A:AnswerHi NeeNee- This is Sue at GE Appliances. It's nice to hear from you! Thanks for making GE Appliances a part of your home. We certainly appreciate your loyalty. A trim kit consists of the trim frame, as well as an upper, lower, and rear duct that attaches to and encases the microwave inside the cabinet cut-out. It is important to only use the trim kit designed for that model. PEB7226DFBB is compatible with OPTIONAL 30" BUILT-IN TRIM KIT JX7230DFBB and OPTIONAL 27" BUILT-IN TRIM KIT JX7227DFBB. The only difference between the 27" and 30" trim kit is the width of the trim frame. If the microwave is installed over a 27" or 30" wall oven, be sure to match the trim kit width to the oven. We suggest to view the Quick Specs for details: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=240378_peb7226df_c2.pdf - Keep in touch. We love hearing from you!

A:AnswerHi measure2wicecut1nce- Thanks for viewing our Countertop Microwaves! PEM31SFSS is approximately 12 1/8" high x 24" wide x 12 7/8" deep. Microwaves need adequate air clearance on each side, the rear and the top to function properly. This allows good circulation for the intake and discharge air vents. We recommend 3" of clearance on both sides and the top and 1" clearance in the rear. The front edge of the microwave (measured at door) should sit at least 3" or more back on the countertop or shelf to avoid accidental tipping. If located on the counter near a range, we recommend locating it at least 2 feet away. Do not place near or above a heat source. Also, GE® 0.7 CU. FT. CAPACITY COUNTERTOP MICROWAVE OVEN JEM3072SHSS is approximately 10 1/8" high x 17 1/4" wide x 13" deep. Thanks for checking with us!

A:AnswerHello YC - Model PEM31SFSS did replace the older model PEM31SMSS. You will need to replace the trim kit as well. The new 27 inch wide trim kit for the updated model is part number JX827SFSS. - TS
A:AnswerHi JohnnyO, I am happy to help. The closest replacement is model PEM31DFWW. The actual dimensions are (HxWxD)
12 1/8 in x 24 in x 12 7/8 in, so if you have it just sitting in a space it will not work. If you have your current unit built in, you just need to use one of the optional kits that is compatible with the new model: JX827DFWW
JX830DFWW. Microwaves need adequate air clearance on each side, the rear and the top to function properly. This allows good circulation for the intake and discharge air vents.
Countertop Models:
3" of clearance on both sides and the top
1" clearance in the rear
The front edge of the microwave (measured at door) should sit at least 3" or more back on the counter or shelf to avoid accidental tipping. If you need something to simply sit in a cutout, view model JEM3072DHWW. Thank you for checking with us.

A:AnswerHello nate07 - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and we are happy to help you. The PEM31SF/EF is a current model. It replaced the PEM31SMSS, which has slightly different exterior dimensions. The good news is that the new trim kit has the same cabinet cutout requirements so you would not need to adjust your cabinet opening. Thanks for checking with us! We hope this helps!
A:AnswerHello - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and we are happy to help you. The PEM31SM3SS was replaced by the PEM31SFSS. You are correct that the exterior dimensions are slightly different. The good news is that the new trim kit has the same cabinet cutout requirements so you would not need to adjust your cabinet opening. Unfortunately, we no longer have the old model in stock so we would be unable to advise you if or where you could find same. Thanks for checking with us! We wish you the best!
A:AnswerHello Waldo - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and we are happy to help you. This microwave has a cooking wattage of 800 watts. We hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!
A:AnswerHello BurrowingOwl - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and we are happy to help you. The approximate exterior dimensions of this microwave are: 12-1/8" high x 24" wide x 12-7/8" deep. In addition, countertop microwaves require the following air clearances: 3 inches on each side; 3 inches on the top; 1 inch in the rear. In cabinet installation for countertop microwaves is not recommended without the use of a built in kit. Built in kits will be listed for specific models in their specifications. If a built in kit is not available, the above air clearances are necessary. Microwaves cannot be mounted over a range unless they are specifically made to be an over-the-range model, with a vent included. We hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!
A:AnswerHi Shane,
I am happy to help. This unit cannot be installed with a vent. The vent/microwaves hood are all 30 inches. You would have to build this microwave into the cabinet with a trim kit. I hope this helps. Thank you for checking with us. Lisa from GE Appliances.
