Panel de Control

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General Use

1. DO NOT tamper with
or make any adjust­ments or repairs to
door, Control Panel
housing, safety inter­lock switches or any
other part of the oven.
DO NOT remove outer
panel from oven. Repairs must only be done
by a qualified service person.

2. DO NOT operate the
oven empty. The
microwave energy will
reflect continuously
throughout the oven
causing overheating if
food or water is not
present to absorb
energy. This could damage the oven and
result in the risk of a fire.

3. DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other
materials in oven, or use newspapers or
paper bags for cooking. Fire could result.

4. 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
sparks, and result in fires when used.

5. DO NOT hit or strike Control Panel. Damage
to controls may occur. Fire could result.

6. 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 cooking container to
the Glass Tray. The Glass Tray can be very
HOT after removing cooking container from
oven. The wire rack can also be very HOT
after use of the oven.

7. DO NOT store flammable materials next to,
on top of, or in the oven. These could be fire
hazards.

8. DO NOT allow grease accumulation or food
to touch heating elements.

Glass Tray

1. DO NOT operate the oven without Roller Ring
and 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.

3. Only use 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 in water.

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 Glass Tray touches oven
walls, causing the tray to stop moving, the tray
will automatically rotate in the opposite direc­tion. This is normal.

7. Glass Tray can turn in either direction.

Roller Ring

1. Roller Ring and oven floor should be cleaned
frequently to prevent excessive noise.

2. Roller Ring must always be used for cooking
along with Glass Tray.

3. Always replace Roller Ring and Glass Tray in
their proper positions.

Practical Hints:

1. Before using Brown function for the first time,
wipe excessive oil off in oven cavity. Operate
the oven without food and accessories on
Brown, for 20 minutes. This will allow the oil
that is used for rust protection to be burned
off.

2. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on
the cabinet and the oven door will get hot dur­ing Brown. Use care when opening or closing
door and when inserting or removing food and
accessories.

Sugerencias Utiles

IMPORTANTE
La cocción adecuada depende de la potencia, tiempo
designado y cantidad de comida. Si usa una porción
menor a la recomendada y cocina por el tiempo para la
opción recomendada, puede resultar en un incendio.

1) ENLATADO CASERO/ALIMENTOS DESHIDRA TA­DOS/ PEQUEÑAS CANTIDADES DE ALIMENTO

• No use su horno para el enlatado casero o para calentar

cualquier frasco cerrado. La presión aumentará y el frasco
puede explotar. Su horno no puede mantener los alimen­tos a la temperatura apropiada de enlatado.

• Pequeñas cantidades de alimento o alimentos con bajo

contenido de humedad se pueden secar, quemar o incen­diarse.

• No seque alimentos, hierbas, frutas o vegetales en su

horno.

3) FREIR CON MUCHA GRASA

• NO trate de freir con mucha grasa en su horno de

microondas. Cocinar aceites puede estallar en flamas y
puede causar daño al horno y quiza acabar en que­maduras. Los utensilios de microondas pueden no ser
utiles para soportar la temperatura del aceite caliente, y
podrían romperse o derretirse.

4) ALIMENTOS CON PIELES NO POROSAS

• Papas, manzanas, yemas de huevo, calabazas com-

pletas y salchichas son ejemplos de alimentos con
pieles no porosa. Estos tipos de alimentos deben ser

perforados antes de cocinarlos con Microondas para evi­tar que estallen.

• Use papas frescas para hornear y cocinelas hasta que

esten listas. Use los pesos recomendados o puede ocurrir
un incendio. Cocinar demasiado causar deshidratación y
puede resultar en un incendio.

5) BANDEJA DE CRISTAL / UTENSILIOS DE
COCINA / PAPEL DE ALUMINIO

• Los utensilios para cocinar se calientan durante la cocción

en microondas. El calor es transferido de la comida
CALIENTE al recipiente y la Bandeja de Cristal. Use
manoplas para tomar ollas cuando saque los utensilios del
horno o cuando quite tapas o cubiertas de envoltura de
plástico de los utensilios de cocina para evitar que­maduras.

• La Bandeja de Cristal se calentará durante la cocción.

Debe permitir que se enfríe antes antes de manejarla o
antes de colocar productos de papel, tales como platos de
papel o bolsas de palomitas de maíz para microondas,
para cocinar.

• Cuando use papel de aluminio, brochetas, rejillas para

calentar o utensilios hechos de metal en el horno, deje por
lo menos 1 pulgada (2,5 cm) de espacio entre el material
de metal y las paredes interiores del horno. Si ocurren
arcos (chispeos), retire el material de metal (brochetas
etc.) y/o transfieralo a un contenedor no metálico.

• Platos con adornos metálicos no deberán ser usados, ya

que pueden producirse arcos eléctricos.

• Si se calienta una entrada en una bandeja de aluminio,

mantenga al menos un espacio de 1 pulgada (2.5 cm)
desde la pared del horno.

