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 eiectric current. This
appiiance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire witn 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 per
son if the grounding instructions are not com
pletely 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
avaiiable locally 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 appli
ance, (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 speci
fied on this microwave oven (120 V, 60 Hz).
Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may
result in a fire or other accident causing oven
damage. Using a lower voltage will cause slow
cooking. Panasonic is NOT responsible for dam
age resulting from the use of the oven with other
than 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 obliga
tion of the consumer to have it replaced with^
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 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

3. Only use Glass Tray specifically designed for this
oven. Do not substitute any other glass tray.
4. If Glass Tray is hot, allow to coo! before cleaning
or placing in water.
5. DO NOT cook directly on Glass Tray. Always
place food in a microwave-safe dish, or on a rack
set in a microivave-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 opposite direction. This
is normal.
7. Glass Tray can turn in either direction.
Roller Ring
1. Roller Ring and oven floor should be cleaned fre
quently 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.
Safety Precautions
Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven
IMPORTANT
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 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 can
ning temperature, improperiy 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
Ftipcom may be pepped in a mcfCwaMe c№n com
popper. Microwave popcorn which pops in its own
package is also available. Follow popcorn manufac
turers’ 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 unat
tended when popping popcorn. Allow the pop
corn bag to cool before opening, always open
the bag away from your face and body.
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 with
stand 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 pre
vent their bursting.
• Use fresh potatoes for baking and cook until ¡ust
done. Use recommended weights for programmed
cooking. Overcooking causes dehydration and
may result in a fire.
5) LIQUIDS
• Heated liquids can erupt if not mixed with air. DO
NOT heat liquids in your microwave oven without
first stirring.
_________
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 remov
ing 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 uten
sils 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 trans
fer 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 synthetic
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 warm while the interior can be
so hot as to burn the infant’s mouth and esopha
gus.
11) 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).
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.
