counter.  
I 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 use the oven for storage purposes. Do not leave  
paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the 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. If the door is opened, the fire may spread.  
Do not use Sensor Features twice in succession on the

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
FOODS  
I 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.  
I 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.  
I 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. Such use of the microwave  
oven could result in injury.  
I 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.  
I 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.  
I 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.  
I 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.  
I Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate  
I 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.  
and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.  
I 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.  
I 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.

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE  
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.”  
I Cookware may become hot because of heat  
transferred from the heated food. Pot holders  
may be needed to handle the cookware.  
I “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed  
plastic bags 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.  
I 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.  
I Use foil only as directed in this guide. TV dinners  
may be microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4  
high; remove the top foil cover and return the  
tray to the box. When using foil in the microwave  
oven, keep the foil at least 1 inch away from the  
sides of the oven.  
If the dish remains cool and only the water in  
the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.  
I If you use a meat thermometer while cooking,  
make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.  
I 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.  
I 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.  
I 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.  
Follow these guidelines:  
Use microwave-safe plastics only and use

manufacturer’s recommendations.  
Do not microwave empty containers.  
2
I Paper towels, waxed paper, and plastic wrap  
can be used to cover dishes in order to retain  
moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to  
vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.  
Do not permit children to use plastic  
cookware without complete supervision.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.  
WARNING  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove  
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.  
We do not recommend using 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.  
(See EXTENSION CORDS section.)  
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.  
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 INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
ADAPTER PLUGS  
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected infrequently.  
(Adapter plugs not  
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,  
permitted in Canada)  
we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.  
Align large  
However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes  
prongs/slots  
permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly  
grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter  
which is available at most local hardware stores.  
Ensure proper ground  
and firm connection  
before use.  
TEMPORARY  
METHOD  
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in  
the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of  
the power cord.  
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground  
the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded  
through the house wiring.  
You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly  
grounded.  
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this  
is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen,  
DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.  
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected frequently.  
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequent disconnection of the power cord places  
undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You should  
have the 2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician  
before using the appliance.  
EXTENSION CORDS  
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping  
over a longer cord.  
Extension cords may be used if you are careful in using them.  
If an extension cord is used—  
The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of  
the appliance;  
1
The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet;  
2
The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where  
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.  
3
If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower sound may vary when the  
microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.  
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

About changing the power level.  
GEAppliances.com  
The power level may be entered or  
changed before entering the time for  
Time Cook.  
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.  
Press TIME COOK. Press repeatedly to  
select desired power level 0 to HIGH  
1
.
Enter cooking time.  
2
3
Press START.  
Here are some examples of uses for various  
power levels:  
You can view the power level during  
cooking by pressing TIME COOK. 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 which gives you 100% power.  
High power level 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.  
High: 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.

warm areas with small pieces of foil. The  
oven will continue to defrost if you don’t  
open the door and turn the food.  
promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.  
I For more even defrosting of larger foods,  
such as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure  
large meats are completely defrosted  
before cooking.  
A dull thumping noise may be heard  
during defrosting. This is normal when  
oven is not operating at High power.  
I When defrosted, food should be cool  
but softened in all areas. If still slightly  
icy, return to the microwave oven very  
briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.

About the sensor features.  
GEAppliances.com  
Humidity Sensor  
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.  
IThe proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.  
Covered  
Vented  
IAlways 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.  
IBe 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.  
Dry off dishes so they don’t mislead  
the sensor.

Microwave terms.  
Term  
Definition  
Arcing  
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:  
I metal or foil touching the side of the oven.  
I foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).  
I metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.  
I recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.  
Covering  
Shielding  
Covers 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.  
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.

Care and cleaning of the microwave oven.  
GEAppliances.com  
Helpful Hints  
An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps  
the inside fresh.  
Unplug the cord before cleaning any part of this oven.  
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.  
To clean the surface of the door and the surface of the oven that come together upon  
closing, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents using a sponge or soft cloth.  
Rinse with a damp cloth and dry.  
Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your microwave oven.  
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 without the turntable and  
support in place.  
How to Clean the Outside  
Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the microwave oven. Ammonia or  
alcohol can damage the appearance of the microwave oven.  
Case  
Clean the outside of the microwave oven with a sudsy cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and  
then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.  
Control Panel and Door  
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 Surface  
It is important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the microwave oven.  
Use only mild, non-abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth.  
Rinse well.  
Power Cord  
If the cord becomes soiled, unplug and wash with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, sudsy  
water may be used, but be certain to rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before  
plugging cord into outlet.
