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

PRECAUTIONSTOAVOIDPOSSIBLEEXPOSURETOEXCESSIVE MICROWAVEENERGY

Do not attempt to operate this oxen with tile door open since open-door operation can result in ha_3nflll exposure to microwaxe energ?'. It is important not to

defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

Do not place any object between the oxen flont face and file door or allow soil or

cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing

Slliqqaces,

The oxen should not be adjusted oi repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

Do not operam file ox>n if it is damaged. It is particularly important fllat file oven door close properly and that there is no damag_ to the:

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement 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.

Toreduce the risk of fire in the ovencavity:

Do not o_rcook food. Carefillly attend

appliance if pat)el, plastic or oilier

combustible mamlials are placed inside

file oxen to/2acilitam cooking. Remoxe wire twist-ties from paper or

plastic containers before placing bags

iI1 o\.en.

Do not use your microwax.e ox.en to di T

newspapers.

Do not pop popcorn ill your microwm.e ox.en unless in a special microwave popcorn accesso U or unless yon use

popcorn labeled for use in microwm.e

ox.ens.

Do not ox.ercook potatoes. They could dehydiam and catch fire, causing damag.e

to your oven.

Do not operam the oven while empty to

ax_id damage to tile oven and the dang.er of fire. If by accident the ox.en should run empty a minum or two, no harm is done.

Howex.eI; tiT to avoid operating tile ox.en empty at any time--it saves energy' and

prolong:s the life of the ox.en.

Do not use tile oven for smrag.e puq)oses.

Do not leax.e paper products, cooking utensils or food in the ox.en when not

ill rise.

If mamrials inside the oven should ig_lim, kee I) oven door closed, turn ox.en off

and shut off power at the fllse or ciIvuit breaker panel. If the door is opened,

the rit.e may spread.

This microwax.e ox.en is not approx.ed or

tesmd for marine use.

Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers for example, closed

jaw will explode and should not be

heated ill this microwax.e ox.en. Such use

of tile microwax.e ox.en could I.esult ill iI)jnl'y.

Do not operate the microwm.e oven without the turntable and support ill place.

Avoid heating baby food ill glass jars, ex.en with tile lid off'. Make sure all iIffant food

is thorouOlly cooked. Stir food to distribum file heat evenly. Be careflll to piex.ent scalding when warming formula or breast milk. Tile container may feel cooler than the milk really is. Always rest

the milk befoi.e feeding the baby. Do not boil eggs in a microwave ox.en.

Piessure will build up inside the egg

yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly

resulting ill iI)jnry.

Foods wifll unbroken outer "skill" such

as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples,

egg yolks, chicken lix.ers and oilier giblets

should be pierced to allow steam to escape

during cooking.

Don't defrost frozen bex.erag,es ill

naiTow-necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure call build

up. This call cause file container to burst, possibly resulting ill injm T.

Hot foods and steam can cause bums.

Be careflll when opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injm T, dii.ect steam away flom

WARNING'!

MICROWAVE-SAFECOOKWARE

Make sure aft 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."

ff you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this rest: Place in the men 1)oth the dish

you are testing and a glass measuring cup flled with 1 cup of wamr--set the measuring cup either in or next m the dish. Microwa\e 33-43 seconds at high./f tim dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving.

/f the dish remains cool and only the wamr in

the cup heats, then the dish is micmwa\e-safe.

/f you use a meat thermomemr while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in

I]IicI'owa\_ O\_IIS.

Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cm_se arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be a\_ided, since they may also ignite.

Some Styrofoam tm)'s (like those that meat is packaged on) ha\e a thin suip

of metal eml)edded in the 1)ottom. When microwa\ed, the metal can 1)urn the floor of the o\'en or ignim a paper towel.

Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwa\e o\ens. Check the package for

proper use. Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic

wrap can be used m co\er dishes in order m retain moisture and pre\>nt spatmring. Be sure m \>nt plastic wrap so smam can escape.

Oversized food or oversized metal cookware should not be used in a micmwa\e men. Elecuical shock or fire could occm:

X,\]file paper plains may be used for timed cooking and deflosting, do not use them with Aura Sensor cooking. Use micmwa\v- safe plains or bowls for reheating. Co\_r with plastic wrap.

Cookware may 1)ecome hot 1)ecause of heat transferred fiom the heated food.

Pot holders may be needed to handle

the cookware.

"goilable" cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or \'ented as directed by package./f they are not, plastic could 1)urst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resuhing in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially unco\_red

1)ecause they form a tight seal. X,\]mn cooking with containers tightly co\ered with plastic wrap, rename co\ering carefiflly and direct smam awW fiom hands and face.

Use foil only as directed in this manual. TV dinners mW be microwa\_d in foil uays less

than 3/4" high; remo\e the top foil co\er and return the uW to the box. When using foil in the micmwa\'e o\'en, kee I) the foil at least I inch away fiom the sides of the men.

Plastic cookware - Plastic cookwa_e designed for microwa\'e cooking is \_Y

usefifl, but should be used carefiflly. Even microwa\'e-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of o\ercooking conditions as ate glass or ceramic mamrials, and m W soften or char if subjecmd to short periods of o\ercooking. In long>r exposures m o\ercooking, the food and cookware could ignim.

Followtheseguidelines:

Use microwme_afe plastics only

[]

and use flmm in suict compliance

with the cookware manufacttHe_ s

recommendations.

[] Do not microwave empty containers

[] Do not permit children to use

plastic cookware without complete supervision.

ARCING

If Vousee arcing, press the CLEAR/OFFpad and correct the problem.

ge.com

Arcing is the microwave term forsparks in the oven.Arcing is caused by:

Metal or foil touching tile side of tile oven.

Foil not molded to food (upturned edges

act like antennas).

Metal, such as twist-ties, pouluy' pins or gold-rimmed dishes in tile microwax_.

Recycled paper towels containing small

metal pieces being used in file microwax>.

SUPERHEATEDWATER

Microwaved water and other liquids do not alwavs bubble when thev reach the boiling point.

Thev can actually get super heated and not bubble at all.

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

To i)_exent this flom happening and causing injmT, do not heat any liquid for more than 9 minums per cup.

After heating, let tile cup stand in the microwme for 30 seconds befoie moving it or putung anything into it.

Spontaneousboiling

Under certain special circumstances, liquids

mag start to bo# during or shortly after removal

from the microwave oven.

To prevent burns flom splashing liquid, we iecommend tile following befoie iemoving

the container flom file oxen:

Allow file container to stand in file oxen

for 30 to 40 seconds after tile oxen has

shut off'.

Do not boil liquids in narrow-necked containeis such as soft drink bottles, wine

flasks and especially naiTow-necked coffbe cups. Even if the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and cause

it to burst or overfloxx¢
