The recommended distance between an over-the-range microwave and the stovetop is typically 18 to 24 inches. This height ensures that there is adequate clearance for cooking and allows for proper ventilation. It's important to consult the specific installation guidelines provided by the microwave manufacturer, as requirements can vary.
