A range or Cooktop should be strategically located in the kitchen with counter space on both the left and right of the appliance. Pots and pans handles should completely overhang onto the counter surface to avoid accidents or overheating of handles and utensils.

The placement of the microwave depends on many factors. How often it is used, do you cook meals in it, how large does it need to be? Most do not want to take up valuable counter space so there are may options. If your design is more open with shelveing you may opt for a drawer microwave in a base or island cabinet. If you’re in a small space you may opt to place it over the range (OTR) or if you have a pantry or wall oven it can be placed there. the way you live and use your kithcen will determine the best option and placement for your microwave.
