Hello Isaac - We appreciate your interest in the microwave JES1657BMTS and we are happy to help! Microwaves need adequate air clearance on each side, the rear and the top to function properly. This allows good circulation for the intake and discharge air vents. Countertop models require 3" of clearance on both sides and the top and 1" clearance in the rear. The front edge of the microwave (measured at door) should sit at least 3" or more back on the counter or shelf to avoid accidental tipping. These microwaves are intended for countertop use only. We do not recommend installing them in tight spaces, like a cabinet. We hope that this helps! Thanks very much for writing to us. Olga
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The vent is all along the bottom of the left side as you face it.
