ours is mounted to the bottom of the wooden cabinets above the stove top. There are two screws that go down through the cabinet and are threaded into the top of the microwave. There is also a long bracket about 20" long mounted on the wall horizontally behind the bottom of the microwave. The bracket holds the weight of the microwave while the person doing the install inserts the two screws on top. The venting is on the top at the rear of the microwave and butts up to the existing vent hole on the bottom of the cabinet. The installer then closes the gap between the microwave top and the bottom of the existing vent hole with thick foil tape. If you don't have a wooden cabinet above the stove top, I don't see how you would be able to hang the microwave. You cant place it on the counter because of the exhaust fan vents and light on the bottom. I suggest you talk to an appliance installer. I don't think the Geeks will do a custom installation. If your range hood is mounted to the bottom of the cabinets above the range then the microwave would replace it. Not sure what you mean by "install like a regular oven".
