We want the smallest microwave convection oven we can find. It needs to fit in a space that is 25" wide, 17" high and 24" deep and surrounded by wood cabinets. So obviously it needs to generate a minimal amount of external heat.

When using this microwave -- and probably any microwave -- inside a wood cabinet, there is a concern over getting rid off all the heat being generated so that the cabinet is not hurt, burned, etc. So for this kind of install, Panasonic offers a special built-in trim kit designed specifically for this model microwave and is sold on Amazon (I bought one for a 30" wide cabinet). One part of the kit puts covers over the standard back and bottom vents and forces the air out front. The other part of the kit is a nice cover plate that goes around the microwave (anchoring to the wood cabinet, not the microwave) to hide these new vents. The vent part adds to the microwave height so that it now needs an 18" opening -- I will be shaving about 1/4" of the microwaves rubber legs to allow me to use just a slightly smaller opening and to get the frame to fit on my cabinet just right.

I replaced a built-in with this item. It is deeper than most microwaves, and a trim kit is available....had to cut cabinet. The microwave vents on the bottom and the convection vents at the top. Check Panasonic's specs for built-in.

I only have a microwave. I am not sure about the convection fan.I think I would experiment with a baked potatoe for the convectionand see how it goes.

Well the top smaller oven is not convection at all. You can use the bottom oven with or without convection also

Deanna The microwave is 171/4 " wide x 101/2" high. My experience with this microwave is that it vents in the back. So, as long as there is room for it to vent, you should be good to go.

It only has a couple recipes in it. I searched the internet for free countertop convection oven recipes and purchased two books from Amazon that I like and they have a lot of receipes in them. Cookng With Convection by Beatrce A. Ojakangas and The Best Convection Oven Cookbook by Linda Stephen. I hope this helps you, Darlene

"standard" microwave will do. it won't fit, if it's too small. capacity should be at least: 13 1/2 in wide by 13 1/2 in deep by 9 in high. hope this helps.

A manual comes with the oven. You can find out what cookware you can use with a convection oven off the net. Try to Goggle it.

Dimensions: 16" High; 25" Wide; 15" Deep. A small/medium microwave should fit okay. PS: I love this cabinet & hutch!

Make sure your cabinet has at least 2" dead air spaces all the way around and vented. I also recommend that since this is convection oven so lots of heats will coming out so the inside cabinet should be metal sheets coved all the way around. Also power cable should be metal jacketed. I suggest install air fun so all hot air will be outside. Good luck!!!

I don't know the interior dimensions of this oven, but you might want to have just a bit of room between the sides of the pan and the sides of the oven for air circulation. -- isn't that one of the extra 'bonuses' of 'convection', also?

You can use it either way. It will cook with microwaves alone or convection alone or a combination of both.

Not really. Just remember to reduce cooking time by about 20% for regular oven times. Great to have the option to use as MW or convection oven - or both!

The space is 25 inches wide, 15 inches from back to front and 15 inches high in terms of clearance from the trim. The cavity itself is an inch or so taller but you might have trouble sliding the microwave in, plus I think you are supposed to leave a little room for ventilation anyway.

I bought two for my Wife, one for home and one for work. She loves it and is going to run a real time test on it right now to get an actual time. She loaned it to a coworker who used it for a week and bought her own but got one with eucalyptus which she didn't like as well. 1,000 Watt microwave, 2 minutes, provided about 20 to 25 minutes of super heat and gradually cools. Helpful?

Part of the VillaWare Moderno series, the Digital Convection Oven is a multi-purpose countertop oven that is suitable for baking, broiling, toasting, and more. This unit is constructed of brushed stainless steel with sleek, rounded edges and black touchpad control buttons. It measures 19-1/2 inches wide by 11-1/2 inches tall by 11-1/2 inches deep at its widest points. The interior is roomy enough (0.7 cubic feet) to roast a 4-pound chicken, bake a 9-inch pie, or cook a 9x13-inch casserole.
