Can you install a microwave UNDER gas cook top and how much space between the 2 is necessary?

Answer

- Yes. A microwave can be installed under a gas cooktop.

_Space Between Microwave and Cooktop_

- The minimum recommended clearance between a microwave and a gas cooktop is 2 inches (5 cm). However, if the microwave has a fan that vents hot air, an additional 6 inches (15 cm) of clearance may be required to ensure adequate ventilation

For best results, check your microwave and gas cooktop user manuals for specific installation requirements and recommendations.
