Is this a unit that can be placed under a counter? I.e. does it require ventilation?

Ours is used in our wet bar under a counter. We did leave a small gap in the cabinetry around the unit and in the space behind to allow for ventilation but otherwise, no. It is completely built-in and has been fine for 6 months.

All the ventilation on this item comes out of the back, so it does require extra space to ventilate properly. You can only put it under a counter if you have at least 3" clearance in the back and 2" around each side.

yes, but it likes 6 inch clearance on back and sides and top...something under the counter and depth does NOT offer. We use it anyway but it does not chill as well and produces some serious heat!

It could be used under the counter if its a standard high counter top. But I wouldn't put it in an enclosed area, make sure it has ventilation.

No, not on an enclosed counter. The counter has to be an open counter to allow air flow around the fan on the bottom of the induction burner.

I did not have have a problem with placing it under my counter. Plenty of ventilation, I don't think it needs as much with it being a thermoelectric fridge. No condensation, no noise, no vibration or sound. As for the dimensions just measure, the manufacturer specs are spot on.

No you will need desperate ventilation. However remember you don't have the open flame heat like a gas stove so less ventaltion is needed just to remove smoke or orders. I just have a microwave above with vent and it is perfect!

I see no reason why you can't put the convection Oven under the counter as long as you have enough ventilation and follow the opening dimentions given by the company for installation. I would not recomend it though because you would have to bend over to access it. I have mine above the counter to give me more countertop space and no stooping.Kodo Kawamura

I personally would not put it in a space without a little air circulation. This unit is being used in a small alcove with approximately 4-6 inches clearance around and works really well. The air is forced out through the bottom front.

The fans are at the back and they're not super powerful; they tend to not hold the unit at temp unless you clean them regularly and they have good air flow. So I would suspect it would work poorly if put under a counter.

The only ventilation is the space in the back which you use for your cables with the cabinet door closed. There is ample space between the shelves. And ... you can leave the doors off the unit if you choose.

This unit is not meant to be used in an enclosed space. It vents through the full cap. However, I can't see why you couldn't just drill the correct size hole In the top and install a sending unit.

Yes, the unit has FAN ONLY option. Keep in mind that vents are facing upward.

Not really. Its not a problem that the tubes are exposed and they kind of look cool. You would need very good ventilation if you did place it in a cabinet as the unit warms up a bit

It fits under the counter (to store), but you probably don't want to use it there because of the heat/steam.

The unit is very quite. You can place it in an entertainment center just be sure that it is well ventilated.

I don't see why not, but air flow operates from the back so you would have to arrange venting from the cabinet or the unit would overheat.

It really depends on the amount of space you have available under the counter top. This unit is pretty large and needs to be mounted to the wall behind it, not from above. Its not particularly heavy on its own, but is pretty heavy with wine and glassware in place.
