Hello, how is the microwave attached to the cabinet? Are there holes in the top of the microwave? Thank, NS

Yes, there are holes on the top of the microwave, and the paper template provided in this kit helps you drill the holes in your cabinet to align with the holes in the microwave.

I sent this up for my son, so I don't exactly know, but don't buy this product. It is a piece of junk! The shelf did not fit the depth of the microwave, so it would be for a very small microwave. The outlet is two-prong! When I was setting it up, the top shelf screw broke off. This is one that was already there, so it wouldn't hold the shelf! Also, they company told me it would be delivered by Dec. 20th, and as soon as I sent it, it changed to January!! The only response they would give me was have a happy holiday! I was quite angry! There are no real directions to put it together, so you are on your own there too! It is also sent from another country... I would love to throw this junk back to them!

I believe you have to purchase the mounting kit separately. The mounting kit came with a paper template on where to drill holes in your cabinet. I had mounting kit from my previous microwave but the holes don't line up the same so I wasn't able to reuse. A handyman was able to retrofit a similar with parts from hardware store.

There is a plastic shield covering it. I noticed a few days later. Did you take your plastic off of it. Because I have no problem now with my microwave.

No, it needs to mount to a cabinet opening whit the recomended dimentions. Its important for the microwave to be able to work appropietly.

yes ,i made my own apparatus..i used wood to make underside of cabinet level;then i used perforated angle iron on either side to suspend. sheet metal screws were used to attach the "angle iron" to the top of the side panel of the microwave .(sheet metal screws were short an did not interfere with the wave's internal parts -no parts at top.futhermore, there are mounting kits available.the reason why i chose this way because i wanted the smallest wave primarily to heat up items,and it being suspended in corner above countertop freed up counter and provided some space under this installation.hpoe this helps with your inquiry.

Hi Andrea,We have put our microwave on top on of the"cupboard". Also, it does have a low grade finish. So far, everything is working out very well. :)

I am sorry, I really cannot answer this question. I bought this as a gift, so I do not have it. I do know that a microwave was placed on the larger shelf and the top shelf is about half that size. Can set quite a few things on the top shelf. Hope this is somewhat helpful. It is a nice cabinet and great for the purpose.

the frame you see in the photo does not attach to the microwave, it attaches to the opening. There are other parts not shown in the photo which are secured to the side and under the microwave that keep it secure on shelf and lined up with the trim. Here's a link to the installation manual that will probably explain it better. http://shop.panasonic.com/docs/installation-manual/TrimKitInstallation_TK621.pdf

The top of the cabinet needs to have a rectangular hole cut into it and the main portion of the cook top drops into that hole and is secured with some screws. So you have to have a clear space big enough for that hole (12 X 16 in) and about 4 in underneath. The portion that you see in the photo attaches to that.

The rim on top of the cabinet is not glued on and is very secured. My husband put the cabinet together and he says it's either part of the top piece or was screwed on in which case there might be holes showing.

It's a metal under counter mounting bracket for a GE Microwave. You lay a paper templet on inside of cabinet and drill holes through the corresponding marks. Reading and measuring accurately is the most important step in selecting the correct template. Once you establish the lay out you drill 4 quick holes through cabinet shelf, attach metal strips, bolts and microwave and your done. It took longer to read, understand and select the correct template then to do the installation. Hope this helps.

There is no hole but the back doesn't go to the top service of the cabinet. The depth is 15 inches

I isntalled it myself, with the help of my neighbor -- you only need help to actually hang it from the bracket -- everything before and after that you can do yourself. The bigger hassle was getting the old one out -- it was real snug. Yes, we love the microwave too -- love being able to use convective oven to bake, and especially to reheat pizza!

Sorry Frank the microwave is in our house in DC and we are in Houston....and have no way to measure. I do know that we had to drill new holes from the ones we had on our old unit.

Mine is kept in a shelf about 2 feet above the range. woks this well with no problems. eventually my microwave started turning on/off/making sounds independently and had to be replaced. not sure why this occurred.
