Does this model go with our model?
What is the steam cleaning and how does that work? Currently, own a GE profile model JVM1870SF001. We had it over 20 years with no problems. However itis starting to show rust issues around the door and inside. Thanks null

Yes, all 30" Over-the-Range Microwaves are approximately the same width and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening. Therefore, any of our current 30" Over-the-Range Microwave models will work as a replacement for an existing 30" Over-the-Range Microwave model.

Each Microwave comes with the mounting hardware (mounting bracket, screws, exhaust adapter), top and rear templates, and Installation Instructions needed to complete the installation process. 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.

The Steam Clean feature generates steam to re-hydrate dried spills and splatters, making it easier to clean the Microwave interior. To use this feature:

1.	Press the Steam Clean button.
2.	Put in the steam bowl (if one was included with your model) or a microwave safe bowl filled with 1/4 cup of water.
3.	Press the dial or Start/Pause button to start.
4.	After Steam Clean is done, remove the turntable and turntable support, then wipe out the inside of the oven cavity with a paper towel or soft cloth.
