IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
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:

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.

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
How to test for a
FXSRIZDWHU³VHWWKH
microwave-safe dish.
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 foam packing 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:

³'RQRWFRYHUWKHVKHOIRUDQ\SDUWRIWKHRYHQZLWK
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.
3ODVWLFFRRNZDUH³3ODVWLFFRRNZDUHGHVLJQHGIRU
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
1 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Ensure proper ground
exists before use.

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.

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.

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.

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.

PACEMAKERS
Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. However,
patients with pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Easy clean-up.

Convection Baking and Convection Roasting
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.

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

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.

Turn the dial clockwise to increase and

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 3³
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.

Microwave terms.
Term

Definition

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.
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.

Covering
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.

GEAppliances.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.

severely overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked after the countdown, use Cook Time 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.

Covered

Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never

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.

About the baking and roasting features.
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.
Correct shelf position

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.
See the Cookware Tips section for information on suggested cookware.

Cookware tips.
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.

Reusable vent filters
(on all models).

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.

Charcoal Filter
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must

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.

Things That Are Normal With Your Microwave Oven
Moisture on the oven door and walls while
cooking. Wipe the moisture off with a
paper towel or soft cloth.
Moisture between the oven door panels
when cooking certain foods. Moisture
should dissipate shortly after cooking is
finished.
Steam or vapor escaping from around the
door.
Light reflection around door or
outer case.
Dimming oven light and change in
the blower sound at power levels other
than high.
Dull thumping sound while oven is
operating.
The vent fan operating while the
microwave is operating. The vent fan will
not go off nor can it be turned off until the
microwave is off.
Warm, convection bake, convection
roast and combination fast bake have a
maximum cooking time of 179 minutes
(2 hours and 59 minutes). When the
maximum cooking time is reached, the
oven will automatically indicate that
cooking is complete and turn off the
cooking element.

When using convection bake, convection
roast or combination fast bake with a
preheat, the oven door must be opened
and the cooking time set after preheat or
the oven will turn off the cooking element
after 1 hour.
TV-radio interference might be noticed
while using the microwave. Similar
to the interference caused by other small
appliances, it does not indicate a problem
with the microwave. Plug the microwave
into a different electrical circuit, move
the radio or TV as far away from the
microwave as possible
or check the position and signal of
the TV/radio antenna.
