I have an opening in a cabinet 27" w by 16" h. What is the size of your cabinet box? Your install looked very simple just wondering how it will work for me. When researching there is no mention of the height of the cabinet box.
the opening is 27"x16 3/4" The depth is 16 3/4" however this was a tight fit for my microwave and I had to use a special inset wall plug to get it flush.
Great video, thank you! Any suggestion for what to do with a cabinet opening that is slightly too small (e.g., max 23.5" between bracket centers, as opposed to the 24.5" on the frame)?
I just purchased a counter top Panasonic Microwave Oven, Model NN-SN67HS As I was about to install it, I noticed 2 plastic hooks in the back of the oven. These hooks do not seem necessary to the functioning of the oven, but they do not come off easily. There is no mention of this in the installation section of the instruction manual. The oven you installed had them too, but you did not mention what to do with them Should I just pry them off with something like a flat screw driver? Or do they need to stay there? That would increase the depth of the oven significantly, and may make it unusable for the space I have.
Did you simply set the microwave on top of those footers you had screwed down? Or do the feet rest in indentations? or Snap in? PS. Great video. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Our built in oven shuts down when used because of overheating we did the same procedure as yours in the installation how to deal with this please help thanks
I have an NN-SN790S model that needs to be replaced. I am not sure of the model # of the existing trim kit. I am thinking of buying an NN-SE795S or an NN-ST77LS but the depth of these models is slightly than the existing model. Width and height are the same. Will the existing trim kit that I have work withe these new models?
"slightly less than the existing model". Also when referencing the trim kit size, is this the outside width of the outside panel, the inside of the cabinet opening or of the microwave itself?
The inside has it's own offset size. I can't recall what it was I would need to pull up the plans for the cabinet. I think I based it off the instructions that came with the trim kit
Honestly we are having trouble determining the size of microwave to purchase for a 24” wide & 15” deep upper cabinet. I would also like a trim and not sure what size trim is needed for a 24” wide cabinet. Lastly, I need a black stainless steel microwave and trim. Can you please help me?
Please advise: What are the finished dimension the trim kit in this video? My cabinet opening is 27” W x 20” H. How would a 1cu ft microwave fit with dimensions of 20’W x 11 7/8” H?
Great video! Thank you. How deep is your cabinet? My cabinet is 19.5 inches deep. Website says it should be 21 inches. Wondering if there is any wiggle room.
The information they had wasn't that good. but here is the link to their PDF eng-ca.faq.panasonic.com/euf/assets/PDFs/Microwaves/NNTK621_F03139Y02AP_ENG.pdf
it looks like the flashing installs right over the ventilation holes at the side of this particular microwave model in the video. Is that a problem? Fire hazard? Moisture build up?
I wouldn't follow the spacer advice. The 3/4 spacer block is specific to his cut-out dimensions. You need to make your own measurements. If you make your cut-outs the same as the instructions, you do not need the spacer block. If your dimensions are not exactly as the manual, and not exactly as this you-tuber, you need to figure out your own spacer.
It's just the way you phrased it... "I did some calculations, and all you're going to need is a 3/4 inch spacer..." That implies all of us, the viewers.
Thank you. This was so helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video very helpful. You could do one new video and show how to remove a built in microwave 😊
Noted! thank you.

I am not sure either they may have to do with keeping space in the back for evaluation but not 100% sure
What happens if you need to replace microwave and cant get same size
I did think of that and I tried staying with the standard size
Did you simply set the microwave on top of those footers you had screwed down? Or do the feet rest in indentations? or Snap in? PS. Great video. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
you set them on the footers...they have an indention so you know exactly where it sits.
Our built in oven shuts down when used because of overheating we did the same procedure as yours in the installation how to deal with this please help thanks
Sorry to hear that. I haven't ever had an issue with mine. It might be an issue with the oven.
Hi, What is the cut opening of the cabinet you have there? And what size trim kit you purchase for that opening?
The info for the trim kit and plans are in the description

How do you pull the trim off to replace microwave. Any tricks so I don’t bend or brake it.
It just pops on and off

The opening for the trim kit for the microwave that I used is 17"x15 5/16 and 17" deep I would recommend 18" deep if possible.

yes there is wiggle room. I can't recall exactly the depth but it was close to about 17-18"

Hi - I would need to replace my Panasonic microwave. How do I take it out, does the frame come off? And simple swap out of old to new?
if it is the same size you just pop off the trim kit and pull the microwave out.
Is a trim kit necessary or required to put this microwave in an open cabinet?
You need it for proper ventilation
Where do the brackets come from? Thanks
They came with the trim kit
Did you find specifications for installing inset PANASONIC microwave with trim kit on their website? Can you link me to it?
The information they had wasn't that good. but here is the link to their PDF eng-ca.faq.panasonic.com/euf/assets/PDFs/Microwaves/NNTK621_F03139Y02AP_ENG.pdf
@@HowYouCanMakeIt Thank you for the specs, isn't it frustrating that manufacturers don't include flush inset installation information!
I agree glad to help
Flashing on top?
yes
My vent appears to vent on top
the vent works with both top and bottom vents
it looks like the flashing installs right over the ventilation holes at the side of this particular microwave model in the video. Is that a problem? Fire hazard? Moisture build up?
Haven’t had any issues the trim kit was designed for this exact microwave
How to remove the trim without damaging ?
It just pops out with a flat head screwdriver
To do the reverse, how do I remove the trim frame? I need to replace the microwave
it is held in place by push clips...you should be able use a small flat head to fit between the crack and pop it off
@@HowYouCanMakeIt thanks a lot, it helped me to remove the trim frame!
glad to help 😁
@@HowYouCanMakeIt Where are the push clips?
They have them in the kit.

I always recommend double checking you dimensions. The spacer is for my plans and exact build.

I understand, that makes since.
