Consumer Support (c) Do Not Operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), ■ Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by General Electric Service or an authorized service agent using a power cord available from General Electric. ■ Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance. ■ Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This microwave oven is specifically designed to heat, dry or cook food, and is not intended for laboratory or industrial use. ■ This microwave oven is not approved or tested for marine use. ■ 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 the 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 of the microwave oven section of this manual. ■ This appliance must only be serviced 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. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS www.GEAppliances.ca ARCING If you see arcing, press CLEAR/OFF and correct the problem. Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by: ■ Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas). ■ The metal shelf installed incorrectly so it touches the microwave wall. ■ Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or goldrimmed dishes, in the microwave. ■ Metal or foil touching the side of the oven. ■ Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave. ■ When microwaving, place all foods and containers on the glass microwave turntable. ■ 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. — 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. ■ 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. ■ 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. ■ 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. ■ 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. ■ 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. Consumer Support ■ 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. ■ 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. Troubleshooting Tips To reduce the risk of injury to persons: ■ 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. Operating Instructions FOODS Safety Instructions WARNING! Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. WARNING! MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE Make sure to use suitable cookware during microwave cooking. 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.” ■ Place food or microwavable container directly on the glass turntable to cook your food. Operating Instructions ■ Use of the black metal tray during microwave cooking will result in inferior cooking performance. ■ 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. Troubleshooting Tips ■ 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 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. Consumer Support ■ 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. ■ Do not use paper products when the microwave/convection oven is operated in the convection or combination mode. ■ 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 guide. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4w 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 1w 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. ■ 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. 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. www.GEAppliances.ca ■ Use the black metal tray when grilling, convection or combination cooking. Use the tray in the same way you would use a shallow baking pan or baking tray. Place food, oven-safe cookware or the rack directly on the black metal tray when cooking. ■ Use of the rack: ■ Use of the glass turntable when grilling, convection or combination cooking will result in inferior cooking performance. — Use pot holders or oven mitts when handling the rack. It may be hot. ■ Any non-metal, oven-safe dish can be used when combination cooking in the oven. Any oven-safe dish can be used when grilling or convection cooking. ■ The oven and door will get hot when grilling, convection or combination cooking. ■ Cookware will become hot when grilling, convection or combination cooking. Pot holders or oven mitts will be needed to handle the cookware. — Place dish directly on the rack. — Remove the rack from the oven when not in use. — Be sure that the rack is positioned properly inside the oven to prevent product damage. — Do not cover the rack or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven. Operating Instructions ■ Do not cover the black metal tray with metal foil in combination mode. This will cause arcing in the oven. — For convection two level baking only. ■ During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials contact the top heating element or guard. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. Allow sufficient time for cooling first. ■ Remove cookware completely from the oven before turning food. Troubleshooting Tips ■ Do not use paper towels or coverings, containers or cooking/roasting bags made of foil or other reflective material, plastic, wax or paper when grilling, convection or combination cooking. ■ Do not place food directly against the top or bottom heating elements. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. 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. 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. 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. We do not recommend using 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. (See EXTENSION CORDS section.) Consumer Support 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. Safety Instructions GRILLING, CONVECTION & COMBINATION SAFETY For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker. Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. EXTENSION CORDS 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. Operating Instructions If an extension cord is used— The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance; The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet; 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.

The power level may be entered or changed immediately after entering the time for Time Cook, Combination, Time Defrost or Express Cook. The power level may also be changed during time countdown. First, follow directions for Time Cook, Time Defrost or Express Cook. Press the POWER/TEMP button. Enter the desired power level 1–10. Press the START/PAUSE button to start cooking. 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. Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support 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. Operating Instructions About changing the microwave power level. Safety Instructions About the time and auto microwave features. Time Cook Time Cook I Time Cook II Allows you to microwave for any time up to 99 minutes. Lets you change power levels automatically during cooking. Here’s how to do it: Power level 10 (High) is automatically set, but you may change it for more flexibility.

Safety Instructions Cooking Guide for Microwave Time Cook Safety Instructions About the time and auto microwave features. Time Defrost Use Time Defrost to defrost for a selected length of time. Press the DEFROST button twice. Press the START/PAUSE button to start defrosting. Turn the food over if the oven signals TURN FOOD OVER. Enter the defrosting time. Operating Instructions Power level is automatically set at 3, but can be changed. You can defrost small items quickly by raising the power level after entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to approximately 1/3. However, food will need more frequent attention than usual. A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting. This is normal when oven is not operating at High power. Make sure the turntable support and glass turntable are in place when microwaving. 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. Auto Defrost Troubleshooting Tips Use Auto Defrost for meat, poultry and fish. Use Time Defrost for most other frozen foods. Auto Defrost automatically sets the defrosting times and power levels to give even defrosting results for meats, poultry and fish. Consumer Support ■ Remove meat from package and place on microwave-safe dish. Press the DEFROST button once. Press the START/PAUSE button to start defrosting. Turn the food over if the oven signals TURN FOOD OVER. Enter the food weight, using the Conversion Guide at right. For example, press 1.2 for 1.2 pounds (1 pound, 3 oz.). ■ Remove defrosted meat or shield warm areas with small pieces of foil. ■ After defrosting, most meats need to stand 5 minutes to complete defrosting. Large roasts should stand for about 30 minutes. 12 Make sure the turntable support and glass turntable are in place when microwaving.

Troubleshooting Tips Food Type Consumer Support 19 Safety Instructions Cookware tips. Convection Cooking Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially where browning or crusting 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 these pans 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. 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, damaging 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 crusting or all-around browning, because the plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

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. 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.
