We had a GE microwave installed above our stove. Looked like a
straightforward two person job. I believe you can download the directions
from the GE web site to see what is involved, where the vent should be, etc.
Some places code calls for a separate outlet for the microwave, ours is in
the cabinet above the microwave.

Hi,
We plan to install an over-the-hood microwave over our gas range by
replacing the existing hood. Can you give some tips/advice on how to do
it and what precautions to take regarding the gas/electric lines and
also compatibility of the vents?
Thanks.
