Is it normal for the oven's inside to become fairly warm?

My answer is going to be a bit different than what I've read by others. My intent is not to be controversial but to err on the side of caution. Mine sits on a counter top with a space of 10" from the top of the oven to the bottom of a kitchen cabinet. Either side of the oven has at least 6" of space. The bottom sits on the counter top on the units four mounted feet. Broiling a steak, chops, etc. is doing it's job at 500 degrees so if the unit didn't get hot then I doubt it would be doing its job. Naturally heat rises and disperses to the top and to each side. These would be areas I would not choose to touch while it's on for obvious reasons. I've had mine now for nearly a year without any problems. Giving proper attention by allowing the unit to have ventilation above and to each side; you shouldn't have any issues with heat.

As long as the handles are off to the side they don't get unreasonably hot. They do get a little warm but nothing that requires oven mitts.

No, it does not get hot to the touch. I have touched it while it was baking and did not experience any excessive heat.

Mine has been in continuous operation, indoors, for two months and is not the least bit warm to the touch.

I put an oven thermometer inside. It takes 3-5 minutes to reach temperature.

Barely noticeable. I have not noticed the machine getting overly hot either. It seems to stay quite cool to the touch

There Is a very "slight" warmness, but definitely not anything that feels hot at all. I love this item. It has saved me 3 times already from loosing my entire freezer full of food. Thanks

There is a thermometer attached to the interior of the oven - very visible. The oven usually reaches 325 to 350 degrees on a clear day.

It has a small round oven thermometer in the upper right corner of the enclosed oven. It works very well, sometimes it's a little foggy due to condensed steam on the overlying window but I like it. I suppose it's possible that it reads a bit hotter than the lower parts of the oven, especially before the whole oven has heated up.

If its actually too hot to touch then thats bad, but if its warm I think thats normal. I tested mine by turning it up to 6 for a few minutes and thats all it took to get it warm. I supposed if I left it for hours at 6 it would feel quite warm. I don't think its a big deal.

The top of the oven is meant to be a plate-warmer, so not super well insulated. It gets hot. You're supposed to allow clearance around the oven (for the sake of it's electronics and ability to dump heat, the heat has to go somewhere, and this is true of all electronics. The sides or underneath do not get too hot.If you asking if it holds temperature well, it does that better than just about any countertop oven I've ever seen. You can cook pies or roast a chicken in it, perfectly. And it's fine on any counter or under a cabinet.

We have not had that issue....I always warm the oven on the #1 setting. After the light goes off and the unit warms for roughly 10 minutes, I then turn the knob to #2 just before cooking a pizza. We had some issues the first time we used it and the pizza wasn't perfect but once we figured out our system, it has been perfect ever since. We just started pre-making pizzas when we are having people over and only cooking them half way earlier in the day and then finishing the cooking when we are ready to serve. They turn out great and you don't have the mess of preparation while you have guests. (Unless its a pizza party and some of the fun is having everyone prepare their own)

There's a fan that blows hot air out from behind the center burner when the oven is on. The fan is only on when the oven is on. So yeah, seems like you're going to have the same problem.

Yes, mine gets fairly warm to the touch. It hasn't caused any issues yet but I have only had it about 6 months.

It gets warm to hot just in front of stove, particularly when the fan is off. Above and behind it not so much.

It gets warm but not hot. I have pushed it back(out of the way) on the counter shortly after use and it was definitely not too hot to touch.
