Since we did a supply run up to mum's on the weekend I got a chance to photograph the peeling plastic film on the buttons of her Panasonic. It's a bit hard to see in the photo since it's blurry due to the reflectivity of the plastic and/or crappy cellphone camera, but it's definitely not shipping-protection film.

 

 

 

 

This wear patterns also shows very effectively where, oh, about 100% of the functionality of the keypad that's used is: Setting the duration, and telling it to start. In other words the same as our dial microwave, but with a far more painful UI.

snnet:

 

It's probably why there's normally a vent void behind any cupboards above the microwave. 

 

[edit] Just a thought, usually there's approx 2x 16mm pieces of cabinetry on each side in addition [on each side of the oven] so you'd get an additional 32mm overall - bringing it a bit closer to that clearance on each side.

 

1x 16mm on the inner part of the oven space so it can be screwed back, and 1x 16mm for the outer ends of cabinetry to clean it up (where the oven is) and just the outer piece where the microwave is, so there is an additional 16mm of space where the microwave is

 

This doesn't satisfy the 75mm rule but there's plenty of ventilation up the back usually - though the oven space isn't usually completely tight around it, so a 600 wide oven might have a 620 gap.. I guess it all adds up more and more. If this was the case, it would satisfy the 75mm minimum needed on each side of a 500mm wide microwave... just 

 

(620 - 500 = 120; 120/2=60; 60+16=76mm each side)

 

Sorry, lots of edits, can't think right now!

 

I wouldn't be so sure of that:

 

 

 

 

That's our microwave with a 34cm turntable plate in a standard 600mm unit.
