Clarification
The final placement recommendation should be based on the user's physical abilities, which may require placement outside of the preferred 30" to 48" range.
Comment: When using the spacesaving microwave/hood combination that mounts directly over the cooktop or range, it will be necessary to increase the height to approx. 54".
