Hi Sal - Thanks for choosing GE Model JVM3160RFSS and welcome to the family! Over- the- range models must be installed 66" from the floor to the bottom of the cabinet that the microwave attaches to. This can also be measured as 30" from the cooktop to the bottom of the cabinet it attaches to. Take a look at the illustration on page 8 of the Installation Guide at this link: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-40675-4.PDF - We're glad to have you in the family. If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to ask, we are also happy to help at GEAppliances.com! Sue
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.GE states: Over the range microwaves require a minimum 66" mounting height from floor to top of the micro. The 66" from the floor dimension will allow approximately 13"-16" between the cooktop and the bottom front of the microwave. All current over the range microwaves can be installed over gas cooking products up to and including 5 burner stoves. As long as the 66" minimum from the floor to the top of the microwave is followed there will be no performance or warranty problem. This includes Advantium ovens and convection microwaves. Note: Over-the-range microwaves and Advantiums should not be installed above any range or cooktop that has a combined BTU rating over 60,000 BTUS, not including the oven/broiler BTUs. https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=21841
