Cabinet figures only. Manufacturers specify ventilation clearance per model, and doors can need more than the cabinet's width to open fully — both are in the model's manual.

Door hinge and warranty come from retailer listings, checked 28 Oct 2026.

Will it fit

The cabinet measures 1646 mm wide, 717 mm deep and 847 mm high in the Australian Government's energy-rating database. Enter the space it has to go in.

Not included. These are cabinet figures. Manufacturers state a ventilation clearance per model in the installation instructions; a figure typed into the Clearance box applies to both sides, the back and the top. For this model Westinghouse states 100 mm each side, 100 mm behind, 100 mm above in its dimension guide, read 21 Sept 2026, and the answer above allows for that until another figure is entered.
