GE JES1097 JES1097SMSS Owner's Manual

To set the power level, press the 'Power Level' button after entering the cook time. Then, use the number pad to select the desired power level from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest.
First, ensure that the microwave door is fully closed. Check if the power level is set correctly. If the issue persists, the magnetron might be faulty, and professional service may be needed.
Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to wipe the interior. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains, heat a bowl of water with lemon slices for a few minutes to loosen grime before cleaning.
A buzzing noise can be normal, especially at lower power levels. However, if it is unusually loud, it could indicate a faulty magnetron or diode, and a technician should inspect it.
No, do not use metal utensils or containers in the microwave. Metal can cause arcing and damage the appliance. Use microwave-safe glass or plastic instead.
Press the 'Defrost' button, then enter the weight of the food using the number pad. The microwave will automatically set the defrost time and power level.
Regularly clean the interior and exterior, avoid slamming the door, and do not run the microwave empty. Also, ensure vents are not blocked to prevent overheating.
This could be due to overheating. Ensure that the air vents are not blocked and the microwave is not used for excessive periods. Allow it to cool between uses if necessary.
In the GE JES1097SMSS model, you cannot disable the turntable function. Ensure the turntable is properly centered and unobstructed for optimal performance.
Check the power connection and ensure the outlet is functional. If the display remains off, it may be a control board issue that requires professional repair.
