Q: QuestionHow do you get the control panel to aluminate

Asked 5 years ago by Buda.

• A:Answer The control panel does not have any illumination or backlighting. Also, there are no tactile indicators on the control panel to guide a sight-impaired person or, otherwise, a person with vision in a darkened room. You may need light from another source, such as the kitchen light, or perhaps a small flashlight to see and read the controls, if using this microwave in a darkened room. At the low price and other features and quality, I am happy with it, anyway.

Q: QuestionMy dinner plate is 10.5”. Will the 9.625” turntable rotate with this size of plate on it? I am trying to replace our 20 year old under-cabinet JE740GW. Unfortunately it seems the GE options are either much wider or smaller/more narrow.

Asked 7 years ago by Karabunga.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 0.7 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave with Convenience Cooking Controls - Black on Black

• A:Answer Hi Karabunga - We certainly appreciate your loyalty. A 10.5" dinner plate will not rotate properly. It is important in a microwave to always keep at least a 1" clearance on all sides and at the top of the dish or utensil. GE Profile™ Series 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven PEM31FMDS has a 10.625" turntable. Keep in touch- Sue

Q: QuestionIs the width 17 5/16" with the door open at 90 degrees and 17" with the door closed? I want to put it in an 18" wide space with plenty of clearance for ventilation in the back and top, but solid walls on both sides of the unit.

Asked 7 years ago by Anna.

• A:Answer Your measurements are accurate. Mine is in a cupboard with an opening of 18 1/4" and it works well. My cupboard gets wider after the opening framework. But I think you would have about 3/8" on each side.

Q: QuestionWe have a ge microwave JEM 25GV 002. The clock no longer shows. I want to replace this unit but can't find it. What has taken it's place?

Asked 9 years ago by Jim.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 0.7 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave with Convenience Cooking Controls - Black on Black

• A:Answer Hello Jim - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and we are happy to help you. If your microwave is not built-in to the cabinet, then this JEM3072 is a great replacement model. However, if your microwave is built-in to the cabinet, then the JEM25GV002 used a trim kit that required a cabinet cutout of 15" high x 24-13/16" wide. The current replacement model would be the PEM31 as the approved trim kit requires a similar cutout dimension. We hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!

Q: QuestionDoes this have an end of cooking reminder?

Asked 9 years ago by irishh7.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 0.7 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave with Convenience Cooking Controls - Black on Black

• A:Answer Hi irishh7- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Thanks for your consideration! Yes, the Cooking Complete Reminder is a beep that occurs once every minute after the normal cooking cycle has ended. It is designed to remind you when the cooking time has completed. Begins 1 minute after the 'Cooking Complete Signal'. This is different from the 'Cooking Complete Signal' which is 4 beeps heard only once and directly at the end of the cooking cycle. To terminate 'cooking complete reminder', touch Clear/Off or open the door. Operates on the cycles that terminate automatically, such as Time Cook, Defrost, etc. All cooking functions which do not terminate automatically, such as Temperature cook/hold will not have a "Cooking Complete Reminder". Audible aid when recipes call for standing time after cooking- No need to set the kitchen timer. Just keep track of the beeps from the 'Cooking Complete Reminder'. (i.e.: after 5 beeps / 5 minutes have expired). Thanks for checking with us!
