Grounding Instructions

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly

grounded. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with

a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle. (See picture, left. )
To minimize the posslbildy of severe or fatal electric shock

Q

hazard from this appliance, the customer should have the wall
receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to

make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered,

it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to have a qualified electrician replace it with a properly
grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord.

3

Safetv Tim to Follow

1. For personal safety the oven must be properly

grounded. See grounding instructions on Page 3 of

this book.

2. Cooking utensils may become hot because of
heat transferred from the heated food. This is espe-

cially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top
and handles of the utensil. Pot holders may be

needed.

3. Sometimes, the oven shelf can become too hot to

touch. Be careful when touching the shelf during and

after cooking.

4. “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed
plastic bags should be slit, pricked or vented as di-
rected in Cookbook. 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
face.

5. Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow necked
bottles especially carbonated ones. Even if the con-

tainer is opened, pressure can build up. This can

cause the container to burst, resulting in injury.

6. Don’t overcook. Excessive overcooking dehy-

drates potatoes, and may cause them to catch fire
causing damage.

7. If food shouid ever ignite, keep the oven door

closed. Turn off the power immediately. Touch

CLEAR/OFF or disconnect power cord or shut off

power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

8. Remove the temperature probe from 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, and damage oven walls or

shelf.

9. Remove wire twist-ties on paper and plastic

bags before placing in oven. Twist-ties sometimes

cause bag to heat, and may cause fire.

10. Boiiing eggs (in or out of the sheil) is not recom-
mended for microwave cooking. Pressure can build
up inside egg yolk and cause it to burst, resulting in
injury.

11. Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven
unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or
unless you use popcorn in a package labeled for
microwave ovens. Because of the heat generated,
without these precautions, the container could catch
fire.

12. Use metai oniy as directed in cookbook. Metal
strips as used on meat roasts are helpful in cooking
food when used as directed. Metal trays may be used

and direct steam away from hands and

for TV dinners. However, when using metal in the
microwave oven, keep metai at least l-inch away

from sides of microwave oven.

13. Do not use any thermometer in food you are

microwaving unless that thermometer is designed or

recommended for use in the microwave oven.

14. Do not store flammabie materiais in an oven.
Also, do not use flammable fluids in the vicinity of
your oven.

15. Do not use your microwave oven to dry news-
papers. If overheated, they can catch fire.

16. Piastic Utensiis–Plastic utensils designed for
microwave cooking are very useful, but should be
used carefully. Even microwave 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 utensils may
even ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave
plastics only and use them in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do
not subject empty utensils to microwaving. 3) Do not
permit children to use plastic utensils without com­plete supervision.

17, Don’t operate the oven whiie empty in order t
prolong the life of the oven and save energy. If, by
accident, the oven should run empty a minute or two,
no harm is done.

THE HOOD:

1.

Have it instailed and properly grounded by a qual-

ified instaiier. See the special installation booklet

packed with the microwave oven.

2. The vent fan in your Spacemaker oven wiii oper-

ate automatically under certain conditions (see
Automatic Fan Feature, page 7). Whiie the fan is op­erating caution is required to prevent the starting
and spreading of accidental cooking fires whiie the
vent fan is in use. For this reason:

A. Never ieave surface units unattended at high
heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy

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

B. in the event of a grease fire, smother flaming
pan on surface unit by covering pan completely
with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.

C. Never frame foods under the oven with the vent
fan operating because it may spread the flames.

D. Keep hood and grease fiiters clean, accordin
to instructions on pages 17 and 19, to maintain
good venting and avoid grease fires.

fan is designed to automatically turn on at low speed

if excessive temperatures occur. Shouid this happen,
the fan cannot be manuaily turned off, but it wiii auto-

matically turn off when the internai parts have

cooied. The fan may stay on up to approximateiy 30

minutes after the range and microwave oven controis

have been turned off.

How to Defrost .”

