# How to Remove a GE Built in Microwave Oven
GE manufactures a number of popular kitchen appliances, including their line of built-in, space-saving microwave ovens. The ovens are installed in brackets over your countertop or cooktop, saving valuable space. The brackets are screwed into the wall and kitchen cabinets, providing a sturdy holding place. The microwave is then secured to the cabinet above by two retaining screws. Removing a GE built-in microwave oven requires the use of an assistant. The ovens are heavy and removing one by yourself could result in an injury or accident.
