The power cord of this appliance is equipped with athree-prong (grounding) plug
which mates with astandard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle (Fig. 1)to m.in-
irnize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance. TIM customer should
have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by aqualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is proper]y grounded.
PREFERREDMETHOD
Fig. 1
Where astandard two-prong waH receptacle is encountered, it is the personal respon-
sibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with aproperly grou~ded
three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug. However,if you still elect to use an adapter, where
local codes permit, aTEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to aproperly
grounded two-prongwaHreceptac~eby the use of aIL listed adapter whichis available
at most local hardware stores (Fig. 2). The ~argerslot in the adapter must be aligned
with the larger slot in the waHrweptacIe to provideproper polarity in.the connection

When clisconnecting the power cm.-dfrom the adapter, always hold the adapter with
one hand. If this is not clone,the adapter gl*ounclterminal is very likely to break with
r~:peated use. Shodd this happen, DO NOT US.E the appliance until aproper ground
has again been established.
B.USAGESITUATIONS WHERE APPLIANCE’S POWER CORD WILL BE IJ!SCONNECTED
FREQUENTLY.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because fl*equentdisconnecting of the
powercord places Imciuestrain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of {;headapter
ground terminal. The customer should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with
athree-prong (grounding) receptacle by aqualified electrician before using the appliance.
2. USE OF IW’ENS1ONCORDS.Because of potential safety hazards under certain con-
ditions we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you
still elect to use an extension cord, it is abso]ute]y necessary that it be aUL listed.3-wire
grounding type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord
in amperes be equal to or greater than the branch circuit size shown on the rating name-
plate of this appliance. Such extension cords are obtainable through your local service

1. l?orpersonal safety the oven must be properly grounded. See grounding instruc-
tions on page 5of this book. I?orbest operation, plug this appliance into its own
electrical outlet, to prevent flickeringof lights, Mowingof fuse or tripping of circuit
breaker.
2. Use of Extension Cords. Because of potential safety hazards under certain con-
ditions we strong]y recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you
still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be aUL listed
3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating
of the cord in amperes be 15 amperes or greater. Such extension cords are obtain-
able through General Electric service. If you do use an extension cord with your
microwave oven, the interior light may flickm and the blower sound may vary when
oven is in use.
3. 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.
4. Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid damage to the oven and the danger
of fire. If by accident the oven should run empty aminute or two, no harm is done.
However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at all times-it saves energy and
prolongs life of the oven.
5. I-Jsemetal only as directed in cookbook.Metal strips as used on meat roasts are
helpful in cooking food when used as directed. Metal trays may be used for TV
dinners. EIowever, when using metal in the microwave oveh, keep metal at least
l-inch away from sides ofmicrowaveoven.
6. Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated
food.This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of
the utensil. Pot holders may be needed to handle the utensil.
7. Sometimes, the oven shelf can become too hot to touch. Be careful touching the
shelf during and after cooking.
8. Do not use any thermometer in food you are microwaving unless that thermom-
eter is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.
!3. Remove the temperature probe from the oven when not using it to cook with.
Hyou leave the probe inside the oven without inserting it in food or liquid, and turn
on microwave energy, it can create electrical arcing in the oven, and damage oven
waljs,
‘!~3,..Removewire twist-ties on paper and plastic bags before placing in.oven. Twist-

“i7. DO not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in aspecial microwave
popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn in apackage labeled for microwave
ovens.Because of the heat generated, without these precautions the container could
catch fire. ,
18. l?lastic IJtensils-~lastic utensils designed for microwavecookingare very use-
ful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave plastic may not be as tolerant of
overcookkg 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 utensils may even ignite, foT these reasons: 1) Use microwave plastics
only and use them. in strict compliance with the utensil manufacturer’s recomm-
endations. 2) Do not subject empty utensils to microwaving. 3) Do not permit
children to use plastic utensils without complete supervision.

Reheating leftovers--this type of food is excellent to heat with temperature probe because
often the amount of leftover food is not known, therefore, thm to cookis only aguess. Cook-
ing to apreset temperature (usually 155°) eliminates the guesswork.
Plates of Rood—in general, placetemperatureprobein largestpieceoffood,then coverplate
with waxpaper (or lightlywith plastic wrap). Apreset temperatureof160°givespipinghot
food.
Beverages and soups—use clip on cable of probe to help stabilize probe in liquids. Apreset
temperature of 130° is “warm to drink,” about 170°is “steaming hot.”
Beef, lamb and ham loaves—besure to placeprobeas horizontallyas possible,and use clip
to stabilize probe in meat mixture.
For best results, consult meat loaf recipes in cook book and do not exceed total weight of
meat. Agood rule of thumb to follow in preparing meat loafmixturesis to use 1cup liquid
(milk,water or juice suchas tomato) to l$fztotal poundsgroundmeat.
Roasts and Pot Roasts-—cookmany roasts the “carefree way” using your choiceof power
settings. Very specificinstructions are included in Cook Book.Pot roasted sirloin tip and
rump roasts are succulentand tender when cooked.followingdirectionsat LOW POWER.
Dips—hot dips are apopular appetizer. An internal temperature of90-].30°(dependingon
the ingredients) isjust right to serve guests.

Delicate butter icings, ice cream, frozen whipped topping, etc.—these soften rapidly at warm
temperatures. Lowest setting on temperature probe is 90°.
Many foods in the frozen state---because temperature probe should not be forced into rock-
hard foods, it coLM break. However, after defrosting, many convenience foods maybe heated
with the probe to the precise temperature for serving.
Individual foods cooked in batches—in cooking with microwave energy, differences from one
food to another, even.of the same type of food can result in different’cooking times of foods
in the same batch. Avariation in size (such as in cup cakes, sandwiches, etc. )or moisture con-
tent (such as in potatoes and other vegetables) can cause variation in cooking speed. Temp-
erature probe in one food in abatch might not correctly indicate internal temperature of aH
foods cooked together.
Starchy vegetables-potatoes which cook to steamy hot temperatures tend to stick to tem-
perature probe due to starchy nature of interior. (clean immediately with soapy cloth, then
rub lightly with plastic scouring ball if necessary. )
Batters and doughs which are baked. This type of food should be observed when cook-
ing to best judge when done. Also, periodic turning of ihe dish is usually required cmthese
delicate food types.

.
Because there is little heat except in the food, or sometimes in the utensils, spills and spatters
are easy to remove. Somespatter canberemovedwithapaper towel,othersmay requireadamp
cloth. Remove greasy spatters with asudsy cloth, then rinse, and dry. Do not use abrasive
cleaners on ovenwalkj.Under no circumstancesshould.you attempt to removethe coverover
the “stirrer” at the top of the oven for cleaning. NEVER USE ACOMMERCIAL OVEN
CLEANER ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.
Glass—wipe up spatters daily, wash when soiled with aminimum of sudsy warm water. Rinse
thoroughly and dry.
Metal and Plastic Parts on Door— to assure atight seal around door, this area must ‘bewiped
frequently with adamp cloth to remove all soil. Abuild up of soil could result in leakageof
microwaveenergy from the oven. DO NOT’ USE ABRASIVES, SUCH AS CLEANING
POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. THEY WILL MAR THE SURFACE OF
