⚠ WARNING! ARCING

If you see arcing, press the CANCEL/OFF button and correct the problem.

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

■ The metal shelf not installed correctly so it touches the microwave wall.
■ Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
■ Turntable ring support not installed correctly.
■ Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

■ Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold-rimmed dishes, in the microwave.
■ Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.
■ Only use microwave shelf when reheating on more than one level. DO NOT store the oven shelf in the microwave. See operating instructions for Oven Shelf..

⚠ WARNING! FOOD

■ Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

■ Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

■ Operating the microwave with no food inside for more than a minute or two may cause damage to the oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat around the magnetron and can shorten the life of the oven.

- Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

SUPERHEATED WATER

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea, are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

— Do not overheat the liquid.

— Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

— Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

— After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

— Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

■ Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to boil more rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care and cleaning of the microwave oven section for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

■ Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding when warming formula. The container may feel cooler than the formula really is. Always test the formula before feeding the baby.

- Don't defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

■ Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face.

■ Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

■ Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE

Do not operate the oven in the microwave mode without the turntable and the turntable support seated and in place. The turntable must be unrestricted so it can rotate. Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving.”

If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this test: Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with 1 cup of water—set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave 30–45 seconds at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving.

If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.

■ Oversized food or oversized metal cookware should not be used in a microwave/convection oven because they increase the risk of electric shock and could cause a fire.

■ Sometimes the oven floor, turntable and walls can become too hot to touch. Be careful touching the floor, turntable and walls during and after cooking.

■ If you use a meat thermometer while microwaving, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

■ Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

■ Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.

How to test for a microwave-safe dish.

■ Use of the shelf accessory: - Remove the shelf from the oven when not in use. - Use pot holders when handling the shelf and cookware. They may be hot. - Be sure that the shelf is positioned properly inside the oven to prevent product damage. - Do not cover the shelf or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the microwave/convection oven.

■ Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.

■ Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

■ Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering while microwaving. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

■ Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.

- When microwaving "boilable" cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags, they should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE (cont.)

■ Use foil only as directed in this manual. When using foil in the microwave oven, keep the foil at least 1" away from the sides of the oven.
■ Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

1 Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer's recommendations.
2 Do not microwave empty containers.
3 Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.

WARNING!

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Technical illustration of a plug-in socket connected to an electrical outlet (no text or symbols present)

Ensure proper ground exists before use.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

THE VENT FAN

The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions (see Automatic Fan feature). Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.

■ Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow grease to build up on the microwave or the fan filters.
In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the microwave oven, smother a flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

■ Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filters.
■ When preparing flaming foods under the microwave, turn the fan on.
■ Never leave surface units beneath your microwave oven unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the microwave vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.

PACEMAKERS

Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. However, patients with pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.

Power Saver (Energy Saver) Feature (on some models)

Your GE microwave has an Power Saver (Energy Saver) feature. Many electronic appliances, including Microwaves, consume electric power while they are switched off or in a standby mode. Eliminating standby power can reduce your operating costs.

To ACTIVATE the Power Saver (Energy Saver) Feature—

1 Press the Power Saver button on the unit, and the unit will turn off. (Note: If utilizing this feature, the clock will not be displayed on the unit.)

To DEACTIVATE the Power Saver (Energy Saver) Feature —

1 Press the Power Saver button on the unit, and the unit will turn on. The display will read "On" If the unit has had power applied recently (within the last few days), the time will be remembered.
2 If prompted, enter the time of day.

NOTE: The time keeping device that keeps your clock running will need to be recharged every few days. It is recommended that once a week you should leave the unit powered on (do not use the Power Saver (Energy Saver) feature) for at least 24 hours. If you are prompted to enter a time when turning on from the Power Saver (Energy Saver) mode, you should have the unit powered on for at least 48 hours. When you first install your unit, you should leave it powered on for at least 48 hours.

Some features, such as the auto night light, will not function when you are in Power Saver (Energy Saver) mode.

