Why ventilation clearances matter
Every microwave manufacturer publishes required clearances — the minimum breathing room the unit needs around it for safe operation. Most people ignore them. The result: overheating, voided warranties, and microwaves returned because the door hits the wall.
A typical countertop microwave needs 3 inches on each side and 3 inches on top. That means a 20-inch-wide unit requires a 26-inch-wide opening. MicrowaveFit does this math for every model, every time.
