INSTALLATION AND gROUNDINg INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
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 a 15 aMP or 20 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.
3.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 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.
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)Place the radio, tV, etc. away from the microwave oven as far as possible.
(b)use a properly installed antenna to obtain stronger signal reception.
(c)Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven. (See Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven)
The Hood
1.The vent fan in your oven will operate automatically under certain cooktop operating conditions. This is normal. Caution is required to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in operation.
2.never leave surface units unattended at high heat setting. Boil over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if vent fan is operating. to minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized utensils and use high heat settings only when necessary.
3.In the event of a grease fire, smother flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
4.Keep hood and grease filters clean, according to instructions on page 28, to maintain adequate venting and avoid grease fires.
5.to protect the automatic fan feature, always keep the filter clean (see page 28). Should the fan require repair, do not operate microwave oven until it has been repaired.
6.Charcoal filter should be replaced periodically. It may be purchased from a local Panasonic dealer.
Indoor venting
If the air exhaust must be recirculated by this unit inside the kitchen, a charcoal filter must be used. a charcoal filter has been installed for your convenience. however, we recommend that this filter be changed as soon as possible with the replacement charcoal filter kit (nn-CF203) that can be purchased from your local Panasonic dealer.
fan motor Operation
After using the oven repeatedly or for long time, the fan may operate to cool the electric components. This is perfectly normal, and you can take out the food from the oven while the fan operates.

Safety Precautions
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 which 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 key (refer to page 14). Otherwise, 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 facing away from your face and body to prevent steam burns.
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 perhaps result in burns. Microwave utensils may not withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt.
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 2.5 cm (1-inch) of space between foil and interior oven walls or door.
• Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing may occur.
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 for longer 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 / 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 (e.g. Jelly Donuts).
11) gENERAL OvEN USAgE gUIDELINES
• DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the preparation of food.

Defrosting Tips & Techniques
Preparation for 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.
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 in microwave safe dish.
3.Place roasts fat-side down. Place whole poultry breast-side down.
4.Select power and minimum time so that items will be under-defrosted.
5.Drain liquids during defrosting.
6.turn over (invert) items during defrosting.
7.Shield edges and ends if needed. (See Cooking techniques).
After Defrosting:
1.Large items may be icy in the center. Defrosting will complete during StanDInG tIMe.
2.Let stand, covered, following stand time directions on page 16.
3.Rinse foods indicated in the chart.
4.Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer stand time.

Cooking is complete when 5 beeps sound. (When steam is detected by the Genius Sensor and 2 beeps sound, the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window.)
for the best results with the GENIUS SENSor, follow these recommendations.
bEfORE Reheating/Cooking:
1.the room temperature surrounding the oven should be below 35° C (95° F).
2.Food weight should exceed 110 g (4 oz.).
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 the end of cooking or 2 beeps sound. Doing so will cause inaccurate cooking since the steam from food is no longer contained within the oven cavity. If 2 beeps sounds, the remaining cooking time will begin to count down. the oven door may be opened to stir, turn, or rearrange foods.
AfTER Reheating/Cooking:
all foods should have a stand time.
