Can this be used without mounting above a stove? I prefer a microwave with a handle and the countertop units use a pushbutton to open the door. null

Question

Hello10 · Accepted Answer

Should be able to use on countertop but would not be visually appealing and would require a large space on the countertop.

Yes, it can be used without mounting above a stove.

I wouldn't recommend using a hanging microwave on a countertop. The venting won't work properly, the power cord is in the wrong location, etc.

Hubb · Answer

There are air intakes and alight on the bottom so probably not.

Hi- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Thanks for viewing our GE Microwaves! Over- the- range microwaves are not designed or approved to be installed on a counter or shelf. The underside is not flat and would not provide a stable surface. Additionally, there can be a heat issue, especially if the vent fan or surface lights were accidentally turned on. We currently do not offer a countertop microwave with a handle. Thanks for checking with us!
