I Recycled paper towels containing small metal
pieces being used in the microwave.
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 Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may
tend to boil more rapidly than foods containing
less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the

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 1″ 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 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.
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 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.
I If you use a meat thermometer while cooking,
make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
I Use of the shelf accessory:
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.
— 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.
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.
— Do not cover the shelf or any part of the oven
with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the
microwave/convection oven.
Follow these guidelines:
I Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers.
Use microwave-safe plastics only and use
them in strict compliance with the cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations.
1
I
Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in
microwave ovens. Check the package for
proper use.
Do not microwave empty containers.
2
I Do not use paper products when the
microwave/convection oven is operated in the
convection or combination mode.
Do not permit children to use plastic
cookware without complete supervision.

GRILLING, CONVECTION & COMBINATION SAFETY
I Use the black metal tray when grilling,
convection or combination cooking. Use the tray
in the same way you would use a shallow baking
pan or baking tray. Place food, oven-safe
cookware or the rack directly on the black metal
tray when cooking.
I Use of the rack:
— For convection two level baking only.
— Place dish directly on the rack.
— Remove the rack from the oven when not in use.
— Use pot holders or oven mitts when handling
the rack. It may be hot.
I Use of the glass turntable when grilling,
convection or combination cooking will result
in inferior cooking performance.
— Be sure that the rack is positioned properly
inside the oven to prevent product damage.
I Do not cover the black metal tray with metal foil
in combination mode. This will cause arcing 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 Any non-metal, oven-safe dish can be used when
combination cooking in the oven. Any oven-safe
dish can be used when grilling or convection
cooking.
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,
convection or combination cooking.
I Cookware will become hot when grilling,
convection or combination cooking. Pot holders
or oven mitts will be needed to handle the
cookware.
I Remove cookware completely from the oven
before turning food.
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, convection or combination cooking.
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.

About changing the microwave power level.
The power level may be entered or
changed immediately after entering the
time for Time Cook, Combination, Time
Defrost or Express Cook. The power level
may also be changed during time
countdown.
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.
First, follow directions for Time Cook,
Time Defrost or Express Cook.
1
Here are some examples of uses for various
power levels:
Press the POWER/TEMP button.
2
Enter the desired power level 1–10.
High 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling
liquids.
3
Press the START/PAUSE button to start
cooking.

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
Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing
for stews and less tender cuts of meat.
Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate
sauces.
microwave energy 70% of the time.
Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening
butter.
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.

total defrosting time in about half; power
level 10 cuts the total time to approximately
1/3. However, food will need more
I 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.
I For more even defrosting of larger foods,
such as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure
large meats are completely defrosted
before cooking.
frequent attention than usual.
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 very briefly, or
let it stand a few minutes.
Make sure the turntable support and glass
turntable are in place when microwaving.
Auto Defrost
Use Auto Defrost for meat, poultry and fish.
Use Time Defrost for most other frozen foods.
Conversion Guide
If the weight of food is stated in pounds and
ounces, the ounces must be converted to tenths

About the convection features.
ge.com
Convection cooking uses a heating element to raise the temperature of the air inside the
oven. Any oven temperature from 250°F to 450°F may be set, in increments of 5°F. A fan
gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing
golden brown exteriors and rich, moist interiors.
Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air
to develop around the food, some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.
See the Cookware Tips section for information on suggested cookware.
For Best Results…
Use the rack only when doing two level baking. Otherwise, place food or oven-safe dish
directly on metal tray.

Cookware tips.
Convection Cooking
Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially where
browning or crusting is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat
and produce crisper crust.
Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or muffins because these pans
reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust.
Glass or Glass-Ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese
recipes due to the cleanability of glass.
Combination Cooking
Glass or Glass-Ceramic baking containers are recommended. Be sure not to use
items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven shelf,
damaging the cookware, the shelf or the oven.
Heat-Resistant Plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450°F) may be used, but it is not
recommended for foods requiring crusting or all-around browning, because the
plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

Microwave terms.
ge.com
Term
Definition
Arcing
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
I the metal shelf being installed incorrectly and touching the microwave walls.
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.
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.
Rack
Do not touch, clean or attempt to
remove the protective cover on the
side wall.
Clean with mild soap and water or in the dishwasher. 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.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Do not use a steel-wool 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 clean
cloth. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.
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.
