High enough so that when you're cooking with the stove, it doesn't heat up the bottom of the microwave. I'd say no less than 2' but 2.5' - 3' is probably better. Cover the bottom with plastic (even a place setting mat) to prevent moisture from getting inside it when you boil water on the stove.

I would check with the manufacturer of the stove or the microwave. Calling a fire or home inspector and asking them might be a safe bet as well.

a minimum of 18 inches is the basic rule some may vary