Defrosting is one of the most important advantages
of a microwave oven. Your new oven makes defrost­ing even easier and better. It’s microwave-fast, but
gentle enough to defrost uniformly with a minimum of

attention. The Microwave Guide & Cookbook helps
too, with step-by-step instructions for defrosting all
types of food.

The Defrost setting gives you an automatic power

level of 3, which is best for most defrosting. You may
change it if you wish, which makes Defrost a versatile
function. Power Level can be changed, but only after
time is entered.

You may open the door at any time during micro-

waving. To resume defrosting, close the door and

press START.

TIPS FOR DEFROSTING

Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted
right in the package. The Microwave Guide & Cook-
book gives you special instructions for packaging
and freezing foods which will be used in automatic 3­step cooking programs.

For even defrosting, many foods need to be turned
over, rotated or broken up part way through the de­frosting time. Let the oven remember for you. If you
set the oven for the first time period, it will signal
when food needs attention. Always start with min­imum defrosting time.

“HURRY-UP” DEFROSTING

With “Hurry-Up” defrosting, food will need less time
but more frequent attention. If you want to defrost
small items in a hurry, you can raise the Power Level
after entering time by touching POWER LEVEL pad
and 7 or 10.

To defrost at Power Level 7 (Medium-High), cut total
defrosting time to %. Rotate, turn over or stir food af-

ter Yzof the new total time.
To defrost at Power Level 10 (High), cut total defrost- -.

ing time to %. Rotate, turn over or stir food fre
quently.

Microwaving Tips

● Make sure all utensils used in

your microwave oven are labeled

“suitable for microwaving”. Check
your Cookbook for specific test to
determine “microwave-safe” uten­sils.

. Paper towels, wax paper, and

plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering.

. Most microwaved foods require
stirring, rotating, or rearranging.
Check your Cookbook for specific
instructions for the food you are
microwaving.

. Some foods such as unshelled
eggs and hot dogs must be

pricked to allow steam to escape
during cooking.

Questions

and Answers

Q. I set my oven for the time called
for in the recipe but at the end of
the time allowed, my dish wasn’t
done. What happened?

A. Since house power varies due
to time or location, many Time
Cook recipes give you a time range

prevent overcooking. Set the

n for minimum time, test the

e

food for doneness, and cook your

dish a little longer, if necessary.

Q. I want to cook my dish on a
Power Level other than HIGH, what
do 1need to do?

A. To change the Power Level,
touch the Power Level pad, then
touch number pad for power level
desired.

Q. Can I interrupt my Time Cook
function to check the food?

A. Yes. To resume cooking, simply
close the door and touch START.
NOTE: Microwave power will not
come on until you are ready. You
must touch START for cooking to
begin.

9

Q. I touched the number pads and
selected my power level. When I
touched START, however, my oven
didn’t come on. Why not?

A. The TIME COOK pad must be
touched before setting the number
pads or else your oven will not be­gin cooking.

How to Temp Cook

For many foods, temperature cooking (Temp Cook) is
the most accurate method. Use it for cooking meat-

loaf, roasts and other foods where internal temper­ature is the best test of doneness. Use it to heat or
reheat foods to precise serving temperature. It takes
the guesswork out of cooking, because the oven
shuts off automatically when food reaches the preset

temperature.
Temperature Cook gives you an automatic Power

Level of 10. After entering the temperature, you may
change power level.

The oven helps you with temperature cooking. If
after you press START, the oven gives a 3-second
signal, it means you selected a temperature lower
than that of the food.

If you set a temperature lower than 90° or higher

than 200°, the oven gives a 3-second signal and

shows you the incorrect figure so you can recognize

your mistake and reset.

If you forget the probe or have not attached it to the

oven correctly, or if probe needs service, the oven
gives a 3-second signal and then shuts off. All you
have to do is attach the probe and press START.

