IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

■ 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.

■ Do not place any object between the oven

front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

■ The oven should not be adjusted or

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering with baking soda or, if available, a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp

pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot element.

■ Always keep dish towels, dishcloths, pot

holders and other linens a safe distance from your oven.

■ Always keep wooden spoons and plastic

utensils and canned food a safe distance away from your oven.

■ Always keep combustible wall coverings,

curtains or drapes a safe distance from your oven.

■ Do not store flammable material in an

oven or near the cooking center.

■ Do not cover or block any openings on

the appliance.

■ For your safety, never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

■ Do not leave paper products, cooking

utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

■ Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■ Do not let cooking grease or other

flammable materials accumulate in or near the cooking center.

■ Do not touch heating elements or interior

surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

■ Potentially hot surfaces include oven vent

openings, surfaces near the openings and crevices around the oven door.

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips

Consumer Support

www.GEAppliances.com

Read and follow the specific “Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy” section in this manual.

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 containers before placing bags in oven.

■ Do not use your microwave oven to dry

newspapers.

■ 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 any time—it saves energy and prolongs the life of the oven.

■ 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 the oven should ignite,

keep oven door closed, turn oven off and shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is opened, the fire may spread.

■ This microwave oven is not approved or

tested for marine use.

■ 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.

■ Do not operate the microwave oven

without the turntable and support in place.

■ 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.

■ Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven.

Pressure will build up inside the egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

■ Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such

as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, egg yolks, chicken livers and other giblets should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ As with any appliance, close supervision is

necessary when used by children.

MICROWAVE OVEN

Safety Instructions

Operating Instructions

Care and CleaningTroubleshooting TipsConsumer Support

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

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.”

WARNING!

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE

■ 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 35–45 seconds 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.

■ If you use a meat thermometer while

cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

■ 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, since they may also ignite.

■ Some Styrofoam trays (like those that meat

is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.

■ Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in

microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

■ 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.

■ Oversized food or oversized metal cookware

should not be used in a microwave oven. Electrical shock or fire could occur.

■ While paper plates may be used for timed

cooking and defrosting, do not use them with Auto Sensor cooking. Use microwavesafe plates or bowls for reheating. Cover with plastic wrap.

■ Cookware may become hot because of

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

■ “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 foil only as directed in this manual. 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 at least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.

■ 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.

■ Follow these guidelines:

■ Use microwave-safe plastics only

and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations.

■ Do not microwave empty containers.

■ Do not permit children to use

plastic cookware without complete supervision.

If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.

ARCING

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

■ Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

■ Foil not molded to food (upturned edges

act like antennas).

■ Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or

gold-rimmed dishes in the microwave.

■ Recycled paper towels containing small

metal pieces being used in the microwave.

Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get super heated and not bubble at all.

Super heated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.

To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes per cup.

After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for 30 seconds before moving it or putting anything into it.

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 the container 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.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms, except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

WARNING!

SELF-CLEANING LOWER OVEN

■ Stand away from the oven when opening

the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■ Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■ Keep the cooking center clean and free

of accumulations of grease or spillovers, which may ignite.

■ Never leave the oven door open when you

are not watching the cooking center.

■ Place the oven shelf in the desired

position while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.

■ When using cooking or roasting bags

in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s

directions.

■ Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock

is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

■ Do not use the oven for a storage area.

Items stored in an oven can ignite.

■ Do not leave paper products, cooking

utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

■ After broiling, always take the broiler

pan out of the oven and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler pan can catch fire next time you use the oven.

■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings

in or near your oven.

■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s

Manual.

■ Do not clean the door gasket. The door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

■ Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial

oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove

the probe, broiler pan, grid and other cookware.

■ Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

starting a self-cleaning cycle.

■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,

turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

■ Listen for a fan—a fan noise should be

heard sometime during the cleaning cycle. If not, call for service before self-cleaning again.

Changing the microwave power level.

The power level may be entered or changed immediately after entering the feature time for Time Cook, Time Defrost or Express Cook. The power level may also be changed during time countdown.

To change the power level…

Press the TIME COOK pad or the DEFROST AUTO/TIME pad.

Enter cooking or defrosting time.

Press the POWER LEVEL pad.

Select desired power level 1–10.

Press the START/PAUSE pad.

Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven can be compared to the surface units on a range. 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.

