Hi. The LG 2.1 cu. Ft. Smart Over-the-Range Microwave with ExtendaVent®2.0 & EasyClean®, Model # MVEL2137D, is designed for installation under your upper kitchen cabinet. The minimum installation clearance height before the microwave is installed is 30 ", and the minimum width between your upper kitchen cabinets is 30". It must be mounted against a flat, vertical wall, so it is supported by the wall. The wall should be constructed of a minimum of 2" x 4" wood studding and 3/8" thick drywall or plaster/lath. The 2 lag screws supporting the oven must be attached to a vertical, 2" x 4" wall stud, and the upper kitchen cabinet and rear wall structures that it must be attached to must support 150 lb. plus the weight of any items you place inside the oven or upper cabinet. All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air vents are covered during oven operation the oven may overheat. To prevent damage to the oven, a sensitive safety device detects overheating and automatically turns the oven off. The oven cannot be used until it has cooled sufficiently. Regrettably, we do not have enough information about the open space above your built-in oven, nor do we have instructions for installing this microwave oven other than those in the installation guide, so we cannot advise you if you can install it there...^Ivan.
