This question was asked about the related product: GE - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave - Black

• A:Answer I had the same issue. The display on my HB microwave was so bright it lit up the room! I tried to find a display adjustment, but it was nonexistent. So, I took a small piece of painters' tape and simply covered that panel. I can see what is says but it no longer blinds me by the light!

Q: QuestionDoes this microwave have the same installation dimensions as the JVM7150m1ss (which is discontinued) or do i need to reset the brackets

Asked 8 years ago by rick.

• A:Answer Hi Rick- We certainly appreciate your loyalty! All 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width, and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening. Each microwave comes with the mounting hardware (mounting bracket, screws, exhaust adapter), top and rear templates, and installation instructions needed to make installation a simple process. This makes choosing a replacement microwave easy. NOTE: When replacing an over-the-range microwave, the mounting bracket included with the new microwave should be used since the mounting bracket is specific to each model. The new screws, bolts, and exhaust adapter should also be used.
