Arcing is the microwave term
for sparks in the oven. Arcing
is caused by:
■Metal or foil touching the side
of the oven.
■Foil not molded to food
(upturned edges act like
antennas).
■Metal, such as twist-ties,
poultry pins or gold-rimmed
dishes, in the microwave.
■Recycled paper towels
containing small metal pieces
being used in the microwave.
■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.
■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.
■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.
■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.

■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.
To reduce the risk of injury
to persons:
— 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.
■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.

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 a metallic sheen can
be used. Some cookware is
labeled “suitable for microwaving.”
■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 1 minute 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.
■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.
■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.
■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 3/4″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 1″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.
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.

GEAppliances.com
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Consumer SupportTroubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Information

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.
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.
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.
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.
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 WARNING—
EXTENSION CORDS section.)
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to
prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
WARNING!
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Safety InformationOperating InstructionsTroubleshooting TipsConsumer Support

Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected
infrequently.
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,
a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may
be made to a properly grounded
2-prong wall receptacle by the use of
a UL-listed adapter which is available
at most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot
in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection
of the power cord.
CAUTION:Attaching the adapter ground terminal
to the wall receptacle cover screw does 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 not done, the adapter ground terminal
is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT
USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected
frequently:
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequent
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter
and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You should
have the 2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (grounding)
receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

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.
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.

Enter cooking time.
Press Power Level.
Select desired power level 1–10.
Press Start.
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.
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.

Defrost
Allows you to defrost for a selected food weight.
Press Defrost.
Enter food weight.
After 1/2 of the selected defrosting time, the oven signals
to turn the food over. At this time, turn the food over and
break apart or rearrange the pieces for more even
defrosting.
A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting.
This is normal when oven is not operating at 100% 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.
■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.
