A:AnswerThe dimensions are:
Width: 29 7/8"
Height: 16 29/32"
Depth: 15 5/32" (Cabinet depth should be 12" to allow for door opening and venting if you recirculate into the kitchen and not outside. If your cabinet is deeper, you need to build a frame on the back wall to move the microwave out.)

A:AnswerYou would need to build a frame to move it out from the back wall to allow the door to open, and the vents on the top front need to be open if you are venting into the kitchen.
A:AnswerHey Stilgar.
You can call the parts department at 1-800-627-4368 or go to www.samsungparts.com to order the handle. The ten-year warranty is only for the magnetron.
