How to Remove the Screen on a GE JVM1650CH Microwave

The General Electric JVM1650CH is an over-the-range microwave, which includes a hood and surface illumination light on the underside of the unit. The JVM1650CH has a control panel on the right-side of the oven that houses an information screen. The screen displays the time of day when the oven is not in use and displays cooking settings as well as remaining cook-time when the oven is in use. If the screen malfunctions, you may not be able to read the messages displayed, at which point you must remove the control panel, which houses the screen, and either replace it or send it in for repair.
