POWER LEVEL

The power level may be entered or changed immediately after entering the feature time for Cook Time the power

level may also be changed during the cooking.

1. Press Cook Time and enter cooking time.

2. Press the Power Level button and select power level

1-10.

3. Press the Start/Pause button to start cooking.

Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave

cooking. The power levels on the 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 energy 30% of the

time. Most cooking will be done on Power level 10 which

gives you 100% power.

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.

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

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:

Power Level 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, heating

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.

My microwave keeps making noise, even after it has finished. Is this normal? Verified

Why can't I put metal in my microwave? Verified

Metal doesn't let the microwaves through but bounces them back. When these microwaves are bounced back at the same spot, this can cause sparks.

Can I boil water in the microwave? Verified

No, absolutely not. Water can get superheated. This means that the water can reach a temperature of above 100℃ without boiling. When this water then touchs any object it can instantly boil and splash up, causing burns.

Can my GE appliance also run on a generator? Verified

In general this is possible, but always check this with the manufacturer of your generator. Also be aware that some appliances require a lot of power when starting up (ie: refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners). It's also a good idea to use a generator that is voltage regulated and surge protected. When in doubt you should contact the manufacturer.