NOTE: This microwave oven does not detect food in the oven if food was inserted while the unit was Off (Power Saver (Energy Saver) active or power loss). As a result, it will ask you to insert food again when Power Saver (Energy Saver) is deactivated or power is restored to the unit. If this occurs, just open and close the door to clear the message and the oven will be ready for cooking.

A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting. This is normal when oven is not operating at High power.

Defrosting Tips

■ Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package. Closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be partially uncovered.
■ Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
■ Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
■ For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as roasts, use Time Defrost. Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking.
■ When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.

Dry off dishes so they don't mislead the sensor.

Humidity Sensor

What happens when using the Sensor Features:

The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession on the same food portion—it may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked after the countdown, use Time Cook for additional cooking time.

The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.
- Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

Microwave terms.

Term Definition
Arcing Arcing is the microwave term of rsparks in the oven. Arcing is cause by:metal or foil touching the side of hte oven.foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.
Covering Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time.Venting plastic warp or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.
Shielding In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook before larger parts.
Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.
Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.

About the sensor microwave features.

Cook

Power Level

Start Pause

Changing the Power Level

The power level may be entered or changed after entering the time for Time Cook.

1 Press TIME COOK button once.
2 Enter cooking time.
3 Enter POWER LEVEL when prompted.
4 Press START.

Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven can be compared to the surface units on a range. Each power level gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the time. Power level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the time. Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time. Most cooking will be done on High (power level 10) which gives you 100% power. Power level 10 will cook faster but food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. A lower setting will cook more evenly and need less stirring or rotating of the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. Use a lower power level when cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.

Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off) give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat to the inside of the food. An example of this is shown with power level 3—the defrost cycle. If microwave energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food would cook before the inside was defrosted.

Here are some examples of uses for various power levels:

High 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.

Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.

Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and less tender cuts of meat.

Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces.

Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.

NOTE: You can also change the power level during many cooking modes by pressing the power level button entering a valid power level.

How to Clean the Outside

We recommend against using cleaners with ammonia or alcohol, as they can damage the appearance of the microwave oven. If you choose to use a common household cleaner, first apply the cleaner directly to a clean cloth, then wipe the soiled area.

Case

Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth. Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.

Control Panel

Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the control panel.

Door Panel

Before cleaning the front door panel, make sure you know what type of panel you have. Refer to the eighth digit of the model number. "S" is stainless steel, "L" is CleanSteel and "B", "W" or "C" are plastic colors.

Stainless Steel (on some models)

The stainless steel panel can be cleaned with Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth. Apply stainless cleaner carefully to avoid the surrounding plastic parts. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products containing chlorine on Stainless Steel finishes.

Plastic Color Panels

Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly.

Door Seal

It's important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the microwave. Use only mild, non-abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

Bottom

Clean off the grease and dust on the bottom often. Use a solution of warm water and detergent.

Shelf (on some models)

Only use microwave shelf when reheating on more than one level. DO NOT store the oven shelf in the microwave.

How to Use the Shelf When Microwaving:

- Make sure the shelf is positioned properly inside the microwave to prevent damage to the oven from arcing.

Reusable vent filters (on all models).

Vent Fan

The vent fan has two metal reusable vent filters.

Models that recirculate air back into the room also use a charcoal filter.

Reusable Vent Filters

The metal filters trap grease released by foods on the cooktop. They also prevent flames from foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the oven.

For this reason, the filters must always be in place when the hood is used. The vent filters should be cleaned once a month, or as needed

Line drawing of a kitchen appliance with a hand pressing down on the door panel (no text or symbols)

Removing and Cleaning the Filters

To remove, slide them to the rear using the tabs. Pull down and out.

To clean the vent filters, soak them and then swish around in hot water and detergent. Don't use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the metal. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt.

Rinse, shake and let dry before replacing.

To replace, slide the filters into the frame slots on the back of each opening. Press up and to the front to lock into place.

Charcoal Filter

The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. Order Part No. WB02X10956 from your GE supplier.

If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors.

The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12 months, depending on usage). See "Optional Kits," page 8, for more information.
