Hi Tucker,
The NX58F5500SS meets the same guidelines for heat output as many other Ranges, including Samsung's Electric Range models, such as 30" clearance between the cook top and the bottom of cabinets above it, and 18" minimum between the countertop and the adjacent cabinet bottom. If your current Over the Range Microwave and cook top meet standard building requirements, then replacing it with the NX58F550SS should, as well. The Range comes with a detailed Installation Guide you can refer to for confirmation.
Thank you for your interest,
Ms. Samsung
