The microwave should be installed with 30 inches between the top of the microwave/hood combination and the top of the cooktop. Please feel free to let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you for using ManageMyLife.com.
In the case of a countertop microwave near a cooktop, the microwave should be far enough away from the range to avoid any danger of fire or heat damage to the microwave and also to keep the microwave away from any spatter from food cooking on the range.ight clearances, however, may make it difficult to use large pots on the cooktop. Dimensions of over-the-counter microwaves range from 14 to 30 inches wide, 12 to 16 inches deep and 10 to 17 inches high.
