Product Manuals
A: Yes, this model has an interior light.
A: without measuring I would have to say they meant 3'3" and hit the decimal by accident. 39" would be much more accurate for what is hanging out the back of mine.
Q: What are the oven's inner dimensions?
A: The rotating plate is 13.5 in. The microwave itself is 14.5 in wide, 17in deep, and about 9in in height. The walls are wider in the middle than they are around the edges.
Q: Does it have a reminder beep?
A: It flashes “finish” on the display but will not make sounds after the initial beep when the heating cycle ends.
A: It might be tight but should fit, as the door when fully open adds a bit under 0.5 inches to the width.
A: According to the user guide, the Stew function button can be pressed repeatedly to cycle through the food types that can be cooked on this function. When I press the Stew function, only “Chicken” and “Curry” selections are available. I have never used this function, so I cannot speak to how it actually works.
Q: Does it have a timer? Can the timer be used at the same time you are heating/cooking something?
A: Yes, there is a timer. According to the user guide, the oven cannot be used for cooking while the timer is running. Have never tried it, but that just makes sense.
Q: How much space do you need for venting?
A: I put ours in a fairly small enclosed area and the right side is open and faces our sink. I am quite confident it is well vented. Our last unit lasted almost 20 years in that space. Like any other appliance, I would not completely box it in. It has to breathe a little.
