Re: Microwave/range hood distance to range top. I just came from an inspection that had the installation manual on the countertop for the Kenmore microwave. The instructions stated a minimum distance of 30 from the stove top to the top of the microwave. When I measured it, the top was 30.5 above, which left a clearance of 14 between the bottom of the micro and the stove top. Seemed too close to me, but it met the manufacturers installation instructions.