HOW TO USE A TEMPERATURE COOK
RECIPE

Temperature Cook recipes tell you where to place
the probe and attach the cable. Temperature and
power level are printed in bold type so you can read
them at a glance. Be sure to touch TEMP COOK be­fore touching the number pads. If you need to
change the power level, do so after you have entered
the temperature.

THE MICRO-THERMOMETERTM PROBE LETS YOU COOK TO ACCURATE TEMPERATURE.

1

The Micro-Thermometer probe is essential when us­ing both the Temperature Cook and Sim ‘N Cook TM
controls. When temperature cooking, insert the
probe at least one inch into the food which you are
cooking. When using the probe with the Sim ‘N Cook
settinq, insert the probe into the liquid portion of the
food. -

Place food with probe in oven and insert the cable

end into receptacle on oven wall. If you forget the

probe or do not attach it correctly, the oven will
sound a 3-second signal when you press START.
The oven will not start.

When needed, loop the cable and use the clip to hold
it in place. This prevents the probe from slipping out
of position. If the probe does slip out of position dur­ing cooking, reposition the probe, press START and
continue cooking. When closing the door, make sure

the probe cable doesn’t interfere with door seal. Do
not leave the probe in the oven if it is not inserted in

food; this could cause damage to the oven.

FOODS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH THE

TEMPERATURE PROBE.
Delicate butter icings, ice cream, frozen whipped

toppings, etc., soften rapidly at warm temperatures.

Lowest setting on temperature probe is 90°. Time

cook these heat sensitive foods.
Most frozen foods. The probe should not be inserted

into hard foods. Defrost roasts, casseroles or con­venience foods, then cook or heat them with the
probe to precise serving temperature. .

Batters and doughs should be observed during bak­ing and tested for doneness. They may also require
turning of the dish. Time cook these foods.

HOW TO POSITION THE PROBE IN TYPICAL FOODS FOR TEMPERATURE COOKING

Raw Vegetable Casserole. Position

the probe so that the tip rests on
the bottom of the dish at the cen­ter. Set temperature for 200”.

Plates of Food. insert probe as
horizontally as possible, so tip is in
center of largest item, but not

touching a bone. Heat to 160°.

Meatloaf. Insert probe as horizon­tally as possible, so that tip is in
center of the loaf. Set temperature
for 170”.

— 11—.

Soups and Beverages. Use the clip
to hold the probe tip in the center
of the food off the bottom of cup.
Heat cream soups to 140°, water­based soups to 150° to 160°.

Dips. Insert probe so tip is in cen­ter of dip. Use clip to hold it in
place, Heat sour cream dips to 90°
and cheese dips to 120°.

How to Use Sim ‘N CookTMControl

Setting the oven to use the “Sire ‘N Cook” control is
easy. You don’t enter time because it is a temper-

ature function. You don’t enter temperature or power
level because the oven does that automatically.
There is no automatic shut-off.

The “Sire ‘N Cook” control lets you slow-cook foods
which need long, gentle cooking to tenderize or de-

velop flavor. Food is brought to a simmer rapidly,
then the temperature probe maintains simmering at
about 180° for as long as you want. Choose this set­ting for pot roasts, stews, or any favorite slow-cook

recipe.
If, after you press start, a 3-second signal sounds

and the oven shuts off, it means you have forgotten

the probe or have not attached it to the oven

correctly.

Casserole Suggestions for

Automatic Simmering

Your Cook Book recipes specify size of casseroles
needed for simmering certain foods. A summary of
dish sizes for a variety of foods which automatically
simmers with excellent results’is listed below.

Be sure to use the amount of water called for in the

recipe, and to cover the food. Covering retains the

steam which helps soften and tenderize the food dur-

ing microwaving.

Covering the food tightly to retain steam is so impor­tant that we recommend that you use plastic wrap,
stretching over the top of the casserole. Gather it

loosely around the probe, allowing some space for
venting (see pictures in your cookbook). Do not use
the lids to your casseroles.

