a wall. Ours sits on the floor. I'm not sure if I would put it up above a hot stove, though.

We have ours about a foot from the client and about a foot from the wall. It seems to work just fine there.

Yes, up high is best and at least a couple inches from the wall for proper air flow and so that it does not make a darkened area on the paint on the wall from heat and dust etc.

The installation guide that is contained in the instruction manual reads: For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 8" of space above the microwave, 4" at the back, and 2" on each side of the unit. I hope that this helps you! Best, Steve Antrasian

I have one at room's corner, so each edge of the stove is about 3 to 4 inches away from the wall. The other one I have is in front of the wall that is also about 3 to 4 inches away. I had the township fire inspection employee come for inspection (for this and other things) and he didn't have any issues with how far the stoves were from the walls.

I wish I had the answer you need but even with the part I got and the machine I have it was only temporary. How much is the price of frustration only you can answer that for I would recommend getting a new blender. That is what we have done and harmony reigns again in the kitchen. Sometimes it is best to get rid of the old one and go for a new one. At first I was thrilled it worked then came the noise and the odor of the motor and I knew new parts don't fit an old machine. Sorry.

My husband used ours over high heat on our Viking range (which is truly high). The kettle separated from the bottom coil unit when he picked it up. However, he put it right back on and it stayed together. Now we only use it over medium high heat. No further problems. A beautiful kettle

OKAY this is what he said: I took the coffe machine apart. Some of the tubes were a bit trickey to get to and to get back on but it was fun to figure out. The top of the machine is where the hot watter bubbles up and then is dispursed into the coffee drip area. The cover the directed the bubbles from up to over just snapped into place. There is a grove to help seal this cover but ours did seal right. I removed the cover, put a thin line of silicone sealant in the groove and re-installed the cover. I let it dry for a few days so no silicone would seep into the bubbles then into the coffee. It seems to be working. OKAY this is what he said: I took the coffe machine apart.

I own a heavy iron wood stove, and this meter helps me a great deal. It has a magnetic back and easy to follow instructions. I have my meter 14 inches off the base of the stove pipe (but 12 inches is just right). Try to keep your meter's heat range in the white area reading. Happy heating.

This item must be used for a 5 gallon bucket (or tall 3 gallon size) or larger. Best for 5 gallon size as larger would take much longer to heat. It does not have a temperature control or on/off switch. Best not to plug in to electric until you have a bucket full of water and then either unplug when removing or transfer to a 2nd bucket. Height of unit is slightly taller than average 5 gallon bucket so wiring always stays outside bucket to avoid electrical shock. You can regulate heat by using a thermometer if need be or the touch(water not element) test. I use mine to heat water for carpet cleaning extraction machine so precise temperature is not critical. Hope this helps:) This item must be used for a 5 gallon bucket (or tall 3 gallon size) or larger. Best for 5 gallon size as larger would take much longer to heat.

I have to agree with Michael...I sent mine back as it was scratched up, looked used and every time I plugged it in the controller smoked (I tried 8-10 times). Was afraid to even give it a whirl, so wouldn't recommend. My suggestion: invest in a 1600 watt portable induction cooktop and use your own clad induction ready cookware. With those you can use them as a slow cooker. It's the solution I finally came up with.I never took the opportunity to measure volume since, as I said, the controller smoked, even after leaving it plugged in for 30+ minutes 8-10 times. It did look to hold 4 qts. to the top, but would advise using only 2-3 qts., just in case it boiled over.

Our church has used the same Bunn coffee maker for 15 years (replaced the thermostat about six years ago...otherwise it is all original pieces). Rarely is the Bunn used more than one morning weekly (Sunday mornings, of course). We always unplug the machine when not in use and have it plugged in about four to five hours at a time (maybe brew about five pots of coffee per week). Never had any problems with it except that a handful of "regulars" thought the coffee was not hot enough, which led to decision to buy a new thermostat and replace the old one. Not had a single problem with this workhorse! -- Paul (Sacramento, CA) Our church has used the same Bunn coffee maker for 15 years (replaced the thermostat about six years ago...otherwise it is all original pieces).

Mine is one inch from the wall you need that much for air circulation mine is sitting on a microwave cart

You should also have plenty of room between top and another surface, it gives off heat. Sad thing is all toaster ovens suffer from this, figured someone would have fixed that but it is a great oven.

The big question is: Now that we have burnt out something inside the main unit, can we replace this unit with one that has been made for 240V? If anyone knows where we can source the main body of the machine with a 240V rating, please let me know. Thanks

the heat from the eco-heater comes through the circulated air, and if the wall-socket is too close, you may cause a fire. And I agree with Peter Millis' answer: if you use the wall socket, the cord will go right in front of the HOT heater...BTW: you can do what you want, but you will bear the consequences.

I don't believe that it is designed for that installation. The unit I had (until it quit working after 2 years) was mounted in a cabinet and it had an extra shroud and fan across the top to provide ventilation for the unit. I previously had a Sharp-brand microwave that was designed for "above counter" use that was mounted in an earlier RV I had ... and it worked well as both microwave and convection oven. In a previous home, I had a microwave (also a Sharp as I recall) that was mounted above the stove with a built in "range hood" and lights. (The "Half Time Microwave" has none of these features.) Note that mounting a microwave/convection over over a stove requires a minimum distance of around 28 to 30 inches (see the installation instructions) between the top of the stove and the bottom of the microwave appliance. This usually requires installing a "short" cabinet above the microwave after removing the original cabinet, if one is present. It can also leave the microwave at an uncomfortable height. If mounting under a cabinet, but not above a stove, then you do not have the distance requirement, and can mount the device at a more convenient level for use. (You might need to replace or modify an existing cabinet to give clearance below the microwave/oven so the counter below will still be useful.)

We know how you feel because we have a very limited space. Our microwave is 13 inches from the wall. This measurement depends on the location of the electrical outlet. Our outlet is to to the left of the of the 1.5" bump out on the rear of the oven. Even though the outlet is not behind the bump out, we had to buy a short flat swivel extension cord as a regular plug pushed the microwave to far from the wall. We can send you pictures of the microwave rear face and cabinet that we have it installed in if you would like to give us your email.

I am not quite sure how to answer you. Why? You have stated how the unit should be set up in order to toast and that somehow is not correct. My unit acts perfectly well as a toaster, convection oven, broiler and baker. I toast anything I want. I bake bread in it and use it totally in place of my regular oven (it is less expensive to run) so the elements which don't look like standard elements are not in the middle and somehow that makes no difference at all. This is the best counter top unit I have ever had and i would buy it again.
