Is there a minimum clearance for it? Can I put it into an open cabinet (like a microwave?)

Maybe I received your question in my email as an automated thing from Amazon--I am not any representative from Waring or Amazon. As an average human being, I wouldn't suggest putting a toaster oven under/into an open cabinet-any toaster oven can get extremely hot, which could risk the device itself or your shelves to smolder or burn. Very honestly this is something you should directly contact the Waring company about, and/or read any and all instructions provided with the item if you were to purchase it. Good luck!

The User Guide states at least 4 inches on all sides, but I typically have it just an inch or so from the wall (back of the oven). The sides and top are well over 6 inches away from walls and overhead cabinets. The outside of the oven gets fairly warm, so common sense dictates keeping flammable/meltable items away from the sides and top of the oven.

Though it doesn't get really hot on the outside when you have it on. I would not suggest it in an enclosed area. Look in the bookletand see what they suggest the distance from the wall. Just enjoy it for what it is. It is a great appliance. Louise

This one is not the one for you -- the outside gets so hot it will surely burn wood -- My guess is you would need at least 3" around the unit..

My cabinet clearance is 15.25 inches and the machne slides under. You will have to pull it from under the cabinet to fill coffee beans or water recipients. It slides easy on my granit counter.

I doubt it is big enough for one on bottom shelf. It would have to be a tiny microwave. But dimensions are listed under PRODUCT DETAILS section.

Best to ask the manufacturer, GE. The NEW model did NOT fit into the space where our original microwave by GE went (because GE made the unit a bit taller), so we had to have a carpenter trim down the top and bottom of the cabinet so the taller unit would fit. It turned out fine, but it took a bit of effort.

Measure the inside of your microwave... is it greater than 11.5 inches then yes. Less, no.

No, in fact they want you to have open space around it. But don't buy it, it is the noisiest microwave I have eve owned...so disappointed!

this unit should be free-standing and not inside a cabinet. Leave about 3 to 4 inches around the sides and back

Being a present owner of this Microwave I've found the 8" clearance to the sides necessary for proper ventilation but the back does not require it and you can get away with a lot less space overhead if you don't have it.

Make sure you measure the width of the DOOR, not the inside of the cabinet. The width of the inside of the cabinet will not necessarily give you clearance to the opening of the cabinet, as it is often wider than the opening. Leave 1/2 - 1 inch more than the width of the shelf to allow easy slide in/out.

I think you would probably have a problem using this in a cabinet like that. Mine is in a cabinet to the right of my microwave. Plus, I don't know how tall you are, but I would also have a problem if it was above my microwave because of how high it would be. I moved my cabinet stuff around to make it fit in a cabinet where it was convenient and easily assessible. Hope this helps!!

There is approx. 1" clearance on the top from the cabinets. Hope that helps.Dennis

It would depend upon if the cabinet is large enough and if has doors do that shut with out touching the front of the microwave. I suggest you measure your space and match it to the size of the appliance.

No. Under the bench needs to be open. It has been a bit inconvenient. If you try to mount to something with a cabinet under it, it won't have clearance.

Went and measured, you need about 1 1/2 inches of clearance in order to open the lid. Very minimal clearance is required.

I have a small microwave as well, but I've found that as long as it fits inside, it doesn't matter that it is unable to rotate. The pasta cooks just as well. The dimensions should be in the description.

I haven't measured it but if your cabinets are standard size, as mine are it won't. The can itself has got to be close to 30" in height. There might be an inch to spare with it open, if that. Barely enough room to get your hand in much less garbage. It is slim so leaving it out doesn't take much room. I can measure when I go home if you need it. Let me know.

I suppose you could but I think it's meant to be against a wall. If it were sitting in the middle of a kitchen and you were trying to be able to access it from both sides I think it would be a little awkward to reach through from what is supposed to be the "back". I guess it could work in the right kitchen though. We use it against a wall to hold our major appliances and our recycling bins at the bottom. We have the cutting board flipped with the grove facing down so that we can place our microwave on the flat side of the board. Hope this helps.
