c See door surface cleaning instructions in the Care and Cleaning section(s) of your book.

This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

A WARNING-~oreducetherisko~ burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.

Read and follow the specific “Precautions to

Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave

Energy” in this book.

c This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS.”

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This microwave oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food, and is not intended for laboratory or industrial use.

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

—Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance if paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

—Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven.

—Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.

—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.

(continued next page)

WORTANT SAFETY ~STRUCTIONS

(continued)

—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 overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

—Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid damage to the oven and the danger of fire. If by accident the oven should run empty a minute or two, no harm is done. However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at all times—it saves energy and prolongs the life of the oven.

Do not use the oven for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

c If materials inside oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

.

Some

products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed jars—will explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury, c Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even without their lids; especially meat and egg mixtures.

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.

Use metal only as directed in this book. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than

3/4” high; remove top foil cover and return tray to box. When using metal in the microwave oven, keep metal at least 1 inch away from sides of oven.

Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.

Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to boil over more rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care and

Cleaning section(s) for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

Thermometer—Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

Remove the temperature probe from the oven when not using it to cook with. If you leave the probe inside the oven without inserting it in the food or liquid, and turn on the microwave energy, it can create electrical arcing in the oven and damage oven walls.

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. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.

When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe to eat.

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.

Foods with unbroken outer

“skin” such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

4

Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

. Spontaneous boiling—Under certain special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, stir the liquid briefly before removing the container from the microwave oven.

~~BoilabIe” 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 beat least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. men cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

