IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
-Do not pop popcorn in your
microwave oven
unless in a special
microwave popcorn accessoryor
unless you use popcorn labeled for
use
in microwave ovens.
-If materials insideoven should
ignite, keep oven door closed,
turn
oven off, and disconnectpower
cord, or shutoff power at fuseor
circuit breaker panel.
Some products suchas whole
eggs and sealed containers-for
example, closed glass jars-may
explode and should not be heated
in this oven.
Avoid heatingbaby food in
glassjars, even without theirlids;
especiallymeat
and egg mixtures.
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, resulting in injury.
Use metal onlyasdirected in
Cookbook.
Foil strips as used on
meat roastsare helpful when used
as shown
in Cookbook.
TV dinners may be microwaved
in foil trays less than 3/4” high;
remove top foil cover andreturn
tray
to box. When using metal in
the microwave oven, keep metal
(otherthan metalshelf)at least
1 inch away fromsidesof oven.
Cooking utensilsmay become
hot
because of heat transferred
from the heated food. Potholders
may be needed
to handle the utensil.
Sometimes, the oven floor
canbecome too hot to touch.
Be
careful when touching the floor
during
and aftercooking.
Foods cooked in liquids (such
as pasta)may tend to boil over
more rapidly than foods containing
less moisture. Should this occur,
refer to page
18 for instructions on
how to clean the inside of the oven.
Thermometer-Do not use
a thermometer in food you
are microwaving unless the
thermometer is designedor
recommended for use
in the
microwave oven.
Remove the temperature probe
from the oven when not in use.
If
you leave the probe inside the oven
without inserting it in foodorliquid,
and turn on microwave energy,
it
can createelectricalarcing in the
oven and damage oven walls.
Plastic utensils-Plastic utensils
designed for microwave cooking
arevery useful, but should be
used carefully. Even microwave
plastic may not be as tolerantof
overcooking conditions
as are glass
or ceramic materials andmay
softenor char if subjected to short
periods of overcooking. In longer
exposures
to overcooking, the food
and utensils could ignite. For
these reasons:
1) Use microwave
plastics only and use them
in strict
compliance with the utensil
manufacturer’s recommendations.
2) Do not subject empty utensils to
microwaving.
3) Do not permit
children to use plastic utensils
without completesupervision.
When cooking pork follow
ourdirectionsexactly and always
cook the meat to at least
170°F.
This assuresthat, in the remote
possibility that trichinamay be
present
in the meat, it will be
killed and meat will be safe to eat.
Boilingeggs is not
recommended in
a microwave
oven.
Pressurecan build up
inside the egg yolk andmay cause
it to burst, resulting in injury.
4
Foods with unbroken outer
“skin”
such as potatoes, sausages,
tomatoes, apples, chicken livers
and other giblets, andegg yolks
(seeprevious caution) should be
pierced
to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
“Boilable” cooking pouches
and tightly closed plastic bags
should beslit, pierced or vented
as directed
in Cookbook.If they
are not, plastic could burst during
or immediatelyafter cooking,
possibly resulting
in injury. Also,
plastic storage containers should be
at least partially uncovered because
they forma tight seal. When
cooking
with containers tightly
covered
with plastic wrap, remove
covering carefully and direct steam
away from hands and face.
Spontaneous boiling-Under
certain special circumstances,
liquidsmay start
to boil duringor
shortlyafter removal from the
microwave oven.
To prevent burns
from splashing liquid,stir the
liquid briefly before removing the
container from the microwave oven.
Use of the DOUBLE DUTY”
shelf accessory.
-Remove the shelf from oven
when not
in use.
-Do not storeor cook with shelf
on floorof oven. Product damage
may result.
-Use potholders when handling
the shelf and utensils. Theymay
be hot.
-Do not use microwave browning
dish onshelf. The shelf could
overheat.
-Be sure that the shelf is
positioned properly inside the
oven to preventproduct damage
(see page

A.
Yes,but they will need more
frequent attention than usual. Raise
the power level after entering the
time by touching the desired power
level pad. Power Level
7 cuts the
time about
in 1/2; Power Level
10 cuts the time to approximately
113. During either. rotate or stir
food frequently.
Q. Why don’t the defrosting
timesin the Cookbook seen1 right
for my food?
A.
Cookbook times arc average.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
,Po:. This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reducesthe risk
of electric shockby providing an
escape wire forthe electric current.
This applianceis equipped with
a
power cord having a grounding
wire with
a grounding plug. The
plug must be pluggedinto an outlet
that is properly installed and
grounded. (Fig.
1)
WARNING-Improper
use of the grounding plug can result
in a risk of electric shock.
PREFERRED
METHOD
INSURE PROPER
GROUND
EXISTS
Fig. 1 BEFORE USE
,p+c Consult aqualified electrician or
servicetechnician
if the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood, or
if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
Where astandard two-prong wall
receptacle is encountered.
it is
your personal responsibility and
obligation to have
it replaced with
a properly grounded three-prong
wall receptacle.
Do not under any circumstances
cut or remove the third (ground)
prong
from the power cord.
'C-' *
Use of Adapter Plugs
Usage situations where
appliance's power cordwill
be disconnected infrequently.
Becauseof potential safety hazards
under certain conditions,
we
strongly recommendagainst the
use
of an adapterplug. However,
if you still elect to use an adapter,
where local codes permit,
a
TEMPORARY CONNECI'ION
may be made to
a properly grounded
two-prong wall receptacle by the use
of
a UL listed adapter (Fig. 2)
which is available at most local
hardware stores.
TEMPORARY METHOD
1
The larger slot in the adapter must
be aligned with the larger slot
in the
wall receptacle
to provide proper
polarity
in the connectionofthe
power cord.
Caution: Attaching the adapter
ground terminal
to the wall
receptacle cover screwdoes not
ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal. and not
insulated, and the wall receptacle
is grounded through the house
wiring. You should have the circuit
checked by
a qualified electrician
to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, always hold
the adapter
with one hand. If this
is notdone, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely
to break with
repeated use. Should this happen.
DO NOT USE the appliance until
a proper groundhas again been
established.
Usagesituationswhere
appliance's power cord
will
be disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these
situations because disconnecting of
the powercord places undue strain
on the adapter and leads
to eventual
failure of theadapter ground terminal.
You shouldhave the two-prongwall
receptacle replaced with
a three-
prong (grounding) receptacle by a
qualified electrician before using
the appliance.
Use of Extension Cords
Because of potential safety hazards
undercertain conditions, we strongly
recommend against the use otan
extension cord. However,
if it is
necessary to use an extension cord.
use onlya 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-blade grounding plug.
and a 3-slot receptacle that
will
accept the plug onthe appliance.
The marked rating of the extension
cord shall be equal to or greater
than the elcctrical rating
ofthe
appliance (I5 amperes).
Such extension cords are obtainable
through General Electric service.
If you douse anextension cord
with your microwave oven, the
interior light may flicker and the
blower sound may vary when oven
is
in use. Cook times may be longer
as well.