6) TOALLAS DE PAPEL / TELAS

• NO use toallas de papel o telas que contengan fibras

sintéticas en su tejido. La fibra sintética puede causar que
la toallla se incendie. Use toallas de papel bajo supervisión

7) BANDEJA DORADOR / BOLSAS PARACOCINAR

• Las bandejas doradoras o rejillas están diseñadas para

cocinar en microondas solamente. Siempre siga las
instrucciones dadas por el fabricante. NO precaliente la
bandeja doradora más de 6 minutos.

• Si usa una bolsa para cocinar en el microondas, prepare

de acuerdo a las instrucciones del paquete. NO use suje­tadores de alambre para cerrar la bolsa, en vez de eso
use cordones plásticos, hilos de algodón o un pedazo cor­tado de la esquina libre de la bolsa

8) TERMÓMETROS

• NO use termómetros convencionales para alimentos en

su horno. Pueden producir un arco. Termómetros a prue­ba de microondas están disponibles para carne y pasteles

9) P APILLAS / COMIDAS PARA BEBÉ

• NO caliente papillas o alimentos para bebés en el

microondas. Los jarros de cristal o superficies de la comi­da pueden parecer no muy calientes mientras que en el
interior pueden estar tan calientes como para quemar la
boca y esófago de un infante.

10) RECALENT AMIENT O DE PASTAS

• Cuando recaliente pastas, verifique la temperatura de todo

el contenido antes de comer. Algunas comidas tienen
lugares que se calientan mucho más rápido que otros y
pueden estar extremadamente calientes, mientras que la
superficie restante continua tibia al tacto (por ej. Roscas
de Gelatina).

11) GUÍADE USO GENERAL DEL HORNO

• NO use el horno por cualquier razón que no sea la

preparación de alimento

• NO deje el horno desatendido mientras esté en uso.

Siga estas Precauciones de Seguridad Cuando Cocine en Su Horno.

2) PALOMITAS DE MAIZ
Las palomitas de maíz deben prepararse en un recipi­ente para palomitas de maíz adecuado para horno de
microondas. Las palomitas de maíz para horno de
microondas que se preparan en su propio paquete
también están disponibles. Siga las intrucciones del fab­ricante de palomitas de maíz y use una marca adecua­da para la potencia de su horno de microondas.

PRECAUCIÓN: Cuando use palomitas de maíz para
microondas previamente empacadas siga las
instrucciones recomendas en el paquete. Revise el
peso del paquete antes de usar el pulsador
Palomitas del Maíz (vea la sección del Pulsador
Palomitas de Maíz). Ajuste el horno para el peso del
paquete de palomitas de maíz. Si no se siguen las
instrucciones, las palomitas de maíz pueden no
reventar adecuadamente o pueden encenderse y
causar un incendio. Nunca deje desatendido el
horno cuando prepare palomitas de maíz. Deje
enfriar el paquete de palomitas de maíz antes de
abrir, y siempre abra el paquete lejos de su cara y
cuerpo para prevenir quemaduras por vapor.

INSTALLA TION AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Examine Your Oven

Unpack oven, remove all packing materi­al, and examine the oven for any dam­ages 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. Oven must be placed on a flat, stable
surface. For proper operation, the oven
must have sufficient air flow. Allow 3­inches (7.6 cm) of space on both sides
of the oven and 1-inch (2.5 cm) of
space of space on top of oven.
a. DO NOT block air vents.

If they are blocked during operation,
the oven may be overheated and
damaged.
When using any cloth over the oven,
the air intake and exhaust should not
be blocked. Also should allow space
on back and both sides of oven prop­erly.

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 too high.

2. This oven was manufactured for

household use only, on the countertop
above 3Ft (916 mm).

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.

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 blade
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.

Power Supply

1. Ashort 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.

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, the circuit break­er may trip, or the food may cook slow­er than the times recommended in this
manual.

2. 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
another incident causing 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.

3. The oven must be plugged into at least
a 15 AMP, 120 VOLT, 60 Hz GROUND ­ED OUTLET. Where a standard two­prong outlet is encountered, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of
the consumer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong outlet.

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

INSTRUCCIONES DE INSTALACION Safety Precautions

IMPORT ANT
Proper cooking depends upon the power, the
time set and quantity of food. If you use a
smaller portion than recommended and cook at
the time for the recommended portion, fire
could result.

1) HOME CANNING / 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. Improperly canned food may
spoil and be dangerous to consume.

•

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

3) DEEP FAT FRYING

•

Do not attempt to 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 be able to
withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and could
shatter or melt.

4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS

•

Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole eggs,
whole squash and sausages are examples of
foods with nonporous skins. These types of

foods must be pierced before microwave cooking
to prevent their bursting.

