A:AnswerIt has inside venting, but it is not set up like that from the factory. It is not hard to switch to inside venting and it has thorough directions to do so

A:AnswerThank you for asking this great question! The 30” refers to the distance between the top of the microwave to the surface of the cooktop. In other words, there should be 30” between the bottom of your cabinet and the cooktop. For more information, please refer to page 8 of your microwave’s “Installation Instructions”. We hope this helps and if you need any additional assistance, please reach out to us! All the best – Matthew@GEA
A:AnswerMine does the same thing. The fan comes on immediately upon hitting start and the word “vent” appears in the display every single time you use the microwave to cook. I am not using the stove top so there is no heat rising from the stove. This vent seems to be separate from the high low vent fan which I am able to turn on and off by hitting the fan button. The “vent” comes on every time you cook and there’s no way to turn it off. My prior microwave (Exact same model) did not do this.
A:AnswerThank you for asking this great question! Unfortunately, you cannot disable the vent fan. The vent fan comes on automatically to protect the microwave, as well as the cooking surface below. We hope this helps; kind regards – Matthew@GEA

A:AnswerHi - Thank you for reaching out to us and for your interest in a new GE Appliances over-the-range microwave. We do not offer a model with the door hinge on the right side. After checking several of our models, a minimum of 1/2"-3/4" is required for proper door clearance. We are glad you checked with us. Kind regards - Vikki@GEA
