Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Ak- An over-the-range microwave is not designed for installation in a cabinet or cut-out space where the bottom is covered. They cannot be used on a counter or shelf. The underside is not flat and would not provide a stable surface. Additionally, there can be a heat issue, especially if the vent fan or surface lights were accidentally turned on.
