If you allow air in at the bottom, and with a curved/shaped smooth aluminum
deflector, direct the air out from the cavity, the convection air flow will
take
care of the rest.
Insulating it from the cabinet above, might be a good idea if that is where

keep your chocolates or antique LP record collection.
