What are the ventilation requirements? I would like to place the iWavecube in an open cabinet with a few inches of clearence around the unit. What does the manufacture recommend?

I cannot answer your question. my iWavecube will be on top of an small end table which is open on all sides.

I'm not sure. My situation changed and the oven is not being used. However the controls are on top so there would have to be visibility and access there.

It needs to have adequate ventilation. I believe the instructions said at least 8" around.

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!!!

Technically this is difficult to answer, without seeing your exact set up. The big issue with these is that they do have specific venting requirements, with special pipe etc. If you can satisfy those, you should be good to go as the unit itself does not put out a lot of heat (ours is a 2 person household. YMMV if you have this running for hours keeping up with multiple showers etc.) Our hangs in a relatively tight attic "crawl space" in condo - and very satisfied.

It needs some airflow, we installed it in the back of our entertainment unit in the cabinet that holds the speakers, but there is an air gap between the unit and the wall-- ours isnt installed directly in the wall. this product basically a set of fans, so its pulling air from behind and pushing the air over the component (at least in our set up) so can you achieve that airflow in your closet?

The unit cannot be completely enclosed. It is air cooled and needs fresh air for the intake.

Okay. I already responded that you have to put this device in a small room - and that you have to make sure that there are NO OBSTRUCTIONS TO THE AIR PATHWAYS to and from the vents on the device.

Anytime! & EnjoyBut Do keep in Mind, It's Not something that will Circulate a LARGE Room. I believe the have Bigger units similar to this that's probably better fit for that kind of a job.Also, remember Not to keep things Such as Wires, curtains or cloth clothing and materials so close to it Because they will melt or catch fire but the warning label will tell you more of it.

I have had this unit installed indoors for about 3 months. It is working great so far! It makes a solid suare cube about 3/4" X 3/4" with indented top. No issues.

There is no ventilation, but the unit is not air tight. The finish is similar to brushed nickel, but not an exact match.

Assuming that is 25' x 25' x 10', I believe 1 unit would be challenged if you're in Northern Alberta - checking some weather info for Fort McMurray (a guess), I see 'average' lows of -10 F and minimum lows of -30 F over the last 20 years (and -58 F for the long-term). I set mine at 45 F for a 24' x 30' x10' (12' roof peak) metal building (not that well insulated) in Texas and with +8 F ambients, it was on 45 minutes/off 15. I did buy 2 but only put 1 in service, as that was acceptable to me. Also, there are recommended minimum clearances of 34" top and 68" below for these units; a 10' ceiling and a 12" unit height means you're almost at minimums (34" + 12" + 68" = 114" = 9'-6") to start. With the radiant heat flux off these units, the area directly below (or directly facing if you mount the unit at an angle, as I did) will get hot, so depending on what you're using the space for, there may be issues with localized 'hot spots'. Having a method to keep the air in the building/room well-distributed is also important (I used 2 ceiling fans) for several reason. The unit will consume O2 out of the air - about 1 cubic foot of O2 per minute. There is a recommended fresh air flow in of 160 CFM for this heater (high, IMO as a Chemical Engineer, but I'd want at least 50 CFM), so proper ventilation is also a concern if your room/building is 'tight'. You can better evaluate your specific application, but I believe one 40,000 BTU/Hr unit would be marginal in that size building (unless very well insulated) in the climate I think you're looking at.

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

zero lgt other than micro leds on top of unit. will roast u in summer temps and komfort u in winter temps with 90+ exhaust air to room space. this is a take.off from kommercial units that has been adapted for domestik use and yes it KAN dry u out, u will wish u had a gF that looked this good !!

Haha, make sure the curiosity doesn't get the better of you and make you open it up for a tour. I am also wondering how its managing heat. My guess is the traditional copper piping with aluminum "fin" style heatsink attached behind the LED chips with the fans blowing across.

Needs to be in an enclosure. I would not buy this model since they have an updated much better unit.

This unit CAN NOT be located inside any building for many reasons. One being the exhaust and two being that the unit needs 'free' air to cool itself during run. Also any modification to the exhaust on this unit, including extension would fully void the warranty.

I have it in an outbuilding with a finished upper level. We are in Michigan, worked perfectly last winter, kept the building (832 sqft down, 512 sqft up) very comfortable. We watch television upstairs directly over the heater, up there noise not an issue. In the open space where heater is, acceptability of noise level and air movement would be subjective (not objectionable to me).
