Hi there, ZiggyQ! When installing the Frigidaire Gallery 27" Electric Wall Oven and Microwave Combination (model GCWM2767AF) with one of the ducted ventilation types (external venting), the installation instructions typically mention whether you need a spacer for cabinets that are deeper than 13 inches. In this case, the need for a spacer depends on how the microwave is mounted and the available depth of your cabinet. The 13-inch depth is often referenced to ensure that the microwave’s vent and exhaust system have enough room to function properly when venting externally. If your cabinet depth is greater than 13 inches, you may still need a spacer to ensure that the microwave fits properly and vents effectively. However, in most cases, the spacer is required for cabinets that are too shallow to accommodate the ventilation system without interfering with the ducting. If your cabinet depth is greater than 13 inches, you should not need a spacer, but you must check the installation manual for the specific requirements, as some configurations might still require one for optimal performance and fit. Always refer to the installation manual provided by Frigidaire for exact guidelines specific to your cabinet size and the venting option you're using. - Maico
