Power Supply

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. DO NOT let cord hang over edge of a table or counter.

3. If a long cord or extension cord is used,

(1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension

cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the

appliance. (2) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape

over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by

children or tripped over accidentally.

Wiring Requirements

1. The oven must be operated on a SEPARATE CIRCUIT. No other

appliance should share the circuit with the microwave oven. If it does, the branch circuit fuse may blow or the circuit breaker may trip.

2. The oven must be plugged into at least a 20 A, 120 V, 60 Hz

GROUNDED OUTLET. Where a standard two-prong outlet is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet.

3. The VOLTAGE used must be the same as specified on this

microwave oven (120V, 60Hz). Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or oven damage. Using a lower voltage will cause slow cooking. Panasonic is NOT responsible for any damages resulting from the use of the oven with any voltage other than specified.

F0003CD60AP_08.indd 6 2019/12/10 10:13:54

Food Preparation

Follow these Safety Precautions when cooking in your oven.

IMPORTANT Proper cooking depends upon the power, the time setting

and quantity of food. If you use a smaller portion than recommended but cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could result.

1) HOME CANNING / STERILIZING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL QUANTITIES OF FOODS

• DO NOT use your oven for home canning. Your oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. The food may be contaminated and then spoil.

• DO NOT use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization.

• DO NOT dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, scorch or catch on fire if overheated.

2) POPCORN

Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven corn popper. Microwave popcorn that pops in its own package is also available. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a brand suitable for the cooking power of your microwave oven.

CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, you can follow recommended package instructions or use the Popcorn menu (refer to page 34). Otherwise, the popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave the oven unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool before opening, and always open the bag facing away from your face and body to prevent steam burns.

4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS

• DO NOT COOK / REHEAT WHOLE EGGS, WITH OR WITHOUT

THE SHELL.

Steam buildup in whole

eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating SLICED hard-boiled eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.

• Potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before microwave cooking to prevent them from exploding.

CAUTION: Cooking dry or old

potatoes can cause fire.

5) GLASS TRAY / COOKING CONTAINERS / FOIL

• Cooking containers get hot during microwaving. Heat is transferred from the HOT food to the container and the Glass Tray. Use pot holders when removing containers from the oven or when removing lids or plastic wrap covers from cooking containers, to avoid burns.

• The Glass Tray will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed to cool before handling or before paper products, such as paper plates or microwave popcorn bags, are placed in the oven for microwave cooking.

• When using foil in the oven, allow at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of space between foil and interior oven walls or door.

• Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing may occur.

3) DEEP FAT FRYING

• DO NOT deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Cooking oils may burst into flames and may cause damage to the oven and may result in burns. Microwave utensils may not withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt.

6) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS

• DO NOT use paper towels or cloths that contain a synthetic fiber woven into them. The synthetic fiber may cause the towel to ignite. Use paper toweling under supervision.

7) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS

• Browning dishes or Broils are designed for microwave cooking only. Always follow instructions provided by the manufacturer. DO NOT preheat browning dish more than six minutes.

• If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to package directions. DO NOT use a wire twist-tie to close bag. Instead use plastic ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag.

F0003CD60AP_08.indd 7 2019/12/10 10:13:54

Food Preparation (continued)

8) THERMOMETERS

• DO NOT use a conventional meat thermometer in your oven. Arcing may occur. Microwave safe thermometers are available for both meat and candy.

9) BABY FORMULA / BABY FOOD

• DO NOT heat baby formula or baby food in the microwave oven. The glass jar or surface of the food may appear warm while the interior can be so hot as to burn the infant’s mouth and esophagus.

10) REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS

• When reheating pastry products, check temperatures of any fillings before eating. Some foods have fillings, which heat faster and can be extremely hot, while the surface remains warm to the touch (for example, jelly donuts).

12) HEATER OPERATION

• Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during Convection, Combo or Broil functions. To prevent burns, take care when opening or closing the door and when inserting or removing food and accessories.

• The oven has heaters situated in the top of the oven. During and after using either the Convection, Combo or Broil functions, all inside surfaces of the oven will be very hot. To prevent burns, care should be taken to avoid touching the inside surfaces of the oven.

• TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING, please use caution when touching accessible parts when oven is operated in Convection, Broil or Combo mode, because the accessible parts may become extremely hot.

13) BEFORE USING YOUR OVEN

• Before using the oven for the first time, wipe excessive oil off in the oven cavity and operate the oven without food and accessories on Convection at 425 °F (220 °C), for 10 minutes. This will allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be burned off. This is the only time the oven is used empty. (with the exception of preheating on Convection.)

11) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES

• DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the preparation of food. This oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food. DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food products.

• Before use, check that utensils/containers are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

• DO NOT attempt to use this microwave oven to dry newspaper, clothing or any other materials. They may catch fire.

• When the oven is not being used, DO NOT store any objects other than oven accessories inside the oven in case it is accidentally turned on.
