Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

ARCING

If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.

Operating Instructions

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold-rimmed dishes, in the microwave.

Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.

FOODS

Troubleshooting Tips

Consumer Support

Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in

a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

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.

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.

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.

Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such 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.

PEM31 specifications

The GE PEM31 is an advanced industrial gas turbine developed by General Electric, designed to provide high-efficiency power generation with remarkable environmental performance. This gas turbine is part of GE’s Energy division and represents a significant advancement in turbine technology, reflecting industry demands for reliability, efficiency, and reduced emissions.

One of the standout features of the GE PEM31 is its ability to achieve high thermal efficiency, which is crucial for maximizing energy output while minimizing fuel consumption. Employing advanced aerodynamics and thermodynamic cycle techniques, the PEM31 operates effectively across a wide range of conditions. This feature makes it versatile, suitable for various applications in both simple and combined cycle plants.

The turbine integrates state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing processes, including advanced composites and heat-resistant alloys, which contribute to its operational reliability. These materials allow the PEM31 to withstand extreme temperatures and stresses, resulting in a longer operational life and reduced maintenance requirements. Furthermore, the turbine’s design emphasizes modularity, enabling easier and faster installation and servicing.

Another key characteristic of the GE PEM31 is its innovative combustion technology. The gas turbine employs dry low emissions (DLE) technology, which significantly reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions without the need for additional external control measures. This makes the PEM31 compliant with stringent environmental regulations while enhancing its attractiveness for use in areas with strict air quality standards.

The turbine is equipped with GE’s digital solutions, leveraging advanced analytics and predictive maintenance capabilities. These technologies provide real-time monitoring and performance optimization, enabling operators to anticipate issues before they escalate, thereby enhancing overall system reliability and efficiency.

Additionally, the PEM31 supports multi-fuel operation, allowing it to run on various types of fuel, including natural gas and liquid fuels. This flexibility is particularly valuable for operators seeking to adapt to changing energy markets and fuel availability.

In summary, the GE PEM31 gas turbine embodies the latest advancements in power generation technology. Its combination of high efficiency, robust design, reduced emissions, and digital integration positions it as a leading choice for modern power plants aiming to enhance both operational performance and environmental stewardship. As energy demands continue to grow, turbines like the PEM31 play a crucial role in transitioning towards a more sustainable energy future.
