The manual states, "The oven must be placed on a countertop which is a minimum of 36 inchesfrom the floor. Allow at least 2 inches on the sides, top and at the rear of the oven for air circulation. Be sure to position oven so that the rear cannot be touched inadvertently. Do not place or install the oven in any area whereheat and steam are generated; for example, next to or above a conventional gas or electric rangeor above a conventional wall oven. Heat and steam may damage the electronics or the mechanical parts of the oven." Sharp also sells a kit if you want to build it into a cabinet or wall.

Sorry I took so long to get back to you, I was gone a few days. I have mine on my kitchen counter, so it is open on 2 sides. I have about 6" from the top of the unit to the bottom of my cabinet. I have it pulled out about 3" from the wall behind it. I didn't find anything in the book about it, but just used common sense, and it has been working fine, no problems.

You should have just enough clearance. I measured mine how I think you would use it and it measures about 9-1/4 inches. I would think the main concern would be your pans. You will want to make sure they can fit in that space on their side. I hope this helps.

Hello Tmchow and thank you for your inquiry. The more space, the better but I would suggest a minimum of 2" of space. We're here to help so please let us know if you have any additional questions! Thanks again,Scott G and the rest of the ListenUp sales team1.877.744.1179

Does anyone know how much air circulation (space) it requires top, sides, bottom?

Clearance is about 2 inches and width is about 1 foot 2.5 inches. There is no back wall so wires can go under from there or through the sides as the feet have about a 1 inch clearance.

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.

Try finding the item on newegg.com. they have good detailed specs for most items. I have this in a mid tower and have no problems with clearance.

With the terminal posts I would say that you need at least 8.5 inches clearance. 9 inches would be better.

The sides don't matter. However, with the desk in the low position, I found I needed about 3 or 4 inches of clearance at the back to accommodate the cords trailing from my docking station and monitors.

I would esimate about an inch it was not much. I had an couch with very little clearance and did not have any issues.

We have had our cover rock-it for a few months now, and use it regularly. There is maybe 2 or three inches clearance on either side. Makes things SOOO much easier.

Yes, you should have enough clearance. The good thing with buying them from amazon is that even if you run into a fitment issue, they'll take it as a return with no problems.

Yes, enough clearance. You also want to make sure you leave enough clearance for the tray below.

the book says a minimum clearance of 3 inches is required between the oven and any adjacent walls, one side must be open leave a clearance of 12 inches above the oven

Yes, the measurements are correct. You should have 1/2" clearance on the sides and top and approx. 2" at the bottom.

Yes. It looks like it has room. There's about an inch of clearance on both sides.

The model I got has a huge amount of space. Don't have a ruler, but seems close to 2 feet at max. You can obviously reduce the space as much as you want.
