Make sure all cookware used in your microwave
oven is suitible for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glue 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.
●
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.
●
Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating
or rearranging. Check the Cooking Guide.
●
Steam builds up pressure in foods which are
tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent bursting.
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
Variable power levels add flexibility to your microwave cooking. The power levels on your microwave oven can be compared to the surface units on a range. HIGH (Power Level 10) or full power is the fastest way to cook and gives you
100% power. Each power level gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the time. Power Level 7 is microwave energy 70Y0 of the time. Power Level 3 is energy 3090 of the time.
A high setting (10) will cook faster but may need additional attention such as frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. Most of your cooking will be done on HIGH (Power Level 10). A lower setting will cook more evenly and with less attention given to stirring or rotating the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. You may wish to 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 offi 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:

AUTO~TIC FAN FEATU~
This microwave oven has an automatic fan feature to protect it from too much heat rising from the cooktop or range beneath it. It automatically turns on at a low speed if it senses too much heat.
If you have turned the fan on you may find that you cannot turn it off. This is because the automatic fan has come onto protect the internal ptis of the microwave.
The fan will automatically turn off when the internal parts are cool. It may stay on for 30 minutes or more after the range and microwave controls have been turned off.

DEFROST~G BY T~
Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of frozen food and is one of the great advantages of a microwave oven.
Use the Time Defrost setting to quickly thaw foods such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen dinners. The Auto Defrost setting is preferred for meat and poultry because the oven sets the defrosting time and power levels for you.
●
Power level 3 is automatically set when you press
TIME DEFROST pad, but you may change this for more flexibility.
●
See the Defrosting Guide for defrosting help.
How to Change Power Level
1. Press TIME DEFROST.
2. Select defrosting time.
3. Press POWER LEVEL.
4. Select power.
5. Press START.
To become better acquainted with the defrost function, defrost a 10 oz. package of frozen strawberries by following the steps below.
Step 1: Place package of frozen strawberries in the oven and close door. Be sure package contains no metal.

Defrosting Tips
should ‘be sli~ pierced or vented, A~R food has partially defrosted, as directed by package. Plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered.
●
Family-size, pre-packaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container. transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
●
For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken up or separated part of the way through the defrosting time.
●
Check the Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.
●
Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting.
Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
Questions and Answers
Q. When I press START, I hear a dull, thumping noise. What is it?
A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the oven is using a power level lower than 10 (High).
Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry?
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 total defrosting time in about 1/2; Power Level 10 cuts the total defrosting time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or stir food frequently.
18
Internal temperature is the best test of doneness
Use
Temp Cook to cook a variety of foods to the
desired finished food temperature. The Time Cook
I & II setting is recommended for batters, doughs, frozen foods and foods which are difficult to cook precisely with the probe.
The Temperature Probe
The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the internal temperature of your food. (Its appearance may vary from picture shown.) The probe must be used when using Temp Cook or Auto Roast.
To use the probe properly, follow directions in the
Automatic Roasting section.
Temp Cook takes the guesswork out of cooking, because the oven automatically switches to “Hold” setting after reaching the pres;t food temperature and maintains that temperature until you touch the
CLEAWOFF pad.
NOTE: Oven automatically switches to “Hold” when preset food temperature is reached.
How to Temp Cook a Rolled Beef Rib Roast to Medium
Step 1: Insert temperature probe and attach probe securely in oven wall. Close the door.

L
)
Step 8: Remove probe and food from the oven.
Cooking Tips
●
Use a lower power level; foods will heat more evenly though requiring more time.
●
Be sure frozen food has been completely defrosted before inserting probe. Probe may break off if used in frozen foods.
Questions and Answers
Q. Why did “PRObE” flash on the display after I touched the START pad?
A. “PRObE” will flash if you don’t seat the cable end of the probe securely into the receptacle in the oven wall or if you touch the TEMP COOK pad and forget to use the probe.
●
Cover foods loosely for moisture control and quick, even heating.
●
Insert the probe horizontally into the center meaty area not touching bone or fat. Make sure the handle does not touch the food or top or sides of the oven.
Q. Can I leave my probe in the oven if it’s not inserted in food?
A. No, if it touches the oven wall, it may damage the oven.

AUTO~TIC ROAST~G
Auto Roast uses the temperature probe to cook
to the desired serving temperature. Unlike Temp
Cook, which uses a single power level, Auto Roast
uses up to 3 power settings which automatically switch during roasting, thus providing even, tender cooking resul~ without overcooking.
Just as in regular roasting, only tender roasts should be roasted until specified internal temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should be microwaved by time.
Preparing Roasts for Auto Roasting
Place tender beef roast in cooking bag on trivet in microwave-safe dish. (Refer to package instructions for proper use of cooking bag.) Insert probe through cooking bag horizontally into the center meaty area not touching bone or fat. Make sure the handle does not touch the food or top or sides of the oven.

