Can it be safely put in a microwave cabinet-how much air space does it need in back, sides, top?

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!!!

That's a real good question. Our first burnt out and I'm wondering if it didn' t have enough cool air circulating. It was in a close space in our small RV. Haven't had the nerve to use the convection oven sence.

I used to have Panasonic convection oven in my motor home and needed to replace so I shopped to size so it will fit in the cabinet. I have on both side about 2 inches, at top 2 inches, and at back about 5 inches. When it is used it gets so hot so make sure install metal sheet in a inside box. I think if it is possible a fun at back to circulate air so there is no one spot to be extreme hot. Good luck!!!

We have a fairly large tv on top, and some fairly heavy kitchen appliances (breadmaker, crockpots, etc.) on shelf inside with no problem. It appears to be very sturdy and solid, so I think it would take a microwave ok.

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.

Same answer as the answer below. I also use the vented top on smaller containers in the microwave even though it doesn't fit.

Marty, Generally speaking the space between the top of the burners and the bottom of the ventilation-style microwave is 18-24 inches. There may be requirements in your state.ThanksMelanie

I would not suggest it. This unit needs full airflow all around it. I have mine in a cabinet space with ample air circulation, but it died after a year. You need to find one that is actually "under counter installation" approved.

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. :)

it measures 13 and 1/4 inches from front to back, but the front feet are 10 1/2" from the back, so you should have and extra 1 1/2" of shelf in front of the feet of the microwave. It should fit without any fear of it not sitting properly.

Mine is in a 3 sided cabinet with an open back. Doesn't seem to get too hot. Mine does have space on both sides, front and top of unit . Our open back allows for plenty of air circulation.

It really depends on the weight of the microwave I would say, 18.5 x 14.5 for the top. Overall the 2 sets I bought were both steady , but I am not sure about putting a microwave on top because it has wheels. If you have to, build this using power tool so it wouldn't be as shaky.

The top shelf is 11 inches deep, 30 inches long so it could take a small microwave. I am also sure it is sturdy enough for a small microwave. Donna

I currently have mine with about that much space on the sides and maybe 3 in the back and have no problems. Unit is quiet and very stable temperature.

It can hold a medium one no issues, but larger ones may be unsteady. The top isn't overly large, so a large microwave would probably hang off the edge.

The opening is 18" wide, 10 1/2 " high and 10" deep, your microwave would need to be a small one.

There's definable room for even a med size microwave but your question wasn't complete so I don't what else you needed to put onto unit. There's plenty of room on the middle and lower shelf too.

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.

I would say yes, it does not take up much room and it hold a lot. You will need a power strip because it does not accommodate a 3 prong microwave plug, but the power strip works great because u can plug in several appliances.
