A:AnswerOurs is setup to vent out the front. There is also the option to vent externally. There has been no heat buildup impacting our cabinet. We love this unit!
A:AnswerHi-this is Sue from GE Appliances. All GE microwaves have a varistor that protects the control system from powerline surges. There is no need to add an additional surge protector to the line unless you just prefer to do so, or unless the you live in an area where heavy thunderstorms and lightning are common. Thanks for checking with us!
A:AnswerHi cookin_dad-this is Sue from GE. Thanks for your interest! We are happy to help. Choose the Auto Cook feature. This sensor feature detects the increasing humidity released during cooking.

A:AnswerHi Maximus- This is Sue at GE Appliances. It's exciting to hear of your interest in our Profile Series Convection/Microwave! Baking or roasting uses a heating element to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 225°F to 425°F may be set. A fan gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich, moist interiors. Thanks for checking with us!
A:AnswerHello momInvestigator - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and I am happy to help you. This is a very nice over-the-range microwave. This microwave offers a vent exhaust of up to 300 CFM's. I hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!
A:AnswerI microwave a small bowl of water for a minute or two to get the humidity up and then use a dish cloth to wipe off the messes. I use a stainless steel cleaner such as BarKeepers Friend or Cameo Stainless steel cleaner to get the surface looking like new again. Lemon juice and baking soda is also good. I have had mine 10 years and cook absolutely everything in it and it still looks new inside except for the circular beige piece on the ceiling. I just wipe that the best I can.
A:AnswerHello marti - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and I am happy to help you. Yes, this over-the-range microwave can cook a frozen pizza using the convection feature. I hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!
A:AnswerHello Betsy - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and I am happy to help you. Because FastBake combines microwave and convection energy, metal cookware should not be used with the FastBake function. The Advantium uses less microwaving during the Speedcook function as it also cooks with light. I hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!
