I have now installed the Metod microwave cabinet on the wall.
Now I need a suitable built-in microwave, but not one from Ikea.
Would this one fit: Privileg 20 liters
                                                     H: 38.2cm (15 inches)
                                                     W: 59.4cm (23.4 inches)
                                                     D: 31.6cm (12.4 inches)

Or this one: Bauknecht 22 liters with 3D system
                                        H: 38.2cm (15 inches)
                                        W: 59.5cm (23.4 inches)
                                        D: 34.5cm (13.6 inches)

Or this one: Hanseatic with grill 20 liters
                                        H: 38.8cm (15.3 inches)
                                        W: 59.4cm (23.4 inches)
                                        D: 34.5cm (13.6 inches)

I would be very, very grateful for any help!

Best regards
Irina

Hello IKEA expert,

could you please take another look?
I have three appliances here that I think might fit.

Gorenje

1. It requires a 10cm (4 inch) ventilation gap at the back, so it won’t work.

That looks good if the information is complete, which unfortunately cannot always be assumed. To be sure, I would check with Bauknecht whether it needs ventilation at the back.

Hello IKEA expert,

thank you very much for the quick response.
If I saw out the rear wall and then there is 10 cm (4 inches) from the appliance to the wall, would that work?
Best regards, Irina

No, you need 10 cm (4 inches) of space behind the entire cabinet.

Okay, thanks for the response.
Otto doesn’t really know much about it and recommended this to me.
Exactly the same issue as with the dishwasher.
To be safe, I’ll send an email to Bauknecht.
Thanks to you.

Hello Skafritzi,
I bought the same cabinet from IKEA and am now looking for a suitable microwave. Have you found a good solution? Did it work out with Bauknecht?
