Installation

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. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. Place the front surface of the door 3 inches (7.6 cm) 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 sufficient airflow. Allow

4 inches (10.16cm) of space between oven top, sides,

rear and adjacent surfaces.

(a) DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during

operation, the oven may overheat and be damaged.

(b) DO NOT place oven near a hot, damp surface such as a

gas or electric range, sink, or dishwasher.

2. This oven is manufactured for household use only. It is not approved or tested for mobile vehicle, marine, or commercial use.

Installation

DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat. If the oven overheats, a thermal safety device will turn the oven off. The oven will remain inoperable until it has cooled.

2. The oven is designed for installation into a wall cabinet by using the proper trim kit available from a local Panasonic dealer, follow all instructions packed with the kit.

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-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.

Grounding Instructions

3-Pronged Plug

3-Prong Receptacle

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.

• Plug into properly installed and grounded three-prong

outlet.

• DO NOT remove ground prong.

• DO NOT use an adapter.

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. DO NOT let cord hang over edge of a table or counter.

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 three-wire

cord, and

(3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not

drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

Wiring Requirements

1. The oven must be operated on a DEDICATED 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 at least a 20 A, 120 V, 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.

Food Preparation

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

maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. The food may be contaminated and then spoil.

• DO NOT

bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization.

• DO NOT

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 that 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.

use your oven for home canning. Your oven cannot

use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby

dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven.

CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, you can follow recommended package instructions or use the Popcorn button (refer to page 10). Otherwise, the popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave the oven unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool before opening, and always open the bag facing away from your face and body to prevent steam burns.

Food Preparation (continued)

3) DEEP FAT FRYING

• DO NOT may burst into flames and may cause damage to the oven and may 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

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 1-inch (2.5 cm) of space between foil and interior oven walls or door.

• Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing may occur.
