These microwaves are not intended for installation right next to walls or cabinetry that are deeper than the microwave off the back wall. When you open the door, the door is usually wider than the 30" dimension of the unit itself. It's meant to be installed between two cabinets and under a shorter cabinet, but only secures to the bracket that comes with it for wall mounting and either 2 or 3 screws that you fasten from above in cabinet. You could probably get away with only having a minimum of 1 1/2" space before wall on the hinge side of unit if space is at a premium. Most of the units hinge on the left. If you have 30" before you hit anything deeper than the micro, you should be safe. The micro doors usually have a set stop angle on them as well. They don't just swing freely. I'm a kitchen remodeler, so I hang these all the time. I don't work for Bestbuy either. Hope this helps.
