About the sensor features.

Humidity Sensor

What happens when using the Sensor Feature:

The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

If food is under cooked after the countdown, use Cook Time for additional cooking time.

• 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 They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.
• Be sure the outside of the cooking container 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.

Care and cleaning of the microwave 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 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

Remember, do not operate the oven in the microwave mode without the turntable and support seated and in place.

How to Clean the Outside

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 (on some models)

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.

Bottom

Clean off the grease and dust on the bottom often. Use a solution of warm water and detergent.

Cooktop Light/Nite Light

Replace with a 120 volt, 40 watt (max.) halogen bulb. Order WB08X10051 from your GE Appliances supplier

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

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

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

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

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.

To Remove the Charcoal Filter

To remove the charcoal filter, first disconnect power at the main fuse or circuit breaker, or pull the plug. Push down 2 buttons on the filter door.

The charcoal filter should be replaced every 7 months when LED is on. See " Optional Kits" page 7.

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

To install a new charcoal filter, remove plastic and other outer wrapping from the new filter.

Insert the top of the filter up. Push the bottom of the filter in until it rests in place behind the tabs. Close filter door.
