Hi Nancy- Thanks for viewing! No, over the range microwaves cannot be used 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. Do not install in a closed cabinet or cut-out space where the bottom is covered. See the following link MICROWAVE INSTALLATION AIR CLEARANCE - OVER-THE-RANGE MODELS: http://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=21670 - 
Check out the UL approved installation on page 7 of the Installation Instructions at this link: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-40529.PDF -  Check out our GE® 1.4 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven JES1460DSBB. Keep in touch! SUE@GEA
