QuestionAre you able to replace old microwave with this model?
Asked 3 years ago by Momkom.
- 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.
- 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. We'd love to see you in our Cafe Appliances family, so let us know if you need anything else. - Guy@Cafe

QuestionCan you use this as a countertop microwave?
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- 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

Questioncan you use the oven function separately from the microwave?
Asked 3 years ago by displayname123456.
- Answer Hello 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

QuestionHow many inches of clearance does this need underneath? I understand it can't be put in as a built in, and can't be enclosed below, but what if we leave it open and create minimum clearance below? What is that minimum amount of open space?
Asked 11 months ago by RaleighHomeOwner.
- Answer This 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

QuestionCan this be used as a countertop microwave?
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hello- 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
