Hello. Does this microwave have inset hinges so it can open against a wall? My microwave and stove are flush against a wall on the left and the door has to open no wider than the unit. null

Question

James · Accepted Answer

My microwave has inset hinges on the left, so the door opens from the right side of the unit to the left. When the door is opened fully, it appears the door would extend past the left wall of the unit by approximately 1/4 of an inch. If you install your unit flush to the left side wall, it appears the unit's door would hit the wall by a quarter of an inch and not open fully. Hope this helps? My microwave is installed forward of the wall and therefore the door clears the wall.
