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.
I just mounted a GE microwave with a vent and it told me to mount at a minimum of 21 above the stove top. Comment from contributor P: I am just into this very problem with a client. The above stove cabinet was ordered for a standard vent hood over an electric stove. They then decided on a gas range.all cabinets start at 54 above the finished floor. Most OTR microwave hood combos are 16 1/2 tall. If you are lining up with a standard 84 cabinet height then the cabinet above the microwave should be 13 1/2 tall. You can go higher up with a 12 high upper cabinet but should never go lower with a 15 high cabinet.
