“Can an over the range microwave be installed to sit on a shelf, and vent to the front (recirculate)? I want to purchase a convection combo microwave, but I do not want to install above the range. However, most of the models I find with the baking features I want are OTR. If they offer front venting, can they just sit on a shelf? Is there a specific model you recommend for this?”

Why would you want to? The vent also is for the 2 grease filters on the bottom of the microwave, plus, there is a light. The frame that comes with the microwave is sooooo easy to install, then the microwave sits on two tabs, and 2 screws from above, that is the tricky part, you have to cut the template to size based on the the underpart of the cabinet and its thickness. a little bit of attention to detail, patience, and you will get it done.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
