WARNING!  
ARCING  
If you see arcing, press CLEAR/OFF and correct the problem.  
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. I Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or gold-  
Arcing is caused by:  
rimmed dishes, in the microwave.  
I Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.  
I Recycled paper towels containing small metal  
pieces being used in the microwave.  
I Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act  
like antennas).  
FOODS  
I When microwaving, place all foods and  
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.  
containers on the glass microwave turntable.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:  
— Do not overheat the liquid.  
— Stir the liquid both before and halfway through  
heating it.  
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.  
— 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.  
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.  
— Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or  
other utensil into the container.  
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 Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate  
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 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 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE  
Make sure to use suitable cookware during  
I Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap  
microwave cooking. 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.”  
can be used to cover dishes in order to retain  
moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to  
vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.  
I Cookware may become hot because of heat  
transferred from the heated food. Pot holders  
may be needed to handle the cookware.  
I Place food or microwavable container directly  
on the glass turntable to cook your food.  
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 Use of the black metal tray during microwave  
cooking will result in inferior cooking  
performance.  
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 1away 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 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 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 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  
them in strict compliance with the cookware  
manufacturer’s recommendations.  
1
I Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers.  
Do not microwave empty containers.  
I
Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in  
microwave ovens. Check the package for  
proper use.  
2
Do not permit children to use plastic  
cookware without complete supervision.

GRILLING AND ROTISSERIE SAFETY  
I Use the black metal tray when grilling or using  
the rotisserie. Use the tray as a cooking pan when  
grilling or as a drip pan for the rotisserie food.  
I Use of the browner rack:  
— Place the dish directly on the rack.  
— Remove the rack from the oven when not in use.  
I Do not use the glass turntable when grilling or  
using the rotisserie.  
— Use pot holders or oven mitts when handling  
the rack. It may be hot.  
I Do not cover the black metal tray with metal foil.  
This will cause arcing in the oven.  
— Be sure that the rack is positioned properly  
inside the oven to prevent product damage.  
I Any non-metal, oven-safe dish can be used when  
grilling or when using the rotisserie in the oven.  
— Do not cover the rack or any part of the oven  
with metal foil. This will cause overheating of  
the oven.  
I Place food, oven-safe cookware or the browner  
rack directly on the black metal tray when grilling.  
I During and after use, do not touch, or let  
clothing, pot holders or other flammable  
materials contact the top heating element or  
guard. These surfaces may be hot enough  
to burn even though they are dark in color.  
Allow sufficient time for cooling first.  
I The oven and door will get hot when grilling or  
using the rotisserie.  
I Cookware will become hot when grilling or using  
the rotisserie. Pot holders or oven mitts will be  
needed to handle the cookware.  
I Do not use paper towels or coverings, containers  
or cooking/roasting bags made of foil or other  
reflective material, plastic, wax or paper when  
grilling or using the rotisserie.  
I Remove cookware completely from the oven  
before turning food.  
NOTE: A rotisserie safety feature prevents the use  
of other cooking functions while the rotisserie spit rod  
is in place.  
I Do not place food directly against the top or  
bottom heating elements.  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING:  
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.  
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.  
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.  
(See EXTENSION CORDS section.)  
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.  
ADAPTER PLUGS  
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected infrequently.  
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,  
we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However,  
if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a  
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded  
2-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter which  
is available at most local hardware stores.  
(Adapter plugs not  
permitted in Canada)  
Align large  
prongs/slots  
Ensure proper ground  
and firm connection  
before use.  
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.  
TEMPORARY  
METHOD  
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.

Changing the Microwave Power Level  
The power level may be entered or  
changed after entering the time for  
Micro Cook or Express.  
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 MICRO or EXPRESS.  
1
For Micro Cook, turn the dial to set the  
cook time and press the dial to enter.  
2
Press POWER.  
3
Here are some examples of uses for various  
power levels:  
Turn the dial to set the power level  
and press the dial to enter.  
4
High 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling  
liquids.  
Press the dial or START to begin  
cooking.  
5
Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and  
poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.  
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.  
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.

Time Defrost  
Allows you to defrost for a selected length  
of time. See the Defrosting Guide for  
suggested times. (Auto Defrost explained  
in the About the convenience microwave  
features section.)  
Defrosting Tips  
I
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.  
Make sure the turntable support and glass  
turntable are in place when microwaving.  
I 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.  
Press DEFROST.  
1
Turn the dial to TIME and press the dial  
to enter.  
2
I Foods that spoil easily should not be  
allowed to sit out for more than one hour  
after defrosting. Room temperature  
Turn the dial to enter defrosting time  
and press the dial to enter.

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.  
ge.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, Heating Elements, 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.  
The heating elements cannot be removed.  
Glass Microwave Turntable, Black Metal Tray and Turntable Support  
To prevent breakage, allow the glass microwave turntable and black metal tray to cool  
completely before cleaning. Wash carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher.  
A soap-filled scouring pad can also be used to clean the black metal tray. Do not use  
abrasives, as they may damage the finish.  
Browner Rack  
Clean with mild soap and water or in the dishwasher. Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven.  
Rotisserie Spit Rod and Forks  
Clean with mild soap and water. Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven.  
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.  
Stainless Steel (on some models)  
Do not use a steel-wood pad; it will scratch the surface.  
To clean the stainless steel surface, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable  
for stainless steel surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry,  
23  
clean cloth. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.
