The electric output of this
microwave oven is 625 watts.
All These Things Are Normal
●Steam or vapor escaping from
around the door.
●Light reflection around door or
outer case.
●Dimming oven light and change
in blower sound may occur while
operating at power levels other
than high.
Optional Accessory
available at extra cost from your
GE supplier.
JX79 Charcoal Filter Kit.
Add for non-vented installation.
with Your Microwave Oven:
●Dull thumping sound while
oven is operating.
●Some TV-Radio interference
might be noticed while using your
microwave oven. It’s similar to the
intetierence caused by other small
appliances and does not indicate a
problem with your oven.

Am2mwavhlg Tips
●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 ametallic
sheen can be used. Some cookware
is labeled “suitable for Microwaving?
If you are unsure, use this dish test:
Measure 1cup water in aglass cup.
Place in oven on or beside dish.
Microwave 1minute at HIGH. If
water becomes hot, dish is microwave
safe. If dish heats, it should not be
used for microwaving.
●Paper towels, wax paper, and
plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering.
●Some microwaved foods require
stirring, rotating, or rearranging.
Check your Cookbook for specific
instructions.
●Steam builds up pressure in foods
which are tightly covered by askin
or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg
yolks and chicken livers to prevent
bursting.

–Do notovercookfood.Carefully
attend appliance ifpaper, plastic
or other combustible materials
are placed inside the ovento
facilitatecooking.
—Removewire twist-ties from
paper or plastic bagsbefore
placing bags in oven.
—Donot use your microwave
ovento dry newspapers.
–Paper towels, napkins and
wax paper. Recycledpaper
products can contain metal flecks
which maycause arcing or ignite.
Paper products containingnylon
or nylonfilaments should be
avoided,as they may also ignite.
—Do not pop popcorn in your
microwave oven unlessinaspecial
microwavepopcorn accessory or
unless youuse popcorn labeled
for use in microwaveovens.
–Do not operate the oven while
empty to avoid damage to the
oven and the danger of fire. If
by accident the ovenshould run
empty aminute or two, no harm
is done. However,try to avoid
operating the ovenempty at all
times—itsavesenergy and
prolongs life ofthe oven.
—Ifmaterials inside the oven
should ignite, keep ovendoor
closed, turn ovenoff, and
disconnect the powercord, or
shut offpowerat the fuseor
circuit breaker panel.
●Someproducts such as whole
eggsand sealed containers—for
example,closed glassjars—may
explode and shouldnot be heated
in this oven.
cSeedoor surface cleaning
instructions on page 38.
●Don’t defrost frozen beverages
innarrow-neckedbottles(especially
carbonatedbeverages). Even if
the container is opened, pressure
can build up. This can cause the
container to burst, resulting in
injury.
●Use metal only as directed in
Cookbook. Foil strips as used on
meat roastsare helpful when used
as shownin Cookbook.
TV dinners maybe microwaved
in foiltraysless than 3/4” high;
removetop foil coverand return
trayto box. When using metal in
microwaveoven,keepmetal (except
for DOUBLE DUTYTMshelf)
at least 1inch away from sides
of oven.
●Cooking utensils may become
hot because of heat transferred
fromthe heated food. This is
especiallytrue if plastic wrap has
been coveringthe top and handles
ofthe utensil. Potholdersmaybe
neededto handle the utensil.
●Sometimes, the oven floor
can become too hot to touch. Be
carefultouching the floor during
and after cooking.
QDo not use any thermometer
in foodyouare microwaving
unlessthethermometeris designed
or recommendedfor use in the
microwaveoven.
●Remove the temperature
probe from the oven when not
using it to cook with. If youleave
the probe insidethe ovenwithout
inserting it in foodor liquid, and
turn on microwaveenergy, it can
create electrical arcing in the
oven, and damageovenwalls.
cAvoid heating baby food in
glassjars, evenwithout their lids;
especially meat and eggmixtures.

●Boiling eggs is not
recommended in amicrowave
oven. Pressurecanbuild up inside
eggyolkand maycause it to burst,
resulting in injury.
cFoods with unbroken outer
“skin” suchas potatoes, sausages,
tomatoes,apples, chicken livers
and other giblets, and eggyolks
(seepreviouscaution) shouldbe
piercedto allowsteamto escape
duringcooking.

