Yes, the Top will be Hot & for a long while. I would not recommend It.Unless U can somehow get an exhaust Fan in behind Blow exhaust out or up.

Probably, yes. It's also a lot smaller than a microwave. We have been very unhappy with this appliance, as it takes forever to toast anything.

This was not a good buy. Ou can get from Costco bigger size better price. The top always hot if the material is metal.

I wouldn't do that, this unit is to heavy for that. Appliance stores sell a microwave that does go over the oven, but you're talking over $500.00.We purchased a corner cabinet that this microwave fits into, and by doing this we got a nice looking cabinet with above and below storage. Hope this helped.

I am not sure about that. I have only used my on the stove top and placed it in the oven to stay warm. Sorry.

Basically they recommend the increased depth so that the microwave doesn't overheat. If it doesn't have space to breath it could get too hot. also, check out the parts included I.e. tray the microwave sits on... They may also be deeper than 16"

sorry for being so long in answering. Was out of town. The pot is all metal so I think it should be just fine. I hadn't thought of using in in the oven but will try it with onion soup. It is the perfect shape for that. Don't think I would do the top without contacting the manufacture. Hope this helps.

I used to have Panasonic convection oven in my motor home and needed to replace so I shopped to size so it will fit in the cabinet. I have on both side about 2 inches, at top 2 inches, and at back about 5 inches. When it is used it gets so hot so make sure install metal sheet in a inside box. I think if it is possible a fun at back to circulate air so there is no one spot to be extreme hot. Good luck!!!

The microwave was too heavy for me to lift out of the box and put it on the counter. You want to be sure you have enough counter space and room above the oven so you need the dimensions. Once the oven was out of the box and counter level I was able to move it about and lift it to clean under, but it is too heavy to lift and carry for me. I assume, Jim. that you're a guy and you might not have that problem.

The metal enclosure of the toaster oven does get hot when in use. You definitely would not want to leave anything made of paper or plastic on top of the toaster. That being said, the handle on the door does not heat up at all, and is perfectly safe to handle. As stated by other reviewers, the other benefit of the toaster is that it does not heat up the surrounding air (as a conventional oven often does). I have been using this toaster regularly for 2.5 years without ever being burned, and it is not something I fear. I have occasionally taken advantage of the heated top and used it as a warming pad by setting a metal or glass pan with food on top of it while it was in operation.

I would not recommend it, better yet, you should not do it!!! In your oven, the heat from the element under the bottom has to radiate freely upward. The lining would "insulate" it and would probably be destroyed, being heated too much.

If you use it as a convection oven, any type of cookware will do.... just remember that food does cook faster because of the circulating air.......If you use it as a microwave......Use microwave cookware and be careful not to use metal or cookware that has metallic paint.....you will have a fancy spark show! ceramics seem to work best! Hope this helps!

It is metal so no microwave. I think you could heat in the oven but I have never tried it. Good luck

It does get hot. You won't be able to have anything on top of it and need to have some space behind it. But the oven is great and I definitely recommend it!

Hi, I have my microwave on top. However I put a safe grip microfiber lining on it. To prevent microwave to slip.. it's a great item. Easy ro assemble following the instructions. .

Not really. Just remember to reduce cooking time by about 20% for regular oven times. Great to have the option to use as MW or convection oven - or both!

Yes! Remember, always cover your plate with a micro plate cover or paper towels. This will keep your food hot. I very pleased with this Microwave Oven.

Hi, there. We are remodeling our kitchen and I can't find anything. Interesting, this is my third one in 35 years and never put it in the microwave, always the oven. I'll get back to you when I find it. I know it would not fit in my smaller microwave.

The installation guide that is contained in the instruction manual reads: For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 8" of space above the microwave, 4" at the back, and 2" on each side of the unit. I hope that this helps you! Best, Steve Antrasian
