Thermometer--Do not use regular cooking or oven
thermometers when cooking by microwave. Themetal and mercury in these thermometers could cause
arcing and possibledamage to the oven. Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving unless
the thermometer is designedor recommended for use in the microwave oven.
Donot clean with metal scouring pads. Piecescan burn off
the pad and touch electrical parts involving risk of electric shock.
Donot store any materials, other than our recommended
accessories,inthis ovenwhen not in use.
Donot store this appliance outdoors. Donot usethis
product near water-for example,in a wet basement, near a swimming pool,near a sink or in similar locations.
Keeppower cord away from heated surfaces. Donot immerse power cord or plug in water.

SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS
ARCING
If you see arcing, press the Clear/Off pad and correct the problem.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparksin the oven. Arcing is caused by:
Themetal rack not installed correctly so it touches the microwave wall.
Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
Turntable ring support not installedcorrectly.
Foilnot molded to food (upturned edgesact likeantennas).
Metal,such astwist-ties, poultry pins or gold-rimmed dishes,inthe microwave.
Recycledpaper towels containing small metal pieces being used inthe microwave.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
FOODS
Donot pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unlessyou use popcorn labeled for use
in microwave ovens.
Donot boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressurewill build up insideegg yolk and will cause itto 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 ofthe oven.
Foodswith unbroken outer "skin"such as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages,tomatoes, apples,chicken livers
and other giblets, and egg yolksshould be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Superheated water Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea, are able to
be overheated begond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visiblebubbling or boiling
when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not alwags present. This could result in verg
hot liquids suddenlg boiling over when the container is disturbed or a spoon or other utensil is inserted into the liquid.
Toreduce the riskof injury to persons:
- Do not overheat the liquid.
- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
Foodscooked in liquids(such as pasta) may tend to boil more rapidly than foods containing less
moisture. Shouldthis occur,refer to the Care and cleaning of theoven sectionfor instructions
on how to clean the insideof the oven. Avoid heating baby food in glassjars, even with
the lidoff. Makesureall infant food isthoroughly cooked.Stir food to distribute the heat evenly.
Be careful to prevent scalding when warming formula. The container may feelcooler than
the formula really is.Always test the formula before feeding the baby.
Don't defrost frozen beveragesinnarrow-necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages).Even
if the container isopened, pressurecan build up.
This can cause the container to burst, possibly
resulting in injury. Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Becareful
when opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags,cooking pouches and boxes.To
prevent possibleinjury, 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 INTERNALtemperature of 160°F
and poultry to at leastan INTERNALtemperature of 180°F.Cookingto these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness.
- Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
- After heating,allow the container to stand inthe microwave oven for a short time before removing
the container.
- Useextreme carewhen inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
Do not operate the oven in the microwave mode without the turntable and the turntable support seated and in place. The turntable must be unrestricted so it can rotate.
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
"suitablefor microwaving:'
If you are not sure if a dish ismicrowave-safe, usethis test: Placein the oven both
the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup
filledwith i cup of water- set the measuring cup

either in or next to the dish.Microwave 50-45 secondsat 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 ismicrowave-safe. Oversizedfood or oversizedmetal cookware
should not be usedin a microwave oven because they increase the risk of electric shock and could
cause a fire. Sometimes the oven floor,turntable and walls
can become too hot to touch. Becareful touching the floor,turntable and walls during and after cooking.
If you use a meat thermometer while microwaving, make sure it issafe for usein microwave ovens.
Do not userecycled 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.
Somestyrofoam trays (likethose that meat ispackaged on) hove o thin strip of metal
embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor ofthe oven or
ignite a paper towel. Useof the rack accessory:
-- Removethe rock from the oven when not in use.
-- Usepot holders when handling the rack and cookware.They may be hot,
-- Besurethat the rack ispositioned properly inside
the oven to prevent product damage.
- Do not cover the rack or any part of the oven
with metal foil.Thiswill cause overheating of the microwave oven.
Not all plastic wrap issuitable for usein microwave
ovens.Checkthe package for proper use.
Papertowels,waxed paper and plastic wrap can
be usedto cover dishesin order to retain moisture and prevent spattering while microwaving. Besure
to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape. Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be neededto handle the cookware.
iiiilDiiii
When microwaving "bailable" cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags,they should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package. Ifthey are not, plasticcould burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered becausethey form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.
Usefoil only as directed in this manual. When using foil in the microwave oven, keepthe foil at least 1" away from the sides of the oven.
iiiilDiiii
Plasticcookware-Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking isvery useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glossor ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periodsof overcooking.
Inlonger exposures to overcooking,the food and cookware could ignite.
Follow theseguidelines:
[] Usemicrowave-safe plastics only and use
them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer's recommendations.
F_Do not microwave empty containers.
_JDo not permit children to useplastic cookware
without complete supervision.
Do not useyour microwave oven to dry newspapers.

When preparing flaming foods under the microwave oven,turn the fan on.
Never leavesurface units beneath your microwave oven unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spilloversthat may ignite and spread if the microwave vent fan is
operating. Tominimize automatic fan operation, useadequate sizedcookware and use high heat
on surface units only when necessary.

PACEMAKERS
ge.com
All microwave ovens must meet Federal DHHS and FCCrequirements. However,the operation
of some pacemakers may be affected by microwaves. Cognizantof this problem, most pacemaker
manufacturers have taken stepsto minimize the susceptibility of their products to external
interference, including microwaves. Most new pacemakers (1982and later)are now protected
from microwave interference. However,prior to using your microwave oven it is recommended
that personswith pacemakers consult the manufacturer of the device for additional information
and/or their physician to ensuretheir pacemaker will not be affected by microwaves.
