“Is the width 17 5/16" with the door open at 90 degrees and 17" with the door closed? I want to put it in an 18" wide space with plenty of clearance for ventilation in the back and top, but solid walls on both sides of the unit.”

Your measurements are accurate. Mine is in a cupboard with an opening of 18 1/4" and it works well. My cupboard gets wider after the opening framework. But I think you would have about 3/8" on each side.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Anna- The approximate width is 17 5/16" (door closed).

This allows good circulation for the intake and discharge air vents. Countertop Models: 3" of clearance on both sides and the top and 1" clearance in the rear.
