I'm wanting to put it over my stove to replace my convection/microwave in motorhome, any concerns with heating up of the unit - ventilated?

i returned item as the thermostat was inconsistent.....it would burn food.......I own another combination microwave / convection that is great...I would not recommend the waring pro...

I'm extremely happy with this oven, however, in the instructions it states it should not be built in as it needs to be freestanding with air around it. It is amazing unit but don't install inside cupboard would be my advice.

The only thing that I would be concerned about is the size and weight of the unit. This is much larger than the microwave/convection in a motorhome. I have a motorhome equipped with the microwave/convection unit. This oven is much too large and heavy for that application.

Well I would not because it takes in fresh air from the rear of the unit with a filter. So in my opinion the unit would over heat if you set it flush, because it could not get fresh air.you could probably get by with moving it a few feet away from wall so as not to restrict air flow.

I really believe that its really NOT a issue........i's Only to protect the product maker......I have a MARINE 100 watts per channe AM / FM / USB l mounted in my JENSEN Marine Enclosure and have had it cranked UP with the ^Top Cover off and felt the radio and it was slightly warm......Hope that helps.......Its a Extremely Water Tight Enclosure and its mounted on my Motorcycle !

I have not used mine in a tent yet but I use it in my Motorhome and do not believe it would be a problem. I have 2 of them now and the unit itself does not get Hot.

Safe for or from what? The front of the unit is about two inches farther out than the cabinate facing aound and over it. When the cabinet doors above it are open it is possible for small items to fall into the vent from the cabinet. When the fan is on it vents onto the cabinet doors above so eventually it will deposit stuff on the doors. Other units with the vent facing outward will make those deposits eventually also, as heat rises. My unit is installed to vent through the roof so it does not blow onto the doors above. Yet no cover for the top vent was provided.

I don't know why not but I would not put it over a stove. I don't think it would stand the heat.

I don't have any heat issues with it but any electronics like this should have ample space for ventilation (I.e. don't cram it in a tight entertainment center)

That should not be too much of a problem. The top shroud should deflect direct heat way. Just dont put anything too close to it.

It needs to be ventilated. I have used it so far in my tent on propane and on 12 volt in my car while traveling. It does put out some heat as all refrigerators do. If I were to use it in my RV then I would leave some windows open or put it in my tow vehicle with windows open also.

If you already have a vent over the place where the microwave will be installed you won't need anything else.If this is a new installation, the "kit" might include the extra material to put in a vent.I installed my Whirlpool microwave by myself and didn't need a kit because the vent was already in place.

I put under stove exhaust fan while using. Assuming you have vented range hood.

No, we just ordered the microwave......but my installer did have to go to H.D to pick up some extra pieces to get it to vent right, so maybe it would be a good idea to purchase the install kit especially if you intend to vent it outside to roof.

Hello David, 1. Mine does not get hot to the extent that I could not touch it. I would say "warm". 2. It doesn't make a noise (except for the alarm when the battery goes below 11V). 3. Yes, it needs ventilation, so don't cover it up. It must be mounted upright. You could rig up one of those 12V muffin fans to help it. And hoover the vents from time to time. I haven't had any problems with mine in 3 years, it works 24/24 7/7. A good machine.cheersRalph

Robert, I have no problem with overheating. The ventilation holes seem adequate, but that's just for me. I hope this helps.

recommended only if the space behind the cabinet vents to some open space. otherwise, the cooler will overheat.

It will require some attention. It's not like a microwave. I have had food get a little burnt from too much heat and too little attention.

I have mine internally venting as we speak. The fan is quite powerful and has no problem gathering any smoke that develops. I've been using my microwave since this past Christmas and so far, i haven't had any problems. I'm sure, however, that something like burnt oil would be a problem. Fyi- it's very important to keep the filters clean.
