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.

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 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.
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.