GLOSSARY OF MICROWAVE TE~S
When adapting recipes for the microwave, it is best to start with a familiar recipe. Knowing how the food should look and taste will help when adapting recipes for microwaving. Foods that require browning or crisp, dry surfaces will cook better in regular ovens.
●
Moist foods, such as vegetables, fruits, poultry and seafood, microwave well.
●
Rich foods, such as bar cookies, moist cakes and candies, are suitable for microwaving because of their high fat and sugar content.
●
Reduce regular oven cooking times by 1/2 to
1/3. Check food after minimum time to avoid overcooking.
●
Small amounts of butter or oil can be used for flavoring, but are not needed to prevent sticking.
●
Seasonings may need to be reduced. Salt meats and vegetables after cooking.
Covering. In both reguiar baking and microwave cooking, covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. In regular ovens, partial covering allows excess steam to escape,
Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper serves the same purpose when microwaving.
Venting. After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back 1 comer so excess steam can escape.
Arranging Food in Oven. When baking in regular ovens, you position foods, such as cake layers or potatoes, so hot air can flow around them. When microwaving, you arrange foods in a ring, so that all sides are exposed to microwave energy.
Stirring.
In range-top cooking, you stir foods up from the bottom to heat them evenly. When microwaving, you stir cooked portions from the outside to the center.
Foods that require constant stirring will need only occasional stirring when microwaving.
Turning Over. In range-top cooking, you turn over foods, such as hamburgers, so both sides can directly contact the hot pan. When microwaving, turning is often needed during defrosting or when cooking certain foods, such as frozen hamburgers.
S@nding 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.
Shielding. In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning.
When microwaving, you 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.
Arcing. Sparks caused by too much metal in the microwave oven or metal touching the side of the oven or foil that is not molded to food.
Prick Foods to Release Pressure. Steam builds up pressure in foods that are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Prick foods, such as potatoes (as you do before regular oven cooking), egg yolks and chicken livers, to prevent bursting.
Rotating. Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the oven helps food cook more evenly. To rotate 1/2 turn, turn the dish until the side that was to the back of the oven is to the front. To rotate 1/4 turn, turn the dish until the side that was to the back of the oven is to the side.
Basic Microwave Guidelhes
Density of Food. In both regular baking and microwave cooking, dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to cook than light, porous foods, such as rolls, bread or pieces of cake.
Round Shapes. Since microwaves penetrate foods to about 1 inch from top, bottom and sides, round shapes and rings cook more evenly. Comers receive more energy and may overcook. This may dso happen when cooking in a regular oven.
Delicacy. Foods with a delicate texture, such as custards, are best cooked at lower power settings to avoid toughening.
Natural Moisture of food affects how it cooks. Very moist foods cook evenly because microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture should be covered or allowed to stand so it heats evenly.
24
Piece Size. Small pieces cook faster than large ones,
Pieces that are similar in size and shape cook more evenly. With large pieces of food, reduce the power setting for even cooking.
Shape of Food.
ln
both types of cooking, thin areas cook faster than thick areas. This can be controlled in microwaving by placing thick pieces near the outside edge and thin pieces in the center.
Starting Temperature. Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than foods at room temperature. Timings in our recipes are based on the temperatures at which you normally store the foods.
Quantity of Food. In both types of cooking, small amounts usually take less time than large amounts.
This is most apparent in microwave cooking, where time is directly related to the number of servings.
Shelf
(on models so equipped). Use the shelf to heat more than 1 dish at a time. Take the shelf out when you are not using it.

NOTE: Use
Power Level High (10) unless otherwise noted.
1.
Directions below are for heating or reheating already-cooked foods stored in refrigerator or at room temperature. Use microwave-safe cookware.
2.
3.
Cover most foods for fastest heating. Exceptions are some sandwiches, griddle foods and baked items.
Bubbling around edges of dish is no~al, since the center is the last to heat. Foods heated to 160°F. to 165°F. wiIl provide safe, palatable results. Adjust temperatures to suit your personal taste. Let foods stand a few minutes before serving.
4. Be sure foods are heated throughout before serving. Steaming or bubbling around edges of dish does not necessarily mean food is heated throughout.
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

