from oven. Repairs must be done
only by a qualified service person.
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.
Safety Precautions
Glass Tray
1. DO NOT operate the oven without the Roller Ring and the Glass
Tray in place.
2. DO NOT operate the oven without the Glass Tray fully engaged
on the drive hub. Improper cooking or damage to the oven
could result. Verify that the Glass Tray is properly engaged and
rotating by observing its rotation when you press Start. Note: The Glass Tray can turn in either direction.
3. Use only the Glass Tray specifically designed for this oven.
DO NOT substitute any other Glass Tray.
4. If the Glass Tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing

5. DO NOT cook directly on the Glass Tray. Always place food in
a microwave safe dish, or on a rack set in a microwave safe dish.
6. If food or utensil on the Glass Tray touches oven walls, causing
the tray to stop moving, the tray will automatically rotate in the
opposite direction.
Roller Ring
1. The Roller Ring and oven floor should be cleaned frequently to
prevent excessive noise.
2. Always replace the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in their proper
positions.
3. The Roller Ring must always be used for cooking along with the
Glass Tray.
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 Glass Tray. The Glass
Tray can also be very HOT after
removing the cooking container
from the oven. The wire rack is
designed for use only in the browning mode and will be hot after
use. Care in handling must be exercised.
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, which is more
than 36 inches (91.6 cm) height from the ground. Place the front
surface of the door 3 inches (7.6 cm) 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 2 inches (5 cm) of space on top of the oven.
(a) DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during operation,
the oven may overheat and be damaged.
(b) DO NOT place oven near a hot, damp surface such as a gas
or electric range, or dishwasher.
(c) DO NOT operate oven when room humidity is excessive.
2. This oven is manufactured for household use only. It is not
approved or tested for mobile vehicle, marine, or commercial
use.
Installation
1. 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.
2. If the oven is designed for installation into a wall cabinet,
only use the proper Panasonic trim kit available from a local
Panasonic dealer, or online from the Panasonic Canada eStore.
Follow all instructions packed with the trim kit.
3. Use of a non-Panasonic trim kit will void the Manufacturer’s
warranty for the Microwave oven.
WARNING: IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING
PLUG 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 of the appliance. The marked rating of the
extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.
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 three-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 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,
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
• The extension cord must
be a grounding-type 3-wire
cord.
• 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.
3-Pronged Plug
Ground Plug
3-Prong Receptacle
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 15 A or 20 A, 120 V, 60Hz
GROUNDED OUTLET. (Beginning in 2017, all new construction
and all renovated single family homes must have at least a 20
A, 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.
3. The VOLTAGE used must be the same as specified on this
microwave oven (120V, 60Hz). 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.

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
Button (refer to page 18). 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 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.
• 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.
• For initial use of COMBINATION and GRILL, if you see white
smoke arise, it is not malfunction.

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 two beeps sound and
cooking time appears in the
display. 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 water nishes boiling, wipe interior of oven with a

cloves and ¼ cup of vinegar with 1 cup of water.
Both bone and fat affect cooking. Bones may cause
irregular cooking. Meat next to the tips of bones may
overcook while meat positioned under a large bone,
such as a ham bone, may be undercooked. Large
amounts of fat absorb microwave energy and the meat
next to these areas may overcook.
Density
Porous, airy foods such as breads, cakes or rolls take
less time to cook than heavy, dense foods such as
potatoes and roasts. When reheating donuts or other
foods with different centers be very careful. Certain
foods have centers made with sugar, water, or fat
and these centers attract microwaves (for example,
jelly donuts). When a jelly donut is heated, the jelly
can become extremely hot while the exterior remains
warm to the touch. This could result in a burn if the food is not allowed to
cool properly in the center.
Quantity
Two potatoes take longer to cook than one potato. As the
quantity of the food decreases so does the cooking time.
Overcooking will cause the moisture content in the food
to decrease and a fire could result. Never leave microwave
unattended while in use.
Shape
Uniform sizes heat more evenly. The thin end of a
drumstick will cook more quickly than the meaty end.
To compensate for irregular shapes, place thin parts
toward the center of the dish and thick pieces toward
the edge.
Cooking Techniques
Piercing
Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced, scored or have a strip of
skin peeled before cooking to allow steam to escape. Pierce clams, oysters,
chicken livers, whole potatoes and whole vegetables. Whole apples or new
potatoes should have a 1-inch (2.5 cm) strip of skin peeled before cooking.
Score sausages and frankfurters. 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.
Browning
Foods will not have the same brown appearance as conventionally cooked foods
or those foods which are cooked utilizing a browning feature. Meats and poultry
may be coated with browning sauce, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce or
shake-on browning sauce. To use, combine browning sauce with melted butter
or margarine and brush on before cooking. For quick breads or muffins, brown
sugar can be used in the recipe in place of granulated sugar, or the surface can be
sprinkled with dark spices before baking.
Spacing
Individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes and appetizers, will cook
more evenly if placed in the oven equal distances apart. When possible,
arrange foods in a circular pattern.
Covering
As with conventional cooking, moisture evaporates during microwave
cooking. Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. When using
plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by folding back part of the plastic wrap
from the edge of the dish to allow steam to escape. Loosen or remove plastic
wrap as recipe directs for standing time. When removing plastic wrap covers,
as well as any glass lids, be careful to remove them away from you to avoid
steam burns. Various degrees of moisture retention are also obtained by using
wax paper or paper towels.
Size
Thin pieces cook more quickly than thick pieces.
Shielding
Thin areas of meat and poultry cook more quickly than meaty portions. To
prevent overcooking, these thin areas can be shielded with strips of aluminum
foil. Wooden toothpicks may be used to hold the foil in place.
CAUTION is to be exercised when using foil. Arcing can occur if foil is too
close to oven wall or door and damage to your oven will result.
Starting Temperature
Foods that are at room temperature take less time to cook than
if they are chilled, refrigerated or frozen.
Cooking times will vary because of food shape variations, starting
temperature, and regional preferences. Always cook food for the minimum
cooking time given in a recipe and check for doneness. If the food is
undercooked, continue cooking. It is easier to add time to an undercooked
product. Once the food is overcooked, nothing can be done.

