A:AnswerHey there,
Thank you so much for reaching out. If your Spacemaker model is a 30" model, then the vent holes will be in the same location. If your Spacemaker model is a 36" model, then please reach out to us on social media for further assistance. Have a wonderful day! Mike@GEA
A:AnswerHi there, and thanks for your interest in our microwave! This model comes with two racks, one round and one square. One rack is intended for use with the convection feature, and will help you achieve great results by allowing air to circulate around the food as it’s being prepared for even heat distribution. The other rack is a cooking rack that allows for multi-level cooking simultaneously, to allow you to prepare large quantities of food. More information on the racks and tips on how to use them are available in the manual; if you’d like to view that, you can do so on our GE Appliances website by looking up the model number and going to the product page. We hope this information is helpful! If you have any other questions or concerns, we’re always happy to help, here or over social media. Best wishes! -Sarah@GEA
A:AnswerHi there and thanks for reaching out about your new microwave. We’re sorry to hear the light is too bright and apologize for any inconvenience caused. There isn’t a way to dim the light. We appreciate you choosing GE Appliances and have forwarded your insight. Have a great day. -Gina@GEA
A:AnswerYes, all our current over-the-range microwaves, including this model, can be installed over gas ranges and cooktops as long as the combined surface burner BTU rating is approximately 65,000 BTU’s or less. If the 66" minimum clearance from the floor to the top of the microwave is followed there will be no performance or warranty issue.
A:AnswerHi - thanks for reaching out. This microwave does not have a toasting mode option. The air fry mode uses heating elements to rapidly raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. A fan circulates the heated air throughout the oven, over and around food. Air fry is not typically used to toast bread as it does not create the same results as a toast or broil element. We hope this is informative and please reach out anytime if you have any other questions. Take care. Lauren@GEAppliances
A:AnswerHello - The Reset Filter notification light on the control panel indicates when it is time to change the charcoal filter. The indicator does not detect when the charcoal filter is dirty. This is simply a timed function to remind you to change the filter. The charcoal filter should typically be changed every 6 to 12 months, when it is noticeably dirty or discolored or when the Reset Filter indicator light comes on. For help with changing the filter, please follow the instructions in the "Charcoal Filter" section on pg. 28 of the owner's manual. Thanks for being part of the GE Appliances family. Take care. -Don@GEAppliances
A:AnswerHey there,
We'll be glad to answer your question. The maximum baking temperature is 425 degrees. This microwave does not have a broiling feature, but the baking, roating, and air frying are good ways to brown foods. You can use metal sheets when using the bake or roasting modes. Let us know if you have any other questions. Mike@GEA
A:AnswerGood day,
This is a good question to ask! This microwave unit is only designed to be installed over a range. It cannot be installed as a built in unit. If you are looking for a built in unit, we recommend taking a look at model PEB7227DLBB. If you have any questions, please let us know. Best! Mike@GEA
A:AnswerHey there and thanks for this excellent question. Microwaves should be installed in a 12”-13” deep cabinet, but the Bump Out Kit is available if you have a cabinet deeper than that. The kit is needed to bump the microwave forward 3” so that it aligns properly. Please let us know if we can answer any additional questions. -Gina@GEA
A:AnswerThank you for reaching out to us! Yes, the overall depth of 17.25” includes the handle. If you have any additional questions, please know that you can always reach out to us! Kind regards – Matthew@GEA
A:AnswerHello, thank you for connecting with us. For this microwave to be installed under a 15" cabinet, it requires an additional installation kit JX15BUMPWW. Instructions for this can be found on page 6 of the installation guide. Please be sure to read over all the instructions before you begin installation to ensure you have all materials required. Reach back out to us with additional questions. We're wishing you all the best. -Kacie@GEA
A:AnswerHey there, and thanks so much for your interest in our microwaves! We’re glad to advise. If you’re referring to models PVM9179FRDS, PVM9179DRBB and PVM9179BRTS, those models are very similar and the main difference would simply be the finish/appearance. The ‘black slate’ is a low-glosse matte, metallic paint finish on steel, the ‘black’ finish is also painted over metal, while the ‘black stainless’ is a shiny finish that is applied and infused to stainless steel using a variety of tested application procedures. We hope this information is helpful. If you have additional questions or concerns, or wanted to ask more about a specific model, we’re always happy to help here or over social media. All the best! -Sarah@GEA
A:AnswerHello. We appreciate your interest in our microwave, and hate to hear there’s some confusion over the interior; we regret any inconvenience caused. We’re glad to clarify the interior for this particular model is stainless steel. If you have any other questions or concerns, we’re always glad to help – wishing you all the best! -Sarah@GEA
A:AnswerGood day,
We'll be happy to explain the difference. Model DRWW has an auto night light setting, air frying, and has some additional features such as Chef Connect. You can use out compare tool on our website for a full list of differences between the two models. We're here if you have any other questions. Thanks for choosing GE! Mike@GEA
A:AnswerIt is just a matter of plugging it in once the measuring is done and the brackets are in place. It is heavy so you need 2 people to lift it into place.
A:AnswerWe appreciate you considering GE Appliances for your home! We’re thrilled to let you know this can be installed under your cabinet as 13 inches is the maximum depth without an additional installation kit. Please let us know if we can be of additional assistance. -Gina@GEA
A:AnswerThe power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug and does not required hardwiring. Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is required to be replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle by a qualified electrician.
