A:AnswerThe minimum opening width is 25.5" (25 1/2") for the oven including the exhaust vent to fit. The base is the width of the oven itself and will fit the 25", but once you attach the supplied vent to the oven you will need the full 25.5".

A:AnswerIn response to the above answer, the correct width of the Panasonic NN-SD987SA model is actual 23 7/8 inches, not 27 inches.
With that information, can someone please tell us what the correct kit number would be? Thank you.
A:AnswerJohn, thank you for reaching out to us with your question. Please contact our tech support team via chat https://shop.panasonic.com/contactus with the valid model number Mon-Fri 9am-5:30pm est.
A:AnswerThe cabinet measurements are the real problem. It is how the trim connects to the cabinet that is the problem. See review by “CharlieCat.” If they don’t line up perfectly, it won’t work.