Your range, like many other
household items, is heavy and
can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or
carpeting. When moving the range
on this type of flooring, use care,
and it is recommended that these
simple and inexpensive instructions
be followed.
The range should be installed on
asheet of plywood (or similar
material) as follows: When the
floor covering ends at the front of
the range, the area that the range
will rest on should be built up with
plywood to the same level or higher
than the floor covering. This will
then allow the range to be moved
for cleaning or servicing.

LuLL1.& k.
Leveling screws are located on
each corner of the base of the
range. By removing the bottom
drawer you can level the range to
an uneven floor with the use of a
nutdriver.
To remove drawer, pull drawer out
all the way, tilt up the front and
remove it. To replace, insert glides
at back of drawer beyond stop on
range glides. Lift drawer if necessary
to insert easily. Let front of drawer
down, then push into close.
●Use proper power level as
recommended and DO N~
OVERCOOK.
●Do not operate the oven while
empty. 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—saves energy and also
ensures good, long-term life of oven.
cUse cooking utensils of medium
weight aluminum, tight-fitting
covers, and flat bottoms which
completely cover the heated
portion of the surface unit.
●Cook fresh vegetables with a
minimum amount of water in a
covered pan.
.Watch foods when bringing them
quickly to cooking temperatures at
high heat. When food reaches
cooking temperature, reduce heat
immediately to lowest setting that
will keep it cooking.
●Use residual heat with surface
cooking whenever possible. For
example, when cooking eggs in the
shell, bring water to boil, then turn
to OFF position to complete the
cooking.
cAlways turn surface unit OFF
before removing utensil.
●Use correct heat for cooking task...
high heats to start cooking (if time
allows, do not use high heat to start),
medium high—quick brownings,
medium—slow frying, low—finish
cooking most quantities, simmer—
double boiler heat, finish cooking,
and special for small quantities.
●When boiling water for tea or
coffee, heat only the amount
needed. It is not economical to
boil acontainer full of water for
only one or two cups.
7
●Preheat the oven only when
necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.
If you find preheating is necessary,
keep an eye on the indicator light,
and put food in the oven promptly
after the light goes out.
●Always turn oven OFF before
removing food.
●During baking, avoid frequent
door openings. Keep door open as
short atime as possible when it is
opened.
●For self-cleaning oven, be sure
to wipe up excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
●Cook complete oven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables, and
some desserts will cook together
with amain-dish casserole, meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same
temperature in approximately
the same time.
●Use residual heat in oven
whenever possible to finish
cooking casseroles, oven meals,
etc. Also add rolls or precooked
desserts to warm oven, using
residual heat to warm them.

Automatic Cooking
The AU’10 COOK pad maybe
used to eliminate your need to look
up cooking time in the Cookbook
or guessing how long to set cooking
time. By actually sensing the
steam and aroma which escape as
food microwaves, this feature
automatically adjusts the oven’s
cooking time to various types and
amounts of food.
After touching the AU10 COOK
pad, the desired Code number and
START, you will see the word “Auto”
on the display, which indicates that
the sensor has been activated to
sense steam and aroma from the
food. To prevent the escape of
steam and aroma from the oven, do
not open the door while the word
“Auto” is on the display. If door is
opened, “ERROR’ appears. Close
door and touch START immediately.
Setting 1, which is designed for easy
reheating of foods, automatically
turns the oven off as soon as the
sensor detects steam from the foods.
Other Auto Cook control settings,
which are for fresh or frozen foods,
need additional time after steam
and aroma have been sensed. For
these foods, the oven determines
the amount of additional time
needed, then automatically switches
the oven to Time Cook for the
necessary cooking time remaining.
Oven beeps when it switches to
Time Cook (“Auto” on display is
replaced by numbers, indicating
cooking time), and oven door can
be opened.
Be careful of steam when removing
tight covers. When you remove a
cover, direct the steam away from
your hands and face.
Be sure the outside of the cooking
container and inside of microwave
oven are dry.
Afew foods need stirring or
rotating after partial cooking.
Check the “Automatic Cooking
Recipe Guide” section on page 13.
To keep the interior of the oven
clean, we suggest covering foods
that tend to spatter. This also helps
the food heat more evenly.
Note: Use of the DOUBLE DUTYW
Shelf with Automatic Cooking is
not recommended.

