Re: Microwave!

Nice microwave.One issue it is way to close to the stove top. Its supposed to be 30 inches from the stove top that looks like its less than 12 inches from the stove.

KrK you are correct on the clearances. The instillation instructions state minimum 30" width and minimum 30" from the cook surface to the bottom of the cabinet the unit is hung from. The bottom of my cabinet is 35" above the cook surface.

The cook surface of the stove is 3 feet from the floor, if the bottom of the microwave had to 30" above the cook surface, that would put the control panel for the unit about 6 feet off the floor.

I'm 6'3" and that would be a little bit high even for me....
