A:AnswerIn order for the microwave to be connected to the wall using the supplied brackets, it must be hung from the base of the cabinet. Merely sitting the unit inside a cabinet will give it no anchor against tipping with the door open, and the unit will vibrate during the convection oven function due to lack of attachment to a solid surface.
A:AnswerNo, our application is under cabinet mounting. As the fan/exhaust vents are located on the bottom of unit, I would be concerned about using it on the counter as the air flow and exhaust functions would be restricted. The microwave works very well and we are happy with the purchase but be careful of counter top use. Good luck1
