How much space is required on sides of microwave for safe performance? I want to place it in a cabinet that is 18 inches wide.

DeannaThe 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 believe that should work, as I have my microwave on a tiny counter in my kitchen.

The installation guide that is contained in the instruction manual reads: For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 8" of space above the microwave, 4" at the back, and 2" on each side of the unit. I hope that this helps you! Best, Steve Antrasian

Basically they recommend the increased depth so that the microwave doesn't overheat. If it doesn't have space to breath it could get too hot. also, check out the parts included I.e. tray the microwave sits on... They may also be deeper than 16"

I have a very tiny kitchen, with very limited counter spaces the microwave needed to sit in a small utility table. I would have liked.a little larger one. The dimensions are a little smaller than stated, they 18 W 12 1/2 D 11 H.My problem was the first one that was sent to me didn't work, I had to return it. I'm am elderly so that turned out to be a real hassle for me. The second one ,so far, works very well. It's a bit more tinny than I would have liked. Hope this helps with your decision.

Hi! The exterior dimensions of the microwave I purchased are 13-3/4" in height, 19-3/4 in depth, and 24" in width. I hope that helps!

18"d x 17.25"w x 7.125"hYou'll want to leave room for cables in the back, and room on the sides and top for air-flow. So, effectively, I'd go no smaller than 20"d x 20"w x 9.25"h for a spot in your media cabinet, or 6U for rack space.

The feet are 14 inches apart, side to side. The microwaves width will hang out

I measured it from the front to the back and it is 13". My microwave measures 21"L by 17"W by 11" deep

I didn't purchase it for using it with a microwave, but I've measured the space where the microwave would be and it's 21 1/2" wide - 14 1/4" High - 15 3/4" deep. The depth is from the back to the front edge. I hope this helps you. What I purchased it for is to use to store our liquer and drinking glasses. It works great.

From the metal back to the front is 14 3/8", so depending upon where the "legs" of the microwave fall, it may fit. You have 16" high to the bottom shelf.

I just took a trip to the kitchen and it/mine is exactly 12" using a really reliable builder's tape. As Sansan indicated it might be a bit risky not having room for ventilation. My microwave does not get hot or warm when I use it, usually just to reheat items under 2 min's.

From the cabinet the trim kit sticks out about 1.25 inches. We fit the microwave flush with the front. Looks great!!

the manual say that you should have 1 inch dlearance above the microwave. I think it has to do with the heat

I installed it in an 18" wide cabinet, I would guess that the unit requires about 15" width for clearance. Do they have a wider model? Yes it will fit a 24" cabinet width, but if they have an other unit that is made to fit closer to 24", you will have about +4" space on each side.

The depth is 12 inches, but it needs an extra one inch in the back to "breathe." I have it mounted under cabinets that are 12 inches deep, and it looks good. The extra inch that it sticks out below the cabinet is just about the size of the microwave door, so it makes sense, since the door needs open space to swing open.

It would depend upon if the cabinet is large enough and if has doors do that shut with out touching the front of the microwave. I suggest you measure your space and match it to the size of the appliance.

From the ground up it's 12 3/4" high, the width 20 1/2", and depth is 16". I'd say add 1 1/2 more for the plug in the back so 17 1/2 total depth unless you don't mind squishing your plug a little. UPDATE: I noticed Stacy's dimensions are a little different than ours. If you measure just the face of the microwave her dimensions are spot on, but we added the legs which jut out from under the face a bit, hence the difference in our measurements. You can take off the rubber stoppers but I wouldn't recommend it since there seems to be a vent down there. I think the problem with trying to fit static appliances in to custom spaces is you have to be sure you have room for proper venting and that the face aligns well with the face of your cabinet while the rest of the carriage aligns with your power source and existing cabinet shelve. The problem with microwaves is that they are rarely perfect boxes. The under carriage juts down about a half an inch with quarter inch rubber stoppers and the back of the unit juts out about an inch or so from the main casing. The plug is on the upper right side and sticks out about an inch. Its RIGHT above a vent so I'm not sure its okay to wind that cord in front of a vent when you're placing a microwave into an enclosed area. I am by no means an appliance installer, so I'd ask around and see what the pitfalls can occur when placing this off the shelf into a confined area.
