IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
3. DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other
materials in the oven, or use newspaper 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.
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
Start .
Note: The Glass Tray can turn in either direction.
3. Use only 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 the Glass Tray touches oven walls, causing
the tray to stop moving, the tray will automatically rotate in the
opposite direction.
Roller Ring
1. The Roller Ring and oven floor should be cleaned frequently to
prevent excessive noise.
2. Always replace the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in their proper
positions.
3. The Roller Ring must always be used for cooking along with the
Glass Tray.
For proper use of your oven, read remaining safety cautions and operating instructions.
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. The oven must be placed
on a flat, stable surface.
Place the front surface of
the door 3 inches
(7.6 cm) or more from the
counter top edge to
avoid accidental tipping
of the microwave oven
during normal use. For
proper operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow. Allow 4
inches (10.16cm) of space between oven top, sides,
rear and adjacent surfaces.
(a) DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during
operation, the oven may overheat and be damaged.
Installation
1.
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.
2.
The oven is designed for installation into a wall cabinet by using the
proper trim kit available from a local Panasonic dealer,
follow all
instructions packed with the kit.
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-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.
(b) DO NOT place oven near a hot, damp surface such as a
gas or electric range, sink, or dishwasher.
(c) DO NOT operate oven when room humidity is excessive.
2. This oven is manufactured for household use only. It is not
approved or tested for mobile vehicle, marine, or commercial
use.
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 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.
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.

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
button (refer to page 10). 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.
