A:AnswerThank you for asking and GE Appliances has never offered a self cleaning microwave. Most spills and splatters in the microwave clean up easily with a damp, soapy paper towel or sponge. It is best to clean soil as soon as it appears. Consult your Owner's Manual for information about cleaning your microwave. Hope this helps. Geoff@GEA
A:AnswerIt senses what the settings should be by what button you press telling it what is in the microwave (dinner plate, reheat, beverage, vegetable, popcorn, potato, pizza, defrost). My guess is it senses how much water vapor is being evaporated off the food to determine if it is cooked.

A:AnswerHi there - Thanks for reaching out, we've got you covered! A fan where the internal components are located will run continuously while the microwave is in operation to constantly circulate the air to cool the working parts. It's normal for the internal fan for the electronics to continue to run for a few seconds after the microwave cycle is complete, even if the door is opened. If the fan sounds like it's hitting against something, we suggest making use of the warranty by scheduling service. You can schedule an appointment by calling 1-800-432-2737 or on our website. We hope this helps! -Mikayla@GEA
A:AnswerHi there - Great question! The cardboard cover on the right top or side wall of the microwave interior is there by design. The cardboard (mica) covers the waveguide system that feeds microwave energy into the cavity and should not be removed. The microwave should not be used for any function if this cardboard cover is not in place. If removed, it would require service to replace. We're so glad you checked! -Mikayla@GEA
A:AnswerYou have to open the microwave door, close it and press a number, 1 for 1 minute, 2 for 2 minutes, or press time cook and enter the minutes of desired heating time
