“Can the microwave be used when in a cabinet? I could always take it out of cabinet to use other features. I want a Samsung black stainless to match our other appliances, but our opening isn’t as planned and the opening is only 21” wide.”

The door opens from top to bottom so width isn't a problem, hope that helps
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The manual, which you can get a pdf on their website, states that there should be at least 20 cm (7.874") above the unit, 10 cm (3.937") on each side, and 85 cm (33.465") off the floor for adequate ventilation. If not, the unit might overheat and fail or it could star a fire. It's just barely under 21" wide (20.56") and weighs 44.1 lbs. which would make it difficult to move it in out of your island. Convection ovens are a lot heavier and create much more heat then a regular microwave because it's a real oven and has large heating elements and the extra electronics to power them. Also, the controls on this unit are kind of hard to read for my old eyes and would be hard for me to read them that close to the floor. I would not recommend using this Microwave in the island. I would only use it on a countertop as stated in the Specifications in the manual.
