Hey Dick,

Extra space for mounting and breathability for the unit itself is why the manufacturer lists the cutout hole needing to be 22-7/16" wide x 15-3/16" tall. That being said if your cutout hole is smaller but can still fit the # HP99ZR (20-1/2" wide x 14-3/4" tall) you don't need to cut the hole larger. The included trim ring is 24" W x 16-1/4" T externally and 20-3/4" W x 12" T internally (see diagram) so it would cover the gap between the cabinet and microwave.