■ Most cooking will be done on High

(power level 10) which gives you 100%

power. Power level 10 will cook faster but food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over.

A lower setting will cook more evenly and need less stirring or rotating of the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. 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:

■ 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 for stews and less tender cuts of meat.

■ Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering;

delicate sauces.

■ Warm 1: Keeping food warm; softening

butter.

Power level is automatically set at 3, but can be changed. You can defrost small items quickly by raising the power level after entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to approximately 1/3. However, food will need more frequent attention than usual.

Defrosting Tips

■ Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be

defrosted in the package. Closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be partially uncovered.

■ Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners

can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.

■ Foods that spoil easily should not be

allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

■ For more even defrosting of larger foods,

such as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking.

■ When defrosted, food should be cool but

softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.

Using the microwave sensor cooking features.

The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Sensor Cooking

■ The proper containers and covers are

essential for best sensor cooking.

■ Always use microwave-safe containers

and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

■ Be sure the outside of the cooking

containers and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

Popcorn

To use the Popcorn feature:

Follow package instructions, using Time Cook if the package is less than 1.75 ounces or larger than

3.5 ounces. Place the package of popcorn in the center of the microwave.

Press the POPCORN pad. The oven starts immediately.

If you open the door while POPCORN is displayed, ERROR will appear. Close the door, press the

CLEAR/OFF pad and begin again.

How to Adjust the Popcorn Program to Provide a Shorter or Longer Cook Time:

If you find that the brand of popcorn you use underpops or overcooks consistently, you can add or subtract 20–30 seconds to the automatic popping time.

To add time:

After pressing the POPCORN pad, press the 9 pad immediately after the oven starts for an extra 20 seconds. Press the 9 pad again to add another 10 seconds (total 30 seconds additional time).

To subtract time:

After pressing the POPCORN pad, press the 1 pad immediately after the oven starts for 20 seconds less cooking time. Press the 1 pad again to reduce cooking time another 10 seconds (total 30 seconds less time).

Microwave terms.

Arcing Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

■ the temperature probe staying in the oven but not inserted in the food.

■ metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

■ foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

■ metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.

■ recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.

Covering Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic

wrap or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.

Shielding In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent overbrowning. When

microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook before larger parts.

Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish

cooking or to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.

Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner

so excess steam can escape.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin…

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.

Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when cooking is complete.

NOTE: A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) C or D

Angel food cake, B bundt or pound cakes

Biscuits, muffins, brownies, C or D cookies, cupcakes, layer cakes, pies

Casseroles C or D

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. This may take approximately 10 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 11⁄2″ between pans, from the front, back and sides of the wall.

Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are essentially frying, not broiling.

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.

NOTE: The probe is for use in the lower oven only.

Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe.

Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the meat and outlet.

■ To avoid damaging your probe, do not use

tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.

■ To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is

completely defrosted before inserting.

■ To prevent possible burns, do not unplug

the probe from the outlet until the oven has cooled.

■ Never leave your probe inside the oven during

a self-cleaning cycle.

■ Do not store the probe in the cooking center.

The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes into the outlet in the oven.

After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or on the broiler pan grid, follow these directions for proper probe placement.

Lay the probe on the outside of the meat along the top or side and mark with your finger where the edge of the meat comes to on the probe. The point should rest in the center of the thickest meaty part of the roast.

Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.

For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.

Insert the probe into the center of dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles. When cooking fish, insert the probe from just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh from below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.

How to Set the Oven For Roasting When Using the Probe

Insert the probe into the meat.

Plug the probe into the outlet in the oven. Make sure it’s pushed all the way in. Close the oven door.

Press the PROBE pad.

Press the number pads to set the desired internal food or meat temperature. The maximum internal temperature for the food that you can set is 200°F.

Press the BAKE pad.

Press the number pads to set the desired oven temperature.

Press the START pad.

The display will flash if the probe is inserted into the outlet and you have not set a probe temperature and pressed the START pad.

When the oven starts to heat, the word LO will be in the display.

After the internal temperature of the meat reaches 100°F, the changing internal temperature will be shown in the display.

When the internal temperature of the meat reaches the temperature you have set, the probe and the oven turn off and the oven control signals. To stop the signal, press the CLEAR/OFF pad. Use hot pads to remove the probe from the food. Do not use tongs to pull on it—they might damage it.

