• Hi Driller- JES1657SMSS is approximately 21 3/4"Width x 12 7/8"Height x 17 3/4"Depth. Many upper cabinets are 12"- 15" deep. Also, 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. We recommend 3" of clearance on both sides and the top and 1" clearance in the rear.
