QuestionHi, Can I start the microwave by pressing the 30-second button? The manual says "Starts the microwave in increments of 30 seconds." so I take that as a "yes" but want to confirm I don't have to press anything else. I can just add food and press 30 and go.
Asked 4 years ago by alslongbeach.

QuestionOccasionally the turntable moves in a jerky motion. It moves smoothly for a few seconds then slows down to almost a stop then moves faster and smoothly for a few more seconds and repeats this throughout the cooking cycle. Is this normal?
Asked 3 years ago by SnowBelle.
- Answer No. The turntable in my unit did that and then quit turning altogether. This happened the first few days after I brought it home. I took it back and got a replacement that works.

QuestionCan the internal light be replaced if it stops working? The owners manual indicates that the light can be turned on to view the items cooking. Is this correct or is it always on when cooking? Thanks!
Asked 4 years ago by LuLusMom.
- Answer Hello there - Great question! The interior light cannot be replaced. When the microwave is cooking the internal light will be on so you can see the food inside. All microwaves have a window in the door that has a mesh screen inside of it. This screen helps keep the microwaves inside the cavity, and is a necessary part of the microwave. You may find that the screen makes it difficult to see your food as it is cooking. We hope that this helps. Please let us know if any other questions come up. Thanks for checking! -Mikayla@GEA

QuestionDo I have to coat the unit with oil or the food with oil to air fry? Does the grease get on the insides and through the working holes inside? I am having trouble wrapping my mind around this two-function microwave oven.
Asked 4 years ago by Matilda.
- Answer Hi there, Thanks for reaching out, you've asked some great questions! Good news, you will not need to use oil when using air fry. Air Fry cooking uses heating elements to rapidly raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. A fan circulates the heated air throughout the oven, over and around food, producing foods with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking. The rack and crisper pan are required for good air circulation and even browning, and the stainless steel Crisper Pan included for use with Air Fry does have a non-stick coating. We hope this helps and we're here for you if you have any other questions! All the best. - Sharon@GEA
