Troubleshooting Tips

Consumer Support

Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving.”

■If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this test: Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and

a glass measuring cup filled with 1 cup of water—set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave 30–45 seconds at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving.

If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.

■If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

■Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

■Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.

■Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers.

■Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

■Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

■Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food.

Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.

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.
