Can I put a microwave oven on shelf of open fronted cupboard?

Options
Am about to have a new kitchen fitted but couldn't have an integral microwave because not having a tower unit. So, is there any reason why I could not position one on the bottom of an open fronted 'cupboard' which measures 1000w x 400h x 300d. There will be a topbox (1000 x 300 x 300) above this with 900h wall cupboards either side. TIA.

    It depends on the clearance required for that particular model.

    Thankyou. I am going to get a new one anyway, do they give that info with the spec of each model? Otherwise, how would I find it out please?

    Sometimes you have to make assumptions ,
    1000 W ?? mm :D cm :D inches :rotfl:

    But i'm guessing there is more than enough room

    Its written in the instructions that come with it.

    You can search the web for instructions to have a look at for free if you find the model you want to buy.

    You can often download manuals for a model before buying.
    Just google the model and the word "manual".
    Or go to the manufacturers website and search there.

    or see the "sticky" thread on manuals at the top of the "In my home" page.
