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 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 Supply1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entan- gled in or tripping over a longer cord. 2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are avail- able 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 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 Requirements1. The oven must be on a SEPARATE CIRCUIT. No other appliance should share the circuit with the microwave oven. If it does, the branch cir- cuit 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 specified on this microwave oven (120 V, 60 Hz). Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other incident causing oven damage. Using a lower voltage will cause slow cooking. Panasonic is NOT responsible for damage resulting from the use of the oven with other than the 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 oblig- ation of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong out- let.

6 Safety Precautions IMPORTANTProper cooking depends upon the power, the time set and the 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 NOTuse your oven for home canning, your oven cannot maintain the food at the proper can- ning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. DO NOTdry 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 3) DEEP FAT FRYING DO NOTattempt 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 withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and could shatter or melt. 4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS Potatoes, apples, whole eggs, egg yolks, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins.These types of foods must be pierced before microwave cooking to prevent their bursting. Use fresh potatoes for baking and cook until just done. Use recommended weights for programmed cooking. Overcooking causes dehydration andmay result in a fire.5) LIQUIDS Liquids can become superheated in a microwave, and when the container is moved in any way, the superheated liquids can explode out of the container. Superheated water is hotter than boiling water, EVEN THOUGH IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BUBBLE. To reduce the possibilityof this occurrence: Always make sure that liquids are stirred vigorouslybefore heating to assure that the liquid is mixed with air. NEVER HEAT LIQUIDS FOR AN EXCESSIVE LENGTH OF TIME. 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 1- inch (2.5 cm) of space between metal material and interior oven walls. If arcing occurs (spark- ing), remove metal material (skewers etc.) and/or transfer to a non-metallic container. Dishes with metallic trim should notbe 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 NOTuse paper towels or cloths which con- tain a synthetic fiber woven into them. The syn- thetic 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.

DO NOTuse 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 NOTuse 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 NOTheat baby formula or food in the microwave oven. The glass jar or surface of the food may appear to be only warm while the interi- or can be so hot as to burn the infant’s mouth and esophagus. 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 NOTuse the oven for any reason other than the preparation of food. DO NOTleave oven unattended while in use. Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven corn popper. Microwave popcorn which pops in its own package is also available. Follow pop- corn manufacturers’ 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 unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool before opening, always open the bag away from your face and body to prevent steam burns. 7 Cookware and Utensil Guide ITEM MICROWAVE COMMENTS Yes for Small strips of foil can be molded around thin parts of Aluminum Foil Shielding meat or poultry to prevent overcooking.

If the container is hot, it has absorbed some microwave energy and should NOT be used. This test cannot be used for plastic containers.
6 Safety Precautions IMPORTANTProper cooking depends upon the power, the time set and the 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 NOTuse your oven for home canning, your oven cannot maintain the food at the proper can- ning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume. DO NOTdry 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 3) DEEP FAT FRYING DO NOTattempt 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 withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and could shatter or melt. 4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS Potatoes, apples, whole eggs, egg yolks, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins.These types of foods must be pierced before microwave cooking to prevent their bursting. Use fresh potatoes for baking and cook until just done. Use recommended weights for programmed cooking. Overcooking causes dehydration andmay result in a fire.5) LIQUIDS Liquids can become superheated in a microwave, and when the container is moved in any way, the superheated liquids can explode out of the container. Superheated water is hotter than boiling water, EVEN THOUGH IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BUBBLE. To reduce the possibilityof this occurrence: Always make sure that liquids are stirred vigorouslybefore heating to assure that the liquid is mixed with air. NEVER HEAT LIQUIDS FOR AN EXCESSIVE LENGTH OF TIME. 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.

Three defrost categories are preset in your oven: Ground Meat, Poultry, and Steaks/Chops. See the Auto Defrost Chart on the next page. NOTES: For added convenience, AUTO DEFROST has a built-in reminder tone to tell you when to check, turn over, sepa- rate, or rearrange food. The oven will sound a tone during the defrost cycle. At the tone, open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange food. Remove any portions that have thawed. Return frozen portion to the oven and touch START to resume the defrost cycle. You can defrost foods that weigh 0.1 to 6.0 lbs. For best results: Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook. Shape ground meat into the form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrost- ing, remove thawed meat when the reminder tone sounds and continue defrosting. Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave roasting rack to catch drip- pings. Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven. Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs. of ground beef. Touch: Display Shows: 1.once for Meat. 3.to start the oven. 4.At the end of the defrost time, two short tones and one long tone will sound. The oven will stop. 2. to enter 1.2 lbs.
