■ To reduce the risk of fire
in the oven cavity:
– Do not overcook food.
Carefully attend appliance
if paper, plastic or other
combustible materials are
placed inside the oven
while cooking.
– Remove wire twist-ties and
metal handles from paper
or plastic containers before
placing them in the oven.
– Do not use the oven for
storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products,
cooking utensils or food in
the oven when not in use.
– If materials inside the oven
should ignite, keep the oven
door closed, turn the oven
off and disconnect the
power cord, or shut off
power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel. If the door is
opened, the fire may spread.
■ See door surface cleaning
instructions in the Care and
cleaning of the microwave
oven
section of this manual.
■ This appliance should be
serviced only by qualified
service personnel. Contact
nearest authorized service
facility for examination,
repair or adjustment.
■ As with any appliance, close
supervision is necessary
when used by children.
Arcing is the microwave term
for sparks in the oven. Arcing
is caused by:
■ The metal shelf not
installed correctly so it
touches the microwave wall.
■ 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 gold-
rimmed dishes, in the
microwave.
■ Recycled paper towels
containing small metal
pieces being used in the
microwave.
■ 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—will 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.

■ SUPERHEATED WATER
Microwaved water and other
liquids do not always bubble
when they reach the boiling
point. They can actually get
superheated and not bubble
at all.
Superheated liquid will bubble
up out of the cup when it is
moved or when something
like a spoon or tea bag is put
into it.
To prevent this from
happening and causing injury,
do not heat any liquid for
more than 2 minutes per cup.
After heating, let the cup
stand in the microwave for
30 seconds before moving it
or putting anything into it.
■ 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 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.
■ Spontaneous boiling—
Under certain special
circumstances, liquids may
start to boil during or
shortly after removal from
the microwave oven. To
prevent burns from
splashing liquid, we
recommend the following:
Before removing the
container from the oven,
allow the container to stand
in the oven for 30 to 40
seconds after the oven has
shut off. Do not boil liquids
in narrow-necked containers
such as soft drink bottles,
wine flasks and especially
narrow-necked coffee cups.
Even if the container is
opened, excessive steam
can build up and cause it
to burst or overflow.
■ 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.

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.

Troubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Information
■ “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.
■ Use foil only as directed in
this manual. TV dinners
may be microwaved in foil
trays less than 3/4″ 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″ 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.

About changing the
power level.
www.GEAppliances.com
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 100) 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 70 is microwave energy
70% of the time. Power level 30 is energy 30% of
the time.
A high setting (100) will cook faster but food may
need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning
over. Most cooking will be done on High (power
level 100). 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 30—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:
Power Level Best Uses
High 100 Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.
Med-High 70 Gentle cooking of meat and poultry;
baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 50 Slow cooking and tenderizing such as
stews and less tender cuts of meat.
Low 20 or 30 Defrosting without cooking;
simmering; delicate sauces.
Warm 10 Keeping food warm without
overcooking; softening butter.

Time Defrost
Allows you to defrost for the length of time you
select. See the Defrosting Guide for suggested times.
■ Use the shelf when defrosting items too large to
fit the turntable.
■ A dull thumping noise may be heard during
defrosting. This sound is normal when the oven
is not operating at High power.
■ The turntable cannot be turned off when
defrosting.
■ Once during Time Defrost, the oven signals
Turn Food Over. At the signal, turn the food over.
Remove defrosted meat or shield warm areas
with small pieces of foil.
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.

Microwave terms.
www.GEAppliances.com
Term Definition
Arcing Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is
caused by:
■ the metal shelf not installed correctly so that it touches
the microwave wall.
■ 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.
Helpful Hints
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.
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 without the
turntable and support in place.
Shelf
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.
Bottom
Clean off the grease and dust on the bottom often.
Use a solution of warm water and detergent.
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 and Door
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 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.

The Vent Fan
The vent fan has 2 metal reusable grease filters.
Models that recirculate air back into the room also
use a charcoal filter.
Reusable Grease 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
microwave.
For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in
place when the hood is used. The grease filters
should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.
Removing and Cleaning the Filter
To remove, slide to the rear using the tabs.
Pull 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 into the frame slot on the
back of the opening. Press up and to the front to
lock into place.

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 hood usage).
To Remove Charcoal Filter
To remove the charcoal filter, disconnect power
at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or pull
