Question Oven and Microwave installation question

Hello Hello!
My first post here!

I have a kitchen cabinet from IKEA, and I have a whirpool electric oven and microwave to install.
It fits in, microwave no problem.
Oven also slides in fine, just have to connect te wires into the wall, but before, there comes a question:
Do I need anything for isolation between the Ikea white cabinet and the oven itself? Or just slide in, and let it run?
I was thinking the oven will get Hot. Really HOT. Will it damage the furniture? Will it catch on fire and burn down? Or is the oven and the Ikea furnitures are prepared for such high heat?

Anyone seen an installation before?
Did anyon used something for isolation between the oven and the cabinet itself?

Thanks,
Tibby

Re: Oven and Microwave installation question

Wall ovens are insulated to prevent too much heat from escaping through the oven walls into the cabinet. A vent in the front keeps the excess heat from building up also.

Do verify with the installation manual if additional top clearance apply; other than that, you're fine.
