Hello. We appreciate the time you took to reach out to us about this microwave, and are happy to advise. Our over-the-range options have been tested and designed to handle the increased temperatures associated with being installed over the stove. This microwave is for countertop use, and can be converted to be built-in and/or hang under the cabinet (the built-in kit options are JX827SFSS or JX830SFSS and the undercabinet hanging kit is JXA019K). It's not intended to be installed over-the-range. We cannot recommend placing another type of microwave over the stove, as such a configuration has not been tested for safety and reliability. Regarding dimensions, our over-the-range microwaves generally have a width of approximately 30" (usually about 29 7/8"). The height and depth may vary a bit more but are usually around 16-17" in height and just under 16" in depth. Further details on any clearance the unit needs, and how far it should be from the range, would be in the installation instructions. We have many over-the-range options, including JVM7195SKSS and JVM6175YKFS. We hope this information is helpful, and are glad to assist with any other concerns or questions. All the best! -Sarah@GEA
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I did have mine installed over my stove. I don’t think this model is intended for over the range but it does work. You’ll need to purchase the optional hanging kit. Just make sure you leave enough room for venting purposes. I only had a 24” opening and 12” depth. This fit perfectly in my small space