Alternately, check department stores housewares
sections for plastic or stoneware accessories de­signed for automatic temperature cooking. These
pots have lids designed with slots cut out so the tem­perature probe can be inserted from the outside of

the casserole through the lid directly into the food.

How to UseTemp HoId

Temp Hold is an especially handy feature of your mi-
crowave oven. It lets you hold foods at serving tem­perature, keeping them “just-cooked” hot and fresh.

With the Temp Hold feature:

1. You can select a holding temperature between
90° and 200”F.

~
1

v

2. You can select any Power Level you want.

Because foods tend to stay moist and tender during
microwaving, Temp Hold is the perfect way to keep
vegetables, casseroles, and even scrambled eggs
piping hot and ready to serve. Roasts, ham and
poultry, too, may be kept juicy and table ready with
this feature.

You can even warm up leftovers!

If you wish, you can set your oven to automatically
defrost, hold, time or temperature cook, and then
Temp. Hold. You must be sure, when you combine

Time Cook and Temp Hold, that the temperature

probe is placed in the food before starting the
microwave oven.

For temperature cooking and holding, you can
choose one finished temperature and power level for

e cooking and if you want another

Things to remember when setting

your oven to microwave
Temp Hold.

● TO prevent spoilage, do not hold foods except

solid roasts at temperatures below 150° for more
than 2 hours.

. Solid (not rolled) roasts may be held below 150°.

However, during the microwave roasting process,
a great amount of heat is stored in the roast. Keep-

ing the roast in the warm oven cavity during
TEMP/HOLD can cause a greater increase in in­ternal temperature than when allowing the roast to
stand outside the oven on a kitchen counter. Tem­peratures of up to 20° to 30° above the TEMP/
HOLD setting are possible. Because of this heat
storage, it is not possible to hold roasts at a rare
degree of doneness.

It is suggested that you first remove the roast from
the oven and let it stand, uncovered, for about 10 to

15 minutes before returning to TEMP/HOLD. Or, if
you know before cooking that you intend to hold a
solid roast at serving temperature, you may com-

pensate for the stored heat by undercooking the
roast. See your Cookbook for details.

How to speed up
Automatic Simmer recipes

The Automatic Simmer recipes in the Mcrowave
Guide and Cookbook were especially developed for
long slow cooking. However, you can speed up the
cooking process by using the Temp Hold feature and
following the instructions as given in the cookbook.
You can cut the time in half for most simmer-cooking
recipes with no risk of toughening because with the

temperature probe you do not exceed the recom-

mended temperature,

How to Use the Hold/Timer

—.

Your HOLD/TIMER, which oper­ates without microwave energy,
has three timing functiorls.

It operates as a Minute Timer, it
can be set to delay cooking or may
be used as a hold setting after de­frosting. Hold/Timer can be set up
to 99 minutes.

Step 1: Touch HOLD/TIMER pad.
The read-out panel shows :0.

Step 2: Select the amount of time
you desire. Touch the appropriate

number pads. If, for example, you

are timing a three minute phone
call, touch 3, 0, and O. The readout
panel shows 3:00.

Step 3: Touch START. The readout
display shows the time as it counts
down.

Step 4: When time is up, a signal
sounds. The oven turns off.

The HOLD/TIMER can also be
used to program “standing time”
between microwave cooking func-

tions. The time can range from one =
second to 99 minutes and 99 sec-

ends. A HOLD, or “standing” time
may be found in some of yo-ur own
recipes or Cookbook.

To set the oven to delay cooking

Up to 99 minutes follow Steps 1

and 2 to enter hold time, then set
time or temperature desired before
pressing START. When holding be­fore temperature cooking, be sure
probe is in food before pressing
START.

How to Defrost-Hold/Time–Time Cook

TO help you become acquainted with the HOLD/TIMER feature as used with Time Cook or Temp Cook follow
Steps below to defrost a frozen casserole for 15 minutes, then hold 10 minutes and then cook 25 minutes. If US­ing Temp Cook after Hold/Timer, be sure to insert probe correctly as shown in Temp Cook section of this book.

