Abstract
A combination lifting mechanism for a microwave oven, or other appliance, and a cooking range ventilating hood. The lifting mechanism lifts the microwave within the open bottom portion of the hood and lowers the microwave oven for user access into the microwave oven. The lifting mechanism includes a support plate for the microwave oven and a lifting belt attached to the support plate. A motor wraps or unwraps a lifting belt onto a spool to either raise or lower the support plate. An isolation chamber is located in the open lower portion of the hood and is sized and configured to receive the microwave over therein to protect the microwave oven from cooking gas and grease when the range below is used during cooking.
