It doesn't really sit high on any feet. So there's no space underneath the microwave for it to get airflow to the vent holes in the back. Unless it is a fairly large space in the cabinet, or has ways to pull in air to the back, I'd recommend either putting it somewhere different, or at least giving it 1 inch of clearance on the top or side so air can get to the back. I'm not an expert by any means, but I know enough that if something has a vent for pulling in air, you need to accommodate that.
