• Hi Davie- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Thanks for viewing our GE Countertop Microwaves! Microwaves need adequate air clearance on each side, the rear and the top to function properly. This allows good circulation for the intake and discharge air vents. We recommend 3" of clearance on both sides and the top and 1" clearance in the rear. The front edge of the microwave (measured at door) should sit at least 3" or more back on the counter or shelf to avoid accidental tipping. Model JES1145SHSS is approximately 12"H x 20 5/16"W x 15 5/8"D. Thanks for checking with us!
