Microwave Oven Safety
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to poten­tial hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER”, “WARNING” or “CAUTION”. These words mean:
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
CAUTION indicates a potentially haz­ardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
1. Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open­door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
2. Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
3. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
4. The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualifi ed service personnel.

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.
Placement of Oven
1. The oven must be placed on a fl at, stable surface. Place the front surface of the door 7.6 cm (3 inches) or more from the counter top edge to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven during normal use. For proper operation, the oven must have suffi cient air fl ow. Allow 7.6 cm (3 inches) of space on both sides of the oven and 5 cm (2 inches) of space on top of the oven. (a) DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may

INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
PLUG CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Consult a qualifi ed 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-prong polarized grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle that will accept the plug of the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING
(continued)
Grounding Instructions
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED.
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.
• Plug into properly installed and grounded 3-prong outlet.
• DO NOT remove ground prong.
• DO NOT use an adapter.
In the event of an electrical short circuit,
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 may be used if care is exercised in their use.
DO NOT
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used,
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
• The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or
let cord hang over edge of a table or counter.
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
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 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 specifi ed on this microwave oven (120 V, 60 Hz). Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fi re 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 specifi ed.
TV / RADIO / WIRELESS EQUIPMENT INTERFERENCE
This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Microwave Oven. This product can radiate radio frequency energy, which could cause interference to such products as radio, TV, baby monitor, cordless phone, Bluetooth, wireless router, etc., which can be confi rmed by turning this product off and on. If present, the user is encouraged to try to correct by taking one or more of the following countermeasures: (1) Increase the spacing distance between the microwave oven and other product

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.

Small strips of foil can be molded around thin parts of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if foil is too close to oven wall or door and damage to your oven will result.
Browning dishes are designed for microwave cooking only. Check browning dish information for instructions and heating chart. Do not preheat for more than 6 minutes.
Check manufacturers' use and care directions for use in microwave heating. Some dinnerware may state on the back of the dish, “Oven-Microwave Safe”.
CONTAINER TEST
Some frozen foods are packaged in these dishes. Can be purchased in grocery stores.
Most glass jars are not heat resistant. Do not use for cooking or reheating.
Ideal for microwave cooking and browning.
CONTAINER TEST
(See Not recommended for use in microwave ovens. Metal can
cause arcing and damage to your oven.
Follow manufacturers' directions. Close bag with the nylon tie provided, a strip cut from the end of the bag, or a piece of cotton string. Do not close with metal twist-tie. Make six (1 cm) slits near the closure.
Use to warm cooked foods, and to cook foods that require short cooking times such as hot dogs in the Microwave mode.
Use to warm rolls and sandwiches, only if labeled safe for microwave use.
Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may cause sparks or create a fi re hazard.
Use as a cover to prevent spattering. Safe for use in microwave, microwave/convection and conventional ovens.
Should be labeled, “Suitable for Microwave heating.” Check manufacturers' directions for recommended uses. Some microwave safe plastic containers are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat or sugar content. The heat from hot food may cause the plastic to warp.
Plastic foam will melt if foods reach a high temperature. Use to reheat foods to a low serving temperature only.
Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Should be labeled “Suitable for Microwave heating”. Check package directions.
Use only for short term reheating and to bring food to a low serving temperature. Wood may dry out & split or crack when used.
Not suitable for use in microwave oven,will cause sparks and get hot.
