Radio Interference

1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause

interference to your radio, TV or similar
equipment.

2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or

eliminated by taking the following measures:
a. Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven

(See Care of Your Microwave Oven found on
page 25)

b. Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the

microwave oven as far as possible.

c. Use a properly installed antenna to obtain

stronger signal reception.

Fan Motor Operation

After using the oven, the fan rotate to cook the
electric components. This is perfectly normal, and
you can take out the food from the oven while the
fan operates.

2) POPCORN

3) DEEP FAT FRYING

DO NOT 

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 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 

are examples of foods with non-

porous 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.

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 / 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.

Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven

Popcorn must be popped in a microwave oven
corn popper. Microwave popcorn which 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 17). Otherwise, 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 bod to prevent
steam burns.

Installation & Grounding Instructions

Practical Hints

Ceramic Tray

1.

DO NOT

operate the oven without the Roller

Ring and the Ceramic Tray in place.

2.

DO NOT

operate the oven without the Ceramic

Tray fully engaged on the drive hub. Improper
cooking or damage to the oven could result.
Verify that the Ceramic Tray is properly engaged
and rotating by observing its rotation when you
press Start.

Note:

The Ceramic Tray can turn in

either direction.

3. Use only the Ceramic Tray specifically designed

for this oven.

DO NOT

substitute any other ceramic tray.

4. If the Ceramic Tray is hot, allow to cool before

cleaning or placing in water.

5.

DO NOT

cook directly on the Ceramic Tray.

Always place food in a microwave safe dish, or
on a rack set in a microwave safe dish.

6. If food or utensils on the Ceramic Tray touch

oven walls, causing the tray to stop moving, the
tray will automatically rotate in the opposite
direction.

Roller Ring

1. The Roller Ring and oven floor should be

cleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise.

2. Always replace the Roller Ring and the Ceramic

Tray in their proper positions.

3. The Roller Ring must always be used for cooking

along with the Ceramic Tray.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

Placement of Your Oven

1. Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface.

For proper operation, the oven must have
sufficient air flow. Allow 3’’ ( 8 cm ) of space on
both sides of the oven and 6” ( 15 cm ) of space
on top of the oven.
a. 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.

b. DO NOT place the oven near a hot, damp

surface such as a gas or electric range, or
dishwasher.

c. DO NOT operate the oven when room

humidity is too high.

2. This oven was manufactured for household use

only.

3. This oven may be built into a wall cabinet, if

desired, by using the proper trim kit, which may
be purchased from a local dealer.
Follow all installation instructions packed with kit.

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.

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 it is uncertain whether the
appliance is properly grounded or not.
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 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.

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

Wiring Requirements

1. The oven must be 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, or
the food may cook slower than recommended in
this manual.

2. The VOLTAGE used must be the same as

specified on this microwave oven (120 V). Using
a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in
a fire or other accident 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
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
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the consumer
to have it replaced with
a properly grounded 
three-prong outlet.
