Installation & GROUNDING 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.
4. A TEMPORARY CONNECTION with a two-
prong adapter may be made where LOCAL
CODES PERMIT it. Unless the cover screw is
grounded through the house wiring, attaching
the adapter grounding plate
to the cover screw will not
ground the oven. If there is ^ jpr a
any doubt that the cover
screw is grounded, have it
checked by an electrician.
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 24)
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.

_ Practical Hints
Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven
1) HOME CANNING /DRYING FOODS /SMALL
QUANTITIES OF FOODS
• Do not use your
combination oven for
home canning or the
heating^f any closed
jar. Pressure will build
up and the jar may
explode. In addition, the
combination oven
cannot maintain the
food at the proper
canning temperature. Improperly canned food
may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
• Small quantities of food or foods with low
moisture content can dry out, burn on catch on
fire. If a fire occurs, turn oven off and leave oven
door closed. Disconnect the power cord or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
• Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in
your oven.
IMPORTANT
Proper cooking depends on time set and
weight of food. If you use a smaller portion
than recommended and cook at the time for
the recommended portion, fire can result.
If a fire occurs, turn oven off and leave oven
door closed. Disconnect the power cord or
shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker
panel.
2) POPCORN
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 wattage of your combination oven.
Never leave oven unattended when popping
popcorn.
CAUTION:
When using pre-packaged microwave
popcorn, follow recommended package
instructions.
Check package weight before using the
popcorn pad. Set the oven for the weight of
the popcorn package, (see page 16)
If these instructions are not followed, the
popcorn may not pop adequately or may
ignite and cause a fire.
3) DEEP FAT FRYING
• Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave
oven. Oil can be heated beyond ideal
temperatures very quickly in a microwave oven.
Temperatures can climb high enough forJhe -
cooking oils to reach their respective flash points
and burst into flames.
The heated oil may
bubble and spatter
causing possible
damage to the oven
and perhaps resulting
in burns. Additionally,
microwave-safe utensils
may not be able to
withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and
could result in the utensil shattering if it contains
even a slight imperfection, scratch or chip.
4) EGGS
• Do not heat eggs in
their shell in a
microwave oven.
Pressure will build
up and the eggs will
explode.
5) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS
• Potatoes, apples,
egg yolks, whole
squash and
sausages are
examples of foods
with nonporous
skins. This type of
food must be
pierced before
cooking, to prevent their bursting.
6) LIQUIDS
• Heated liquids can erupt if not mixed with air. Do
not heat liquids in your microwave oven without
first stirring.
6

Practical Hints
7) CERAMIC TRAY / COOKING UTENSILS / FOIL
• Cooking utensils get hot during cooking. Use
potholders when removing utensils and Glass
Tray from the oven or when removing lids or
plastic wrap covers from cooking utensils to
avoid burns.
• Ceramic Tray will get hot during cooking. It
should be allowed to cool before handling or
before paper products, such as paper plates,
napkins or microwave popcorn bags, are placed
in the oven for microwave cooking.
• During cooking, heat is transferred from the hot
food to the cooking utensil and from the utensil
to Ceramic Tray. Ceramic Tray can be very hot
after removing cooking utensils from oven.
• When using foil, skewers, warming rack or
utensils made of metal in the oven, allow at least
1-inch (2.5 cm) of space between metal material
and interior oven walls. If arcing occurs
(sparking) remove metal material (skewers etc.)
and/or transfer to a non-metallic container.
• Dishes with metallic trim should not be used
during Microwave or Combination cooking,
arcing may occur.
8) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS
• Do not use paper
■ towels or cloths
which contain a
synthetic fiber
woven into them.
The synthetic fiber
may cause the towel
to ignite.
• Do not use paper
bags or recycled
paper products in
the microwave oven.
9) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS
• Microwave browning dishes or grills are
designed for microwave cooking only. Preheating
times vary depending on the size of the
browning dish and food being cooked. Always
follow instructions provided by the browning dish
or grill manufacturer. Do not preheat browning
dish more than 8 minutes.
• If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave
cooking, prepare according to package
directions. Do not use wire twist-tie to close bag.
Instead use nylon tie, a piece of cotton string or
a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make
six V 2 -inch slits by closure. Place oven cooking
bag in a dish slightly larger than the food being
cooked.
10) T HERMOMETERS
• Do not use a conventional meat thermometer for
Microwave or Combination cooking. Arcing may
occur. Do not use a microwave meat
thermometer for Combination cooking or Bake. It
may melt.
11) BABY FORMULA / FOOD
• Do not heat baby formula or food in the
microwave oven. The glass jar or surface of the
food may appear warm while the interior can
burn the infant’s mouth and esophagus.
12) R E H E ATING PASTRY PRODUCTS
• When reheating pastry products, check
temperatures of any fillings before eating. Some
foods have fillings which heat faster and can be
extremely hot while the surface remains warm to
the touch (ex. Jelly Donuts).
13) G E N E R AL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES / OVEN
DOOR
• Do not use the oven for any reason other than
the preparation of food.
• Do not leave oven unattended while in use.
• The oven door and the interior walls will get hot
during Combination, Bake and Broil cooking.
