in a cabinet? it probably needs some clearance. probably the clearance is oversized to err on the side of safety.

my over the range microwave has no clearance on both sides and probably very little clearance on the back and it works just fine.

Ditto, but my MW is open at the bottom (it hangs from the cabinet above), so maybe that is different from your situation.
