A:AnswerIt depends on whether you want microwave with convection (hot air circulation) of microwave with broiling (upper heating element). They're similar to the conventional oven. You can also read some recommendations of which methods to use for various cooking scenarios in the later section.
A:AnswerThere's a fan in the back of the unit to circulate the warmed air during the convection baking. The only heating coil is in the top of the unit.
A:AnswerI don't think so. I keep a small flashlight next to my microwave so I can see the buttons. Very poor design by G.E., but I really like the microwave.
A:AnswerIt only takes a minute or so. It’s faster than heating a large oven. There’s also a preheat override I think. I downloaded the manual and printed it out. I don’t have a toaster oven so I can’t answer that.
A:AnswerHello there, thank you for reaching out with this question. Metal cookware and foil can only be used in the convection bake, broil, and air fry cooking modes. It should not be used in any cooking modes that require the microwave heating element, as this could cause arching. A helpful chart with cookware types and cooking modes can be found on page 16 of the manual, linked here: https://files.bbystatic.com/ItQf0uQaEGVZc%2FfEFHLsxA%3D%3D/Owners%2BManual - We hope this helps! -Elliot@GEA

A:AnswerNo, this model is designed as a countertop model only. We do not recommend installing it in tight or enclosed spaces, such as a cabinet. It requires 3" of air clearance on both sides and the top, and 1" of clearance at the rear. The front edge of the microwave, measured at the door, should sit at least 3" or more back from the edge of the counter or shelf to help prevent accidental tipping.
