If you received a damaged oven…

Immediately contact the dealer (or builder) that sold you the oven.

Save time and money. Before you request service…

Check the Problem Solver in the back of this guide. It lists causes of minor operating problems that you can correct yourself.

All these things are normal with your microwave oven.

• Dimming oven light and change in blower sound may occur while operating at power levels other than high.

• Dull, thumping sound while oven is operating.

• Some TV-radio interference might be noticed while using your microwave oven. It’s similar to the interference caused by other small appliances and does not indicate a problem with your microwave. If you notice this interference, check that the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the microwave as possible, or check the position and signal of the receiving antenna.

• Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.

• Light reflection around door or outer case.

• During cooking you will hear “cracking” and “popping” noises which are nothing more than normal expansion of the oven.

• At the end of microwave cycles you will hear a slight thump. This is normal.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE

TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Do Not Attempt to operate this oven with

the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b) Do Not Place any object between the oven

front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:

(1) door (bent) (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened) (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d) The Oven Should Not be adjusted or repaired

by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

IMPOR TANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using your appliance.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING–To reduce the risk of

burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

• Read and follow the specific ‘‘Precautions to

Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy’’ on the previous page.

• This appliance must be grounded. Connect only

to properly grounded outlet. See Grounding Instructions section in the back of this guide.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this guide. Do not use corrosive

chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This microwave/convection oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food, and is not intended for laboratory or industrial use.

• This over-the-range oven was designed for use over ranges no wider than 42 inches.

It may be installed over both gas and electric cooking equipment.

• For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet, to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.

• Do not mount this appliance over a sink. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions.

• Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

Important Safety Instructions

IMPOR TANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed glass jars—

will explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave/ convection oven could result in injury.

• 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 .

• When using the convection or combination cooking functions, both the outside and inside of

the oven will become hot. Always use hot pads to remove containers of food and accessories such as broiler pan, oven shelf and temperature probe.

• 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 when the microwave/convection oven is operated in the convection or combination mode.

• 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 .

• 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/convection oven, keep it at least 1 inch away from the sides

of the oven.

• Sometimes, the oven floor and walls can become too hot to touch. Be careful touching the floor and

walls during and after cooking.

• Do not cover the shelf or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the microwave/convection oven.

• Cookware may become hot because

of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.

• Do not store any materials, other than our recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.

• Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend

to boil over more rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care and Cleaning section(s) for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

• Thermometer—Do not use regular cooking or oven thermometers when cooking by microwave or combination. The metal and mercury in these

thermometers could cause “arcing” and possible damage to the oven. Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

• Remove the temperature probe fr om the oven when not using it to cook with. If you leave the

probe inside the oven without inserting it in food or liquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can create electrical arcing in the oven, damage oven walls and damage the temperature probe.

• 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. For these reasons: 1) Use microwavesafe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.

• When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe to eat.

• 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.

• Foods with unbroken outer ‘‘skin’ ’

such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

SAFETY FACT—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.

• 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 it 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.

• ‘‘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.

• 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.

• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for

proper use.

• Use of the shelf accessory:

—Never use the shelf for microwave-only

cooking. Remove the shelf from the oven when microwave-only cooking.

—Always place the shelf on the floor of the oven

for Convection and Combination cooking.

—Use pot holders when handling the shelf and

cookware. They will be hot.

—Do not use the broiler pan or spatter shield

while microwaving.

—Place the shelf on the upper supports for

convection broiling.

The Exhaust Hood

• Have it installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer. See the special installation booklet packed with the microwave oven.

• The exhaust fan in the oven will operate automatically under certain conditions (see Automatic Fan Feature). While the fan is operating, caution is required to pr event the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the exhaust fan is in use. For this reason:

—Never leave surface units unattended at high

heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and

greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if exhaust fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat only when necessary.

—In the event of a grease fire, smother

flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with wellfitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.

—Clean the vent hood often. Do not allow grease

to build up on the hood or the filter.

—Use care when cleaning the vent hood filter.

Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter.

—When flaming foods under the hood, turn

the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread

the flame.

IF YOU NEED SERVICE…

To obtain service, see the Consumer Services page in the back of this guide.

We’re proud of our service and want you to be pleased. If for some reason you are not happy with the service you receive, here are 3 steps to follow for further help.

FIRST, contact the people who serviced your appliance. Explain why you are not pleased. In most cases, this will solve the problem.

MICROWAVING TIPS

• 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.”

• 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 1 minute 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.

NEXT, if you are still not pleased, write all the details—including your phone number—to:

Manager, Consumer Relations GE Appliances Appliance Park Louisville, KY 40225

FINALLY, if your problem is still not resolved, write: Major Appliance Consumer Action Panel

20 North Wacker Drive Chicago, IL 60606

• 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.

• Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating or rearranging. Check the Cooking Guide.

• Steam builds up pressure in foods which are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent bursting.

If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

Variable power levels add flexibility to your microwave cooking. The power levels on your 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 may need additional attention such as frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. Most of your cooking will be done on High (Power Level 10). A lower setting will cook more evenly and with less attention given to stirring or rotating the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. You may wish to 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:

POWER LEVEL BEST USES

High 10 Fish, bacon, vegetables,

boiling liquids.

Med-High 7 Gentle cooking of meat and

poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.

Medium 5 Slow cooking and tenderizing

such as stews and less tender cuts of meat.

Low 3 Defrosting without cooking;

simmering; delicate sauces.

Warm 1 Keeping food warm without

overcooking; softening butter.

AUTOMATIC F AN FEATURE

This microwave oven has an automatic fan feature to protect it from too much heat rising from the cooktop or range beneath it. It automatically turns on at a low speed if it senses too much heat.

If you have turned the fan on you may find that you cannot turn it off. This is because the automatic fan has come on to protect the internal parts of the microwave.

The fan will automatically turn off when the internal parts are cool. It may stay on for 30 minutes or more after the range and microwave controls have been turned off.

WHAT YOUR OVEN CAN DO

Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of food preparation options. Microwave cooking uses very short, high frequency radio waves. The movement of the microwaves through the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster than regular methods, while retaining their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food directly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly convenient because less time is spent in food preparation.

Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air around the food, creating even browning and sealedin flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.

Your new oven also offers the option of combination cooking, using microwave energy along with convection cooking. You cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.

You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns off automatically. Or you can cook by temperature, by these methods, using the temperature probe to determine the doneness by the internal temperature of the food. This method takes the guesswork out of cooking, shutting the oven off automatically when the food reaches the desired temperature.

The Sensor Cooking features make your microwave do the cooking for you. It’s easy and convenient— just follow the step-by-step instructions in this guide. A sensor detects steam from the food and automatically adjusts cooking time and power level for best results.

Combination Roast uses alternating microwave and convection to roast meats to perfection.

Auto Defrost automatically sets the defrosting time and power levels according to the weight of the food. Just enter the food weight in pounds and tenths of pounds and touch the START pad. The oven automatically calculates the correct defrosting time and power levels.

The Delay Start/Reminder feature lets you program the oven to start cooking at a desired time, even if you’re not at home. The Reminder feature can be used like an alarm clock.

The following guide shows at a glance the difference between microwave, convection and combination cooking.
