As long as the opening is the right size I don't see why not.

Answer

I just installed it over the range but it can be installed under any cabinet and does not to be vented to the outside. 
But you are paying for the ventilation system which I am assuming you are not using.

Hey there, Carl. While we require that you use this LG - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Convection Over-the-Range Microwave MHEC1737F on top of the stove for the best possible experience, it is not meant to be used on a counter. We do have another LG microwave that you can buy through our LG website that is called LG Black Stainless Steel Series 2.0 cu. ft. NeoChef™ Countertop Microwave with Smart Inverter and EasyClean® LMC2075BD that can be used and is designed for a countertop. ~Anthony
