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 a 15 A or 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. 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.
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 confirmed 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 receiving the interference.
(2) If possible, use a properly installed receiver antenna and/or
reorient the receiving antenna of the other product receiving
the interference.
(3) Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet from the other
product receiving the interference.
(4) Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven. (See Care and
Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven)
The Hood
1. The vent fan in your oven will operate automatically under
certain cooktop operating conditions. This is normal. Caution
is required to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental
cooking fires while the vent fan is in operation.
2. Never leave surface units unattended at high heat setting. Boil
over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite
and spread if vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic
fan operation, use adequate sized utensils and use high heat
settings only when necessary.
3. In the event of a grease fire, smother flaming pan on surface unit
by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or
flat tray.
4. Keep hood and grease filters clean, according to instructions on
page 24, to maintain adequate venting and avoid grease fires.
5. To protect the automatic fan feature, always keep the filter clean
(see page 24). Should the fan require repair, do not operate
microwave oven until it has been repaired.
6. Charcoal filter should be replaced periodically. It may be
purchased from a local Panasonic dealer.
Indoor Venting
If the air exhaust must be recirculated by this unit inside the
kitchen, a charcoal filter must be used. A charcoal filter has been
installed for your convenience. However, we recommend that
this filter be changed as soon as possible with the replacement
charcoal filter kit (NN-CF203) that can be purchased from your local
Panasonic dealer.
Fan Motor Operation
After using the oven repeatedly or for long time, the fan may
operate to cool the electric components. This is perfectly normal,
and you can take out the food from the oven while the fan
operates.
Installation and Grounding Instructions (continued)
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
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 pad
(refer to page 16). 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.
