IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before

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:

● Use this appliance only for its

intended use as described in this manual.

● Read and follow the specific

“PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE ‘IO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 2.

● This appliance must be

grounded. Connect only to

properly grounded outlet. See

“GROUNDING INSTRUC-

TIONS” found on page 9.

● For best operation, plug this

appliance into its own electrical

outlet, to prevent flickering of

lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.

● Install or locate this appliance

only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

● Be certain to place the front

surface of the door three inches or more back from the countertop edge to avoid accidental tipping of the appliance in normal usage.

(If used on countertop.)

● Do not cover or block any

openings on the appliance.

QDo not use outdoors.

● 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.

using this appliance.

● Do not operate this appliance if

it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it is has been damaged or dropped.

QSee door surface cleaning instructions on page 8.

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

c As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

s 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 from paper or plastic bags before

placing bag in oven. —Do not use your microwave

oven to dry newspapers.

—Riper towels and napkins, wax paper. Recycled paper

products 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 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 life of the oven.

Page 4

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

—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.

—If materials inside the oven

should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or

shut off power at the fhse or circuit breaker panel.

● Some products such as whole

eggs and sealed containers-for

example, closed glass jars—may

explode and should not be heated

in this oven.

● Avoid heating baby food in

glass jars, even without their

lids; especially meat and egg mixtures.

● Don’t defrost frozen

beverages in narrow necked bottles; especially carbonated ones. Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst. resulting in injury.

● Use metal only as directed in

Cookbook. Metal strips as used on meat roasts are helpful when

used as shown in Cookbook.

TV dinners maybe cooked

in metal trays, providing the metal foil covers are removed. However, when using metal in microwave oven, keep metal

at least l-inch away from sides of oven.

● Cooking utensils may

become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. This is especially true if plastic

wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.

● Sometimes, the cooking tray

can become too hot to touch.

Be careful handling the cooking tray during and after cooking.

. Thermometer—Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

● Plastic utensils—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 could

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.

● When cooking pork follow

our directions exactly and always

cook the meat to at least 170°.

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.

● Boiling eggs (in and out of

shell) is not recommended for

microwave cooking. Pressure

can build up inside egg yolk and

may cause it to burst, resulting in injury.

● Foods with unbroken outer

“skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs or sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and eggs (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

● “Boilable” cooking pouches

and tightly closed plastic bags

should be slit, pierced or vented as directed 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 and direct steam away from hands and face.

Questions and Amvers

Q. I set mv oven for the time called for ;n 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 to prevent overcooking. Set the oven for minimum time. test the food for doneness, and cook your dish a little longer, if necessary!’.

Q. What happens if I accidentally operate the microwave oven without food in it?

A. Accidental use for short

periods of time does not damage the Magnetron, but. it is not

recommended.

Q. Can I interrupt mv Time

Cook function to che~k the food?

A. Yes. T(Jrcsunw cooking.

simply close the door-. The timer

must be reset for cooking to resume

unless tirnc is remaining on timer.

Step 2: Turn Variable Power Con-

trol Knob to power level HIGH.

Defrosting inlbur Microwave oven

The Defrost setting is designed

for even thawing for large amounts of food and is one of the

most important advantages of a microwave oven.

● Power Level LOW/DEF should

be used for defrosting, but you may change this for more flexibility.

● See your Cookbook for

defrosting help. To become better acquainted with

the defrost function, defrost frozen pork chops by following the steps below.

Step 1: Place package of frozen

chops in the oven and close door.

Step 2: Turn Variable Power

Control Knob to LOW/DEF.

Defrosting Tips

● Foods frozen in paper or plastic

can be defrosted in the package.

● For even defrosting, many foods

need to be broken up or separated part of the way through the defrosting time.

● Pre-packaged frozen dinners

can be defrosted and microw~ve cooked. Be sure to remove any foil covers. Keep metal trays at least 1” away from cavity walls.

● Check your Cookbook for other

defrosting tips.

Questions and Answer’s

Q. When I turn the Timer Control and start the oven, I hear

a dull thumping noise. What is it? A. This sound is normal. It is

letting you know the oven is using a Power Level lower than HIGH.

Q. Can I Defrost small items in a hurry?

A. Yes, but they will need more

frequent attention than usual. Set Timer and turn Variable Power Control Knob to desired setting. Power Level MED cuts the time about in %; Power Level HIGH cuts the time to approximately H. During either. rotate or stir food frequently.

Q. Why don’t the defrosting times in the Cookbook seem right for my food?

A. Cookbook times are average.

Defrosting time can vary according to the temperature in your freezer. Set your oven for the time indicated

in your Cookbook. If your food is

still not completely thawed at the end of that time, reset your oven and adjust the time accordingly.

Q. Should all foods be completely thawed before cooking?

A. Some foods should not be

completely thawed before cooking.

For example. fish cooks so quickly

it is better to begin cooking while it

is still slightly frozen.

Step 3: Turn Timer Control to

7 minutes to start oven.

Step 4: When oven turns off, turn package over, close door, and set

timer for another 7 minutes.

Q. Can I open the door during

defrosting to check on the

progress of my food?

A. Yes. You may open the door at

any time during microwaving. To

resume defrosting, close the door.

The oven begins operating if time

is lefi on timer. If not, reset timer.

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. (Fig. 1)

WARNING —Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

PR ME

Fig

~ 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.

Where a standard two-prong wall

receptacle is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong

wall receptacle. Do not under any circum-

stance cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Use of Adapter Plugs Usage situations where

appliance’spowercordwillbe 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 CONNECI’ION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter (Fig. 2) which is available at most local hardware stores.

TEMPORARY METHOD

., ,-. , .

W—INSURE PROPER

Fig.

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.

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 N~

USE the appliance until a proper

ground has again been established.

/’

GROUNDAND FIRMCONNECTION BEFOREUSE -

Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in

these situations because disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a threeprong (grounding) receptacle by a

qualified electrician before using

the appliance.

Use of Extension Cords

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord

that has a 3-blade grounding plug,

and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension

cord shall be equal to or greater

than the electrical rating of the appliance (15amperes).

Such extension cords are obtainable

through General Electric service. If

you do use an extension cord with your microwave oven, the interior

light may flicker and the blower sound may vary when oven is in use. Cook and defrost times may be longer as well.
