Panasonic 30" Stainless Steel Trim Kit for 2.2 cuft Stainless Steel Microwaves

The stainless steel trim really sets off the microwave nicely. It looks beautiful but it was expensive. At $159, it cost almost as much as the microwave itself. It's about an inch thick - not just a flat plate but rather has molded slots that give it a deep, rich appearance.

The kit also comes with a base to secure the microwave and ventilation duct work. Those open slots you see at the top and bottom of the trim are to keep the microwave electrical components cool. The duct work is mounted onto the microwave which is then secured to the base then the entire assembly slides into your cabinet. Alternatively, you can install the base in the cabinet before resting the microwave on it. The raised base allows for more breathing room below the microwave and it positions the unit so the oven protrudes just enough from your cabinet to mount flush with the trim. The finshed look is elegant and professional.

After having to return the first one sent to us because of a misdrilled hole, we installed this cover/trim kit in front of our Panasonic microwave with very little effort. It looks great!
