IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

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 PHDVXULQJFXSILOOHGZLWKFXSP/RIZDWHU³VHWWKH PHDVXULQJFXSHLWKHULQRUQH[WWRWKHGLVK0LFURZDYH 30­45 seconds 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, QDSNLQVDQGZD[HGSDSHUFDQFRQWDLQPHWDOIOHFNVZKLFKPD cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.
Some foam 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.
3DSHUWRZHOVZD[HGSDSHUDQGSODVWLFZUDSFDQEHXVHGWR 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 FRRNLQJSRVVLEOUHVXOWLQJLQLQMXU$OVRSODVWLFVWRUDJH 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″ (1.9 cm); remove the top IRLOFRYHUDQGUHWXUQWKHWUDWRWKHER[:KHQXVLQJIRLOLQWKH microwave oven, keep the foil at least 1″ (2.5 cm) away from the sides of the oven.
3ODVWLFFRRNZDUH³3ODVWLFFRRNZDUHGHVLJQHGIRUPLFURZDYH 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 RUFKDULIVXEMHFWHGWRVKRUWSHULRGVRIRYHUFRRNLQJ,QORQJHU H[SRVXUHVWRRYHUFRRNLQJWKHIRRGDQGFRRNZDUHFRXOGLJQLWH
Follow these guidelines:
1. Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations.
2. Do not microwave empty containers.
3. Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.

THE VENT FAN

The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions (see Automatic Fan feature). Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.
Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not allow grease to build up on the microwave or the fan filters.
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.

Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filters.
When preparing flaming foods under the microwave, turn the fan on.
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 minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING³,PSURSHUXVHRIWKHJURXQGLQJSOXJFDQUHVXOWLQDULVNRIHOHFWULFVKRFN

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.

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.

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 GRXEWH[LVWVDVWRZKHWKHUWKHDSSOLDQFHLVSURSHUOJURXQGHG

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
:HGRQRWUHFRPPHQGXVLQJDQH[WHQVLRQFRUGZLWKWKLV appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. (See 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.

ADAPTER PLUGS

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

(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)

use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter which is available at most

Align large prongs/slots

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.

TEMPORARY METHOD

Ensure proper ground and firm connection before use.

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.

PACEMAKERS
Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. However, patients with pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.

Removing and Cleaning the Filter
To remove, slide it to the side using the tab. Pull it down and out.
To clean the grease filter, soak it and then swish it around in hot water and detergent. Don’t use ammonia or ammonia products because it will darken the metal. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt.

Charcoal Filter (on some models)
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. Order Part No. JX81J (sales number) or WB02X1124 (service number) from your GE supplier.

If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors. The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6­12 months, depending on hood usage). See “Optional Kits,” page 7, for more information.

To Remove Charcoal Filter
To remove the charcoal filter, disconnect power at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or pull the plug.

TV/radio interference might be noticed while using the microwave. Similar to the interference caused by other small appliances, it does not indicate a problem with the microwave. Plug the microwave into a different electrical circuit, move the radio or TV as far away from the microwave as possible, or check the position and signal of the TV/radio antenna.
