both the outside and inside of the oven will become
hot. Always use hot pads to remove containers of food
and accessories such as the oven shelf.

■

Thermometer—

Do not use regular cooking or oven
thermometers when cooking by microwave or using
the

Fast Bake

mode. The metal and mercury in these

thermometers could cause

arcing

and possible damage
to the oven. Do not use a thermometer in food you are
microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or
recommended for use in the microwave oven.

■ Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn

off the pad and touch electrical parts involving risk of
electric shock.

■ Do not store any materials, other than our

recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.

■ Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this

product near water—for example, in a wet basement,
near a swimming pool, near a sink or in similar locations.

■ Keep power cord away from heated surfaces.

■ Do not immerse power cord or plug in water.

■ 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.

■ It is important to keep the area clean where the door

seals against the microwave. Use only mild, non-abrasive

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.

■

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 and
poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of
180°F. 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

or

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. When

using foil in the microwave oven, keep the foil at
least 1″ 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.

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. 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

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.

length of time.

Press the

button three times.

Turn the dial to select the time you
want. Press the dial to enter.

Press the

START/PAUSE

button to start

You may change the defrost time at any
time during defrosting by turning the dial.

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.

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

High

power.

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.

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.

ge.com

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, “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.

Recommended Foods

A wide variety of foods including meats, fish and vegetables can be cooked
using this feature.

Foods not recommended

Foods that must be cooked uncovered, foods that require constant attention, foods that
require addition of ingredients during cooking and foods calling for a dry look or crisp
surface after cooking should not be cooked using this feature. It is best to

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 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 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.

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) may be used, but it is not
recommended for foods requiring all-around browning, because the plastic is a poor
conductor of heat.

Care and cleaning of the oven.

Helpful Hints

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

Be sure the power is off before cleaning any part of this oven.

How to Clean the Inside

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.

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 in the microwave mode without
the turntable and support seated and in place.

Shelves

Clean with mild soap and water or in the dishwasher.

Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven.

How to Clean the Outside

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.

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, “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.

Replacing the light bulb.

Cooktop Light/Nite Light

Replace with a 120 volt, 40 watt (max.) halogen

bulb. Order WB08X10051 from your GE supplier.

To replace the cooktop light/nite light,
first disconnect the power at the main
fuse or circuit breaker panel, or pull
the plug.

Remove the screw from the side of the
light compartment cover and lower the
cover until it stops.

Be sure the bulb is cool before
removing. Break the adhesive seal
by gently unscrewing the bulb.

Screw in the new bulb, then raise the
light cover and replace the screw.
Connect electrical power to the oven.

CleanSteel

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
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.

About the exhaust feature.

Vent Fan

The vent fan has two metal reusable
vent filters.

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



Reusable Vent Filters

The metal filters trap grease released by
foods on the cooktop. They also prevent
flames from foods on the cooktop from
damaging the inside of the oven.

For this reason, the filters must always be
in place when the hood is used. The vent
filters should be cleaned once a month,
or as needed.

Removing and Cleaning the Filters

To remove,

slide them to the rear using the

tabs. Pull down and out.

To clean the vent filters, soak them and
then swish 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 dry before replacing.

To replace,

slide the filters into the frame
slots on the back of each opening. Press up
and to the front to lock into place.

Charcoal Filter

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

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 to 12 months, depending
on usage). See “Optional Kits,” page 7,
for more information.

To Remove the Charcoal Filter

To remove the charcoal filter,

first disconnect
power at the main fuse or circuit breaker,
or pull the plug. Remove the top grille
by removing the two screws that hold it
in place.

You may need to open the cabinet doors to

remove the screws.

Lift the filter at the bottom until it
comes free of the tabs. Slide the filter
down and out.



To Install the Charcoal Filter

To install a new charcoal filter,

remove
plastic and other outer wrapping from the
new filter.

Insert the top of the filter up and into the
grooves on the inside of the top opening.
Push the bottom of the filter in until it rests
in place behind the tabs.

Remove 2 grille screws to remove

the grille.
