The upper halogen lamp cover must be kept free
of grease and food spatterings in order to operate
effectively.

Outside of the Oven
We recommend against using cleaners with ammonia
or alcohol, as they can damage the appearance of
the 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.
Replacing the Surface Light
1. To replace the surface light, first disconnect the power
at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or unplug the
oven.
2. Remove the screw from the side of the light
compartment cover and lower the cover until it stops.
3. Be sure the bulb to be replaced is cool before
removing. Gently pull the bulb from the receptacle.
Replace with a 130 volt, 50-watt halogen bulb. Order
WB08X10051 from your GE Appliances supplier.
4. Raise the light cover and replace the screw. Connect
electrical power to the oven.

Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean, soft
cloth. Apply stainless cleaner carefully, avoiding the
surrounding plastic or glass parts. Do not use appliance

stainless steel.
Plastic Color Panels (on some models)
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry

It's important to keep the area clean where the door
seals against the oven. Use only mild, non-abrasive
detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth.