GU~E TO USE OF T~ OWN S~LF
c Use the shelf only when cooking food on
2 levels. Food microwaves best when placed directly on the oven floor.
●
Do not store or cook with metal shelf on floor of oven. Product damage may result.
c Use pot holders when handling metal shelf and cookware. They may be hot.
The wire shelf is specifically designed for added capacity heating and reheating in your microwave oven. Now more than one food may be heated or reheated and ready to serve at tie same time.
●
Do not store microwave browning dish on metal shelf.
●
Do NOT use the shelf with the Popcorn program.
Batters and dough foods and also uncooked foods which need to be prepared from scratch should be cooked without the oven shelf.
Positioning the Shelf
To position the shelf, tip the back slightly and fit the shelf support guides onto the support guides located at each side of the oven in the rear.
Next, lower the front until the shelf support guides fit onto the support guides located at each side of the oven in the front.
When properly positioned, the shelf should fit snugly in place, be level and not touch the back or side wdl of the oven.
If arcing occurs when using the shelf to cook more than one food
at the same time, turn the oven off. Make sure the shelf is not touching oven walls. To prevent arcing, remove the shelf when you are not using it.
How to Reheat Several Different ~pes of Feds Together
When heating several different types of food together, foods which should be served hot must be placed on the oven floor, while foods which need only to be warmed should be placed on the shelf. This is because microwave energy enters the oven from the bottom only. Also, it is important to remember that foods absorb microwave energy at different rates.
Rates can be affected by the size of the food, and its starting temperature.
Because of the varying rates, you may need to start reheating a lmge or dense food a few minutes ahead of time, then add other smaller or less dense foods.
Alternately, if one of the foods you are
heating seems undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily, let the underheated food continue cooking.
Heat or reheat different types of food at High ( 10).
To determine heating times, add times for all foods together. After half of time, stir or rearrange foods
(do not reverse positions). Check foods (especially those on the oven floor) after 3/4 of total time and remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.
28
Place on the floor larger or more dense foods, which need the most heating, such as leftover fried chicken, casseroles of canned or leftover vegetables, rice or pasta. Place on the oven shelf those foods which need only be warmed, such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins or breads.
Pop popcorn on the microwave oven floor only. Use prepackaged popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.
Keep your oven clean and sweet-
smelling. Opening the oven door a few minutes after cooking helps air out the inside. An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.
Don’t use sharp-edged utensils
on your oven. The inside and outside oven walls can be scratched. The control panel can be damaged.
BE CERTA~ POWER IS OFF
BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PART OF THIS OWN.
How
to Clean the Inside
Walls and floor. 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 on oven walls. NEVER USE A COMMERCIfi OVEN
CLEANER ON ANY PART OF YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN.
Door (inside). Window: Wipe up spatters daily and wash when soiled with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Metal and plastic parts on door: Wipe frequently with a damp cloth to remove all soil. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVES, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS
OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. THEY WILL
DAMAGE THE SURFACE.
Special note when using Brown ‘N Sear Dish: If grease is present, high heat generated on bottom of a Brown ‘N Sear dish may cause the grease to bum onto the oven tray. This may be remo;ed with a clemser such as Bon Ami@ brand cleanser.
How to Clean the Outside
Case. Clean the outside of your oven with soap and damp cloth, rinse with a damp cloth and then dry.
Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth. Chrome trim is best wiped with a damp cloth and then with a dry towel.
Control Panel. 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.
After using Bon Ami@ brand cleanser, rinse and dry as the walls. It may scratch the paint.
Automatic Temperature Probe. Probe is sturdy, but care should be taken in handling. Do not twist or bend; avoid dropping temperature probe.
Clean as soon after using as possible. To clean, wipe with sudsy cloth, then rub lightly with plastic scouring ball if necessary. Rinse and dry or wash in dishwasher.
Shelf. Your shelf accessory is designed for use in a microwave oven only; do not use in a regular oven.
Do not use a browning dish with the shelf. Arcing could occur.
Clean shelf with mild soap and water or in the dishwasher. Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven.
Door Surface. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
Power Cord. If the cord becomes soiled, unplug and wash with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, sudsy water may be used, but be certain to rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before plugging cord into outlet.

About 1 tablespoon of ammonia may be added to the water. Take care not to touch the filters and enamel surfaces with this solution; ammonia will darken metal.
30
The efiaust hood feature on your microwave oven is equipped with 2 metal filters which collect grease. When the fan is operated, air is drawn up through the filters. Depending on your model, it is either dischmged through the provided venting to the outside or drawn through a charcoal filter and recirculated.
CHARCOAL FILTER
(on some models)
REUSABLE GREASE FILTERS
(on all models)
Reusable Grease Filters
(on all models)
The grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the microwave without the filters in place. In situations where flaming might occur on surfaces below hood, filters will stop the entry of flames into the unit.
To
Remove Grease Filter
To remove grease filter, grasp the “finger hold” on the filter and slide to the rear. Then pull filter downward and to the front. The filter will drop out.
To Clean and Replace Grease Filter
To clean grease filter, soak it and then agitate filter in solution of 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 remove moisture before replacing.
To replace grease filter, slide the filter in the frame slot on the back of the opening.
Pull filter upward and to the front to lock into place.
Charcoal Filter
(on some models)
Some models are not vented to the outdoors; they recirculate the air instead. These models are equipped with a disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors caused by cooking on your range.
The disposable charcoal filter should be replaced
when it is noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12 months, depending on hood usage).
Order Part No. WB02X9883 from your GE supplier.
