Over-the-Range Microwaves, Advantiums & Hoods - Installed Above a Gas Range or Cooktop

All current Over-the-Range microwaves, Advantium ovens, and vent hoods, can be installed over gas ranges and cooktops* with a combined surface burner BTU rating of approximately 65,000 BTUs or less. As long as the 66" minimum clearance from the floor to the top of the microwave is followed there will be no performance or warranty problems.

Installing Over-the-Range Microwaves, Advantiums and Hoods Above a Gas Range or Cooktop

  • These products are not recommended for use above any range or cooktop that has a combined surface burner BTU rating over 65,000 BTUs. Combined surface burner rating does not include the oven/broiler BTUs.

    • Exception: If the cooking product is over 65,000 BTUs but does not specify that a high performance (high CFM) hood needs to be installed, then you can proceed with the vent of your choice.

  • Slide-out hoods require a minimum of 24" above the cooking surface.

Refer to the Installation Instructions for your gas range or cooktop for all installation requirements.
