Another: how close above cooker can you build?

I have a gap between 2 wall cupboards either side of the cooker, I'm thinking of putting either a shelf or a microwave (bracket) in there. Is there a guideline as to how far above the cooker these would have to be sited? Is the microwave going to have to go too high to use?

Thanks for your help.

This is what the following website has to say:

"Position extractors or cupboards a minimum distance of 750mm above hobs"

Regardless, it would be unsuitable for a microwave, which uses forced air flow for cooling the magentron (and case if it has oven and/or grilling elements), and isn't going to like drawing in warm gas fumes instead.

Good advice, as ever.
