I was wondering if this unit would slide into the place of a built-in. works dimensionally and current venting is at the bottom of the built in

My unit works just fine in our built-in. This is the third convection we have had in this built-in unit since our remodel in 1988.

I believe there's a conversion kit you'd have to purchase, unless it is the exact configuration of the one you're replacing. This is the only microwave/convection that toasts and broils and bakes conventionally. I LOVE it.

I bought this unit to replace a built-in unit. It slid right into the same space; however, it is necessary to purchase the trim kit for this specific unit. Also check the deminsions carefully. This is a large oven.It is the best piece of equipment in my kitchen. I love it!

Yes, there is a "built-in trim kit" to use if you want it built in. maybe you can look up the information on installing it this way.
1344382
I would think so. We have it in a cabinet that encloses it. We haven't had a problem.

I replaced a built-in with this item. It is deeper than most microwaves, and a trim kit is available....had to cut cabinet. The microwave vents on the bottom and the convection vents at the top. Check Panasonic's specs for built-in.

No. There is a 3-1/2" dia. hub that projects about 3/8" beyond the back face of the vent. The 3" dia. pipe slips inside the hub to make the connection. A 3-1/2" hole through the wall sheeting or through the entire wall will make the vent connection work. Good luck.

In principle yes but it needs to be secured to the vent. In my installation I simply pushed it in place and I am not sure if there were any hardware in the package.

Hi Stella, Mike here. The unit is made for traditional windows, which slide up and down. Technically, they have vertical slides, so putting it in such a window should be pretty straightforward. When mounted in such a window there are usually gaps to either side that the a/c comes equipped to cover, usually with slide-out panels. However, if you mean that the opening the window makes is vertical, in which case it actually slides horizontally, the installation could still work but might require some adaptations. If you want the window open as little as possible, I suppose you could put the unit in vertically; I'm not aware of anything inherent to the unit itself that would make it unsuitable for vertical mounting. My recollection aside, a careful read of the installation instructions is definitely called for. In a window that slides horizontally, and makes a vertical opening, you might have to provide some support for the unit on the outside because it wouldn't have the window coming down on the top to hold it in place. The friction from the window and frame might be sufficient, but I kinda doubt it. By "some support" I'm thinking of something like an exterior shelf attached to wall studs, or perhaps some large "L" shaped brackets by themselves. With a vertical opening you'll also need to plug the big hole above the unit. Heavy cardboard, fiberboard, or a really heavy duty plastic trash bag, plus some duct tape could do for that, as long as the unit is otherwise mounted securely. If you want to get fancier, and sturdier/more permanent to boot, a sheet of 1/4" exterior-rated plywood, trimmed with a self-adhesive foam gasket, and possibly held in place by some brackets screwed on to the panel, could work as well. I hope I've understood your question correctly. If not, I'd be glad to try again with some clarification from you about the configuration of the window.

YES that is how I use it 2 vent my cat box area outside. I mounted it outside just beneath the soffit.

I would guess you would have to know the size of the opening in which you want to place it. I have 6 inches above the unit and it is placed in the corner so there is an open clearance behind it. I does get hot and needs to vent when you use the grill/convection features. I love the unit!!

There is a vent in the rear so I would't put it against the wall. I have 2 of these heaters and use both so their is a least a foot of clearance on all sides.

Yes... it is interchangeable. I think that out of the box the air inlet was already on the right. My unit is installed with the vent on the right... so obviously it will be okay for you.

It worked for me. The heat sink is facing the outside with the wires on the right hand side as you slide it in.Cheers,

This is mainly a Floor Duct Vent as far as I recall. you may need an actual Wall Vent. Good Luck.

Maybe. Call the factory and ask if you could return it if it doesn't work out.It "might" fit on the ledge. You "maybe could" extend the ledge a tiny bit with a piece of steel.Check on Youtube to see if they have something relevant. Last time I checked, there were 20 videos on YouTube.No idea on the cfm's, seems to heat up the whole room.

Yes. It SHOULD / must be vented outside to be effective. The unit contains everything needed to make a correct installation through an exterior (frame) wall. You supply the electric wiring.

Yes it will, but you can always return it you are not fully satisfied with the product. The reason why I like it so much is because it doesn't move once you put it on the vent and it has a radio button to make it tight or loose.

Would not function properly as heat would go up chimney and not into room as heat vent is at top of unit

You might be lucky enough to have a trailer where the manufacturer led a wire up to the vent area in anticipation of you wanting to put in a fan. If not, I would have to defer to a good RV shop. Good Luck!

Yes air should move enough and is quiet running. I would ensure vent in/out hole was there.

yes, it sounds like a defective unit, it shouldn't slide as you've described it. good luck.
