w WARNING!
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following:
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This microwave oven is not approved or tested for marine use.
• Read and follow the specific “Precautions to Avoid Possible
Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy” above.
• This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly
rounded outlet. See Grounding Instructions section on page 4.
• Do not mount this appliance over a sink.
• Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the
provided Installation Instructions.
• Be certain to place the front surface of the door three inches or
more back from the countertop edge to avoid accidental tipping
of the appliance in normal usage.
• Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
• 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.
• Do not let power cord hang over edge of table or counter.
• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
— Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when 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 oven 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
section(s) of this manual.
• GE does not support any servicing of the microwave. We strongly
recommend that you do not attempt to service the microwave
yourself.
• As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used
by children.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT
MICROWAVING
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.
ARCING
— After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven
for a short time before removing the container.
If you see arcing, press the STOP/CLEAR pad and correct the problem.
— Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the
container.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is
caused by:
• 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.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
SAFETY FACT
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.
• 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
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 1 minute 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT
MICROWAVING (CONT.)
• 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.
• “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:
1 Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance
with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations.
2 Do not microwave empty containers.
3 Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without
complete supervision.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
w WARNING!
PREFERRED
METHOD
Improper use of the grounding plug
can result in a risk of electric shock.
This appliance must be grounded.
Ensure proper ground
In the event of an electrical short circuit,
exists before use.
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.
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet
to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit
breaker.

adapter plug. However, if you still
elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall
receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter which is available at most
local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot
in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection
of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the
wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is
grounded through the house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the
adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal
is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT
USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if you are careful in using them.
If an extension cord is used—
1 The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
2 The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it
must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet;
3 The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower
sound may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be
longer, too.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY
INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected
frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequent
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter
and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You
should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a
three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician
before using the appliance.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Changing Power Levels
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. Power level Hi
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 7 is
microwave energy 70% of the time. Power
level 3 is energy 30% of the time.
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.
A high setting will cook faster but food
may need more frequent stirring, rotating
or turning over. Most cooking will be done
on power level Hi. A lower setting will cook
more evenly and need less stirring or
rotating of the food.
Power Level
Best Uses
Hi
Fish, bacon, vegetables,
boiling liquids.
Med-High 7
Gentle cooking of meat and
poultry; baking casseroles
and reheating.
Medium 5
Slow cooking and
tenderizing such as
stews and less tender
cuts of meat.
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.
Here are some examples of uses for
various power levels:
Low 2 or 3
Defrosting without cooking;
simmering; delicate sauces.
Warm 1
Keeping food warm without
overcooking; softening
butter.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Time Features (cont.)
Time Defrost
Allows you to defrost for a selected length
of time. See the Defrosting Guide for
suggested times (AUTO DEFROST
explained in the Auto Feature section).
1. Press TIME DEFROST.
2. Enter defrosting time.
3. Press START/PAUSE.
4. Turn the food over after half the time.
5. Press START/PAUSE.
At one half of selected defrosting time, turn
food over and break apart or rearrange
pieces for more even defrosting. Shield any
warm areas with small pieces of foil. The
oven will continue to defrost if you don’t
open the door and turn the food.
A dull thumping noise may be heard
during defrosting. This is normal when
oven is not operating at Hi 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.
• 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.

HELPFUL INFORMATION
Microwave Terms
Term
Definition
Arcing
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
• 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.
Care and Cleaning
Helpful Hints
An occasional thorough wiping with
a solution of baking soda and water
keeps the inside fresh.
UNPLUG THE CORD BEFORE CLEANING
ANY PART OF THIS OVEN.
How to Clean the Inside
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and
Plastic Parts on the Door
Never use a commercial oven cleaner
on any part of your microwave.
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. To clean
the surface of the door and the surface
of the oven that come together upon
closing, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps
or detergents using a sponge or soft
cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry.
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.

HELPFUL INFORMATION
How to Clean the Outside
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 Surface
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.
Do not use cleaners containing
ammonia or alcohol on the
microwave oven. Ammonia or
alcohol can damage the
appearance of the microwave.
Power Cord
If the cord becomes soiled, unplug
and wash with a damp cloth. For
stubborn spots, sudsy water may be
used, but be certain to rinse with a
damp cloth and dry thoroughly before
plugging cord into outlet.
