“I'm looking to put a microwave inside of a cabinet (with doors that close) and was told I need a built-in microwave for proper ventilation and I will need to keep the cabinet doors open while using it. Can I install this microwave without the trim kit?”

Hi khilbrands, thank you for your question. It is not recommended to install the microwave inside a closed cabinet without the trim kit. The trim kit is required for proper built-in installation because it helps ensure safe ventilation and airflow. Placing the unit in a cabinet with doors, even if opened during use, can restrict airflow and lead to overheating. If you choose not to use the trim kit, the microwave should only be used as a countertop model with proper clearances around it for ventilation. — Reed
