Overview
The FORNO Fornace FOTR3038-30 is a 30-inch over-the-range convection microwave with 1.5 cu ft of capacity, a stainless steel finish, and a two-speed 105/300 CFM ventilation system. It combines microwave, convection, and speed-cook functions in one over-range unit.
Mounting over the range means this microwave does double duty as the hood, so the 105/300 CFM two-speed blower and its vertical, horizontal, or recirculating discharge options matter as much as the cooking modes. Convection and speed-cook functions push it past a plain reheat-and-defrost microwave toward one that can finish a real dish. The stainless finish is described as smudge-resistant, and the handle is designed to stay cool despite sitting close to the cooktop below.
- 1.5 cu ft interior capacity
- 105/300 CFM two-speed ventilation with vertical, horizontal, or recirculating discharge
- Touch glass control panel
- LED cooktop lighting
Who it's for
Fits kitchens replacing an existing over-the-range microwave that also want built-in ventilation and convection cooking in the same footprint. Not the choice for anyone wanting a standalone countertop microwave or a separate dedicated range hood.
Pros and cons
- Combines microwave, convection, and range ventilation in one unit
- Two-speed 105/300 CFM blower with flexible discharge options
- Smudge-resistant stainless finish
- Cool-touch handle despite proximity to the cooktop
- 1.5 cu ft capacity is modest for a family-size dish
- Over-the-range installation is more involved than a countertop swap
- No stated wattage for the microwave itself
Performance notes
The 105/300 CFM two-speed blower pulls smoke, steam, and cooking odors from the range below, with a washable filter to catch grease and keep airflow consistent. Convection and speed-cook modes work alongside multistage and auto-menu settings to adapt cook times across different dishes. LED lighting under the unit illuminates the cooktop for visibility while cooking.
