Kitchen Design/Remodeling - Microwave

Question
Can a space saver microwave be used directly on the counter like a regular microwave? We just moved and there's no where to mount it so we'd like to put it on the counter like a regular microwave but I want to make sure it would still work. Thanks so much.

Answer
Hi Kim,

Space saver microwaves are made to hang on a wall as you know I am sure. Setting on on a counter top to use, will effect the operation of the unit because the vent fan is on the bottom of the unit and this is needed to circulate air during cooking operations.

I wish you well,

Van