Automatic cooking codes ~

mut ic
through
>asy,
automatic results with anumber
of foods.
Codes are arranged in lowest to
highest amount of power. For
example, Code 1gives least
microwave cooking power, Code 2
gives more power than Code 1,
Code 3increases power over Code
2and so on.
Code 1, which has the least
power, is used for quick reheating
jobs, while the longer cooking
foods like stew or chili use higher
codes. ACooking Guide and recipes,
starting on page 13,give many tested
uses for automatic cooking codes.

Another feature to give you more
flexibility in Automatic Cooking is
the preference control, which can
be used to “fine tune” the power
of Codes 2through 9. By simply
adding a1after aCode, you can set
the oven to cook using 20% less
time than the code would regularly
deliver. For example, if Code 4
cooks your vegetables more done
than you like them, set Code 41
next time and you will get 20%
less cooking time.
Likewise, if you wish slightly more
time than acode delivers, add a9
after the Code. For the vegetables
in the example above, Code 49
would provide 20% more time for
cooking than would the regular
Code 4.
Touch START. “AUKI” shows on

A&ltmmticcooking Qtmtiol’ls ad A!A.mwm
Q. Why does my oven automatically
cut off after the Auto cycle when
using Auto Cook Control Code 1
when it does not for other settings?
A. When using Code 1, there is no
second phase of minutes counting
down. All the cooking is completed
in the first phase or Auto.
Q. If my food is not completely
cooked after using the suggested
Auto Cook Control Code, what
should Ido?
A. Differences in recipes may
result in different cooking times.
Use Time Cook and Power Level 10
for afew minutes until completion
or re-cover and use Auto Cook
Code 1if more time is needed.
Q. Do all fresh or frozen vegetables
require astanding period after
cooking with Auto Cook?
A. Most vegetables are cooked to
acrisp state during Auto Cook,
just as in regular microwaving.
Therefore, it is recommended that
you let the vegetables stand for up
to 5minutes, depending on size and
density of pieces. This standing time
also enhances the overall flavor and
appearance of most vegetables.
Q. What if Idon’t fully cover the
dish in Auto Cook?
A. While cooking without the
cover does not affect sensor
performance, we suggest covering
dishes that may spatter to keep the
oven clean. Covering also helps
foods heat evenly.
Q. Do the shapes and sizes of
food make adifference when
using Auto Cook?
A. Yes, in some cases, larger
pieces will require additional Time
Cooking. Be sure to check sugested
arrangement of pieces in the dish,
since proper arrangement is often
asuccessful tip in regular
microwaving.
Q. Should Iuse Auto Cook to
cook pudding or sauces?
A. Most pudding and sauce recipes
require stirring many times during
cooking; therefore, Time Cook is
recommended since you should not
open the door during the Auto
phase of cooking without affecting
end cooking results.
Q. My scalloped potatoes were
not completely cooked when
Iremoved the dish after Auto
Cook. What is wrong?
A. If you prepared the sauce in the
oven prior to combining the sauce
with potatoes, there may have been
too much remaining moisture in the
oven. Make sure you dry the oven
completely before using Auto Cook,
since this function operates properly
by sensing steam and aroma in the
oven. Also, starting Auto Cook
with hot foods creates steam and
aroma in the oven too soon, and
decreases the first sensing cycle.
Q. Are there any other foods
which are best Time Cooked,
rather than Auto Cooked?
A. Bakery foods, candies, melted
chocolate, or foods when adry or
crisp surface is desirable, are
cooked best by Time Cook.
Q. Do fresh or frozen vegetables
require water when using Auto
Cook?
A. Yes. Add water as recommended
on guide to the vegetables and cover
well for even, complete cooking.
Q. Would my plastic containers
with very tight fitting lids be
appropriate for Automatic
Cooking?
A. No, most types of plastic
storage dishes, butter tubs, etc.,
with tight fitting lids, are not
recommended for microwaving.
Also, tight fitting plastic lids may
prevent adequate steam and aroma
from escaping, and food may not
cook properly during Automatic
Cooking.
Q. Itried to warm some chow
mein noodles using Auto Cook.
Why didn’t this work?
A. Food must have some moisture
in order to create steam which
helps the auto sensor function.
Extremely dry foods such as chow
mein noodles, potato chips and
other such foods do not have
enough moisture.
Q. Should Iuse Auto Cook when
Iam cooking many foods in more
than one dish or casserole?
A. No, because of different food
densities, attention needed during
cooking, and food amounts, it is
best to use Time Cook when
cooking many foods.

