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— I m p r o per 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, (f 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 wilt 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 _ H
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 Roller 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.
Roller Ring
1. Roller Ring and oven floor should be cleaned
frequently to prevent excessive noise.
2. Roller Ring must always be used for cooking
along with Glass Tray.
3. Always replace Roller Ring and Glass Tray in
their proper positions.

Safety Precautions
Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven
IMPORTANT
Proper cooking depends upon the power, the
time set and the quantity of food. If you use a
smaller portion than recommended and cook at
the time for the recommended portion, fire can
resuit.
1) HOME CANNiNG / DRYiNG FOODS / SMALL
QUANTITIES OF FOODS
• DO NOT use your oven tor home canning, your
oven cannot maintain the food at the proper can¬
ning temperature. Improperly canned food may
spoil and be dangerous to consume.
♦ 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 tire it overheated.
2) POPCORN
Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven
com popper. Microwave popcorn which pops in
its own package is also available. Follow pop¬
corn manufacturers’ directions and use a brand
suitable for the wattage of your microwave oven.
CAUTION: When using pre-packaged
microwave popcorn, follow recommended
package instructions. Check package weight
before using the Popcorn pad (see Popcorn
Pad section). Set the oven for the weight of
the popcorn package,
if these instructions are not followed, 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. _
3) DEEP FAT FRYING
• DO NOT attempt to 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 be able to withstand the temperature of the
hot oil, and could shatter or melt.
4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS
• Potatoes, apples, whole eggs, egg yolks,
whole squash and sausages are examples of
foods with nonporous skins. These types of
foods must be pierced before microwave cooking
to prevent their bursting.
• Use fresh potatoes for baking and cook until just
done. Use recommended weights for programmed
cooking. Overcooking causes dehydration and
may result in a fire.
5) LIQUIDS
• Liquids can become "superheated” in a
microwave, and when the container is moved in
any way, the superheated liquids can
"explode” out of the container.
"Superheated" water is hotter than boiling
water, EVEN THOUGH IT DOES NOT
APPEAR TO BUBBLE. To reduce the possibility
of this occurrence:
Always make sure that liquids are stirred
vigorously before heating to assure that the
liquid is mixed with air. NEVER HEAT LIQUIDS
FOR AN EXCESSIVE LENGTH OF TIME.
6) GLASS TRAY / COOKING UTENSILS / FOIL
• Cooking utensils get hot during microwaving. Heat
is transferred from the HOT food to the container
and the Glass Tray. Use potholders when remov¬
ing utensils from the oven or when removing lids
or plastic wrap covers from cooking utensils to
avoid bums.
• 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, skewers, warming rack or uten¬
sils 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 (spark¬
ing), remove metal material (skewers etc.) and/or
transfer to a non-metaliic container.
• Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as
arcing may occur.
• If an entree is heated in a foil tray, maintain at
least 1-inch (2.5 cm) spacing from the oven walls.
7) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS
• DO NOT use paper towels or cloths which con¬
tain a synthetic fiber woven into them. The syn¬
thetic fiber may cause the towel to ignite. Use
paper toweling under supervision.
8) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS
• Browning dishes or grills are designed tor
microwave cooking only. Always follow instruc¬
tions provided by the manufacturer. DO NOT
preheat browning dish more 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.
9) THERMOMETERS
• DO NOT use a conventional meat thermometer
in your oven. Arcing may occur. Microwave-safe
thermometers are available for both meat and
candy.
10) BABY FORMULA / FOOD
• DO NOT heat baby formula or food in the
microwave oven. The glass jar or surface of the
food may appear to be only warm while the interi¬
or can be so hot as to burn the infant’s mouth and
esophagus.
11) REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS
• When reheating pastry products, check tempera¬
tures 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).
12) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES
• DO NOT use the oven for any reason other than
the preparation of food.
• DO NOT leave oven iinattendeH while in use

