IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

10.DO NOT allow children to use this appliance, unless closely supervised by an adult. DO NOT assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

11.DO NOT operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

12.DO NOT immerse cord or plug in water.

13.Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

14.DO NOT let cord hang over edge of a table or counter.

15.This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service center for examination, repair or adjustment.

16.Some products such as whole eggs, with or without shell, narrow neck bottles and sealed containers (for example, closed glass jars) may explode and should not be heated in this oven.

17.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

(a)DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

(b)Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

(c)If material inside the oven ignites, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

(d)DO NOT use the cavity for storage purposes. DO NOT leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use.

18.Superheated Liquids: Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without showing evidence (or signs) of boiling. Visible bubbling is not always present when the container is removed from the microwave oven. 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.

(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 flat table. It can crack, and cause injury or damage to the oven.

WARNING	Safety Precautions

TO AVOID THE RISK OF SHOCK:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVE ENERGY:

DO NOT tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to Door, Control Panel Frame, Safety Interlock Switches, or any other part of the oven. Microwave leakage may result.

TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE:

1.DO NOT operate the microwave oven empty or use metal containers. When using the microwave oven without water or food, microwave energy cannot be absorbed and will

continuously reflect throughout the cavity. This will cause arcing and damage the oven cavity, door or other components, which can lead to a fire hazard.

2.DO NOT store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven.

3.DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven, or use newspaper or paper bags for cooking.

4.DO NOT hit or strike Control Panel. Damage to controls may occur.

5.DO NOT use recycled paper products unless the paper product is labeled as safe for microwave oven use. Recycled paper products may contain impurities, which may cause sparking.

TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING:

POT HOLDERS should always be used when removing items from the oven. Heat is transferred from the HOT food to the cooking container and from the container to the flat table. The flat table can also be very HOT after removing the cooking container from the oven. Care in handling must be exercised.

For proper use of your oven, read remaining safety cautions and Owner’s Manual.

F0003BU00CP_Eng_170301.indd 7		2017/3/1 15:45:38

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 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 menu (refer to page 33). 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.

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.

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) FLAT TABLE / COOKING CONTAINERS / FOIL

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

•The flat table will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed to cool 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.

8

F0003BU00CP_Eng_170301.indd 8		2017/3/1 15:45:38

Food Preparation (continued)

7) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS

•Browning dishes or grills 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.

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).

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.

•The appliance shall not be operated by Microwave or Combination WITHOUT FOOD IN THE OVEN. Operation in this manner may damage the appliance.

•If smoke or a fire occurs in the oven, touch the Stop/Reset Pad and leave the door closed in order to extinguish the flames. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse.

•During and after cooking with the steam function, do not open the oven door when your face is very close to the oven. Care must be taken when opening the door as steam may cause injury.

CAUTION! Hot steam will escape when the door is opened. If there is steam in the oven, use caution when taking containers out of the oven. Always use oven gloves to remove items from the oven TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING. Do Not reach in with your bare hands.

•Extreme caution must be used when moving hot liquids.

•When handling cooking containers take care not to let the contents spill.

•Avoid hot steam, serious burns and scalds could result.

•To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to lean, hang, sit or place heavy items on the open door of the appliance. Severe personal injury could result.

•Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam from the cleaning appliance could penetrate live components and permanently damage the oven or cause injury.

•The use of accessories not recommended by Panasonic may cause injury.

12) HEATER OPERATION

•Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during Oven, Steam, Combination or Grill 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 and rear of the oven. During and after using either the Oven, Steam, Combination or Grill 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 Oven, Grill or Combination 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 Oven 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 Oven.)

•DO NOT use the water tank without the sealed lid and never remove the sealing band from around the water tank lid, as leaking water could result in electrical failure and danger of electric shock.

CONTAINER TEST

TO TEST A CONTAINER FOR SAFE MICROWAVE OVEN USE: Fill a microwave-safe cup with cool water and place it in the microwave oven alongside the empty container to be tested; heat one (1) minute at 1000 W. If the container is microwave oven safe (transparent to microwave energy), the empty container should remain comfortably cool and the water should be hot. If the container is hot, it has absorbed some microwave energy and should NOT be used. This test cannot be used for plastic containers.
