Warranty

RARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly
grounded two-prong wail receptacle by the use of a
UL listed adapter which is available at most local
hardware stores (Fig. 2). 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. The customer 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 NOT USE the appliance until a proper
ground has again been established.

B. Usage Situations Where .Appliance’S Power

CordVW!!Be Lliscormectd 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 fai!­ure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer
should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced
with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a
qualified electrician before using the appliance.

Back Cover

1. For personal safety the oven must be properly
grounded. See groundingWMructims on page 3 of
this book. For best operation, plug this appliance
into its own electrical outlet, to prevent flickering of
lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker,

2, Use cd extension cords. Because of potential
,M@?yhazards under certain conditions we strongly
‘recommend against the use of an extension cord.

Hbwever, if you still elect to use an extension cord,

it /sabsolutely necessary that it be a UL listed 3-wiie

grounding type appliance extension cord and that
the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes
be 15amperes m“greater. Such extension cords are
obtainable through General Electric service. If you

‘ do use an ,extension cord with your microwave

mmn, the’ interior light may flicker and the blower

sound may w.wywhen oven is in use.

15. Foods with unbrokenouter “skin” such as po­tatoes, hot dogs or sausages, tomatoes, apples,
chicken livers and other giblets, and eggs (see
above) should be pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
1&“Boilable” cooking pouches and tight!y closed
plastic bags should bq 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 and direct steam away from hands and
face.

17. 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. Because of the heat generated without
these precautions, the container could catch fire.

18. Plastic 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 ex-

posures to overcooking, the food and utensils

could ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave

plastics only “and use them”
with the utensil manufacturer’s recommendations.

2) Do not subject empty utensils to microwaving. 3)

Do not permit children to use plastic utensils with-

out complete supervision.

papers. If overheated, they can catch fire.

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.

o 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.

~~e Defrost setting is designed for
even thawing necessary for large

~mounts of food and is one of the

most important advantages of a
microwave oven, making defrost­ing quick and easy with little atten-

tion. Power Level 3 is automatically
set for defrcwt!ng, but you may
change this for more flexibility. See
your Cookbook for the complete
defrosting chart.

Step & When oven signals and
shuts off, remove package and sep­arate chops to finish defrosting.

Q. When I press START, 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 Iowerthan HIGH.

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, re-set your
oven and adjust the time ac­cordingly.

I

&$Check your Cookbook for other
defrosting tips.

Q. Can I open the door during DE-

FROST 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
and press START.

Q. Can i select a Power Level other

than automatic Power Level 3 for

defrosting?
A. Yes. Some smaller foods may be

defrosted quicker on higher Power
Levels but for even, carefree de­frosting, Power Level 3 is SUg­gested. Check the chart in the
Cookbook for specific times and

Power Levels.
