— This unit is suitable for use above gas or electric cooking equipment, 36" or less wide.
— Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
— Keep power cord away from heated surfaces.
— Do not let power cord hang over edge of table or counter.
— Do not immerse power cord or plug in water.
— Do not block or cover any openings on the appliance.
— Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water—for example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, near a sink or in similar location.
— Do not mount this appliance over a sink.

INSTALLATION

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE OVEN CAVITY

— Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven while cooking.
—Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic containers before placing them in the oven.
—Do not store any materials, other than our recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use. Microwave rack should be removed from oven when not in use.
—If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
—Do not operate the microwave without food in the oven.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BURNS

— Be careful when opening containers of hot food. Use pot holders and direct steam away from face and hands.
— Vent, pierce, or slit containers, pouches, or plastic bags to prevent build-up of pressure.
— Be careful when touching the turntable, door, or walls of the oven which may become hot during use.
- Liquids and certain foods heated in the microwave oven can present a risk of burn when removing them from the microwave. The potential for a burn is greater in young children, who should not be allowed to remove hot items from the microwave.

OPERATING AND CLEANING

— As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

— Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave surface when the microwave oven is in operation.

— 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

— Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving risk of electric shock.

— Do not use paper products in oven when appliance is operated in any cooking mode except microwave only.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

OPERATING AND CLEANING (Continued)

— Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed jars—are able to explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven.
— Do not cover any part of the microwave with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the microwave.
— 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.
— 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.in compliance with cookware manufacturers' recommendations.
— It is important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the microwave. Use only mild, nonabrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To prevent risk of electric shock, follow these instructions:

— Plug microwave into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
— Do not remove the ground prong or use an adapter.
— Do not use an extension cord.

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

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.

A short power-supply is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled or tripping over a longer cord. 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.

VENT FAN

The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions. 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 level is automatically set at 3, but can be changed. You can defrost small items quickly by raising the power level after entering the time. Power Level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about half; Power Level 10 cuts the total time to approximately 1/3. However, food will need more frequent attention than usual.

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 Auto 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.

    A["Power Level"] --> B["Turn to Select"]
    B --> C["Press to Enter"]
    C --> D["Start/Pause"]

The power level may be entered or changed immediately after entering the time for Cook Time or Time Defrost. The power level may also be changed during time countdown.

1 First, follow directions for Cook Time or Time Defrost.
2 Press the Power Level button.
3 Turn the dial clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease the power level. Press the dial to enter.
4 Press the Start/Pause button to start cooking.

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, heating 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.

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 Cook Time for additional cooking time.

NOTE: Sensor features will not operate when the oven is hot. If one of the sensor cooking buttons is pressed when the temperature inside the oven is greater than 200°F, "OVEN TOO HOT FOR SENSOR COOKING---USING ALTERNATE METHOD" will be displayed. The oven will automatically change to cook by time (follow the directions in the display) or once the oven is cool enough, the sensor features will function normally.

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

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.

Cook

Cook

Because most cooking containers must be covered during Cook, this feature is best with foods that you want to steam or retain moisture.

NOTE: Use of the metal shelf with Cook is not recommended.

A wide variety of foods including meats, fish and vegetables can be cooked using this feature.

Microwave terms.

ArcingArcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:Metal or foil touching the side of the 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.Plates or dishes with a metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen.
CoveringCovers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time.Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.
ShieldingIn 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 wingsand legs on poultry, which would cook before larger parts.
Standing TimeWhen 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.
VentingAfter covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.

How to Clean the Inside

Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on the Door

Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel; others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls.

Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your microwave.

GE Profile PVM9215DKBB - Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on the Door - 1

Removable Turntable and Turntable Support

To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable into water just after cooking. Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher. The turntable and support can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate the oven in the microwave mode without the turntable and support seated and in place.

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.

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.

GE Profile PVM9215DKBB - Vent Fan - 1

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

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.

Removing and Cleaning the Filters

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

Rinse, shake and let dry before replacing.

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.

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.

Replacement filters: WB02X11534

Charcoal Filter

Sales No. JX8H

Service No. WB02X10956

The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12 months, depending on usage). See “Optional Accessories,” page 9, for more information.

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.
