Product Manuals
Q: Is there a way to lower the brightness of the clock on the microwave display
A: I had the same issue. The display on my HB microwave was so bright it lit up the room! I tried to find a display adjustment, but it was nonexistent. So, I took a small piece of painters' tape and simply covered that panel. I can see what is says but it no longer blinds me by the light!
A: No, this unit does not have sensor cooking.
Q: Does this model vent through the top?
A: Hi Susan- The microwave is shipped from the factory to vent outdoors out the top (vertically), but can also be vented out the rear (horizontally) or recirculating (non-vent indoors). Recirculating Charcoal Filter JX81J is included for recirculating vent option. Check out the Installation Instructions online for complete details: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-40765.pdf - Thanks for considering GE. Keep in touch! SUE@GEA
Q: Does this microwave include a light underneath?
A: Hi UncleCrusty- Yes, the microwave is equipped with Halogen Cooktop Lighting (Bright/Night/Off) and 2-Speed, 300-CFM Exhaust Fan to remove smoke, steam and odors. Check out our double-oven ranges that allow you to cook two different dishes at two different temperatures at the same time- GE® 30" Free-Standing Electric Double Oven Convection Range JB860DJBB (JGB860DEJBB Gas). Thanks for choosing GE. Enjoy! SUE@GEA
A: Hi Rick- We certainly appreciate your loyalty! All 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening. Each microwave comes with the mounting hardware (mounting bracket, screws, exhaust adapter), top and rear templates, and installation instructions needed to make installation a simple process. This makes choosing a replacement microwave easy. NOTE: When replacing an over-the-range microwave, the mounting bracket included with the new microwave should be used since the mounting bracket is specific to each model. The new screws, bolts, and exhaust adapter should also be used. You can view the Installation Instruction online at this link: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-40765.pdf - Thanks for choosing our GE® Over-the-Range Microwave JVM6172SKSS.

Q: What GE microwave replaces JVM1750DP2WW Spacemaker
A: Hi Mark - Thanks for reaching out to us! We are sorry to hear your GE model JVM1750DP2WW needs replacing and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. JVM1750DP2WW has sensor cooking controls. We suggest GE® 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven Model #: JVM7195DKWW and GE® 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven Model #: JVM6175DKWW. All 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening. Therefore, any of our 30" over-the-range models will work as a replacement for an existing 30" over-the-range model. This makes choosing a replacement microwave easy. We certainly appreciate your loyalty! Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue
