IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
FOODS
n 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.
n 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.
n 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.
n 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.
n 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.
n 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.
n 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.
n 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.
n 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.
n Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate
and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.
n 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.”
n 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.
n 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.
n 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.
n If you use a meat thermometer while microwaving,
make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
n 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.
n 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.
n 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.
n Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.
n Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave
ovens. Check the package for proper use.
n 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.
n Cookware may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Pot holders
may be needed to handle the cookware.
n 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.
n 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.
n 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.

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: 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.
n Clean the underside of the microwave often.
Do not allow grease to build up on the microwave or
the fan filters.
n 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.
n Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive
cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may
damage the filters.
n When preparing flaming foods under the microwave,
turn the fan on.
n 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.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use.

Defrosting Guide
Weight Defrost
Allows you to defrost for a selected length
of time. See the Defrosting Guide for suggested
times. (Weight Defrost and 1 lb Quick Defrost
explained in the About the convenience features
section.)
1 Press DEFROST twice.
2 Enter defrosting time.
3 Press START.
4 Turn the food over after half the time.
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 High power.
Defrosting Tips
n
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.
n 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.
n 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.
n For more even defrosting of larger foods,
such as roasts, use Weight Defrost. Be sure
large meats are completely defrosted before
cooking.
n 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. GEAppliances.com
Changing the Power Level
The power level may be entered or changed
after entering the time for Time Cook.
1 Press TIME COOK button once.
2 Enter cooking time.
3 Enter POWER LEVEL when prompted.
4 Press START.
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, boiling 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.
NOTE: You can also change the power level
during many cooling modes by pressing the
power level button entering a valid power level.:

About the sensor microwave features.
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.
n The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.
n 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.
n 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.
Vented
Covered
19
Arcing Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
n metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
n foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).
n metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.
n 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 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 (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.

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.

Things That Are Normal With Your Microwave Oven
n Moisture on the oven door and walls while
cooking. Wipe the moisture off with a
paper towel or soft cloth.
n Moisture between the oven door panels
when cooking certain foods. Moisture
should dissipate shortly after cooking is
finished.
n Steam or vapor escaping from around the
door.
n Light reflection around door or
outer case.
n Dimming oven light and change in
the blower sound at power levels other
than high.
n Dull thumping sound while oven is
operating.
n 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.
