Hi Caitlin - Thanks for considering GE Over-the-Range Microwave Model JVM3160RFSS. This model uses a rear wall mounting bracket only and not a top cabinet mounting bracket. We suggest viewing the Quick Specs at the following link for dimensions: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=340169_jvm3160rf_c3.pdf - Also, take a look at pages 17 and 20 of the Installation Guide regarding the rear wall mounting bracket and top mounting screws: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-40675-4.PDF - Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com.

The microwave mounts to a bracket plate mounted to rear wall and then also attaches to bolts from the bottom of the overhead cabinet.
