Microwave oven, convection microwave, oven underbench mounting with trimkit
Microwave ovens and convection microwave ovens are venting cooking appliances. They must be able to
‘breathe’, otherwise their purpose, performance and longevity are compromised.
A wall-mounted microwave unit, with an accompanying trimkit, can vent to the front via designed gaps in the
trimkit but most of the venting is actually done through the venting channel created at the rear of the kitchen
cabinet.
A freestanding microwave oven, that is, sitting on an open kitchen bench or an open raised shelf, is perfectly able
to vent and cool itself in this unrestrictive space.
An underbench-mounted microwave oven, particularly one installed with a trimkit, also needs to be able to
exchange air in its immediate vicinity and cool itself. Since rear upward venting is impossible as the enclosed
kitchen bench prohibits such venting, the air from at least one adjacent cabinet plus the air below the platform on
which the microwave oven sits must be accessed. Simply ensure long, open slots or multiple round holes access
the adjacent cabinetry through the rear side walls and floor of the microwave oven space. This venting will
alleviate the possible sweating and overheating of the microwave oven. The more access to air the microwave
unit has, the better its performance and the less damage to cabinetry due to heat and moisture.
The depth, that is, front to back measurement of the
two vertical and the floor slots, should be as large as
practicable,
