A:AnswerThe particular model I purchased was an over the range model. They do have built in models in store. I’m assuming the built in models include a trim kit.
A:AnswerMine is 18 inches from cook top. I'm 5'1". I can't see in but that's not really an issue. You don't want it too close to the cook top because of the heat. I would check with the manufacturer.
A:AnswerOurs was not built into a cabinet - it was installed beneath a cabinet and over a stove - it was done that way because the microwave is larger than the cabinet
A:Answerit has a great 6 speed fan controllable on the door it can slow down to quite a low level, so if sound is a worry this unit gives you 6 options, each one quieter than the one prior.
A:Answerklin, the Microwave is designed to be installed over the Range. You would need to follow all location requirements. This information can be found on pages 2-3 of the Installation Instructions: https://www.kitchenaid.com/content/dam/global/documents/201408/installation-instructions-W10724870-RevA.pdf .
A:AnswerThere should be no paper in the cooking area at all. I would remove it.
My unit came with a manual & a laminated cooking reference guide. If you do not have these, I would contact Kitchenaid or go on line to get you manuals.
A:AnswerIf you want a counter top model, they are actually cheaper, more attractive and space efficient and that's what you should be focusing on. Over the range microwaves are only designed for over the range mounting. For starters, the power cord comes out of the top of the cabinet and it's top and sides aren't finished. Not a good look. Plus this beast is nearly 30" wide and will gobble up an awful lot of counter space. Also, as others have said, the bottom mounted exhaust intake and lighting would be rendered useless.
A:AnswerThere is a spec sheet that comes with the microwave, There is a bracket you mount on the back wall. The microwave is heavier than other microwaves.
