“PRECAU-
TIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPO-
SURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY,”
found on the inside front cover.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect
only to properly grounded outlet. See
“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS”
found
on page 5.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in
accordance with the installation instruc-
tions found on page 5.
5. Do not cover or block any openings on this
appliance.
6. Do not store or use this appliance out-

basement, or near a swimming pool, and
the like.
7. Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
DO NOT
use corro-
sive chemicals, vapors, or non-food products
in this appliance. This type of oven is specifi-
cally designed to heat or cook. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use. The
use of corrosive chemicals in heating or clean-
ing will damage the appliance and may result
in radiation leaks.
8. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven

use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or
detergents applied with a sponge or soft
cloth.
9. Do not allow children to use this appliance,
unless closely supervised by an adult.
10. Do not operate this appliance if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged or
dropped.
11. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
12. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
13. Do not let cord hang over edge of a table or
counter.
14. This appliance should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Contact the
nearest authorized servicenter for examina-
tion, repair or adjustment.
15. Some products such as whole eggs, nar-
row neck bottles and sealed containers—
for example, closed glass jars—may
explode and should not be heated in this oven.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
(a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
appliance if paper, plastic, or other com-
bustible materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
(b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
(c)
If materials inside the oven should
ignite, keep oven door closed, turn
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 purpos-
es. Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils, or food in the cavity when not in
use.
General Use
1.
DO NOT
tamper with or
make any adjustments or
repairs to door, Control
Panel housing, safety
interlock switches or any
other part of the oven.
DO
NOT
remove outer panel
from oven. Repairs
should only be done by a qualified service per-
son.
2.
DO NOT
operate the oven
empty. The microwave
energy will reflect continu-
ously throughout the oven
causing overheating, if
food or water is not pre-
sent to absorb energy. This could damage the
oven and result in the risk of a fire.
3.
DO NOT
dry clothes, newspapers or other mate-
rials in oven, or use newspapers or paper bags
for cooking. Fire could result.
4.
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 sparks, and result in
fires when used.
5.
DO NOT
hit or strike Control Panel. Damage to
controls may occur. Fire could result.
6.
POT HOLDERS
should always be used when
removing items from the oven. Heat is trans-
ferred from the
HOT
food to the cooking contain-
er and from the cooking container to the Glass
Tray. The Glass Tray can be very
HOT
after
removing the cooking container from the oven.
7.
DO NOT
store flammable materials next to, on top
of, or in the oven. These could be fire hazards.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For proper use of your oven read remaining safety cautions and operating instructions.
Your microwave oven is a cooking device and you should use as much care as you use with a
stove or any other cooking device. When using this electric appliance, basic safety precau-
tions should be followed, including the following:
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
install if oven is damaged.
Placement of Oven
1. Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface.
For proper operation, the oven must have suffi-
cient air flow. Allow 4-inches (10 cm) of space
on both sides and top of oven.
a.
DO NOT
block air vents.
If they are blocked during operation, the
oven may be overheated and damaged.
When using any cloth over the oven, the air
intake and exhaust should not be blocked.
Also should allow space on back and both
sides of oven properly.
b.
DO NOT
place oven near a hot, damp sur-
face such as a gas or electric range, or
dishwasher.
c.
DO NOT
operate oven when room humidity
is too high.
2. This oven was manufactured for household
use only.
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 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 Supply
1. 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 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 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.
TV / Radio Interference
1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause
interference to your radio, TV or similar equip-
ment.
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)
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.
Glass Tray
1.
DO NOT
operate the oven without Rotating
Ring and 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
.
3. Only use the Glass Tray specifically designed
for this oven. Do not substitute any other glass
tray.
4. 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, or
on a rack set in a microwave-safe dish.
6. If food or utensil on Glass Tray touches oven
walls, causing the tray to stop moving, the tray
will automatically rotate in the opposite direc-
tion. This is normal.
7. Glass Tray can turn in either direction.
Rotating Ring
1. Rotating Ring and oven floor should be cleaned
frequently to prevent excessive noise.
2. Rotating Ring must always be used for cooking
along with Glass Tray.
3. Always replace Rotating Ring and Glass Tray
in their proper positions.
