It’s too complicated. There is no manual of directions included with purchase. You have to download 16 pages of directions. Recommend you buy a simpler microwave..

I have purchased 3 of the GE Profile PVM9179SRSS over-the-range(OTR) combination microwave and convection ovens. I own a number of leased properties, and these appliances are full of features, well built, easy to use, and include a very nice convection oven in addition to the microwave features. It's a marvelous combo to have in the kitchen! The convection oven allows one to use it just like a regular convection oven and this proves to be a worthwhile capability in the kitchen. It allows you to bake or roast with ease plus you have a feature filled microwave as well. During holiday time when oven space is at a premium, the convection oven permits you to have a 2nd oven, or a 3rd oven if you happen to have double ovens in your kitchen. Also, during times where you want to bake cookies or cakes, etc., and don't wish to use the larger oven, this OTR appliances makes it happen and with ease. The PVM9179SRSS has proven to be well built as well, looks great in the kitchen and it's easy to clean too. In addition, it is loaded with all kinds of useful features. For this reason, I am replacing any standard OTR microwave ovens with this awesome GE Profile PVM9179SRSS in my leased properties. I only choose top quality appliances for my leased homes because durability, features and reliability are paramount to my residents as well as to me. This appliance is a true winner and I highly recommend it to anyone. It may cost a bit more, but the convection oven and ruggedness for daily use makes it very cost effective for the long haul. Thank you GE! Please keep making this type of over-the-range combination convection oven with a microwave oven. It's a fantastic design.
