A:AnswerHey - we're happy to inform you that all of our 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 current 30" Over-the-Range microwave models will work as a replacement for an existing 30" Over-the-Range microwave model. Please keep in mind that 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. -- We hope this answer was helpful, and please let us know if we can help with any other questions or concerns we can assist you with. Have a great one. - Pablo@Café
A:AnswerHi! Thanks for asking. We can only recommend that this unit be installed as it's written in the Installation Instructions. Therefore, we don't recommend installing a microvisor hood below this model. We also don't recommend removing any part of the microwave itself as we've not tested or approved the appliance without all needed parts intact. We do hope this helps. If you have other questions or concerns in the future, know that you're always free to reach out. Best wishes. -Michael@Cafe
A:AnswerHi - Thank you for reaching out to us and for your interest in this beautiful over-the-range Café microwave. Our over-the-range microwaves are not tested for sound level. When set to High, the CFM rating is 300. We do hope you choose this versatile convection microwave for your home. Kind regards - Vikki@Café
A:AnswerHey there, thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to say these units can't be installed on top of one another. If it helps though, you may like to know that this microwave has an automatic fan feature that works as a hood does to help exhaust hot air from your cooktop. We'd love to see you in our Cafe Appliances family, so let us know if you need anything else. - Guy@Cafe
A:AnswerHi! Thanks for asking. You are able to turn the surface light to High, Low, or Off. However, this model does have an Auto Night Light feature. More can be read about that feature on page 24 of your Use and Care manual, here: https://content.syndigo.com/asset/4c47b9ad-1f69-490c-920a-909560a4c7eb/original.pdf - Hope this is helpful! All the best. -Michael@Cafe
A:AnswerHello. We appreciate your interest in our microwave! This model was designed to be used over-the-range and cannot be used on a counter – as it’s meant to be hung, the underside isn’t flat and wouldn’t provide a stable surface. Also, a heat issue may result, especially if the surface lights or vent fan were accidentally turned on. We regret any inconvenience this may cause, and hope this clarifies the matter. If you have any other questions or concerns, we’re glad to help any time. Wishing you all the best! -Sarah@Café
A:AnswerHello there - we're glad to answer this great question! This model is a convection microwave oven with air fry, which means it has different features packed into this single unit. You can use this model as a "regular" microwave and quickly heat up food items. You can also use the convection feature for baked goods, and even combine it with the standard microwave technology for fast cooking. The air fry function will allow you to make your favorite fried foods a lot healthier since you're not using oil. Hope this was helpful. Have a great day. - Pablo@Cafe
A:AnswerGood day,
While we certainly understand the appeal of being able to make delicious toast in your microwave, unfortunately this microwave does not have a toasting option. We do apologize for the inconvenience. Have a swell day! Mike@Cafe
A:AnswerHi! Thanks for asking. This is a 120 V model. More info about the electrical requirements can be seen in the installation instructions. Hope this is helpful! All the best. -Michael@Cafe
A:AnswerHello - Thank you for your interest in this beautiful Cafe microwave. This model does not have the WiFi connect capability. Thanks for checking. Please let us know if you need anything further. Olga@Cafe
A:AnswerThis model is designed to be installed over a range. We cannot advise installing the unit in any other configuration, as such a set up will not have been tested for safety and reliability. We can advise the microwave’s overall height is 16 5/16”. There should be 30” minimum from the cooktop surface to the top of the microwave once installed, so 13 11/16” should be between the bottom of the microwave and the cooking surface. For more information about the mounting space, you can view page 6 of the installation instructions; those instructions are available when you look up the model number on our Café Appliances website and go to the product’s page. As long as the installation instructions are followed, we would not expect there to be any issue with the unit's functioning. -Sarah@CaféAppliances
A:AnswerThis microwave fill fit a standard 30” space above your range. I personally have this model. I installed the kitchen aid version of it for a customer the other day and there’s no comparison. The cafe line is way superior!

A:AnswerHello- Thanks so much for checking with us. An Over-the-Range microwave can't be used on top a countertop. Please see the following statement and explanation: According to Underwriters Laboratories (UL), which approves appliance installations, you cannot use an over-the-range microwave on the counter or in a shelf. Besides not being approved for this installation, these microwaves don't have feet and are also often slanted (not level) on the bottom. Additionally, if the surface lights or vent fan were to be turned on accidentally, it could cause damage to the shelf or microwave. We hope this helps! If you have any questions in the future, please let us know. We are here to help! Joyce@GEA