•

Use fresh potatoes for baking and cook until just
done. Use recommended weights for pro

-

grammed cooking. Overcooking causes dehydra

-

tion and may result in a fire.

5) GLASS TRAY / COOKING UTENSILS / FOIL

•

Cooking utensils get hot during microwaving. Heat
is transferred from the HOT food to the container

and the Glass Tray. Use potholders when remov­ing utensils from the oven or when removing lids
or plastic wrap covers from cooking utensils, 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, skewers, warming rack or uten­sils made of metal in the oven, allow at least 1­inch (2.5 cm) of space between metal material
and interior oven walls. If arcing occurs (sparking),
remove metal material (skewers etc.) and/or trans­fer to a non-metallic container.

•

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

•

If an entree is heated in a foil tray, maintain at
least 1-inch (2.5 cm) spacing from the oven walls.

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 follow 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 / FOOD

• DO NOT heat baby formula or 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 tempera-

tures 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 (ex. Jelly Donuts).

11) GENERALOVEN USAGE GUIDELINES

•

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

•

DO NOT leave oven unattended while in use.

Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven

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 wattage of your microwave oven.

CAUTION: When using pre-packaged
microwave popcorn, follow recommended
package instructions. Check package weight
before using the Popcorn pad (see Popcorn
Pad section). Set the oven for the weight of
the popcorn package.
If these instructions are not followed, 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 away
from your face and body to prevent steam burns.

Defrosting Tips & Techniques

Before 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, i.e. create a vacuum.

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 on microwave safe roasting rack in an appropriately sized dish.

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

4. Drain liquids during defrosting.

5. Turn over (invert) items during defrosting.

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

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

After Defrosting:

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

2. Let stand, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for time shown in the chart below.

3. See chart below for standing time and rinsing directions.

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

soapy water or in a dishwasher.

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.

Oven Door:

Wipe with a soft 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 vapour barrier film. Do not
remove.

Roller Ring and oven cavity

Additional Method for

Cooking Popcorn

When using popcorn pad, the weight may
not be the same as offered. By using the
number pad 1or 0, the programs can be
adjusted to cook popcorn for a heavier or
lighter weight.

Press 1or 0pads before pressing Start.

NOTES ON POPCORN PAD:

1. Use prepackaged room temperature
microwave popcorn. Read manufacturers'
instructions.

2. Place bag in oven according to manufacturers'
directions.

3. Pop only one bag at a time.

4. To obtain best cooking results, fold in the four
corners of the bag, so that bag turns freely.

5. After popping, allow the contents of the bag to
cool for a few minutes before opening. Open
bag carefully away from face and body
because popcorn and steam are extremely hot.

6. Do not reheat unpopped kernels or reuse bag.

7. NEVER leave oven unattended when pop-

ping popcorn. Stop the oven when popping
slows to 2 to 3 seconds between pops.
Overcooking may cause scorching.

REMARK:

1. Popcorn bags of various weight may have the
same cooking time.

2. Cooking time for popcorn may vary with power
line voltage.

Cooking Techniques Cooking Techniques

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.

Timing

A range in cooking time is given in each recipe.
The time range compensates for the uncontrol­lable differences in food shapes, 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.

Stirring

Stirring is usually necessary during microwave
cooking. We have noted when stirring is helpful,
using the words once, twice, frequently, or occa­sionally to describe the amount of stirring neces­sary. 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 redistribute
the heat. At times, microwave energy will concen­trate in one area of a food. To help insure even
cooking, these foods need to be turned. Turn
over large foods, such as roasts or turkeys,
halfway through cooking.

Stand Time

Most foods will continue to cook by conduction
after the microwave oven is turned off. In meat
cookery, 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. Candy is done when it reaches the proper
temperature for each stage of crystallization.

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 stand
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. However,
unless specified, a recipe is cooked covered.

These are tested and pre-timed (based on the
power rating of this oven) for the quantity of food
listed in the chart on page 13. Locale, power fluc­tuations and personal tastes are not taken into
account. Should you prefer your food cooked dif­ferently, use power and time method shown on
page 8.

Food Characteristics Cooking Techniques

Bone and Fat

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 ex., 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 increases so does
the cooking time. When cooking small amounts of
food such as one or two potatoes, do not leave
oven unattended. The moisture content in the
food may decrease and a fire could result.

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.

Size

Thin pieces cook more quickly than thick pieces.

Starting Temperature

Foods that are room temperature take less time
to cook than if they are chilled, refrigerated, or
frozen.

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 whole egg
yolks and whites, clams, oysters, chicken livers,
whole potatoes and whole vegetables. Whole
apples or new potatoes should have a 1-inch strip
of skin peeled before cooking. Score sausages
and frankfurters.

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;
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.

Auto Cook

The following chart is the recommended serving/weights for Auto Cook.

* Category 1, 2, 3, 4

These menu items use microwave energy
only. Place food onto the glass tray.

* Category 5, 6, 7, 8
