A:Answer Hi JLim - Thanks for considering GE! Model JES1460DSWW is intended for countertop use. It should not be placed near or over a heat source. If located on the counter near a range, we recommend locating it at least 2 ft. away. Also, these 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. Allow 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. We do not recommend installing them in tight spaces, like a cabinet. We suggest GE® 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Oven
JVM3160DFWW with Two-speed, 300-CFM venting system to remove smoke, steam and odors.
