like antennas).  
The metal shelf not installed correctly so  
Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or  
it touches the microwave wall.  
goldrimmed dishes, in the microwave.  
Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.  
Recycled paper towels containing small metal  
pieces being used in the microwave.  
The fan will operate automatically under  
certain conditions (see Automatic Fan feature).  
Take care to prevent the starting and spreading

only when necessary.  
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, cookie sheet  
or flat tray.  
Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters.  
Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based  
oven cleaners, may damage the filters.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING!  
Do not pop popcorn in your microwave  
SUPERHEATED WATER  
FOODS  
oven unless in a special microwave popcorn  
accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled  
for use in microwave ovens.  
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  
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed  
containers—for example, closed jars—are  
able to explode and should not be heated  
in this microwave oven. Such use of the  
microwave oven could result in injury.  
DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER  
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.  
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.  
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:  
Do not overheat the liquid.  
Operating the microwave with no food inside  
for more than a minute or two may cause  
damage to the oven and could start a fire.  
It increases the heat around the magnetron  
and can shorten the life of the oven.  
Stir the liquid both before and halfway  
through heating it.  
Do not use straight-sided containers with  
narrow necks.  
Foods with unbroken outer skinsuch as  
potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes,  
apples, chicken livers and other giblets and  
egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam  
to escape during cooking.  
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.  
Hot foods and steam can cause burns.  
Be careful when opening any containers of  
hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking  
pouches and boxes. To prevent possible  
injury, direct steam away from hands  
and face.  
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.  
Avoid heating baby food in glass jars,  
even with the lid off. Make sure all infant  
food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to  
distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to  
prevent scalding when warming formula or  
breast milk. The container may feel cooler  
than the milk really is. Always test the milk  
before feeding the baby.  
Do not overcook potatoes. They could  
dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage  
to your oven.  
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to  
at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F  
and poultry to at least an INTERNAL  
temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these  
temperatures usually protects against  
foodborne illness.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING!  
MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE  
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.”  
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.  
Cookware may become hot because of heat  
transferred from the heated food. Pot holders  
may be needed to handle the cookware.  
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  
30–45 seconds at high. If the dish heats,  
it should not be used for microwaving.  
“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 covering  
carefully and direct steam away from hands  
and face.  
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.  
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 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.  
Use foil only as directed in this manual.  
TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays  
less than 3/4high; remove the top foil cover  
and return the tray to the box. When using  
foil in the microwave oven, keep the foil at  
least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.  
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.  
Some styrofoam 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.  
3 Do not permit children to use plastic  
cookware without complete supervision.  
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.

High 10  
Fish, bacon,  
vegetables,  
boiling liquids.  
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. 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 microwave  
energy 30% of the time. Most cooking will be  
done on High (power level 10) which gives  
you 100% power.  
Med-High 7  
Medium 5  
Gentle cooking of  
meat and poultry;  
baking casseroles  
and reheating.  
Slow cooking and  
tenderizing such as  
stews and less tender  
cuts of meat.  
Low 3  
Defrosting without  
cooking; simmering;  
delicate sauces.  
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.  
Warm 1  
Keeping food warm  
without overcooking;  
softening butter.  
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.

When using Sensor features, do not open the  
oven door until time is counting down. If the  
door is opened, close it and press START  
immediately.  
Do not use the Sensor Features twice in  
succession on the same food portion—it may  
result in severely overcooked or burnt food.  
If food is undercooked after the countdown,  
use TIME COOK for additional cooking time.  
If you wish to adjust the cooking time, press  
LESS DONE or MORE DONE within the first  
30 seconds to reduce or add time.  
The proper containers and covers are  
essential for best sensor cooking.  
Dry off dishes so they  
don’t mislead the sensor.  
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.  
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.

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.  
3 Enter the defrosting time using the numbers  
on the touchscreen. Press ENTER when  
finished or CLEAR to erase the time you  
entered.  
4 Check to make sure the time and power  
level are correct, and press START on the  
touchscreen.  
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 best results, turn food over after half the  
time and break apart or rearrange pieces for  
more even defrosting. Shield any warm areas  
with small pieces of foil.  
For more even defrosting of larger foods,  
such as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure  
large meats are completely defrosted before  
cooking.  
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.  
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.  
A dull thumping noise may be heard during  
defrosting. This is normal when oven is not  
operating at High power.

the oven cavity.  
For best results  
Make sure the shelf is positioned properly  
inside the microwave to prevent damage to  
the oven from arcing.  
Do not use a microwave browning dish  
on the shelf. The shelf could overheat.  
Do not use the oven with the shelf on the  
microwave floor. This could damage the  
microwave.

Microwave Terms  
Term  
Definition  
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.  
Covering  
Shielding  
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.  
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.  
Standing Time  
Venting  
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.  
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  
An occasional thorough wiping with a solution  
of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.  
Helpful  
Hints  
Be certain the oven control is turned off  
before cleaning any part of this oven.  
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and  
Plastic Parts on the Door  
How to  
Clean the  
Inside  
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.  
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 without the turntable and  
support in place.  
Shelf  
Clean with mild soap and water or in the  
dishwasher.  
Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven.

Care and Cleaning  
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.  
Helpful  
Hints  
Bottom  
Stainless Steel (on some models)  
Clean off the grease and dust on the bottom  
often. Use a solution of warm water and  
detergent.  
Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch  
the surface.  
To clean the stainless steel surface, use a hot,  
damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable  
for stainless steel surfaces. Use a clean, hot,  
damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry,  
clean cloth.  
Case  
Clean the outside of the microwave with  
a sudsy cloth.  
Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean  
with a damp cloth.  
If food soil remains, try a general kitchen  
cleaner.  
For hard-to-clean soil, use a standard stainless  
steel cleaner, such as Bon-Ami® or Cameo.®  
Control Panel and Door  
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.  
Apply cleaner with a damp sponge. Use a  
clean, hot, damp cloth to remove cleaner.  
Dry with a dry, clean cloth. Always scrub  
lightly in the direction of the grain.  
After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish, such  
as Stainless Steel Magic,® Revere Copper and  
Stainless Steel Cleaner® or Wenol All Purpose  
Metal Polish.® Follow the product instructions  
for cleaning the stainless steel surface.  
Door Seal  
It is 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.  
The vent fan has 2 metal reusable grease filters.

Care and Cleaning  
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 microwave.  
For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in  
place when the hood is used. The grease filters  
should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.  
Reusable  
Grease

To remove, slide it to the outside using  
the tab. Pull it down and out.  
Removing  
and Cleaning  
the Filter  
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 they will darken the metal.  
Light brushing can be used to remove  
embedded dirt.  
Rinse, shake and let it dry before replacing.  
To replace, slide the filter in the frame slot  
at the outside of the opening. Pull up and in  
to lock into place.  
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must  
be replaced. Order Part No. WB2X10956 from  
your GE supplier.  
The charcoal filter should be replaced when it  
is noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after  
6 to 12 months, depending on hood usage).  
Charcoal  
Filter (on  
some models)  
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.