Defrosting Tips & Techniques
Before Freezing:
1. Freeze meats, poultry and fish in packages with only 1 or 2 layers of food. Place wax paper between
layers.
2. Package in heavy’duty plastic wraps, bags (labeled Tor Freezer”) or freezer paper.
3. Remove as much air as possible, i,e. create a vacuum.
4. Seal securely, date and label.
To Defrost:
1. Remove wrapper. This helps moisture to evaporate. Juices from food can get hot and cook the food.
2. Set food on microwave safe roasting rack in an appropriately sized dish,
3. Place roasts fat-side down. Place whole poultry breast-side down.
4. Drain liquids during defrosting.
5. Turn over (invert) items during defrosting.
6. Shield edges and ends if needed. (See Cooking Techniques).
7. Select power and minimum time so that items will be under-defrosted.
After Defrosting:
1. Large items may be icy in the center. Defrosting will complete during STANDING TIME.
2. Let stand, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for time shown in the chart below.
3. See chart below for standing time and rinsing directions,
4. Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer stand time.

Bone and Fat
Both bone and fat affect cooking. Bones may
cause irregular cooking. Meat next to the tips of
bones may overcook while meat positioned under
a large bone» such as a ham bone, may be
undercooked. Large amounts of fat absorb
microwave energy and the meat next to these
areas may overcook.
Density
Porous, airy foods such as breads, cakes or rolls
take less time to cook than heavy, dense foods
such as potatoes and roasts. When reheating
donuts or other foods with different centers be
very careful. Certain foods have centers made
with sugar, water or fat and these centers attract
microwaves (For ex., jelly donuts). When a jelly
donut is heated, the jelly can become extremely
hot while the exterior remains warm to the touch.
This could result in a burn if the food is not
allowed to cool properly in the center.
Quantity
Two potatoes take longer to cook than one pota¬
to. As the quantity of the food increases so does
the cooking time. When cooking small amounts of
food such as one or two potatoes, do not leave
oven unattended. The moisture content in the
food may decrease and a fire could result.
Shape
Uniform sizes heat more evenly. The thin end of a
drumstick will cook more quickly than the meaty
end. To compensate for irregular shapes, place
thin parts toward the center of the dish and thick
pieces toward the edge.
Size
Thin pieces cook more quickly than thick pieces.
Starting Temperature
Foods that are room temperature take less time
to cook than if they are chilled or refrigerated or
frozen.
Piercing
Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced
scored or have a strip of skin peeled before cook¬
ing to allow steam to escape. Pierce whole egg
yolks and whites, clams, oysters, chicken livers,
whole potatoes and whole vegetables. Whole
apples or new potatoes should have a 1-inch strip
of skin peeled before cooking. Score sausages
and frankfurters.
Browning
Foods will not have the same brown appearance
as conventionally cooked foods or those foods
which are cooked utilizing a browning feature.
Meats and poultry may be coated with browning
sauce, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce or
shake-on browning sauce. To use, combine
browning sauce with melted butter or margarine;
brush on before cooking.
For quick breads or muffins, brown sugar can be
used in the recipe in place of granulated sugar, or
the surface can be sprinkled with dark spices
before baking.

