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.

Ŷ Clean the underside of the microwave often. Do not

allow grease to build up on the microwave or the fan

filters.

Ŷ 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.

Ŷ  Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters.

Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven

cleaners, may damage the filters.

Ŷ When preparing flaming foods under the microwave,

turn the fan on.

Ŷ  Never leave surface units beneath your microwave

oven unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers

cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite

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.

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

Automatic Fan

An automatic fan feature protects the

microwave from too much heat rising from the

cooktop below it. It automatically turns on at

low speed if it senses too much heat.

If you have turned the fan on you may

find that you cannot turn it off. The fan will

automatically turn off when the internal

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.

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;

RWKHUVPD\UHTXLUHDGDPSFORWK5HPRYHJUHDV\

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 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.

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. 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

CleanSteel 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, 30 watt (max.) incandescent

bulb. See back cover for ordering online at

GEAppliances.com.

1. To replace the cooktop light/nite light, first disconnect

the power at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel,

or pull the plug.

2. Remove the screw from the side of the light

compartment cover and lower the cover until it stops.

3. Be sure the bulb is cool before removing. Break the

adhesive seal by gently unscrewing the bulb.

4. Screw in the new bulb, then raise the light cover and

replace the screw. Connect electrical power to the

oven.

Remove screw.

Care and Cleaning

Vent Fan

The vent fan has two metal

reusable vent filters.

Models that recirculate air

back into the room also use a

charcoal filter.

Reusable Vent 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.

)RUWKLVUHDVRQWKHILOWHUVPXVWDOZD\VEHLQSODFHZKHQ

the hood is used. The vent filters should be cleaned

once a month, or as needed.

Removing and Cleaning the Filters

To remove, slide them to the

rear using the tabs. Pull down

and out.

To clean the vent 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.
