Q: QuestionIs this microwave compatible to be over a gas range?

Asked 1 year ago by chris66.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Convenience Cooking Controls - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer All of our current over-the-range microwaves, including convection, Advantium ovens, vent hoods, and telescopic downdraft vents can be installed over gas ranges and cooktops, with a combined surface burner BTU rating of approximately 65,000 BTUs or less. As long as the 66" minimum clearance from the floor to the top of the microwave is followed there will be no issues.

Q: QuestionI need to know where your microwaves are made

Asked 1 year ago by Lin.

• A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionI need to replace Model #JVM1540DM5BB. What microwave is the same size as that?

Asked 1 year ago by Nikki3342.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Convenience Cooking Controls - Black

• A:Answer All our 30” over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, so any of our current 30” over-the-range models will work as a replacement. We have multiple models that may be a good fit for you, including JVM6175DKBB. Please note that you should use the mounting bracket and hardware that comes with the new microwave, rather than trying to use an old bracket or hardware; the design can change over time and is model-specific, so we can’t speak to the compatibility and reliability if you use old hardware. Thank you for your loyalty to our brand!

Asked 1 year ago by Joe.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Convenience Cooking Controls - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer We appreciate your loyalty to our brand! We aren’t seeing an exact match for the model number you listed, but if JVM1540SN1SS is your model we can advise all our 30” over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width. As a result, any of our current 30” over-the-range models will work as a replacement. We have various models available, including PVM9215SKSS and PVM9179SRSS. We do not recommend using the same brackets; the new mounting bracket and other hardware that comes with the new microwave should be used, as the design of the hardware may be updated over time and we cannot guarantee the safety and reliability of using older hardware with your new model.
