Hi there, and thanks for reaching out with this great question! We certainly understand your concern over the control panel, and we’re glad to advise. This model is designed to be used over a range, so as long as it’s installed correctly with the right clearance between the cook top and the microwave, we do not anticipate any issues. When installed, the top of the microwave should be 30” above the cook top, and the mounting height should be at least 66” from the floor. If you’d like to review the information on installing, we do have our Installation Instructions as well as Quick Specs linked on the product page on our GE Appliances website; you can view that when you look up the model number. Please note that over-the-range microwaves shouldn’t be installed over any range or cooktop with a combined BTU greater than 60,000. We hope this is helpful, and we’re always available if you have any other questions or concerns. Best wishes! -Sarah@GEA
