- A: AnswerShort answer is yes. We have this installed in this way -- see attached picture. Make sure that the width of the cavity is no less than 22.5 inches (ours is 22.5 inches). When you open the door, it needs clearance to the left of the microwave. I was initially concerned about heat buildup to the point where I installed a little exhaust fan at the back of the cavity (exhausts out the side of the cabinet). The fan turns on when the temperature at the back is >100 F. It's never turned on, so in hindsight I wouldn't have done this as it it is not necessary.

- A: AnswerHi Tess- The microwave features Cooking Complete Reminder. The Cooking Complete Reminder is a beep that occurs once every minute after the normal cooking cycle has ended. It is designed to remind you when the cooking time has completed. Begins 1 minute after the 'Cooking Complete Signal' This is different from the 'Cooking Complete Signal' which is 4 beeps heard only once and directly at the end of the cooking cycle. To terminate 'cooking complete reminder', touch Clear/Off or open the door. This cannot be modified. Keep in touch! SUE@GEA

- A: AnswerDon't buy an LG for that pseudo 10-year warranty. It's purely a marketing gimmick. Our supposed 10-year magnetron went out at 6.5 months, while the full warranty was still in effect. We've been without our microwave for weeks. They drag their feet, promise and then fail to contact you, etc. until most people give up. And if you persist in the protracted process, in the end you must go out and buy another microwave yourself, and hope they reimburse you. Oh, and good luck trying to understand the people on the other end of the phone. As for the 10-year joke, there are all kinds of charges built in to that "warranty" to make it as expensive to repair as it is to buy a new microwave. LG customer service, despite all of their attentive and sympathetic-looking comments on negative reviews, STINKS.

Q: QuestionDoes the light go on when opening the door and when food is cooking?(5 answers)
A: AnswerYes, the light goes on when opening the door and when food is cooking. (It's not a super bright light, but it's definitely there!)Answered by HappyCustomer
Q: QuestionDoes the keypad light up?(1 answer)
A: AnswerThe control panel is NOT adequately back-lit. I pointed this out in my review. Although the unit works as expected, I don't recommend it due to the back-light problem. I have to turn up the kitchen lights to see the labeling on buttons that i don't regularly use.Answered by CarlG
- A: AnswerHi Lucy- This unit has a straight plug that will protrude from the outlet. Also, microwaves need adequate air clearance on each side, the rear and the top to function properly. This allows good circulation for the intake and discharge air vents. We recommend 3" of clearance on both sides and the top and 1" clearance in the rear. Also, the front edge of the microwave (measured at door) should sit at least 3" or more back on the counter or shelf to avoid accidental tipping.

Works and looks nice/ Foam packing is inadequate
I was replacing a built in microwave. I decided not to bother with the trim kit. It seems better to have it open for ventilation and just to get to it. My old one was prob close to 18ish years old. They made them taller back then so this one w/ same cubic feet is about 2 inches shorter and the trim kits would have required me to alter the woodwork. Anyway it is fine how it is. The thing is heavy enough it does not slide around when I push the button. So far I have made popcorn which it sensed and popped perfectly with no kernels left unpopped. Very impressive. I also heated some water and made a frozen meal, all perfect. The unit is pretty deep but not as deep as some 1.6 units. Also there is a bump out so it is not that depth all across and I had 21" to play with and had no issues with the cord at all. Finish only has stainless in the trim on the front. The top and sides are black which is fine with me as it's easier to keep clean. the stainless holds fingerprints but it's not hard to wipe off. buttons are not super easy to press but also not as bad as others. button to open it requires a minimum of effort and like I said none of that causes the microwave to slide back. Prob because it's pretty heavy. I'd say it weighs about 35-40lbs. One thing I will mention. GE could put more padding around this thing. It has Styrofoam on top and down the side a few inches and on the bottom up a few inches but nothing much in the middle front back or sides. Also the foam is hard foam and cracks/falls apart easily. The reason I mention this is that the first one was clearly dropped or something. There was a dent in the box. Anyway the front panel was broken off and the ring that makes it turn which is set in on the top of the foam was cracked. The second one was fine but I noticed when removing it from the box the foam cracked. They would do better to use better quality foam that fully covers the entire microwave. I went through chat on best buy to get the replacement. That part worked out fine they ordered me another no charge, but they never marked the first one as being returned. Then I asked for a little discount for my trouble they told me to come back when I got the new one and they would take care of me. When I did they reneged on that offer. Plus I noticed that the old one was not marked returned so it appeared I had two microwaves. So I showed them on the tracking that the old one was returned and they must have pressed the wrong button because now it says it's waiting for them to return it with a completely different ups tracking number. Its weird because Best Buy is the one that issued a pickup w/ UPS in the first place but somehow they never tagged the first correct tracking number to the order. The chat help was no help at all. They told me to ignore it but to me I could be held liable for the other one since it appeared I had never returned it. I did end up going to FB chat for Best Buy and that guy seemed like he was a little more on the ball and said he was going to contact someone to fix it. We will see how long that takes. In the meantime I made sure to save all the emails chats and paperwork.

Really nice microwave
I personally think GE microwaves are the simplest to operate and the controls just make sense. Has sensor cooking options including dinner plate, reheat, beverage, popcorn, etc which is nice especially for reheating. Has express cooking to start easily by 30 seconds or 1 minute through 6 minutes. The other thing that is really nice with this microwave is after it is done heating, if you don't take stuff out of the microwave it will beep every minute until you take it out. This is hugely helpful in case you are busy and forget you have something in the microwave, I love this GE feature. Nice glass turn table with a lip so if something boils out of the container it helps to keep it from going over the side of the turn table plate. Plenty of capacity, it'll actually fit more than a whole 12 inch frozen pizza in this thing. Overall I highly recommend this microwave.

Solid microwave oven; greta value!
We had a more expensive GE Cafe microwave in the exact same size, but with convection, that died. Never used the convection feature, and I was loathe to spend so much on a replacement. Instead we got this one. Significantly less expensive, and has the exact same microwave features. Actually runs cooler than the older one, too. And is slightly more powerful. Very pleased.
