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.

WARNING: Arcing can occur during microwave cooking and, for certain models, in Speed Cook and Fast Cook modes. If you see arcing, press the CANCEL/OFF pad and correct the problem.
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).
• Use foil only as recommended in this manual.
• Metal cookware is used during either Speedcook or microwave cooking (except for the pans provided with the oven).
• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold-rimmed dishes, in the oven.
• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces are being used in the oven.

WARNING: OVEN-SAFE COOKWARE FOR FAST COOKING.

• The oven and door will get very hot when Fast Cooking.
• Cookware will become hot. Oven mittens will be needed to handle the cookware.
• Do not use coverings, containers, or cooking/ roasting bags made of foil, plastic, or paper when FastCooking.
• Do not cover turntable, wire oven rack, trays or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause arcing in the oven.
• This cooking mode uses both microwave and convection heat. Glass or Glass-Ceramic cookware is recommended. Heat-resistant plastic microwaveable cookware (safe to 450°F) may be used. Metal cookware cannot be used.

WARNING: OVEN-SAFE COOKWARE FOR BAKING, ROASTING, WARMING, AND PROOFING.

• The oven and door will get very hot when baking, roasting, warming, or proofing.
• Cookware will become hot. Oven mittens will be needed to handle the cookware.
• Do not cover turntable, wire oven rack, trays or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating.
• Any oven-safe dish can be used in your oven. Recipes were tested in Pyrex® glass cookware and Corningware® ceramic casseroles. Cook times and results may vary when using other types of oven-safe dishes. Place them directly on the trays.

WARNING MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE
Make sure to use suitable cookware during microwave cooking. 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.”

• Place food or a microwaveable container directly on the clear glass tray to cook your food.
• Use of the non-stick metal tray during microwave cooking will result in inferior cooking performance.
• Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Oven mitts may be needed to handle the cookware.
• Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels, napkins, and waxed paper may contain metal flecks, which could cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.
• Use foil only as directed in this manual. When using foil in the oven, keep the foil at least 1″ away from the sides of the oven.
• If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
• 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.
• 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.
• Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.
• “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 the covering carefully and direct the steam away from your hands and face.
• 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.
• Do not use the wire oven rack for microwaving.

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.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

• 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.

Cooking Tips

• When cooking bacon, layer strips on a plate. Cover each layer with a paper towel.
• When cooking vegetables, use a microwave-safe casserole or bowl. Cover with a microwave-safe lid or vented plastic wrap.
• For frozen vegetables, follow the package instructions for adding water.
• For fresh vegetables, add 2 tablespoons of water for each serving.

Defrost

DEFROST BY FOOD TYPE: Automatically sets the defrosting times and power levels based on menu tree selection to give even defrosting results for food types, poultry and fish weighing up to 6 pounds.

DEFROST BY TIME: Allows the user to set defrosting time. The power level defaults to 3.

DEFROST BY WEIGHT: Automatically sets the defrosting times and power levels based on the entered weight up to 6 pounds.

• Turn the food over when the oven signals TURN FOOD OVER.
• Remove defrosted meat or shield warm areas with small pieces of foil for even defrosting.
• After defrosting, most meats need to stand for 5 minutes to complete defrosting. Large roasts should stand for about 30 minutes.

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

Weight of Food in Ounces	Enter Food Weight  (tenths of a pound)
1-2	.1
3	.2
4-5	.3
6-7	.4
8	.5
9-10	.6
11	.7
12-13	.8
14-15	.9

Defrosting Tips
Use DEFROST BY FOOD TYPE for meat, poultry and fish. Use DEFROST BY TIME for most other frozen foods.

• Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package when using DEFROST BY TIME. Foods should be taken out of the package when using DEFROST BY FOOD TYPE. 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 DEFROST BY TIME. 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.
• When defrosting 3 or more pounds of ground or cubed meat, remove defrosted portions at the turn signals.

Sensor Cooking
Some microwave modes feature sensor cooking. The oven automatically senses when food is done and shuts itself eliminating the need to program cook times and power levels.

MICROWAVE SENSOR PROGRAMS:

• Ground Meat
• Popcorn – Prepackaged microwave popcorn, 3.0 oz. to 3.5 oz.
• Soup
• Rice
• Vegetables (Canned, Fresh, Frozen)
• Chicken Reheat
• Pasta Reheat
• Plate of Food Reheat
• Soup Reheat
• Vegetable Reheat

Do not open the oven door until the time is counting down in the display. If the door is opened, close it and press RESUME immediately. If the food is not done enough, use COOK BY TIME in the microwave selector to cook for more time.
NOTE: Do not use the sensor features twice in succession on the same food portion—it may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If the food is not done enough at the end of the sensor cook time, use Cook BY Time in the microwave selector to cook for more time.

• If you have been cooking and the oven is hot, it may indicate that it is too hot for sensor cooking. In that case, the oven will automatically change to a timed cooking and may prompt for weights or amounts of food.
• To shorten or lengthen the cook time, wait until the time countdown shows in the display. Use the screen pad to add or subtract time.
• If you open the door while the sensor is cooking, follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

Notes About the Reheat Program:
Reheated foods may have wide temperature variations. Some areas may be extremely hot. It is best to use COOK BY TIME and not REHEAT for these foods:

• Bread products
• Food that must be reheated uncovered.
• Foods that need to be stirred or turned.
• Foods calling for a dry look or crisp surface after reheating.

Sensor Cooking Cookware
The proper containers and covers are essential for the best sensor cooking.

• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers- they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.
• Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
• Beverages are best heated uncovered.

Steam Cook Feature
For best results, use a steam or simmer bowl. Add 2 Tablespoons of water when steaming vegetables.

MENU SELECTION FOR SENSOR STEAM
For best results, use 1-4 cups.

• Asparagus
• Brussels Sprouts
• Carrots
• Cauliflower

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 oven. Do not clean the inside of the oven with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad, causing an electrical shock.
IMPORTANT: For models with Oven Camera in the top of the cavity, camera image clarity may be affected if the camera glass cover is not clean. Follow the directions above to properly clean the interior of the oven.

Removable Turntable
The area underneath the turntable should be cleaned frequently to avoid odors and smoking during a cooking cycle. The turntable can be broken if dropped. Wash carefully in warm, sudsy water. Dry completely and replace. To replace the turntable, place its center over the spindle in the center of the oven and turn it until it seats into place. (Make sure the smooth side of the turntable is facing up and that its center seats securely on the spindle.)

Cooking Trays and Baking Sheets
To prevent breakage, allow the trays to cool completely before cleaning. Wash carefully in warm, sudsy water or the dishwasher. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasives, as they may damage the finish. A soap-filled scouring pad may be used to clean the trays.

Outside
We recommend against using cleaners with ammonia or alcohol, as they can damage the appearance of the 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 with a sudsy cloth. Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.

Glass Control Panel and Door
Wipe with a clean, damp sponge. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives, or sharp objects on the panel- they can damage it.

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

Stainless Steel (on some models)
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaning instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface. To inquire about purchasing stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the location of a dealer nearest you, please visit GEAppliances.com.

Steam Clean

• This feature will create heat and steam to loosen dirt in the oven. To create enough steam, pour half a cup of water into a microwave-safe bowl.
• Remember to use the glass tray. Once the cycle is terminated, wipe the oven cavity with a paper towel or cloth.
