A:AnswerHi Anita, thanks for your question! Yes, this microwave can be installed over a gas range! We're finding that page 6 of this microwave's installation instructions provide the mounting space dimensions for this unit to be properly installed. The bottom of the above cabinets need to be at least 30" from the cooking surface. We'd recommend taking a look at the diagram mentioned on page 6 if you have any other questions about the mounting space needed for this model. We hope that this helps! Stay safe. -Michael
A:AnswerHello - Great question! This microwave's door cannot be reversed. We're so glad that you checked and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thanks so much for considering Café! -Mikayla@Cafe
A:AnswerHello - thank you for reaching out. The case color of this microwave (the sides, top, bottom, and body itself) is finished in Graphite Gray. We will be sure to pass your comments along to our small appliance design team for consideration with future models. Your insights are very valuable to us and we appreciate your candor. All the best, Kelsey@Café
A:AnswerHello - thanks for reaching out. This over-the-range microwave cannot be used on top of a counter, as it is designed to be installed above a cooktop, range, or counter. Perhaps this smart countertop microwave oven will work for you: model #CEB515P4NWM. It has similar cubic feet and, just like the over-the-range microwave, it also has a convection cooking feature. Additionally, the countertop model comes equipped with a WiFi Connect feature that allows you to control your oven with your smart device or simply your voice. We hope this help! Take care, Kelsey@Café

A:AnswerHi there, Krystal - Great question! This microwave is configured for external venting, however, it can be converted to recirculate. If you're installing the microwave to recirculate you will not need to create a new vent or ducting to the outside. Instructions for converting the unit to recirculate can be found on pages 12-15 in the Installation Instructions here: https://bit.ly/2JyWVaI Thanks for checking! -Mikayla
A:AnswerThis microwave above a range, above a wall oven, or even on a countertop. Be aware, though, that the sides of a microwave that is made to be "built in", are usually black metal, since the sides do not show when built-in. So, you would have to build your cabinet to hide that fact.
