SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT MICROWAVING

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

• The metal shelf (if included) not installed correctly so it touches the microwave wall.

• The temperature probe (if included) in the microwave but not inserted in the food.

• 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 goldrimmed dishes, in the microwave.

• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.

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

ARCING

• 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.

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

• 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.

• Operating the microwave with no food inside for more than a minute or two may cause damage to the oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat around the magnetron and can shorten the life of the oven.

• Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

FOODS

Page 6

SAFETY FACT

SUPERHEATED WATER Liquids, such as water,

coffee or tea, are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

— Do not overheat the

liquid.

— Stir the liquid both

before and halfway through heating it.

— Do not use straight-

sided containers with narrow necks.

— After heating, allow the

container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

— Use extreme care when

inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

• 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 narrownecked 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.

• Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F (71°C) and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F (82°C). Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

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 30–45 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, as 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.

• Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers.

• 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.

• 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.

MICROWA VESAFE COOKWARE

How to test for a microwave-safe dish.

Page 8

• Use foil only as directed in this manual. When using foil in the microwave oven, keep the foil at least 1” (2.5 cm) 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.

The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions (see Automatic Fan feature). Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.

• Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow grease to build up on the microwave or the fan filters.

• In the event of a grease fire on the surface units below the microwave oven, smother a flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

• Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filters.

• When preparing flaming foods under the microwave, turn the fan on.

• Never leave surface units beneath your microwave oven unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the microwave vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.

Operating Instructions

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. 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 food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. Most cooking will be done on High (power level

10). 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 micro-wave 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 2 or 3

Defrosting without cooking; simmering; delicate sauces.

Warm 1

Keeping food warm without overcooking; softening butter.

How to Change the 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.

1 Press TIME COOK or

select Time Defrost.

2 Enter cooking or

Time Features

Allows you to defrost for the length of time you select. See the Defrosting Guide for suggested times.

Power level 3 is automatically set, but you may change this for more flexibility. You may defrost small items more quickly by raising the power level after entering the time. However, they will need more frequent attention than usual.

Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to approximately 1/3. Rotate or stir food frequently.

At one half of selected defrosting time, the oven signals TURN. At this time, turn food over and break apart or rearrange pieces for more even defrosting. Shield any warm areas with small pieces of foil.

A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting. This sound is normal when the oven is not operating at High power.

Defrosting Tips

• Foods frozen in paper or

plastic can be defrosted in the package. Tightly closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be at least 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, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork, 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 beef, lamb and veal 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.

How to Use the Shelf When Microwaving

Food microwaves best when placed on the turntable.

Only use the shelf when reheating on more than one level. Do not store the shelf inside the oven cavity.

• To reheat on 2 levels

• To reheat 2 dishes on the

lower level:

Multiply reheat time by 1½.

Switch places after ½ the time.

• Make sure the shelf is positioned properly inside the microwave to prevent damage to the oven from arcing.

• Do not use a microwave browning dish on the shelf. The shelf could overheat.

• Do not use the oven with the shelf on the microwave floor. This could damage the microwave.

• Use pot holders when handling the shelf— it may be hot.

• Do not use the shelf when cooking popcorn.

• Do not use the shelf with Sensor Cooking or Reheat.

Helpful Information

Microwave Terms

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 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 over-browning. 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.

Care and Cleaning

An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.

NOTE: Be certain the power is off before cleaning any part of this oven.

Helpful Hints

Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on the Door

Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls.

Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your microwave.

Shelf (if included)

Clean with mild soap and water or in the dishwasher.

Do not clean in a selfcleaning 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 oven without the turntable and support in place.

Temperature Probe (if included)

Clean immediately after using. To clean, wipe with a sudsy cloth, then rub lightly with a plastic scouring ball if necessary. Rinse and dry. The probe can also be washed in the dishwasher.

How to Clean the Inside

Helpful Information

Care and Cleaning

Case

Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth. Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.

Control Panel

Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the control panel.

Door Panel

Before cleaning the front door panel, make sure you know what type of panel you have. Refer to the eighth digit of the model number. “S” is stainless steel, "G" is Graphite, “L” is CleanSteel and “B”, “W” or “C” are plastic colors.

Stainless Steel

The stainless steel panel can be cleaned with Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth. Apply stainless cleaner carefully to avoid the surrounding plastic parts. Do not use appliance wax, polish,

bleach or products containing chlorine on Stainless Steel finishes.

CleanSteel or Graphite

Use a clean, soft, light and lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products containing any chemical agent on the CleanSteel or Graphite surfaces.

Plastic Color Panels

Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly.

Door Seal

It’s important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the microwave. Use only mild, non-abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

Bottom

Clean off the grease and dust on the bottom often. Use a solution of warm water and detergent.

We recommend against using cleaners with ammonia or alcohol, as they can damage the appearance of the microwave oven. If you choose to use a common household cleaner, first apply the cleaner directly to a clean cloth, then wipe the soiled area.

The Exhaust Feature

The vent fan has 1 metal reusable grease filter.

Models that recirculate air back into the room also use a charcoal filter.

The Vent Fan

Charcoal Filter

(on some models)

Reusable Grease Filter

(on all models)

The metal filter traps grease released by foods on the cooktop. It also prevents flames from foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the microwave.

For this reason, the filter must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is used. The grease filter should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.

Reusable Grease Filter

To remove, slide it to the rear using the tab. Pull it down and out.

To clean the grease filter,

soak it and then swish it around in hot water and detergent. Don’t use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the metal. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt.

Rinse, shake and let it dry before replacing.

To replace, slide the filter in the frame slot on the back of the opening. Pull up and to the front to lock into place.

Removing and Cleaning the Filter

Page 35

If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors.

The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6–12 months, depending on hood usage). See “Optional Kits,” page 9, for more information.

The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. Order Part No. WB02X10943 from your GE supplier.

Charcoal Filter (on some models)

To remove the charcoal filter, disconnect power at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or pull the plug.

Remove the top grille by removing the 2 screws that hold it in place. Pull the filter at the bottom until it comes free of the locking tabs. Slide the filter down and out.

To Remove Charcoal Filter
