Installation Alternatives

Due to the molding on the bottom my existing cabinets, I am unable to do the hinging installation outlined in the instructions. Is it possible to simply mount / screw this microwave into the bottom of the cabinets above so that it is essentially "hanging?" I actually think this is how my currents mircrowave is mounted
