IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

18. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

(a) STIR THE LIQUID BOTH BEFORE AND HALFWAY THROUGH

HEATING IT.

(b) Do not heat water and oil, or fats together. The film of oil will trap

steam, and may cause a violent eruption.

(c) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. (d) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a

short time before removing the container.

19. DO NOT cook directly on the turntable. It can crack, cause injury or damage

to the oven.

INSTALLATION AND

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Examine Your Oven

Unpack oven, remove all packing material and examine the oven for any damage such as dents, broken door latches or cracks in the door. Notify dealer immediately if oven is damaged. DO NOT install if oven is damaged.

Placement of Oven

1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. Place the front surface of

the door three inches or more from the counter top edge to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven during normal use. For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 3-inches (7.6 cm) of space on both sides of the oven and 1-inch (2.5 cm) of space on top of the oven.

(a) DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven

may be overheated and damaged.

(b) DO NOT place oven near a hot, damp surface such as a gas or electric

range, or dishwasher.

2. This oven is manufactured for counter top household use only. It is not intend-

ed for built-in operation and is not approved or tested for mobile vehicle, marine, or commercial use.

Installation

DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may

overheat. If the oven overheats, a thermal safety device will turn the oven off. The oven will remain inoperable until it has cooled.

INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS

WWAARRNNIINNGG

CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that has a three prong polarized grounding plug, and a three slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

—IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING PLUG

(continued)

Grounding Instructions

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED. In the event of an electrical short circuit,

grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

• Plug into properly installed and grounded 3 prong outlet.

• DO NOT remove ground prong.

• DO NOT use an adapter.

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 are available and 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

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. The oven must be plugged into at least a 15 AMP, 120 VOLT, 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. 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.

TV / Radio Interference

1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV or similar

equipment.

2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following

measures: (a) Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the microwave oven as far as possible. (b) Use a properly installed antenna to obtain stronger signal reception. (c) Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven. (See Care and Cleaning of Your

Microwave Oven)

Safety Precautions

Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven.

IMPORT 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 /

• 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 which 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 pad (refer to page 13). Otherwise, the popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave oven unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool before opening, always open the bag facing away from your face and body to prevent steam burns.

ANT

SMALL QUANTITIES OF FOODS

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 perhaps result in burns. Microwave utensils may not withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt.

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 non-

porous 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.

Safety Precautions (continued)

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.

6) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS

• DO NOT use paper towels or cloths which 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 grills are designed for microwave cooking only. Always fol-

low instructions provided by the manufacturer. DO NOT preheat browning dish

more than 6 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.

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 / BABYFOOD

• 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 eat-

ing. Some foods have fillings which heat faster and can be extremely hot, while the surface remains warm to the touch (ex. Jelly Donuts).

11) GENERALOVEN USAGE GUIDELINES

• DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the preparation of food.

Defrosting Tips & Techniques

Preparation For Freezing:

1. Freeze meats, poultry, and fish in packages with only 1 or 2 layers of food. Place wax paper between layers.

2. Package in heavy-duty plastic wraps, bags (labeled “For Freezer”), or freezer paper.

3. Remove as much air as possible.

4. Seal securely, date, and label.

To Defrost:

1. Remove wrapper. This helps moisture to evaporate. Juices from food can get hot and cook the food.

2. Set food in microwave safe dish.

3. Place roasts fat-side down. Place whole poultry breast-side down.

4. Select power and minimum time so that items will be under-defrosted.

5. Drain liquids during defrosting.

6. Turn over (invert) items during defrosting.

7. Shield edges and ends if needed. (See Cooking Techniques).

After Defrosting:

1. Large items may be icy in the center. Defrosting will complete during STANDING TIME.

2. Let stand, covered, following stand time directions on page 15.

3. Rinse foods indicated in the chart.

4. Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer stand time.

Sensor Reheat

Feature

This sensor feature allows you to reheat food without setting time. The oven simplifies programming.

Example: To reheat a plate of food

For NN-H625

For NN-H635/ H645/H665

Optional

Cooking is complete when 5 beeps sound. (When steam is detected by the Genius Sensor and 2 beeps sound, the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window.)

NOTE: Casseroles - Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of liquid,

cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. Stir when time appears in the display window.

Canned foods - Empty contents into casse-

role dish or serving bowl, cover dish with lid or vented plastic wrap. After reheating, let stand for a few minutes.

Plate of food - Arrange food on plate; top with

butter, gravy, etc. Cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. After reheating, let stand for a few minutes.

DO NOT USE SENSOR REHEAT:

1. To reheat bread and pastry products. Use manual power and time for these foods.

2. For raw or uncooked foods.

3. If oven cavity is warm.

4. For beverages.

5. For frozen foods.

• Press Sensor Reheat.

• (see More/Less

Feature) (☛page 13)

• Press Start. ➤ Cooking starts.

For the best results with the GENIUS SENSOR, follow these

recommendations.

BEFORE Reheating/Cooking:

1. The room temperature surrounding the oven should be below 95° F (35° C).

2. Food weight should exceed 4 oz. (110 g).

3. Be sure the glass tray, the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Residual beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

4. Cover food with lid, or with vented plastic wrap. Never use tightly sealed plastic containers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

DURING Reheating/Cooking:

DO NOT open the oven door until 2 beeps sound and cooking time appears on the Display Window. Doing so will cause inaccurate cooking since the steam from food is no longer contained within the oven cavity. Once the cooking time begins to count down, the oven door may be opened to stir, turn, or rearrange foods.

AFTER Reheating/Cooking:

All foods should have a stand time.
