Be careful when touching the turntable, door, racks, or walls of the oven which may become hot during use.
HOT CONTENTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO USE THE MICROWAVE. Use caution when removing hot items.

OPERATING

Do not operate the oven without the turntable in place. The turntable must be unrestricted so it can turn.
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 in compliance with cookware manufacturers’ recommendations.
Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave surface when the microwave is in operation.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers – for example, closed jars – are able to explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.
Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire.
Do not cover any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

CLEANING

Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving risk of electric shock.
When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps, or detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

SUPER HEATED 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.

VENT FAN

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.
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. Boil overs 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.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

Do Not Attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
Do Not Place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
Do Not Operate the oven if it is damaged.
It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:
1. door (bent),
2. hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
3. door seals and sealing surfaces.
The Oven Should Not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
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. Do not use an extension cord. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.

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.

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 HI 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:
Power Level 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.
Power Level 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.
Power Level 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and less tender cuts of meat.
Power Level 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces.
Power Level 1: Keeping food warm; softening butter.

Using the conversion guide, enter food weight. For example, press pads 1 and 2 for 1.2 pounds (1 pound, 3 ounces.
Press Start/Pause.
(Time Defrost is explained in the Time Features section.)
- Remove meat from package and place on microwave- safe dish.
- When the oven signals, turn the food over. Remove defrosted meat or shield warm areas with small pieces of foil.
- After defrosting, most meats need to stand 5 minutes to complete defrosting. Large roasts should stand for about 30 minutes.

If the weight of food is stated in pounds and ounces, the ounces must be converted to tenths (.1) of a pound.

When the oven signals, turn food over and break apart or rearrange pieces for more even defrosting. Shield any warm areas with small pieces of foil. The oven will continue to defrost if you don’t open the door and turn the food. Power level is automatically set at 3, but can be changed. You can defrost small items quickly by raising the power level after entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to approximately 1/3. However, food will need more frequent 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.
For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as roasts, use Defrost Weight. Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking.
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 counts down.

Sensor Features

Humidity Sensor
The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food. Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession on the same food portion—it may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. Be sure to let the oven cool down for 5-10 minutes before starting the next sensor cook. If food is under cooked after the countdown, use Cook Time for additional cooking time.

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 use tight-sealing plastic covers – they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

$GE-APPLIANCES-JVM7195-Range-Sensor-Microwave- Oven-$6$$

Dry off dishes so they don’t mislead the sensor.

Be sure the outside of the cooking container 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.

Microwave terms
Arcing Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

the metal shelf being installed incorrectly and touching the microwave walls.
metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).
metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold- rimmed dishes.
recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.
the turntable ring support being installed incorrectly.

Covering Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape. Shielding In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving, use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook before larger parts. Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack. Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.

Care and Cleaning

Helpful Hints
An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh. Be sure the power is off before cleaning any part of this oven.

How to Clean the Inside
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on the Door Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel; others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls. Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your microwave.

$GE-APPLIANCES-JVM7195-Range-Sensor-Microwave- Oven-$11$$

Removable Turntable and Turntable Support
To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable into water just after cooking. Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher. The turntable and support can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate the oven in the microwave mode without the turntable and support seated and in place.

How to Clean the Outside
We recommend against using cleaners with ammonia or alcohol, as they can damage the appearance of the microwave oven. If you choose to use a common household cleaner, first apply the cleaner directly to a clean cloth, then wipe the soiled area.

Case
Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth. Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.

Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel-they can damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the control panel.

Door Panel
Before cleaning the front door panel, make sure you know what type of panel you have. Refer to the eighth digit of the model number. “S” is stainless steel, “L” is Clean Steel and “B”, “W” or “C” are plastic colors.

Stainless Steel (on some models)
The stainless steel panel can be cleaned with Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth. Apply stainless cleaner carefully to avoid the surrounding plastic parts. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products containing chlorine on Stainless Steel finishes.

Plastic Color Panels
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly.

Door Seal
It’s important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the microwave. Use only mild, non- abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

Bottom
Clean off the grease and dust on the bottom often. Use a solution of warm water and detergent.

Cooktop Light/Nite Light
Replace with a 120 volt, 50 watt (max.) halogen bulb.
See back cover for ordering online at GEAppliances.com.

To replace the cooktop light/nite light, first disconnect the power at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel, or pull the plug.
Remove the screw from the side of the light compartment cover and lower the cover until it stops.
Be sure the bulb is cool before removing. Break the adhesive seal by gently unscrewing the bulb.
Screw in the new bulb, then raise the light cover and replace the screw. Connect electrical power to the oven.

Vent Fan
The vent fan has two metal reusable vent filters. Models that recirculate air back into the room also use a charcoal filter.

Charcoal filter

Reusable vent filters
(on all models).

Reusable Grease Filters
The metal filters trap grease released by foods on the cooktop. They also prevent flames from foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the oven. For this reason, the filters must always be in place when the hood is used. The vent filters should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.

Removing and Cleaning Grease Filters
To remove, slide them to the 888 rear using the tabs. Pull down and out. To clean the grease filters, soak them and then swish around in hot water and detergent. Don’t use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the metal. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse, shake and let dry before replacing. To replace, slide the filters into the frame slots on the back of each opening. Press up and to the front to lock into place.

Charcoal Filter
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. See back cover for ordering online at GEAppliances.com.
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 6 to 12 months, depending on usage). See Optional Kits page 22, for more information.

CHARCOAL FILTER REPLACEMENT

Remove the vent grille mounting screws.
Tip the grille forward, then lift out to remove.
Remove the charcoal filter.
