A:AnswerHi - Thanks for choosing GE and welcome to the family! The microwave requires a 120 volt, properly grounded branch circuit with a 3 prong grounding type receptacle, protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker. We suggest viewing page 5 of the Installation Guide at the following link: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-40733-1.pdf - Keep in touch!

A:AnswerHi GiGi - We certainly appreciate your loyalty! Model JES1072SHSS is 10 3/16"H x 17 5/16"W x 12 3/4"D and can be placed in a cabinet as long as you allow 3" of air clearance on both sides and the top and 1" clearance in the rear. Microwaves need adequate air clearance on each side, the rear and the top to function properly. This allows good circulation for the intake and discharge air vents. The comparable model is GE Profile™ 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven Model #:PEM31SFSS (Dimensions: 12 1/8H x 24W x 12 7/8D). This model is compatible with optional 27" Trim Kit JX827SFSS and 30" JX830SFSS for installation in a cabinet. We suggest viewing the Quick Specs at the following link for cabinet dimensions: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=PEM31SF_EF_BM_FM_R2_17.pdf - Thank you for making GE Appliances a part of your home!

A:AnswerHi Rosie - The microwave is manufactured globally. GE Appliances products are designed by GE Appliances engineers in the United States. Many are manufactured in the U.S. and others are made globally to our specifications. The country of origin is shown on the Model/Serial rating plate as well as the packaging. Manufacturing facilities (plant sites, where appliances are made) can and do change from time to time because GE Appliances continues to seek the most efficient manufacturing processes available. We make products all over the world for a Global marketplace. Therefore, your best source for manufacturing location is the packaging/product itself.

A:AnswerHi William - Thanks for considering GE! With proper use and care, you should not expect the interior coating to peel on your new GE microwave. We suggest viewing the following link - MICROWAVE CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=17377 - The cavity coating in GE microwave ovens is selected to be safely used as a food-contact surface and meets our and applicable government requirements for such use.
No lead or other toxic materials are added to the cavity coating material used in our microwave ovens.
The inadvertent ingestion of small amounts of peeling coating does not create a health risk. take a look at the following link: MICROWAVE - CAVITY REPAIR NEEDED DUE TO ARCING, CHIPPING, PEELING OR SCORCHING: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=16197 - Keep in touch!
