IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

FOODS

■ 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 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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may

tend to boil more rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care and cleaning of the microwave oven section for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

■ 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. The container may feel cooler than the formula really is. Always test the formula before feeding the baby.

■ 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.

■ 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 (70°C) and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F (82°C). Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

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 “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.

■

Oversized food or oversized metal cookware should not be used in a microwave/convection 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. Be careful touching the floor, turntable and walls during and after cooking.

■ If you use a meat thermometer while

microwaving or using the FAST BAKE

mode

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.

■ Use of the shelf accessory:

— Remove the shelf from the oven when

not in use.

— Use pot holders when handling the shelf and

cookware. They may be hot.

— Be sure that the shelf is positioned properly

inside the oven to prevent product damage.

— Do not cover the shelf or any part of the oven

with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the microwave/convection oven.

■ Do not use your microwave/convection oven

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 while microwaving. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

■

Do not use paper products when the microwave/ convection oven is operated in the

BAKE

, ROAST

FAST BAKE

mode.

■ Cookware may become hot because of heat

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

■ When microwaving “boilable” cooking pouches

and tightly closed plastic bags, they 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” (2 cm) 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” (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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.

WARNING!

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

THE VENT FAN

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.

Microwave Cooking

Convection Baking and Convection Roasting

Warming

The warming feature will keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. Use cookware and utensils that can withstand temperatures up to 230°F.

During baking or roasting, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 225°F to 450°F (107°C to 230°C) may be programmed. A fan gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich moist interiors. This circulation of heated air is called convection.

Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around the food, some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.

Your oven uses microwave energy to cook by a set time or weight, or automatically by sensor.

Sensor microwave works by detecting the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Cooking Method

Microwave energy and convection heat combine to cook foods up to 25% faster than regular ovens, while browning and sealing in juices.

Heat Source

Microwave energy and circulating heated air.

Heat Conduction

Food heats from instant energy from penetration and heat conducted from outside of food.

Benefits

Shortened cooking time from microwave energy, plus browning and crisping from convection heat.

Always use the shelf with Fast Bake. For best results, use one shelf in the lower position. For two-level cooking only, use both shelves.

Combination Fast Baking

Your oven also offers the option of Combination Fast Bake, using microwave energy along with convection cooking. You cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.

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.

About changing the power level.

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

First, follow directions for Time Cook, Time Defrost or Express Cook.

Press the POWER button.

Turn the dial clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease the power level. Press the dial to enter.

Press the START/PAUSE button to start cooking.

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, heating 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.

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

■ the metal shelf being installed incorrectly and touching the microwave walls.

■ 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.

■ the turntable ring support being installed incorrectly.

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.

About the sensor microwave features. www.GEAppliances.ca

Humidity Sensor

What happens when using the Sensor 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.

Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession on the same food portion—it may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked after the countdown, use Time Cook for additional cooking time.

NOTE: Sensor features will not operate when the oven is hot. If one of the sensor cooking buttons is pressed when the temperature inside the oven is greater than 200°F (93°C), “OVEN TOO HOT FOR SENSOR COOKING---USING ALTERNATE METHOD” will be displayed. The oven will automatically change to cook by time (follow the directions in the display) or once the oven is cool enough, the sensor features will function normally.

■ 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.

Dry off dishes so they don’t mislead the sensor.

REHEAT

Baking or roasting uses a heating element to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 225°F to 450°F (107°C to 230°C) may be set. A fan gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich, moist interiors. This circulation of heated air is called convection.

Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around the food, some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.

For Best Results…

Use one shelf in the lower position and leave at least a 1-inch (2.5 cm) gap between the cooking dish and the sides of the oven. For two-level cooking only, use both shelves.

The shelf is required for good air circulation and even browning.

See the Cookware Tips section for information on suggested cookware.

Convection Bake or Roast

Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially where browning is important.

Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper crust.

Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or muffins because they reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust.

Glass or Glass-Ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.

Combination Fast Bake

Glass or Glass-Ceramic baking containers are recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven shelf. This can damage the cookware, the shelf or the oven.

Heat-Resistant Plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450°F/230°C) may be used, but it is not recommended for foods requiring all-around browning, because the plastic is a poor conductor of heat.