Page 26
Food Characteristics (continued)
Stirring
Stirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking. Always bring the
cooked outside edges toward the center and the less cooked center portions
toward the outside of the dish.
Rearranging
Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces, shrimp, hamburger patties or
pork chops. Rearrange pieces from the edge to the center and pieces from the
center to the edge of the dish.
Turning
It is not possible to stir some foods to distribute the heat evenly. At times,
microwave energy will concentrate in one area of the food. To help ensure
even cooking, these foods need to be turned. Turn over large foods, such as
roasts or turkeys, halfway through cooking.
Standing Time
Most foods will continue to cook by conduction after the microwave oven
is turned off. After cooking meat, the internal temperature will rise 5 °F to
15 °F (3 °C to 8 °C), if allowed to stand, tented with foil, for 10 to 15 minutes.
Casseroles and vegetables need a shorter amount of standing time, but this
standing time is necessary to allow foods to complete cooking to the center
without overcooking on the edges.
Test for Doneness
The same tests for doneness used in conventional cooking may be used for
microwave cooking. Meat is done when fork-tender or splits at fibers. Chicken
is done when juices are clear yellow and drumstick moves freely. Fish is done
when it flakes and is opaque. Cake is done when a toothpick or cake tester is
inserted and comes out clean.
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of
Agriculture’s recommended temperatures.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area
away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during
cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
Cook all food to these minimum internal temperatures as measured
with a food thermometer before removing food from oven. For
reasons of personal preference, you may choose to cook food at
higher temperatures.

the Glass Tray in the proper position and press Stop/Reset Button to clear the Display.
1. Outside oven surfaces: Clean with a damp cloth.
To prevent damage to the operating parts inside
the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into
ventilation openings.
2. Label: Do not remove. Wipe with a damp cloth.
3. Inside the Oven: Wipe with a damp cloth after
using. Mild detergent may be used if needed. Do not
use harsh detergents or abrasives.
4. Oven Door: Wipe with a soft dry cloth when steam
accumulates inside or around the outside of the
oven door. During cooking, especially under high
humidity conditions, steam is given off from the
food. (Some steam will condense on cooler surfaces, such as the oven door. This is normal.) Inside surface is covered with a heat and
vapor barrier film. Do not remove.
5. Oven Cavity Floor: Clean the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent, water or window cleaner, and dry.
6. Wave Guide Cover: Do not remove Wave Guide Cover. It is important to keep cover clean in the same manner as the inside of the
oven.
7. Control Panel: The Control Panel is covered with a removable protective film to prevent scratches during shipping. Small bubbles
may appear under this film, so if this is the case, remove by applying masking or clear tape to an exposed corner and pull gently. If
the Control Panel becomes wet, clean it with a soft dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
8. Glass Tray: Remove and wash in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.
9. Roller Ring: Roller Ring may be washed in mild soapy water or dishwasher. These areas should be kept clean to avoid excessive noise.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY. FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDENSATION MAY CAUSE
RUSTING OR ARCING AND DAMAGE TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE DRY ALL SURFACES,
INCLUDING VENT OPENINGS, OVEN SEAMS, AND UNDER GLASS TRAY.
NOTES:
1. After cooking, the oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water. If the oven is not cleaned occasionally to
eliminate grease, it can accumulate and cause the oven to “Smoke” during use.
2. DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN.
A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.

See below before calling for service, as most problems can easily be remedied by following these simple solutions:
ProblemSolution
The oven causes TV
interference.
Some radio, TV, Wi-Fi, cordless telephone, baby monitor, blue tooth or
other wireless equipment interference might occur when you cook with the
microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small
appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a
problem with your oven.
Steam accumulates
on oven door and
warm air comes from
the oven vents.
During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most of the
steam and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which circulates in the
oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on cooler surfaces such as the
oven door. This is normal. After use, the oven should be wiped dry (see page 27).
Smoke and burnt
smell will occur after
the first use.
This is not a malfunction and will go away after a few uses.
Oven will not turn on.
The oven is not plugged in securely or needs to be reset; remove plug from
outlet, wait ten seconds and re-insert.
Main circuit breaker or main fuse is tripped or blown. Reset main circuit breaker
or replace main fuse.
