Q: QuestionCan you tell me if the stainless steel matches other SS appliances in color? It looks dark in photos. Also is the touch pad very sensitive like a phone or do you have to press hard to make selections. Thanks.

Asked 5 years ago by ThirdMicrowave.

• A:Answer It is as dark as the pictures show. The touch pad requires firm pressing to activate. I don't know if you can adjust the sensitivity. They no longer include hard copies of the manuals and the pdf's are a pain to read.

Q: QuestionI'm having my 30" Cafe Model CTS70DM2NS5 single wall oven installed this afternoon. Missa (in your review section) shows a picture of her Over- the-Range Cafe 30" Microwave mounted directly over her wall oven. I assume I can do the same thing.

Asked 3 years ago by BabyCakes.

• A:Answer Probably a little late but yes you can. You just needed enough space from the bottom of the microwave to the top of the stove.(can't remember exactly but 12 or 13 inches I believe)

Q: QuestionDo I need to cut a hole in the cabinet above for the exhaust or can it vent to the front?

Asked 4 years ago by VICTOR.

• A:Answer The blower housing is adjustable for three positions of the fan. Top exhaust, rear exhaust and recirculate. If you want it to recirculate you will rotate the fan housing before installing the microwave. No cabinet cutting is required for recirculate mode. The installation pdf's are available on line that will show more details. One note, the fan is louder than you would expect it to be for a microwave. Brace yourself.

Q: QuestionI am concerned about the touch pad. What if it does not light up? Are there any other buttons or options to use the microwave besides the touch pad? Any option to keep it turned on if it fails?

Asked 2 years ago by CJ.

• A:Answer Hi - Thank you for your interest in our stunning Café platinum glass over-the-range microwave. The microwave is operated using the touch controls. Whether the microwave will still be functional depends entirely on the type of failure that occurred as is the case with all electronic control products. The design and reliability of electronic controls in general have improved over the years and we believe this model would be a great addition to your home. All our best! Vikki@Café

Q: QuestionAbove my range is 36in, not 30. My current 30in microwave has 2 filler pieces to fill in the extra 3in on both sides. Are there matching filler pieces I can use for this microwave? My current stainless steel ones do not match

Asked 3 years ago by Paul.

• A:Answer Hey there, and thanks for contacting us! We know making sure the microwave fits your space is essential, and we’re glad to advise. While this model does have an optional compatible filler kit (under JX36BSS), that would have a stainless finish. At this time we don’t have a filler kit that would be an exact match for the platinum glass finish; we regret any inconvenience this may cause, and will certainly let our team know of your interest in a matching filler kit. If you do still choose to use a kit, please be sure to use the one compatible with your specific microwave, rather than an old one; those kits are generally model specific and may not work for a different model. We hope this information is helpful. We’re always happy to help if you have any other questions or concerns. Best wishes! -Sarah@Café

Q: QuestionWhat is the height of the unit? On the GE site, it lists it as 16-5/16 in & on other sites (Lowes, Best Buy, Home Depot) it lists it as 17-5/16 in. Also, how much space should I allow for between the grate of my gas stove and the bottom of the microwave?

Asked 3 years ago by Height.

• A:Answer Hi there - We appreciate you reaching out to us. The overall height of this over-the-range microwave is 16.125 inches. Over-the-range models must be installed 66" from the floor to the bottom of the cabinet that the microwave attaches to. This can also be measured as 30" from the cooktop to the bottom of the cabinet it attaches to. A diagram of the mounting space can be found on page 6 of the installation instructions (linked on our website). We hope this is insightful! If you need anything going forward, please connect with us again. All the best, Kelsey@Café

Q: QuestionI have a glass cook top. What is thee minimum height required from the bottom of the microwave to the cook top? Thanks. I live in New York State and I believe there is a code requirement.

Asked 3 years ago by Tom.

• A:Answer The distance from my countertop to base of unit is 19 & 3/4 inches. Essentially I could stack 2 units and have about 3 3/4” remaining (just to give an idea of how space I have under the microwave)
