IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

16. Some products such as whole eggs with or without shell, narrow neck bottles and sealed containers — for example, closed glass jars — may explode and should not be heated in this oven.

17. To reduce the risk of ﬁ re in the oven cavity:

(a) DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or

other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

(b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in

oven.

off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

(d) DO NOT use the cavity for storage purposes. DO NOT leave paper prod-

ucts, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use.

18. Superheated Liquids

Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without showing evidence (or signs) of boiling. Visible bubbling is not always present when the container is removed from the microwave oven. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons: (a) STIR THE LIQUID BOTH BEFORE AND HALFWAY THROUGH HEAT-

ING IT.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

WARNING

TO AVOID THE RISK OF SHOCK:

DO NOT remove outer panel from oven. Repairs must be done only by a qualiﬁ ed

service person.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVE ENERGY:

DO NOT tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to Door,

Control Panel Frame, Safety Interlock Switches, or any other part of oven, microwave leakage may result.

TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE:

1. DO NOT operate the microwave oven empty or use metal con-

tainers. When using the microwave oven without water or food, microwave energy cannot be absorbed and will continuously reﬂ ect throughout the cavity. This will cause arcing and damage the oven cavity, door or other components, which can lead to a ﬁ re hazard.

2. DO NOT store ﬂ ammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven.

3. DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven, or use newspaper

or paper bags for cooking.

4. DO NOT hit or strike Control Panel. Damage to controls may occur.

5. DO NOT use recycled paper products unless the paper product is labeled as safe

for microwave oven use. Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may cause sparking.

TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING:

POT HOLDERS should always be used when removing items from the oven. Heat is

transferred from the HOT food to the cooking container and from the container to the Glass Tray. The Glass Tray can also be very HOT after removing the cooking container from the oven.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For proper use of your oven, read remaining safety cautions and operating instructions.

Glass Tray

1. DO NOT operate the oven without the Roller Ring and the 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 by observing its rotation when you press Start. NOTE: The Glass Tray can turn in either direction. Use only the Glass Tray speciﬁ cally designed for this oven. DO NOT substitute any

other glass tray. If the Glass Tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water.

5. DO NOT cook directly on the Glass Tray. Always place food in a microwave safe dish.

If food or utensils on the Glass Tray touch oven walls, causing the tray to stop mov-

ing, the tray will automatically rotate in the opposite direction.

Roller Ring

The Roller Ring and oven ﬂ oor should be cleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise.

Always replace the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in their proper positions.

The Roller Ring must always be used for cooking along with the Glass Tray.

INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS

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

Placement of Oven

1. The oven must be placed on a ﬂ at, 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 sufﬁ cient air ﬂ ow. Allow 3 inches (7.6 cm) of space on both sides of the oven and 2 inches (5 cm) of space on top of the oven. (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, 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

1. 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.

WARNING

install if oven is damaged.

IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING 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 on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

Grounding Instructions

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED. In the event of an electrical short cir-

cuit, 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.

INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

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 exer-

cised 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 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

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. The oven must be plugged into at least a 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. The VOLTAGE used must be the same as speciﬁ ed on this microwave oven (120 V, 60 Hz). Using a higher volt- age 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 INTERFERENCE

1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV or simi-

lar 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)

Defrosting Tips & Techniques

Preparation For Freezing:

1. Freeze meats, poultry, and ﬁ sh 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.

Sensor Reheat

Sensor Cook

Feature

This sensor feature allows you to reheat cooked, refrigerated food without setting time. The oven simpliﬁ es programming.

Example: To reheat a plate of food

optional

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.)

NOTE: Casseroles - Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of

liquid, cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. Stir when time appears in the display window. Canned Foods - Empty contents into casserole dish or serving bowl, cover dish with lid or vented plastic wrap. After reheating, let stand for a few minutes. Plate of food - Arrange food on plate; top with butter, gravy, etc. Cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. After reheating, let stand for a few minutes.

DO NOT USE SENSOR REHEAT:

1. To reheat bread and pastry products. Use manual power and time for these foods.

2. For raw or uncooked foods.

3. If oven cavity is warm.

4. For beverages.

5. For frozen foods.

This sensor feature allows you to cook food without setting time. The oven simpliﬁ es programming.

Example: To cook Frozen Entrées

Press 4 times

optional

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 95 °F (35 °C).

2. Food weight should exceed 4 oz. (110 g).

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 2 beeps sound and cooking time appears on the Display Window. Doing so will cause inaccurate cooking since the steam from food is no longer contained within the oven cavity. Once the cooking time begins 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.

• Press until the desired food number appears in the display window.

Food Characteristics

Cooking Techniques

Bone and Fat

Both bone and fat affect cooking. Bones may cause irregular cooking. Meat next to the tips of bones may overcook while meat positioned under a large bone, such as a ham bone, may be undercooked. Large amounts of fat absorb microwave energy and the meat next to these areas may overcook.

Density

Porous, airy foods such as breads, cakes or rolls take less time to cook than heavy, dense foods such as potatoes and roasts. When reheating donuts or other foods with different centers be very careful. Certain foods have centers made with sugar, water, or fat and these centers attract microwaves (For example, jelly donuts). When a jelly donut is heated, the jelly can become extremely hot while the exterior remains warm to the touch. This could result in a burn if the food is not allowed to cool properly in the center.

Quantity

Two potatoes take longer to cook than one potato. As the quantity of the food decreases so does the cooking time. Overcooking will cause the moisture content in the food to decrease and a ﬁ re could result. Never leave microwave unattended while in use.

