The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug

which mates with a standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle (Fig. 1) to m.in­irnize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance. TIM customer should
have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the

receptacle is proper]y grounded.

PREFERREDMETHOD

Where a standard two-prong waH receptacle is encountered, it is the personal respon­sibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grou~ded

three-prong wall receptacle.

electrical outlet, to prevent flickeringoflights, Mowingof fuse or tripping of

breaker.

2. Use of Extension Cords. Because of potential safety hazards under certain con­ditions we strong]y recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you

still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating

of the cord in amperes be 15 amperes or greater. Such extension cords are obtain­able through General Electric service. If you do use an extension cord with your
microwave oven, the interior light may flickm and the blower sound may vary when
oven is in use.

3. Be

4. Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid damage to the oven and the danger

However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at all times-it saves

energy and

prolongs life of the oven.

5. I-Jsemetal only 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 for TV
dinners. EIowever, when using metal in the microwave oveh, keep metal at least
l-inch away from sides ofmicrowaveoven.

6. 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. Pot holders may be needed to handle the utensil.

7. Sometimes, the oven shelf can become too hot to touch. Be careful touching the
shelf during and after cooking.

8. Do not use any thermometer in food you are microwaving unless that thermom-

eter is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

!3. Remove the temperature probe from the oven when not using it to cook with.
H you leave the probe inside the ovenwithout inserting it in food or liquid, and turn

on microwave energy, it can create electrical arcing in the oven, and damage oven

A. Check to be sure T’IME/TEMP Switch is set at TEMP. ‘H’set at TIME, and

Timer is at “O,”no cooking takes place, (If time remains on Timer, oven will
operate until time reaches “O,”then gooff.)

B. Check to make sure TIME/TEMP switch is correctly set, When cooking by

TIME, if by mistake TIME/TEMP switch is set at TEMP, ovenwill not start
when “Start” button is pressed.

C. when cooking with TEMpER,ATIJRE PROBE, check to be sure cable end is

securely “seated” into oven receptacle. If it is not securely “seated,” and oven
is otherwise set for Temperature Probe Cooking, oven will not start. This in­dicates that a firmconnection has not been made.

IF
Check first to see that the 3-prong plug is inserted firmly into a proper receptac~e.

Is the wall receptacle working properly or has it failed and won’t work until a fuse

is replaced? You can check that easily at the control box.

THE ON

IF

Check to be certain the door is securely closed, and the timer set. If a dish touches

the door when the door seems closed, it, actually may not be firmly closed. LJnless

the door is closed to engage the safety interlocks, the microwave energy cannot
come into the oven. Check to be certain that TIME/TEMP switch is pushed all the
way up or down. An “in-between” setting should be avoided.

SF GCIES (3FF SET

Check to be certain the fuse protecting the receptacle into which cord is plugged is
operating. If fuse has not blown and power continues to go off, this signals a prob­lem, so ~all serviceman.

!lF OUT

See Care Section, page 15, regarding replacement. The oven can be operated with-

out the lamp in place, but it should be replaced for convenience in seeing the oven
interior, and also for safety’s sake because the socket should not be left open.

General Electric does not stock the lamps.

Some ‘TV and radio interference might be noticed while operating the microwave
ol~en<Ii is similar t. the interference caused by other small appliances

vacuum cleaners, mixers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.
