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.Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 4-inches (10 cm) of space on both sides and 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.

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.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.

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 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 other incident causing oven damage. Using a lower voltage will cause slow cooking. Panasonic is NOT responsible for damage resulting from the use of the oven with other than the specified voltage.

3.The oven must be plugged into at least a 20 AMP, 120 VOLT, 60 Hz GROUNDED OUTLET. Where a standard two-prong outlet is encoun-

tered, 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 reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:

a.Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven. (See Care of Your Microwave Oven)

b.Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the microwave oven as far as possible.

c.Use a properly installed antenna to obtain stronger signal reception.

Glass Tray

1.DO NOT operate the oven without Rotating 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.

Rotating Ring

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

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

3.Always replace Rotating Ring and Glass Tray

5	in their proper positions.

Safety Precautions

Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven

IMPORTANT

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

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.

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, whole eggs, egg yolks, 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 programmed

cooking. Overcooking causes dehydration and may result in a fire.

5) LIQUIDS

•Liquids can become "superheated" in a microwave, and when the container is moved in any way, the superheated liquids can "explode" out of the container. "Superheated" water is hotter than boiling water, EVEN THOUGH IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BUBBLE. To reduce the possibility

of this occurrence:

Always make sure that liquids are stirred vigorously before heating to assure that the liquid is mixed with air. NEVER HEAT LIQUIDS FOR AN EXCESSIVE LENGTH OF TIME.

6) 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 1- inch (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.

7) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS

•DO NOT use paper towels or cloths which contain a synthetic fiber woven into them. The syn-

thetic fiber may cause the towel to ignite. Use paper toweling under supervision.

8)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.

9)THERMOMETERS

•DO NOT use a conventional meat thermometer in your oven. Arcing may occur. Microwave-safe

thermometers are available for both meat and candy.

10) BABY FORMULA / FOOD

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

11) 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 (ex. Jelly Donuts).

12) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES

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

•DO NOT leave oven unattended while in use.
