A:AnswerThis unit can be mounted above cabinets with a 30" minimum clearance from bottom of cabinet to cooking surface or countertop before installation. ^Daphane
A:AnswerI see no reason that this will not work in place of your GE over the range microwave. The width of these units is standardized. The depth and height vary a little but there should be no issues. We purchased the LG unit recently to replace a Samsung that developed problems. We find this LG microwave cooks faster than the Samsung. In fact, this LG cooks faster then our countertop Amana Radarange which up to now, has been our “gold standard”. I think you will like this LG.

A:AnswerIf the microwave is cooking, the vent fan turns on automatically if the sensors detect too much heat
from the cooktop. This is normal, and is designed to prevent microwave component damage. ^Daphane
A:AnswerThe over the range microwave is set for roof venting by default but it can be set to vent through the rear wall or recirculate back into the room. ^Daphane

A:AnswerTechnically Yes, but then your not able to use the cooking light and vent system that it’s designed for use over the stove. My strong suggestion is if you want a counter microwave than that’s what you should buy. Otherwise it’s like buying a pool for a birdbath.