Step 1: Remove casserole from the
freezer and place in oven. Touch
the DEFROST pad. The readout

panel shows :0. Signal light above
DEFROST comes on.

Step 2: Touch 1, 5, 0, and O for de­frosting time. 15:00 and Power 3
appear on readout. (Defrosting is
automatically set on Power Level 3

but can be changed by touching
POWER LEVEL pad and the new

Power Level.)

Questions
and Answers

Q. What will happen if I acciden­tally reverse the instructions?

A. If you accidentally reverse the
sequence of programming instruc­tions, your oven automatically

rearranges your program. Defrost­ing always comes first, then hold,
and then the cooking function.

Step 4: Touch 1, 0, 0, and O to hold
for ten minutes. 10:00 and “HOLD”
appear on the display.

Q. Can I Defrost-Hold only on my
oven?

A. Sometimes you may want to de­frost a food, hold it, and refrigerate
it to be cooked later. All you need
to do is program in Defrost and
amount of time. Then program

Hold and amount of time. Put your
thawed dish in the refrigerator and
cook later at a convenient time.

NOTE: Allow foods to remain at
room temperature only as long as
safe. Times will vary.

Step 5: Touch the TIME COOK
pad. The display shows :0 and
Power 10 (HIGH). Signal light
above TIME COOK comes on.

Step 6: Touch 2, 5, 0, and O for
twenty-five minutes of cooking
time. 25:00 and Power 10 appear
on the display panel.

Step 7: Touch START. Power 3 and
15:00 counting down on display.
All signal lights except Defrost turn
off. When TIME COOK begins, sig­nal light above TIME COOK
appears.

Q. I programmed my oven for a
specific defrosting time but it de- t
frosted longer than necessary.

What happened?
A. When instructions conflict, the

oven carries out the last instruc-

tion. You may have set the oven to

Defrost for 4 minutes, Hold/Time
for 2 minutes, and then Defrost for
6 minutes. In this case, the oven
would Defrost for 6 minutes and
Hold/Time for 2 minutes.

Care for Your Microwave Oven

,

—

Your New Microwave Oven is a Valuable Appliance,

Protect It From Misuse By Following These Rules:

● Keep your oven clean and sweet-smelling.

Opening the oven door a few minutes after cooking
helps “air-out” the interior. An occasional thorough
wiping with a solution of baking soda and water
keeps the interior fresh.

● Don’t use sharp-edged utensils with your oven.

The interior and exterior oven walls can be
scratched. The control panel can be damaged.

● Don’t remove the cover over the “stirrer” at the

top of the oven (microwave feature

You will damage the oven.

4 on page 5).

BE CERTAIN POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THIS OVEN.

How to Clean the Interior

Walls, floor and plastic cover. Because there is little

heat except in the food, or sometimes in the uten­sils, spills and spatters are easy to remove. Some
spatters are easy to remove. Some spatters can be
removed with a paper towel, others may require a
damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy
cloth, then rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive
cleaners on oven walls. NEVER USE A COM­MERCIAL OVEN CLEANER ON ANY PART OF
YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.

Door-inside. Glass: Wipe up spatters daily, wash
when soiled, with a minimum of sudsy warm water.

Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Metal and plastic parts on door: Wipe frequently

with a damp cloth to remove all soil. DO NOT USE

ABRASIVES, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS OR
STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. THEY WILL MAR THE
SURFACE.

Special note when using Brown ‘N Sear Dish: High
heat generated on bottom of Brown ‘N Sear Dish
can cause scorched appearing stains to bake onto
the oven shelf if grease is present. These may be re-

moved with Delete R
Drackett Products Co.

After using Delete, rinse and dry thoroughly, follow­ing instructions on can. Do not use Delete on the
painted surfaces such as walls. It will scratch the
paint.

