Re: Microwave/range hood distance to range top. I just came from an inspection that had the installation manual on the countertop for the Kenmore microwave. The instructions stated a minimum distance of 30 from the stove top to the top of the microwave. When I measured it, the top was 30.5 above, which left a clearance of 14 between the bottom of the micro and the stove top. Seemed too close to me, but it met the manufacturers installation instructions.
1 In food processor fitted with chopping blade, puree avocado with garlic, lime juice, and herbs. 2  Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. 3  Stir in avocado puree and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Add the bell pepper, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, and scallions. 2. Peel and pit the avocados. Cut them into 1/4-inch dice and place in a small bowl. Add the lime juice and toss well (to prevent discoloration). Add the avocados to the other vegetables and toss with the Ranch Dressing. Before serving, season with salt and pepper.