Cooking Techniques
Cooking Techniques
Spacing
Individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cup¬
cakes and appetizers, will cook more evenly if
placed in the oven equal distances apart. When
possible, arrange foods in a circular pattern.
Covering
As with conventional cooking, moisture evapo¬
rates during microwave cooking. Casserole lids or
plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. When
using plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by fold¬
ing back part of the plastic wrap from the edge of
the dish to allow steam to escape. Loosen or
remove plastic wrap as recipe directs for stand
time. When removing plastic wrap covers, as well
as any glass lids, be careful to remove them
away from you to avoid steam burns. Various
degrees of moisture retention are also obtained
by using wax paper or paper towels. However,
unless specified, a recipe is cooked covered.
Shielding
Thin areas of meat and poultry cook more quickly
than meaty portions. To prevent overcooking,
these thin areas can be shielded with strips of
aluminum foil. Wooden toothpicks may be used to
hold the foil in place.
Timing
A range in cooking time is given In each recipe.
The time range compensates for the uncontrol¬
lable differences in food shapes, starting temper¬
ature and regional preferences. Always cook food
for the minimum cooking time given in a recipe
and check for doneness. If the food is under¬
cooked, continue cooking. It is easier to add time
to an undercooked product. Once the food is
overcooked, nothing can be done.
Stirring
Stirring is usually necessary during microwave
cooking. We have noted when stirring is helpful,
using the words once, twice, frequently or occa¬
sionally to describe the amount of stirring neces¬
sary. Always bring the cooked outside edges
toward the center and the less cooked center por¬
tions toward the outside of the dish.
Rearranging
Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces,
shrimp, hamburger patties or pork chops.
Rearrange pieces from the edge to the center
and pieces from the center to the edge of the
dish.
Turning
It is not possible to stir some foods to redistribute
the heat. At times, microwave energy will concen¬
trate in one area of a food. To help insure even
cooking, these foods need to be turned. Turn
over large foods, such as roasts or turkeys,
halfway through cooking.
stand Time
Most foods will continue to cook by conduction
after the microwave oven is turned off. In meat
cookery, the interna) temperature will rise to
15®F (3“C to S^C), if allowed to stand, tented with
foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Casseroles and
vegetables need a shorter amount of standing
time, but this standing time is necessary to allow
foods to complete cooking to the center without
overcooking on the edges.
Testing Doneness
The same tests for doneness used in convention¬
al cooking may be used for microwave cooking.
Meat is done when fork-tender or splits at fibers.
Chicken is done when juices are clear yellow and
drumstick moves freely. Fish is done when it
flakes and is opaque. Cake is done when a tooth¬
pick or cake tester is Inserted and comes out
clean. Candy is done when it reaches the proper
temperature for each stage of crystallization.

Care of Your Microwave Oven
BEFORE CLEANING:
Unplug at socket of the oven. If impossible,
leave oven door open to prevent oven from
accidentally turning on.
AFTER CLEANING:
Be sure to replace the Roller Ring and
Glass Tray in the proper position and
press Stop/Reset Pad to clear the screen.
Menu Label:
Do not remove wipe
with a damp cloth, n
Inside of the ^

Mild detergent
fhay be used if
the oven gets
very dirty. The
use of harsh
detergent or
abrasives is
not recom¬
mended.
Oven Door:
Wipe with a soft cloth when steam accu¬
mulates inside or around the outside of
the oven door. During cooking, especially
under high humidity conditions, steam is
given off from the food. (Some steam will
condense on cooler surfaces, such as the
oven door. This is normal.)
* Inside surface is covered with a heat
and vapour barrier film. Do not remove.
Glass Tray:
Remove and wash in warm
soapy water or in a dishwasher.
Outside oven surfaces.
Clean with a damp cloth.
To prevent damage to the
operating parts inside the
oven, water should not be
allowed to seep into ventila¬
tion openings.
Control Panel:
* Covered with a removable
protective film to prevent
scratches during shipping.
Small bubbles may appear
under this film.
(Hint - To remove film,
apply masking or clear
tape to an exposed comer
and pull gently.)
* If the Control Panel
becomes wet, clean it with
a soft dry cloth. Do not
use harsh detergents or
abrasives on the Control
Panel.
Roller Ring and oven cavity floor:
Wipe the bottom surface of the oven
with mild detergent water or window
cleaner and dry. Roller Ring may be
washed in mild soapy water or dish¬
washer. These areas should be kept
clean to avoid excessive noise.

Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the
microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused
by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It
does not indicate a problem with your oven.
Steam accumulates
on the oven door and
warm air comes from
the oven vents.
During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most
of the steam and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which
circulates in the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on
cooler surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal.
