or food, microwave energy can not be absorbed and
will continuously reflect throughout the cavity. This will
cause arcing and damage the oven cavity, door or other
components, which can lead to a fire hazard.
2. DO NOT store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven.
3. DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven, or use news-
paper or paper bags for cooking.
4. DO NOT hit or strike Control Panel. Damage to controls may occur.
5. 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 sparking.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING:
POT HOLDERS should always be used when removing items from the oven. Heat
is transferred from the HOT food to the cooking container and from the container to
the Glass Tray. The Glass Tray can also be very HOT after removing the cooking
container from the oven. The wire rack is designed for use only in the browning
mode and will be hot after use. Care in handling must be exercised.
Glass Tray
1. DO NOT operate the oven without the Roller Ring and the 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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
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-prong polarized grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle that
will accept the plug of the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should
be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
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.
• Plug into properly installed and grounded 3-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 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,
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• 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 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.
2. The oven must be plugged into a 15 AMP or 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.
3. 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 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) Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the microwave oven as far as possible.
(b) Use a properly installed antenna to obtain stronger signal reception.
(c) Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven. (See Care and Cleaning of Your
Microwave Oven)

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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
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
nonporous 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.
Popcorn may 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 button (refer to page
18). 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
body to prevent steam burns.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (continued)
5) GLASS TRAY / COOKING CONTAINERS / FOIL
• Cooking containers get hot during microwaving. Heat is transferred from the
HOT food to the container and the Glass Tray. Use pot holders when removing
containers from the oven or when removing lids or plastic wrap covers from
cooking containers, to avoid burns.
• The Glass Tray will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed to cool before
handling or before paper products, such as paper plates or microwave popcorn
bags, are placed in the oven for microwave cooking.
• When using foil in the oven, allow at least 2.5 cm (1-inch) of space between foil
and interior oven walls or door.
• Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing may occur.
6) 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. Use paper toweling
under supervision.
7) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS
• Browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking only. Always
follow instructions provided by the manufacturer. DO NOT preheat browning
dish for longer than 6 minutes.
• If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to
package directions. DO NOT use a wire twist-tie to close bag; instead use
plastic ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag.
8) THERMOMETERS
• DO NOT use a conventional meat thermometer in your oven. Arcing may occur.
Microwave safe thermometers are available for both meat and candy.
9) BABY FORMULA / BABY FOOD
• DO NOT heat baby formula or baby food in the microwave oven. The glass jar
or surface of the food may appear warm while the interior can be so hot as to
burn the infant's mouth and esophagus.
10) REHEATING 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 (e.g. jelly donuts).
11) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES
• DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the preparation of food.
• For initial use of COMBINATION and GRILL, if you see white smoke arise, it is
not malfunction.

surfaces, such as the
oven door. This is
normal.) Inside surface
is covered with a heat
and vapor barrier glass.
Do not remove.

Directions for Grilling
When grilling, heat is radiated from the
two elements at the top of the oven. The
Grilling elements do not require preheating.
Grilling is particularly useful for reheating
crispy foods such as fried chicken or
chicken nuggets. It is also suitable for hot
sandwiches and au gratin dishes.
Place food to be grilled on Wire Rack
and place Wire Rack on Turn Table. An
ovensafe dish can be placed underneath
Wire Rack to catch oil drippings from
foods. Press Grill Button, set the time and
start the oven. If needed, the food being
grilled can be turned over after half the
grilling time has elapsed. When the oven
door is opened, the program is interrupted.
Carefully take out wire rack using oven
mitts, turn the food over, and place it back
into oven. Close the door and restart
oven. While grilling, the oven door can be
opened at any time to check the food.
CAUTION:
Food and accessories will be hot after
grilling. Use oven mitts when handling.