.,

Hot foods and steam can cause

~~~~~~~~ burns. Be careful when opening any popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face.

The Exhaust Hood

Have it installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer. See the special installation booklet packed with the microwave oven.

The exhaust fan in the oven will operate automatically under certain conditions (see

Automatic Fan Feature). While the fan is operating, caution is required to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the exhaust fan is in use. For this reason:

—Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if exhaust fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat only when necessary.

e

‘,

—In the event of a grease fire, smother flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.

—Never flame foods under the oven with the exhaust fan operating because it may spread the flames.

—Keep hood and grease filters clean, according to instructions in the Exhaust Feature section, to maintain good venting and avoid grease fires.

MICROWAVING TIPS

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 one 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.

AUTOMATIC FAN FEATURE

Cooking appliances installed under the oven may, under some heavy usage conditions, cause temperatures high enough to overheat some internal parts of the microwave oven.

To prevent overheating from taking place, the exhaust fan is designed to automatically turn on at a low speed if excessive temperatures occur.

Should this happen, the fan cannot be manually turned off, but it will automatically turn off when the internal parts have cooled. The fan may stay on up to approximately 30 minutes after the range and microwave oven controls have been turned off.

HOW TO USE THE MINUTE/SECOND T~ER

The Minute/Second Timer

The Minute/Second Timer has three timing functions: c It operates as a minute timer.

It can be set to delay cooking.

It can be used as a hold setting after defrosting.

The Minute/Second Timer operates without microwave energy.

Using a Holding Time

The Minute/Second Timer can also be used to program a “holding time” between microwave cooking functions .-The time can range from one second to 99 minutes and 99 seconds. A holding or standing time may be found in some of your own

recipes~r in the Cooking Guide.

How to Time a 3-Minute Phone Call

1. Touch MIN/SEC TIMER pad.

2. Touch number pad 3 and MINUTE pad (for 3 minutes and no seconds).

3. Touch START. Display shows time counting down.

The timer signals when time is up.

Programming Delayed Cooking

To delay cooking up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds, touch either TIM-E COOK I & II, TEMP COOWHOLD or AUTO ROAST and enter cook time, temperature or code. Touch MIN/SEC TIMER and enter number of minutes to delay cooking. When delaying Temp

CooWold or Auto Roast cooking, be sure probe

is in food. Touch START. Timer wfil count do-wn to zero and cooking will begin.

How to Defrost, Hold and Time Cook

Let’s say you want to defrost a frozen casserole for

Questions and Answers

Q. What will happen if I accidentally reverse my defrost, hold and cook instructions?

A. The oven will automatically rearrange your program. Defrosting will always come first, then hold, and then the cooking function.

Q. Can I defrost and hold only?

A. Yes. Sometimes you may only want to defrost a food, hold it, and cook it later. All you need to do is program in defrost and amount of time. Then program the hold time. Be sure to put the thawed dish in the refrigerator promptly.

NOTE: 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.

Q. I programmed my oven for a specific defrosting time but it defrosted longer than necessary. What happened?

A. When instructions conflict, the oven carries out the last instruction. You may have set the oven to defrost for 4 minutes, hold for 2 minutes, and then defrost for

6 minutes. In this case, the oven would defrost for 6 minutes and hold for 2 minutes.

Time Cook

Time Cook I & II allows you to microwave for a selected amount of time.

Power level 10 (High) is recommended for most cooking, but you may change this for more flexibility.

See the-Cooking Guide.

To become better acquainted with time cooking, make a cup of coffee by following the steps below.

Step 1: Fill a cup

2/3 full of water, add

1 teaspoon of instant coffee and stir to dissolve. Use a cup that has no metal decoration and is microwave-safe

(refer to Microwaving

Tips section). Place cup in oven and close door.

Questions and Answers

Q. I set my oven for the time called for in the recipe, but at the end of the time allowed, my food was not done. What happened?

A. Since house power varies due to time or location, many Time Cook recipes give you a time range to prevent overcooking. Set the oven for minimum time, test the food for doneness and cook the food a little longer, if necessary.

Q. I touched the number pads and selected my power level. When I touched START, however, my oven didn’t come on. Why not?

A. The TIME COOK I & 11 pad must be touched before setting the power level otherwise your oven will not begin cooking.

Q. I want to cook on a power level other than 10

(High). What do I need to do?

A. To change power level, touch the POWER LEVEL pad, then touch desired number for new power level.

DEFROSTING BY T~E

Time Defrost

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.

Power level 3 is automatically set for defrosting, but you may change this for more flexibility.

See your Defrosting Guide for defrosting help.

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.

Step 2: Touch TIME DEFROST

TIME

DEFROST

n

Step 3: Select one half of the total defrosting time recommended in the Defrosting Guide. For example, touch 4 and MINUTE pad for 4 minutes.

How to Change Power Level

After setting defrosting time, touch POWER LEVEL pad, then touch desired number for new power level.

n

Step 4: Touch START. When the cycle is completed, the oven signals and flashes “End,” then automatically shuts off.

Step 5: Turn the package over, close the door and repeat

Steps 2 and 3 to set remaining half of defrosting time and touch START.

Step 6: When the oven signals and flashes “End,” open the door, remove the package and separate strawbemies to finish defrosting.

Defrosting Tips

Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package.

~-..-..,,, ~~~;;::g;”;+~

.

For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken up or separated part of the way through the defrosting time.

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.

Check your Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.

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 open the door during defrosting to check on the progress of my food?

