The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions.
Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of
accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.
³Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow
grease to build up on the microwave or the fan filters.
³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.
³Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive
cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may
damage the filters.
³When preparing flaming foods under the microwave,
turn the fan on.
³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

attention than usual.
A dull thumping noise may be heard during
defrosting. This is normal when oven is not
operating at High power.
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.

About changing the power level.
14
The power level may be entered or changed
immediately after entering the time for Cook
Time or Time Defrost. The power level may also
be changed during time countdown.
1First, follow directions for Cook Time or
Time Defrost.
2Press the Power Level button.
3Turn the dial clockwise to increase and
counterclockwise to decrease the power
level. Press the dial to enter.
4Press the Start/Pause button to start
cooking.
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
PRUHIUHTXHQWVWLUULQJURWDWLQJRUWXUQLQJRYHU
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.

About the sensor 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.
'RQRWXVHWKH6HQVRU)HDWXUHVWZLFHLQVXFFHVVLRQRQWKHVDPHIRRGSRUWLRQ³LWPD\UHVXOWLQ
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.
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.

Because most cooking containers must be covered during Cook, this feature is best with foods that
you want to steam or retain moisture.
NOTE: Use of the metal shelf with Cook is not recommended.

How to Adjust the Automatic Popcorn Setting to
Provide a Shorter or Longer Cook Time
If you find that the brand of popcorn you use
underpops or overpops consistently, you can add or
subtract 20–30 seconds to the automatic popping
time.
To subtract or add time for sensor cook, turn the dial