To change the oven temperature during the Roast cycle, press the BAKE pad and then the number pads to set the new temperature.

■ If the probe is removed from the food before

the final temperature is reached, a tone will sound and the display will flash until the probe is removed from the oven.

■ You can use the timer even though

you cannot use timed oven operations.

Using the lower convection oven.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

Adapting Recipes…

You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven.

When baking, reduce baking temperature by 25°F.

■ Use pan size recommended.

■ Some package instructions for frozen casseroles

or main dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature on the package.

Convection Bake

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food.

This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time than with regular heat.

■ Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked

on multiple shelves.

■ Good for large quantities of baked foods.

■ Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins,

brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.

The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes.

Multi-Shelf Convection Baking

When convection baking with only 1 shelf, follow the shelf positions recommended in the Using the lower oven section.

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple shelves.

Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads give very good results with multi-shelf baking.

When baking on 3 shelves, place one shelf in the second (B) position, one in the fourth (D) position and one in the 6th (F) position.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular ovens can be used in convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F can also be used.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking.

■ Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake

faster than shiny pans.

■ Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.

How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting

Press the CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTION ROAST pad.

Press the number pads to set the desired oven temperature.

Press the START pad.

To change the oven temperature, press the CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTION ROAST pad and then the number pads to set the new temperature.

When the oven starts to heat, the changing temperature, starting at 100°F, will be displayed. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.

Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when finished.

NOTE:

■ You will hear a fan while cooking with

convection. The fan will stop when the door is opened but the heat will not turn off.

■ You may hear the oven clicking during baking.

This is normal.

Roasting rack

Grid

Post

Broiler pan

■ Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. Using the roasting rack provided, heated air will be circulated over, under and around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

When you are convection roasting, it is important that you use the broiler pan and grid and the special roasting rack for best convection roasting results. The

pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

Place the meat on the special roasting rack. The rack holds the meat. The rack allows the heated air to circulate under the meat and increase browning on the underside of the meat or poultry.

■ Place the shelf in the lowest shelf

position (A).

■ Place the grid on the broiler

pan and put the roasting rack over them, making sure the posts on the roasting rack fit into the holes in the broiler pan.

Adjust the lower oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it does not affect broiling, convection or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

To Adjust the Thermostat

Press the BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads at the same time for 3 seconds until the display shows SF.

Press the BAKE pad. A two-digit number shows in the display.

Press BAKE once to decrease (-) the oven temperature, or twice to increase (+).

The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+) 35°F hotter or (-) 35°F cooler. Press the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to change the oven temperature 15°F, press 1 and 5.

When you have made the adjustment, press the START pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.

NOTE: The thermostat adjustment for Baking will also affect Convection Baking and Convection Roasting.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Do not use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your microwave oven.

Removable Turntable and Turntable Support

To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable into water just after cooking. Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

The turntable and support can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate the microwave oven without the turntable and support in place.

To replace the support, place its center post in the hole. Turn the support around until it seats into place.

Inside

Keep the microwave 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.

Spills and spatters are easy to remove from walls and floor if they are wiped up soon after the food is removed. Some spatters wipe up with a paper towel, some may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse and dry.

Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad, causing electrical shock.

Wipe up spatters on the window on the inside of the door daily. When the window is soiled, wash it with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Wipe metal and plastic parts on the inside of the door frequently. Use a damp cloth to remove all soil.

Do not use abrasives, such as cleaning powders or steel and plastic pads. They may mar the surface.

Outside

Clean the outside of the microwave oven with soap and a damp cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth. Chrome is best wiped with a damp cloth and then with a dry towel.

Door Surface

When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket— it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

To clean the inside of the door:

■ Because the area inside the gasket is

cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand.

■ The area outside the gasket and

the door liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled steel wool or plastic pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the outside of the door:

■ Use soap and water to thoroughly

clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.

■ If any stain on the door vent trim is

persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.

■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices,

tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.

■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

Broiler Pan & Grid (lower oven)

Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a self-cleaning oven.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the grease from the pan into a proper container.

Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.

Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in the cooking center.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.

Oven Shelves and Convection Roasting Rack (lower oven)

Clean the oven shelves and the convection roasting rack with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves and rack with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

NOTE: The oven shelves and convection roasting rack may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will darken in color, lose their luster and become hard to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.

To make the shelves slide more easily, apply a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven shelves with the paper towel.
