do you need a trim kit with this microwave?

Mine was installed with new cabinets, but it doesn't look like a trim kit was used. Please see my comments about the controls. I found them to be rather 'dim-witted' compared with my counter top GE unit. (I kept the older unit so I have been able to compare both side-by-side: The Sharp unit's controls do not provide the convenience or ease of the GE.)

No. We used the specs fro. Sharp to have th cabinet built, no trim required. Looks great. Plan carefully for the outlet.

You do not need the trim wheel, just assign one of the toggle switches on the yoke to act as and eclectic trim. There are plenty of them so you will still have lots of other options open to you with the rest of the switches.

No, in fact they want you to have open space around it. But don't buy it, it is the noisiest microwave I have eve owned...so disappointed!

Is your microwave/oven combo unit built into the wall? If so this is a perfect fit.

I bought a kit off Amazon that included everything I needed. It is pretty standard just check the manual online for specs. Mine worked great and was half the price of the stereo shop.

This trim kit is built specifically for the Frigidaire gallery series microwave. If your microwave is exactly the same size then it will work.

I saw a trim kit but realistically this model is pretty big so you would need a big space. I have seen smaller similar convection/mocrowave ovens you might want to use for above an oven

Don't know if they sell a mounting kit. We purchased a trim kit. It's kind of a frame for the microwave oven to look like its built into the cabinet.

Yes, this does come with the hardware packet and templates to mount the microwave.

I bought this unit to replace a built-in unit. It slid right into the same space; however, it is necessary to purchase the trim kit for this specific unit. Also check the deminsions carefully. This is a large oven.It is the best piece of equipment in my kitchen. I love it!

I believe there's a conversion kit you'd have to purchase, unless it is the exact configuration of the one you're replacing. This is the only microwave/convection that toasts and broils and bakes conventionally. I LOVE it.

We also purchased a new microwave and wanted to use the existing trim kit (to save $$$) and it worked GREAT!

Yes, mine is from the top of the oven to the opening is 2-1/4" and with the kit installed the space between the trim and the oven is 1-1/8".... What they don't tell you is in the Trim Kit is a base that the Microwave sits on and it lifts the Microwave a little as well, but holds it in place and at the correct set back.. When you install the outer Trim ring and center it on the Microwave it really looks great ....

Frigidaire does not list a trim kit as one of the possible parts or accessories for this model.

I believe you have to purchase the mounting kit separately. The mounting kit came with a paper template on where to drill holes in your cabinet. I had mounting kit from my previous microwave but the holes don't line up the same so I wasn't able to reuse. A handyman was able to retrofit a similar with parts from hardware store.

Be very careful when selecting a trim kit, they are very specific to the microwave you are installing it with. I had to order 3 before i got the right one.
