## What San Francisco does to a microwave.

Where microwaves sit in San Francisco: apartments and walk-ups, older housing stock, trim kits and drawers.

### Apartments and walk-ups

A countertop microwave in a studio often stands on a shelf with its vents against a wall, and a unit that shuts off partway through a cycle is usually its thermal cutout reacting to heat with nowhere to go.

### Older housing stock

Restored kitchens often hide the microwave in a pantry or a cabinet to keep the period look, and a unit boxed in without the trim kit meant for it overheats and stops mid-cycle until it is given room to breathe.

### Trim kits and drawers

A designed kitchen sets a microwave drawer flush in the island or a speed oven in a column of matched units, and a repair has to leave the trim, the reveals and the panel alignment exactly as they were.

### Marina

On the Marina's filled ground a microwave hood combination hangs on a wall plate above the cooking surface, and after a strong shake in this seismic zone its mounting bolts are worth checking before the next meal.

### Noe Valley

Young families here warm bottles and leftovers in the microwave all day, and a door pulled open mid-cycle by a small hand is what wears the latch and its interlock switches first.

### Pacific Heights

In these Victorian flats a remodeled kitchen often hangs a microwave hood combination over the cooking surface to save counter space, on kitchen wiring older than the cabinets around it and shared with the toaster.

### Presidio Heights

Presidio Heights is a small, affluent residential pocket between the Presidio and Laurel Heights, with the Laurel Village shops along California Street at its southern edge.

### Russian Hill

Most Russian Hill residents had to rebuild after the 1906 earthquake; the 1853 Atkinson House was one of the few homes on the hill to come through it.

### Sea Cliff

Landscape architect Mark Daniels drew the plan for Sea Cliff, which is one of nine master-planned residence parks in the city.

Also covered in San Francisco

- **Bernal Heights** Many buildings on Bernal Heights rode out the 1906 earthquake on a base of radiolarian chert, and the sparse development of the time spared much of the hill from the fire that followed.
- **Cole Valley** Cole Valley grew up around the streetcar stop at the Sunset Tunnel entrance, where Carl and Cole streets still form its small business center.
- **St. Francis Wood** St. Francis Wood is on the National Register as a 20th-century residence park, and new projects there must fit a character of two-story single-family houses with spacious yards.
- **West Portal** West Portal takes its name from the western mouth of the Muni tunnel under Twin Peaks, which opened in 1918.
