ARCING If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFFpad and correct the problem. Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
n The metal shelf not n Foil not molded to food
(upturned edges act like antennas). n Metal, such as twist-ties, installed correctly so it touches the microwave wall. n Metal or foil touching the side of the oven. poultry pins, or gold-
rimmed dishes, in the microwave. n Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave. FOODS n 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. n Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containersfor example, closed jarswill explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury. n 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. n 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. n 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. n atio m r afety Info S s n ctio u str g In atin r e p O s g Tip otin o h s ble u o Tr rt o p p u r S e m u s n o C 4 49-401713v01 5/1/01 1:12 PM Page 5 n SUPERHEATED WATER Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all. Superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it. To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for 30 seconds before moving it or putting anything into it. n 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 or breast milk. The container may feel cooler than the milk really is. Always test the milk before feeding the baby. n Dont 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. www.GEAppliances.com n Spontaneous boiling Under certain special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we recommend the following: before removing the container from the oven, allow the container to stand in the oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids in narrow-necked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine flasks and especially narrow-necked coffee cups. Even if the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it to burst or overflow. n 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. n Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven. n Cook meat and poultry thoroughlymeat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160F. and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. WARNING!
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. n 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 waterset the measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave 3045 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. n If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens. n 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. n 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. n Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers. n Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use. n 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. n Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware. n atio m r afety Info S s n ctio u str g In atin r e p O s g Tip otin o h s ble u o Tr rt o p p u r S e m u s n o C 6 49-401713v01 5/1/01 1:12 PM Page 7 www.GEAppliances.com n Boilable cooking pouches n Plastic cookwarePlastic 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. n Use foil only as directed in this manual. 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. 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:
Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturers recommendations. 1 2 3 Do not microwave empty containers. Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 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. n atio m r afety Info S s n ctio u str g In atin r e p O s g Tip otin o h s ble u o Tr rt o p p u r S e m u s n o C 8 49-401713v01 5/1/01 1:12 PM Page 9 www.GEAppliances.com 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. n Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow grease to build up on the microwave or the fan filters. n 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. n Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filters. n When preparing flaming foods under the microwave, turn the fan on. n 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. READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

The power levels on the microwave oven can be compared to the surface units on a range. High (power level 10) or full power is the fastest way to cook and gives you 100% power. 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. A high setting (10) will cook faster but food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. Most cooking will be done on High (power level 10). 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 3the 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:
Power LevelBest Uses High 10 Med-High 7 Gentle cooking of meat and poultry;
Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids. baking casseroles and reheating. Medium 5 Slow cooking and tenderizing such as stews and less tender cuts of meat. Low 2 or 3 Defrosting without cooking;
simmering; delicate sauces. Keeping food warm without overcooking; softening butter.

Power level 3 is automatically set, but you may change this for more flexibility. You may defrost small items more quickly by raising the power level after entering the time. However, they will need more frequent attention than usual. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to approximately 1/3. Rotate or stir food frequently. A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting. This sound is normal when the oven is not operating at High power. Defrosting Tips n Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package. Tightly closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered. n 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. n Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. n For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as beef, lamb and veal roasts, use Auto Defrost. n Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking. n 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.

Arcing is caused by:
n the metal shelf not installed correctly so that it touches the microwave wall. n metal or foil touching the side of the oven. n foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas). n metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes. n recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces. 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.

Helpful Hints Open the oven door a few minutes after cooking to air out the inside. An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh. NOTE:Be certain the power is off 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. Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your microwave. 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. Shelf Clean with mild soap and water or in the dishwasher.

(on some models) The Vent Fan The vent fan has 2 metal reusable grease filters. Models that recirculate air back into the room also use a charcoal filter. Reusable Grease Filters
(on all models) Reusable Grease 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 microwave. For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is used. The grease filters should be cleaned once a month, or as needed. Removing and Cleaning the Filter To remove,slide it to the outside using the tab. Pull it down and out. To clean the grease filter,soak it and then swish it around in hot water and detergent. Dont use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the metal. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse, shake and let it dry before replacing. To replace,slide the filter in the frame slot at the outside of the opening. Pull up and in to lock into place.
