This is true... I was shocked at how hot the thing was when I first got it. It now has about 6 inches of clearance above it and extra large venting in the back of the cabinet. It's still really, really hot.

My buddy in Wichita is on his third door glass in his ec. He always gets the "wasn't me!" when it happens. He told me the next one WILL be plexi.
