• A:Answer The model we bought is designed for over-stove use, has lights and aluminum grease trap screens on bottom. I read that this microwave has a special attachment that allows one to not have to vent to outside, but I personally prefer not having to change charcoal attachment for that and like outside venting. Check out the Best Buy information further as that might give you better info. They also list the dimensions and have a photo. Hope this helps.

Q: QuestionHow big of a burner is this exhaust rated for? Will it handle a 21,000 btu burner?

Asked 6 years ago by Jack.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Convenience Cooking Controls - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer Hi Jack, Most range or cooktop models do not require a ventilation system or have a CFM requirement; however, we recommend checking the local residential codes in your area to see if one is required. All current OTR (over-the-range microwaves), including convection, Advantium ovens, vent hoods, and telescopic downdraft vents can be installed over gas cooking products with combined surface burner BTU rating of approximately 65,000 BTUs or less. As long as the 66" minimum clearance from the floor to the top of the microwave is followed there will be no performance or warranty problem. We hope that this helped! Thank you so much for your question. -Michael

Q: QuestionIs this an acceptable replacement for a 2003 Kenmore model 721.62644200?

Asked 6 years ago by JR80923.

• A:Answer We replaced a Kenmore Elite that we purchased in June 2011 with this model. It is only about half an inch taller than the Kenmore. The mounting holes for the upper cabinet will not be the same so you'll be drilling more holes. Be careful mounting the paper template under the upper cabinet because the holes have to be spot on or you won't be able to mount it properly. Also, the rear bracket has different hook and hole positions so you won't be able to use the Kenmore bracket.