A. Yes. You may open the door at any time during microwaving. To resume defrosting, close the door and press START. The oven begins operating if time is left on timer. [f not. reset timer.

Q. Should all foods be completely thawed before cooking?

A. Some foods should not be completely thawed before cooking. For example, fish cooks so quickly it is better to begin cooking while it is still slightly frozen.

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.

Q. Why don’t the defrosting times in the

Defrosting Guide seem right for my food?

A. These times are averages. Defrosting time can vary according to the temperature in your freezer. Set your oven for the time indicated in the Defrosting Guide. If your food is still not completely thawed at the end of that time, reset your oven and adjust the time accordingly.

COO~NG BY TEMPEWTU~

Internal temperature is the best test of doneness for many foods.

Use Temp Coo~old 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.

Temp CooMHold takes the guesswork out of cooking, because the oven automatically switches to “Hold” setting after reaching the preset food temperature and maintains that temperature until you touch the

CLEAWOFF pad.

NOTE: Oven automatically switches to “Hold” when preset food temperature is reached.

The Temperature Probe

The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the internal temperature of your food. (Its appearance may vary from picture at right. ) The probe must be used when using Temp Cook/Hold or Auto

Roast. To use the probe properly, follow directions in the Automatic Roasting section.

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. Are there any foods I can’t Temp Cook?

A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice cream, frozen whipped toppings, etc., soften rapidly at warm temperatures. Batters, doughs and frozen foods are also difficult to cook precisely with the probe. It’s best to Time Cook these foods.

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/HOLD pad and forget to use the probe.

“ Cover foods loosely for moisture control and quick, even heating.

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.

Q. Can I Temp Cook different portions of food at different temperatures?

A. Yes. The temperature probe gives you the freedom to cook different portions of food at different temperatures to suit individual eating styles. Simply place probe in food and change temperature setting as needed.

AUTOmTIC ROASTmG

Auto Roast uses the temperature probe to cook to the desired serving temperature. Unlike Temp

Coo~old, which uses a single power level, Auto

Roast uses up to 3 power settings which automatically switch during roasting, thus providing even, tender cooking results without overcooking.

Just as in conventional roasting, only tender roasts should be roasted until specified internal temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should be microwaved by time, according to the cookbook that comes with your oven.

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.

Place pork roast in cooking bag and place in microwave-safe dish.

Place meat in oven with probe to the right. Insert cable end of probe firmly into receptacle on oven wall.

GLOSSARY OF MICROWAVE TERMS

When adapting recipes for the microwave, it is best to stirt 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 conventionally.

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 sugw content.

Reduce conventional cooking time by one-half to one-third. Check food after minimum time to tivoid 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 conventional and microwave cooking, covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Conventionally, 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 one corner so excess steam can escape.

Arranging Food in Oven. In conventional baking, 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 conventionally will need only occasional stirring when microwaving.

~rning 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.

Standing Time. In conventional cooking, 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 conventional 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 conventionally), 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. Tc~ rotate l/4 turn, turn the dish until the side that was to the back of the oven is to the side.

Basic Microwave Guidelines

Density of Food. In both conventional 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 one inch from top, bottom and sides, round shapes and rings cook more evenly. Corners receive more energy and may overcook. This may also happen when cooking conventionally.

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 heat can disperse evenly.

22

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. In 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 one dish at one time. Take the shelf out when you are not using it.

Avoid using.

You can use foil trays that are no higher than 3/4-in. (Foil or metal will retlect microwaves and cause uneven heating. ) Arcing can occur if foil is closer than 1 inch to oven walls.

Use for shielding.

Do not use. Microwave-safe thermometers and skewers are available.

Generally, glass jars can be used to warm food. However, do not heat baby food in jars, even without lids, because food will heat unevenly.

Do not warm foods in narrow-necked bottles because pressure can build up.

HEATING OR REHEATING GU~E

1. Directions below are for heating or reheating already-cooked foods stored in refrigerator or at room temperature. Use microwave-safe cookware.

2. Cover most foods for fastest heating. Exceptions are some sandwiches, griddle foods and baked items.

3. Bubbling around edges of dish is normal, since the center is the last to heat. Foods heated to 160°F, to 165°F. will 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.

I If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

THE EXHAUST FEATURE

The exhaust hood feature on your microwave oven is equipped with two metal filters which collect grease. When the fan is operated, air is drawn up through the filters and is then discharged through the provided venting to the outside.

ME}AL

FILTER COOKTOP FILTER

LIGHT

Reusable Grease Filters

The grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate your hood without the filters in place.

In situations where flaming might occur on surfaces below hood, filter 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 Kit

(for some models)

There is a Recirculating Charcoal Filter Kit available for models that are not vented to the outside.

Filter Kit model JX8 I A can be ordered from your GE supplier. Ask for part WB02X9883.