Automatic Cooking Control is a
fully automatic electronic control
system that lets your microwave
oven do the cooking for you. The
ouides and recipes in this section
a
are designed to help you make the
most of this feature.
Standard cooking techniques
require setting the oven for a
specified cooking time or a
selected finished temperature. And
that means looking up recipes in a
cookbook ...trying to convert old
recipes for microwave cooking .. .
or just resorting to guesswork.
This control method works on an
entirely different basis—with a
special electronic sensor that
detects steam and aromas from
cooking food. The oven “knows”
how the food is cooking, so it can
automatically set the correct
cooking time and maintain the
proper power level for different
types and amounts of food. And it’s
adjustable to suit your individual
taste.
Foods Remi2mlenckd
Easy m~use
Simply touch two control pads—
AUKI COOK and the desired
Code number—and then START.
Aguide on the oven control panel
gives alist of Codes for frequently
prepared foods. The display shows
AUTO until steam is sensed and
then signals, and displays time
counting down. During AUTO,
oven should not be opened, but
after oven signals, door may be
opened to check foods if desired.
Check the Automatic Cooking
Guide for suggestions.
Appropriate containers and
coverings help assure good cooking
results. Containers should match in
size to the size of the food being
cooked. Coverings such as w~x
paper, the lid that came with the
container, or microwave-safe
plastic domes are ideal. For
examples of containers and
coverings, see page 10and the
following recipes.
Awide variety of foods including meats, fish, casseroles,
~ege~bles, lefiovers, and convenience foods can be Auto
Cooked. Match container size with the food, cover
securely. and do not open door while AUTO appears
on display.
13
Foods Not Recommended
preference Cht rol
With Preference Control, you can
adjust the Automatic Cooking
Feature to your individual taste by
adding either “l” or “9” after
Code number. If after trying the
suggested Code, you would prefer
less cooking time, simply add the
number “l” after the Code and the
oven automatically lessens the
cooking time by 20%. If you wish
more cooking time, add “9” after
the Code to increase cooking time
by 20%.
Autonlatic lloasiing
Automatic Roasting uses the
temperature probe rather than the
electronic sensor to cook meats to
the desired degree of doneness.
The oven continually monitors the
food’s internal temperature. Unlike
ordinary Temperature Cooking, the
oven changes power levels two or
three times, depending on the degree
of doneness during cooking, to give
you the best results automatically.
After cooking, the oven switches
automatically to Hold for an hour.
Food stays warm without
overcooking.
Recipes and foods which must be cooked uncovered, or
which require constant attention, or adding ingredients
during cooking, should be microwaved by TIME COOK.
For foods that-microwave best using tem~erature probe,
use TEMP COOK, or AUTO ROAST. Fbods requiring
adry or crisp surface after cooking cook best with
TIME COOK.

To adapt your casserole recipes for
Automatic Cooking:
1. Select recipes that do not require
adding ingredients at different
stages during cooking, or recipes
that require extra attention, stirring
or rotating.
2. Use microwave-safe containers
that are appropriate in size to the
food amount. Use 3-qt. containers
or smaller.
3. For saucy casseroles, cover
container with lid or wax paper (no
vents). For cheese or crumb-topped
casseroles, remove cover after oven
signals and add topping, then
continue cooking uncovered.
4. Allow precooked ingredients or
hot sauces to cool slightly before
adding other ingredients.
5. Meats and vegetables should be
submerged in liquid.
