Does the cabinet get hot?

No only the front exhaust vent, it's a large blow dryer with 2 speeds, does the job.

No, not at all. The only part that gets hot is where the heated air blows out of it.

We have it in a media cabinet behind a glass door but the back panel of the cabinet is off allowing heat to be released. Haven't noticed much heat output and I believe it has an eco mode, allowing it to run on a cooler temperature. I'm really happy with this unit

It has to be able to have free air circulation. If the cabinet is totally enclosed it would not cool well once the heat built up

It gets warm to hot just in front of stove, particularly when the fan is off. Above and behind it not so much.

Mine gets really hot, that has never been a problem. It actually gets hotter that I had anticipated.

Yes. With all recievers they get warm. I found this out wiyh my last Sony. I had it in an enclosed entertainment center with glass doors. It did not have enough ventilation and eventually stopped working. To combat the heat I added a small low speed cooling fan to the cabinet. Similar to what you would see on a desktop computer. I simply cut a hole in the back of the cabinet and screwed into wood. Very low noise does a great job keeping cool. Found fan on Amazon.Hope this helps!

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!!!

While the oven does get hot to touch, it is safe being under the cabinets. The best part is that it does not heat up the kitchens like a conventional oven. We just purchased a second one to take to our summer home next spring.

Yes it does get hot i took the cover off and drilled lots of vent holes in the cover and does not get as hot. Also it will not pass true 5.1 surround sound so mine just sits in the closet now.

Depends what you mean by "very." It is hot to the touch but not combustably so. I store extra trays on top and they don't get hot.

I have not noticed it getting very warm on the outside. I simply paced in on my countertop uner a corner cabinet and have had no problems.

Yes. It gets very hot. Definitely a con on this. I have to hold the handle with a small towel.

Yes, outer cabinet will not heat up, more compact than the Lifesmart heater purchased previous to this one. I had an element burn out on the earlier model and a phone call got me instructions and all new elements. It remains in use.

I suppose if you have an electrical source coming from behind the cabinet to feed the unit. But if you leave it on all the time like I do, I would take a chance of the heat drying out and cracking the wood. Or worse being a fire risk.

I noticed that it caused my cabinet to separate, which means there is a lot of heat generated from the top, so I moved it out from underneat the cabinet and it's fine. I have a granite counter top so it's ok on that.I love the oven!!

Hi LA, Thanks for your interest in the NE58F9500SS Electric Slide-In Range. This and other Samsung Electric Ranges have been designed to comply with the maximum allowable wood cabinet temperature of 194F (90C). Make sure the wall covering, countertops, and cabinets around the range can withstand the heat (up to 194 F [90 C]) generated by the range. If not, discoloration, delamination, or melting may occur. I would suggest consulting your cabinet manufacturer's specifications to ensure they meet these standards. - Ms. Samsung
