Hi Dontwanttouseventatall, It is not recommended that this appliance be built in. This appliance is designed to be open on the bottom for the ventilation uses. We hope this helps.

I wouldn't. It's pretty big. The front is the whole door. If you don't need the vent, you shouldn't use the convection feature.

John · Answer

I would not recommend it for a number of reasons. 1) you may have a problem opening the door; 2) how will you anchor it within the cabinet since it is not made to do so?; 3) the bottom is not flat which could cause another issue with how to mount it; 4) Lastly, microwaves and convection ovens require airflow. In the manual it states: "Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven." Therefore, you will most likely void its warranty by enclosing it in a cabinet.
