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.

• Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.

• Light reflection around door or outer case.

• 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 oven.

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 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.

• Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water—for example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool or near a sink.

• This microwave oven is not approved or tested

for marine use.

• Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven surface when the oven is in operation.

• Do not immerse power cord or plug in water.

• Keep power cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not let power cord hang over edge of table or counter.

• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

• See door surface cleaning instructions in the Care and Cleaning section(s) of this guide.

• This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

• As with any appliance, close supervision is

necessary when used by children.

• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

—Do not overcook food. Carefully attend

appliance if paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

—Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles

from paper or plastic containers before placing them in the oven.

—Do not use your microwave oven to dry

newspapers.

—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.

—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.

—Do not overcook potatoes. They could

dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

—Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid

damage to the oven and the danger of fire.

If by accident the oven should run empty a minute or two, no harm is done. However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at all times— it saves energy and prolongs the life of the oven.

Important Safety Instructions

(continued next page)

IMPOR TANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

—Do not use the oven for storage purposes.

Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

—If materials inside oven should ignite, keep

oven door closed, turn oven off and disconnect power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed jars—will explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave 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.

• 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 oven, keep the foil (other than metal shelf) at

least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.

• Cookware may become hot because

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

• 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 a thermometer in food you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

• 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.

• 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 microwave-safe 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.

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

• 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.

• 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.

• Use of the shelf accessory.

—Remove the shelf from oven when not in use. —Do not store or cook with shelf on floor of oven.

Product damage may result.

—Use pot holders when handling the shelf and

cookware. They may be hot.

—Do not use microwave browning dish on shelf.

The shelf could overheat. —Use the shelf only when cooking on 2 levels. —Be sure that the shelf is positioned properly

inside the oven to prevent product damage.

Use of shelf with Auto Cook or Auto Reheat is

not recommended. Do NOT use the metal shelf

with the Popcorn program (see the Auto Cook,

Auto Reheat or Popcorn sections).

The Exhaust Hood

• 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 prevent 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 well-fitting 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 are 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.
