how high is the cabinet over your stove? If you don't have a cabinet over
your stove I doubt that you can install a MW over your stove because the
unit bolts both to the wall and to the underside of the cabinet over the
stove.

We just replaced our over-the-stove microwave, and the instructions say
that the top of the mounting plate (about the level of the top of the
appliance when it's installed) must be at least 30 inches above the
cooking surface. Our microwave is approx. 16 inches high, thus the
minimum clearance for *this* microwave is approx. 14 inches.
