Dear Mountain Girl - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and I am happy to help you. This microwave does not offer a trim kit to built into a cabinet nor a hanging kit for mounting it under a cabinet. If you wish to set a countertop microwave such as this inside a cabinet, then it should have a 3" air clearance on each side and on the top, and a 1" air clearance in the rear. In cabinet installation for countertop microwaves is not recommended without the use of a built in kit. But if a built in kit is not available, then the above air clearances are necessary. If the microwave is located near a range, a two foot clearance on the side adjacent to the range will be necessary. Microwaves cannot be mounted over a range unless they are specifically made to be an over-the-range model, with a vent included. I hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This Model does not have any holes on top to be mounted under cabinets. It is over the counter only. My cabinets have space for a microwave with a piece of wood from cabinet to cabinet to rest it over it. Recommended clearances: 3 inches on each side, 3 inches on top and 1 inch in the rear. Measurements: Depth 12 3/4" Height 10 3/16" Width 17 5/16"
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If your upper cabinets are standard depth (12") this microwave will fit on the shelf but NOT with the cabinet door closed The depth as described is correct. There isn't a microwave made that is 12" or less deep.
