I have been using countertop, well, toaster ovens for years. I just
replaced my old one with this.

According to the precautions and warnings it's to be 2" from the
nearest surface. It even has quards on the back so it can't accidently
be placed to close to the wall.
It's sitting atop my microwave where I had the toaster oven.

I'm going to enjoy this one. It's my first convection oven, not only
that but it defrosts and has a rotisserie.

Today I'll be making the Lousianna coffee cake that was posted earlier
and rotisserie-ing a couple of cornish game hens.

Yippiee, can't wait to try it out.