.

Polishing Cleanser by the

Delete may be purchased from your local dealer or
from your Authorized Service Center. Check the

“yellow pages” for location and phone number.

Delete may be sold in grocery or hardware stores,
or in the housewares section of some department
stores.

Automatic Temperature Probe. Probe is sturdy, but
care should be taken in handling. Do not twist or

bend; avoid dropping temperature probe.
Clean as soon after using as possible. To clean,

wipe with sudsy cloth, then rub lightly with plastic
scouring ball if necessary. Rinse and dry. (Or wash
in dishwasher. )

How to Clean the Exterior

Case. Clean the outside of your oven with soap and

water, then rinse and dry. The outer pane of the
window is glass. Just wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Chrome trim is best wiped with a damp cloth and

then with a dry towel.

Control Panel. Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thor-
oughly. Do not use abrasives or sharp objects on

the panel. They can damage it.

Common Problems and Easy Solutions

—.—

Problem: The oven doesn’t seem to work at all.

Solution: Make sure power is on. Check to see that

3-prong plug is inserted firmly into a proper outlet.
Check the house control box to see that wall outlet
and fuses are working.

If power is on, then the oven is not accepting your
instructions. You may have entered another func-

tion, or you may have programmed functions which

cannot be combined, or you may have made a nu­merical entry before a function entry. Touch
CLEAR/OFF.

Problem: The control panel lights up but oven

won’t turn on when 1touch START.
Solution: Check that door is securely closed. Un-

less door is closed to engage the safety interlocks,

the microwave energy cannot come into the oven.

Problem: “PF” appeared
Solution: “PF” shows on readout when you first

plug in your oven–or if the power supply has been
interrupted.
controls.

Problem: My oven light has burned out. Can I still

use my oven?
Solution: Yes, see page 17 regarding replacement.

For safety’s sake the socket should not be left open.
General Electric service does not stock these lights.

Problem: Hood fan isn’t working right.

Solution: If it doesn’t work at all, check the main
fuse or circuit breaker. If it works but is faster than
usual, the filter may need cleaning. If fan goes on
and off, it’s probably overheating or if fan is on and
can’t be turned off, see page 7 about the Automatic
Fan Feature.

Problem: If I want to check temperature that I set
for Temp Cook or the present temperature during

Sim ‘n Cook what do I do?
Solution: Touch Temp Cook or Sim ‘n Cook pad and

temperature will be displayed on readout.

Touch CLEAR/OFF and reset the

onmy readout display.

Problem: My oven displayed the “temperature set”
and a 3 second signal sounded even though I
thought I set it right.

Solution: Be sure probe is in place in oven and con-

nected at the receptacle end. If Temperature Cook
and Probe are properly set, and food temperature is
above IO” F, yet a 3 second signal still sounds, call
for service and indicate that you probably have a
problem with a probe or a wiring defect.

Problem: When using Temperature Cook, after I
touch START, a signal sounds, and oven turns off.
I’ve rechecked everything and 1 have set the oven
properly.

Solution: You have probably set an end temper-

ature which is lower than the present temperature
of the food. For example, if you set oven to heat

your cup of coffee to 150° but your coffee is already

155°, the oven turns off because the temperature

you set has been reached.

Problem: I have some TV and radio interference

while operating my microwave oven. Is anything
wrong?

Solution: Some TV and radio interference similar to

other appliance interference might be noticed while
operating the microwave oven, but does not in­dicate a problem with your oven.

Problem: My food is undercooked although 1set all
the controls properly.

Solution: Food may have not been fully defrosted.

Times given in the recipe are minimum, but the den­sity or size of food varies and thus cooking time
should be adjusted. Check recipe for special in­structions for turning or stirring of food.

Problem: Oven gives a signal when I try to set tem-

perature and press START.
Solution: You are setting a temperature outside the

oven’s range of 90° to 200° or have not connected

the probe.
