Question1) Does it need a cabinet above it? 2) My wall cabinets are 15" deep. Is it possible to bump the microwave out so it fits? How far out would it need to go? 3) I have exactly 30" space, with a cabinet to the left and a wall to the right. Will it fit? TIA!

QuestionWhy is the white over $150 more than the stainless models? Thanks
Asked 3 years ago by Ginny.
- Answer Hey there, Thank you so much for reaching out! Pricing of appliances is dependant on several factors such as distribution, warehousing, and marketing costs. Retail dealers establish their pricing structure, and appliance costs will vary between dealers. GE Appliances is unable to direct or become involved in any aspect of their business operation, including pricing. Hope this helps. Mike@Cafe

QuestionCan I convect a whole chicken in this unit? Or must I only cook it in pieces given the low clearance of the convection rack?
Asked 3 years ago by Gilbert.

QuestionWhen using the air drier can you put tin foil in the bottom of oven to catch any grease?
Asked 3 years ago by Thegreatone.
- Answer Hi there, While the air frying mode does not use microwave energy, we wouldn't recommend using foil as a way to capture any drippings. If possible, use broil safe cookware as a means to capture any loose grease or drippings. If you have any additional questions, let us know and we'll be glad to answer. Take care! Mike@Cafe

QuestionAre you able to replace old microwave with this model?
Asked 3 years ago by Momkom.
This question was asked about the related product: Café - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Convection Over-the-Range Microwave with Air Fry - Stainless Steel
- Answer Hey - 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

QuestionCan I install a microvisor underneath and can the protective lip under door be removed ?
Asked 3 years ago by vinnsam.
This question was asked about the related product: Café - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Convection Over-the-Range Microwave with Air Fry - Stainless Steel
- Answer Hi! 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

QuestionCan this be used in combination with a Cafe hood?
Asked 3 years ago by PIERCE12345.
- Answer Hey 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.

QuestionCan you use this as a countertop microwave?
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
This question was asked about the related product: Café - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Convection Over-the-Range Microwave with Air Fry - Stainless Steel
- Answer Hello. 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
