“Can it be installed in an open cabinet instead of over the range?”

As long as there is enough space underneath it for airflow plus enough structure to install the rear mounting bracket and a permanent sturdy shelf to put the hanging bolts through to securely suspend it from above. These are heavy units that require a solid structure behind and directly above them for safe installation. Personally I wouldn't pay extra for the range hood over the stove model when a countertop model that will fit the cabinet would be a more reasonable option that won't require installation.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello there! We appreciate your question about installing the MHEC1737F microwave. This model is specifically designed for over-the-range installation, as it includes a built-in ventilation system to clear out steam, smoke, and odors from your cooktop. Installing it in an open cabinet could interfere with ventilation and safety requirements. For non-over-the-range setups, a countertop or built-in microwave might be a better fit.
