Can this microwave be built in over the oven with a trim kit?

Yes it can! I did it and it looks great. I have it sitting above a 2nd oven that makes it look like dual ovens.

There is a trim kit available. If you go to the Sharp website and look this item up the instructions will give you the part number and show you the minimum clearances required between the oven and this unit.

I know it can be built in and you can buy a trim kit. The problem is the heat generated if you use the conventional oven at the same time as you use this oven

I saw a trim kit but realistically this model is pretty big so you would need a big space. I have seen smaller similar convection/mocrowave ovens you might want to use for above an oven

It works better to put if you put the microwave in a cabinet and use trim kit to finish the front. It will produce a custom look

I wouldn't do that, this unit is to heavy for that. Appliance stores sell a microwave that does go over the oven, but you're talking over $500.00.We purchased a corner cabinet that this microwave fits into, and by doing this we got a nice looking cabinet with above and below storage. Hope this helped.

According to the installation instructions on the owners manual page 3 says " your microwave oven can be built into a cabinet or wall by itself or above any Electric wall oven or warming drawer using Sharp's built-in kit. It cannot be built in above any gas wall oven. So please contact the Sharp company for the specific kit building instructions based on the model.

This unit is way to heavy for that. They make microwaves that are made to fit over the oven. A microwave that goes over the oven is around $500.00. We bought a built in to put in the corner and we have this microwave there, plus the built in gives you plenty of storage above and below the microwave.

Yes. You can buy a bracket kit from most vendors that allow you to mount the microwave under the counter. I will be selling my bracket kit. After the unit we had broke after a few years I replaced it with another brand. I will not be needing my hardware.

I don't know. The paperwork that came with mine mentioned everything but oven. However, at a kitchen specialty store here in town where they were selling these same items (at a somewhat higher price) the salesperson said they could go in the oven. I'd double check with the manufacturer though before doing so.

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.

The overall trim size is 29 7/8" x 18". The bottom of the trim is 2 5/8". However the trim kit comes with a metal piece which fits under the microwave to allow the heat to escape. This raises the microwave by about 1/2"

Unlikely for model JES0736SPSS and others that don't list an "undercabinet hanging kit" in the Accessories section. Four screw holes must be available in the top of the microwave for the bracket screws to attach to.

It is hazardous to place metal objects be placed in microwave ovens. A wire rack would be just such an object, so they are never standard equipment.

This trim kit is built specifically for the Frigidaire gallery series microwave. If your microwave is exactly the same size then it will work.

We also purchased a new microwave and wanted to use the existing trim kit (to save $$$) and it worked GREAT!

There is a "trim kit" for mounting it in an enclosed space in kitchen cabinets, but this a facade. This microwave is a tabletop model which can be trimmed into a cabinet, but it is not designed to be "mounted" anywhere. Look elsewhere for a microwave made for that purpose.

Yes. You can get an optional kit to mount this under a counter. You would probably save money by buying a microwave designed for this purpose already.

I'm guessing "yes." Mine came out so bad, I'm not using my microwave anymore. It's a wall oven/microwave and costs about $2000 to replace, so I'm living without it.

no . they have changer the new microwave just enough that the old trim kit will not work .

I bought this unit to replace a built-in unit. It slid right into the same space; however, it is necessary to purchase the trim kit for this specific unit. Also check the deminsions carefully. This is a large oven.It is the best piece of equipment in my kitchen. I love it!

No, we just ordered the microwave......but my installer did have to go to H.D to pick up some extra pieces to get it to vent right, so maybe it would be a good idea to purchase the install kit especially if you intend to vent it outside to roof.

Yes. I bought it as a gift for my staff and the y love it. It works better than the older microwaves and we're able to bake cookies and toasted cheese sandwiches. Big hit.

according to trim kit installation instructions, page 6, the min depth should be 21" - sufficient space to allow the microwave to sit in the cabinet with extra depth for air circulation
