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.
W ARNING—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.
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, or the food may take longer to cook 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 accident 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 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.
Glass Tray
1. DO NOT operate the oven without the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in place.
2. Only use the Glass Tray specifically designed for this oven. Do not substitute any other glass tray.
3. If the Glass Tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water.
4.
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.
5. If the 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. This is normal.
6. The Glass Tray can turn in either direction.
Roller Ring
1. The Roller Ring and oven floor should be cleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise.
2. The Roller Ring must always be used for cooking along with the Glass Tray.
3. Always replace the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in their proper positions.
Care of your Microwave Oven
Safety Precautions
1. Turn the oven off before cleaning. Make sure parts are cool.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent or liquid cleansers may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended.
3. The outside oven surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
4. Clean Control Panel with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents, abrasives or paper towelling. When cleaning the control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on. After cleaning, press
Stop/Reset
Pad to return to time-of-day.
5. Steam will be given off when cooking food and collect on the
oven walls and door. During conditions of high humidity, steam may occur on the outside of the oven and in no way indicates malfunction of the unit. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
6. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
7. The roller ring and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent, water or window cleaner and dry. The roller ring may be washed in mild sudsy water or dishwasher. Cooking vapours collect during repeated use, but in no way affect the bottom surface or roller rings wheels. When removing the roller ring from the cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace in the proper position.
8. Daily cleaning will prevent the accumulation of odours and soil.
Utensils
1. MICROWAVE BROWNING DISHES or GRILLS are designed for microwave cooking only. Preheating times vary depending on the size of the browning dish and food being cooked. Always follow instructions provided by the browning dish or grill manufacturer. DO NOT PREHEAT BROWNING DISH MORE THAN 6 MINUTES in microwave.
2. METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic trim should not be used. Arcing ( sparking ) may occur.
3. METAL TWIST-TIES should not be used in the microwave oven, arcing will occur.
4. DO NOT use SEALED JARS or NARROW NECK bottles for cooking or reheating. They may shatter.
5. DO NOT use CONVENTIONAL THERMOMETERS in the microwave oven. They may cause arcing.
6. Remove PLASTIC STORE WRAPS, before cooking or defrosting in the oven.
7. If an oven cooking bag is used, prepare according to package directions. Do not use wire twist-tie to close bag. Instead use plastic tie, a piece of cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make six 1 cm (
1
/2” ) slits by closure. Place oven cooking bag in a dish slightly larger than the food being cooked.
8. When using foil, skewers, rack or utensils made of metal in the oven, allow at least 2.5 cm ( 1” ) of space between metal material and interior oven walls. If arcing occurs remove metal material (skewers, etc.) and/or transfer to a non-metallic container.
9. Do not use paper towels or cloths which contain a synthetic fiber woven into them, such as nylon. The synthetic fiber may cause the towel or cloth to ignite. Use paper toweling under supervision.
Food
1. Do not use your oven for home canning or the heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
2. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, burn or catch on fire when overheated. If a fire occurs, turn oven off and leave oven door closed. Disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
3. Popcorn can be popped in a suitable, microwaveable corn popper using manufacturer’s directions OR prepackaged bags of microwave popcorn can be used with the preset Popcorn Pad program. Treat bag according to package directions.
4. Do not attempt to deep fry in your microwave oven. Temperature cannot be controlled and fat will erupt. Many microwave utensils cannot withstand the temperatures of heated oil, resulting in shattering or melting.
5. Do not boil eggs in their shell. Pressure will build up and the eggs will explode.
6. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and whites, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. This type of food must be pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting.
7. Use fresh potatoes, and cook until just done. The potatoes will still feel soft to the touch, but firm when pierced with a fork. Overcooking causes dehydration and may cause a fire.
8. Heat only 1 frozen dinner or entree in the oven at a time. If dinner or entree is heated in a foil tray, leave at least 2.5 cm ( 1” ) of space between foil tray and oven walls.
9. Drying meats, fruits, vegetables and herbs is not recommended .
