The bottoms of the cabinets are barely 29-1/2 from the stovetop and the microwave is rather tall unit. From contributor I: I should say the bottom of the cabinet next to the micro/hood is 54off finished floor. The top of the microwave/hood should be approximately 69 off finished floor, or about 33 above cook top.
Long story short: To install an over-the-range microwave oven, you need to have enough space between wall cabinets flanking the range and between the cooktop and ceiling. There should be a cabinet or shelf above the spot where the microwave will be installed so that you can fasten the top of the microwave to it.Most OTR microwaves are just under 30 in. wide; heights vary from about 10 to 18 inches and depths vary from 12 to about 18 inches.t least one existing rule allows a minimum of 13 inches, but pro installers and others who know their way around kitchens argue that there should be 20 to 24 inches of clearance above the stove top. (A note from NH: I received a note on this height issue from a reader so some clarification is necessary.
