ᐅ Is it possible to install a microwave in a wall cabinet or not?

I have mounted two wall cabinets ME 343 (W60 x H40 x D38.8cm (W24 x H16 x D15 inches)) side by side on the wall. The extractor hood Utdrag is installed in the left cabinet, which also has power outlets. In the right cabinet, I want to integrate a microwave. I would like to use the BEJUBLAD in white, but unfortunately, it is too deep! As an alternative, I have now chosen the HUSHÅLLA in stainless steel.

But is that even possible? The dimensions should fit, but the installation instructions only show "taller" cabinets.

Is this a heat dissipation/ventilation issue, or is there another reason against it? Has anyone done this before?

It will probably come down to the solution with the built-in appliance behind the high-gloss door.

The microwave is actually used only rarely – just occasionally to warm up small items.
Since assembling the kitchen already took a lot of time and patience (uneven walls,
corners, etc. …), I’m not interested in fiddling around anymore. This way, the appearance won’t suffer and
the budget will be less strained as well.

Many thanks to everyone involved!

For this purpose, the Blum Aventos HL is better suited than the Utrusta flap hinge if it turns out that the flap extending into the room is bothersome or causes too many injuries to people’s heads.