Shape

Uniform sizes heat more evenly. The thin end of a drumstick will cook more quickly than the meaty end. To compensate for irregular shapes, place thin parts toward the center of the dish and thick pieces toward the edge.

Piercing

Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced scored or have a strip of skin peeled before cooking to allow steam to escape. Pierce clams, oysters, chicken livers, whole potatoes and whole vegetables. Whole apples or new potatoes should have a 1-inch strip of skin peeled before cooking. Score sausages and frankfurters. Do not Cook/Reheat whole eggs with or without the shell. Steam build up 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.

Browning

Foods will not have the same brown appearance as conventionally cooked foods or those foods which are cooked utilizing a browning feature. Meats and poultry may be coated with browning sauce, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce or shake-on browning sauce. To use, combine browning sauce with melted butter or margarine and brush on before cooking. For quick breads or mufﬁ ns, brown sugar can be used in the recipe in place of granulated sugar, or the surface can be sprinkled with dark spices before baking.

Spacing

Individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes and appetizers, will cook more evenly if placed in the oven equal distances apart. When possible, arrange foods in a circular pattern.

Size

Thin pieces cook more quickly than thick pieces.

Starting Temperature

Foods that are at room temperature take less time to cook than if they are chilled, refrigerated, or frozen.

Page 26

Cooking Techniques

(continued)

Covering

As with conventional cooking, moisture evaporates during microwave cooking. Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. When using plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by folding back part of the plastic wrap from the edge of the dish to allow steam to escape. Loosen or remove plastic wrap as recipe directs for stand time. When removing plastic wrap covers, as well as any glass lids, be careful to remove them away from you to avoid steam burns. Various degrees of moisture retention are also obtained by using wax paper or paper towels.

Shielding

Thin areas of meat and poultry cook more quickly than meaty portions. To prevent overcooking, these thin areas can be shielded with strips of aluminum foil. Wooden toothpicks may be used to hold the foil in place.

CAUTION is to be exercised when using foil. Arcing can occur if foil is too close to oven wall or door and damage to your oven will result.

Cooking time

A range of cooking time is given in each recipe. The time range compensates for the uncontrollable differences in food shapes, starting temperature, and regional preferences. Always cook food for the minimum cooking time given in a recipe and check for doneness. If the food is undercooked, continue cooking. It is easier to add time to an undercooked product. Once the food is overcooked, nothing can be done.

Stirring

Stirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking. Always bring the cooked outside edges toward the center and the less cooked center portions toward the outside of the dish.

Rearranging

Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces, shrimp, hamburger patties or pork chops. Rearrange pieces from the edge to the center and pieces from the center to the edge of the dish.

Turning

It is not possible to stir some foods to distribute the heat evenly. At times, microwave energy will concentrate in one area of the food. To help insure even cooking, these food need to be turned. Turn over large foods, such as roasts or turkeys, halfway through cooking.

Stand Time

Most foods will continue to cook by conduction after the microwave oven is turned off. In meat cookery, the internal temperature will rise 5 °F to 15 °F (3 °C to 8 °C), if allowed to stand, tented with foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Casseroles and vegetables need a shorter amount of standing time, but this standing time is necessary to allow foods to complete cooking to the center without overcooking on the edges.

Test for Doneness

The same tests for doneness used in conventional cooking may be used for microwave cooking. Meat is done when fork-tender or splits at ﬁ bers. Chicken is done when juices are clear yellow and drumstick moves freely. Fish is done when it ﬂ akes and is opaque. Cake is done when a toothpick or cake tester is inserted and comes out clean.

ABOUT FOOD SAFETY AND COOKING TEMPERATURE

Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures.

TEMP FOOD

160 °F ...for fresh pork, ground meat,

boneless white poultry, ﬁ sh, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.

165 °F ...for leftover, ready-to-reheat

refrigerated, and deli and carryout “fresh” food.

170 °F ...white meat of poultry.

180 °F ...dark meat of poultry.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven

BEFORE CLEANING:

Unplug oven at wall outlet. If outlet is inaccessible, leave oven door open while cleaning.

Label:

Do not remove, wipe with a damp cloth.

Inside of the oven:

Wipe with a damp cloth after using. Mild detergent may be used if needed. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.

Oven Door:

Wipe with a soft dry cloth when steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door. During cooking, especially under high humidity conditions, steam is given off from the food. (Some steam will condense on cooler surfaces, such as the oven door. This is normal.) Inside surface is covered with a heat and vapor barrier ﬁ lm. Do

not remove.

Roller Ring and oven cavity ﬂ oor:

Clean the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent water or window cleaner, and dry. Roller Ring may be washed in mild soapy water or dishwasher. These areas should be kept clean to avoid excessive noise.

Glass Tray:

Remove and wash in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.

AFTER CLEANING:

Be sure to place the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in the proper position and press

Stop/Reset button to clear the Display.

Outside oven surfaces:

Clean with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into ventilation openings.

Control Panel:

* Covered with a

removable protective ﬁ lm to prevent scratches during shipping. Small bubbles may appear under this ﬁ lm. (Hint -

To remove ﬁ lm, apply masking or clear tape to an exposed corner and pull gently.)

* If the Control Panel

becomes wet, clean it with a soft dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.

Do not remove wave guide cover: It is important to keep cover clean in the same manner as the inside of the oven.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY. FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDENSATION MAY CAUSE RUSTING OR ARCING AND DAMAGE TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE DRY ALL SURFACES-INCLUDING VENT OPENINGS, OVEN SEAMS, AND UNDER GLASS TRAY.
