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
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 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. 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.

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.
