Hi rarbittef - This slide-in range is designed for easy installation in a standard 30" free-standing range space. GE slide-in ranges are guaranteed for an exact fit or GE Appliances will pay up to $300 toward modifications. Play Video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/nfrt61zqeho?rel=0 -  Make sure the wall covering, countertop, flooring and cabinets around the range can withstand
the heat (up to 200°F) generated by the range. For reference, check out the Installation Guide at the following link: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=31-11105-4.pdf - You might want to pair with an over-the-range microwave. Check out GE® 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven JVM6175SKSS. Two-speed, 300-CFM venting system removes smoke, steam and odors. Thanks for considering GE! Sue
