A:AnswerYes, 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 clearance requirements for this unit are listed below:
-3" of clearance on both sides and the top
-1" clearance in the rear
-The front edge of the Microwave (measured at the door) should sit at least 3" or more back on the counter or shelf to avoid accidental tipping
A:AnswerHi Lillian! Thanks for reaching out. Models with the timed popcorn function, such as your microwave, are pre-programmed at the factory for a specific time to cook the average package of microwave popcorn. The pre-program includes an option for regular and for lite. The regular function will cook slightly longer than lite. - If the popcorn is slightly overdone or undercooked, the cooking time can be adjusted up or down by twenty seconds. - Touch the Popcorn pad and then the "9" to add twenty seconds or touch the Popcorn pad and "1" to subtract twenty seconds. - For both types, the bag should be at least three ounces for proper operation of the popcorn pad. Do not use the popcorn pad if you are popping the smaller bag (1.75-ounce). Use the Time Cook function instead, and follow the instructions on the bag for selecting the correct time. We hope this helps! All the best. -Michael@GEA

A:AnswerHi SouthernSenior- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Thanks for your interest! 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. Thanks for checking with us!
A:AnswerThe clock on this microwave will stay on and is continuously displayed. It will only temporarily disappear when the microwave is actively running a cook cycle or the kitchen timer.
A:AnswerThe motor shaft is rusting and having a hard time turning. That's what's making the noise. A band-aid fix is to put a drop or two of vegetable oil into the hole under the white triangular platter peg that you can lift out. It's only a matter of time until it gets so rusty that the motor will stop turning altogether. I tore mine down and removed the rust, but it's just going to be a repeating cycle until I finally get rid of the stupid thing. Hope this helps.
