IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Installation and Grounding Instructions
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SHOCK:
DO NOT remove outer panel from oven. Repairs must be done
only by a qualified service person.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVE ENERGY:
DO NOT tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to Door,
Control Panel Frame, Safety Interlock Switches, or any other part of
the oven. Microwave leakage may result.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE:
1. DO NOT operate the microwave oven empty, cook small food
portions unattended, or use metal containers. When using the
microwave oven without water or food, , or cook too small
a serving, microwave energy cannot be absorbed and will
continuously reflect throughout the cavity. This will cause arcing
and damage the oven cavity, door or other components.
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 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 AND BURNING:
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 flat table. The flat table can
also be very HOT after removing the cooking container from the
oven. The accessory will be hot after use.
Care in handling the Grill Tray must be exercised.
Safety Precautions
WARNING

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord.
2. The use of cord sets, or extension cords, is not recommended.
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 at least a 15 A or 20 A, 120 V,
60 Hz GROUNDED OUTLET. (Beginning in 2017, all new
construction and all renovated single family homes must
have at least a 20 A, 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.

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.
5) FLAT TABLE / COOKING CONTAINERS / FOIL
• Cooking containers get hot during microwaving. Heat is
transferred from the HOT food to the container and the flat
table. Use pot holders when removing containers from the oven
or when removing lids or plastic wrap covers from cooking
containers, to avoid burns.
• The flat table will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed
to cool 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 more
than six 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.
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.
• DO NOT prepare small food portions at high power. This can
cause energy concentration at a fixed spot, which can lead to
arcing and damage to your oven. Select a lower cook power
setting when preparing small portions.
2) POPCORN
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 menu (refer to page 38). 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.
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
may result in burns. Microwave utensils may not withstand the
temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt.

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 (for example, jelly donuts).
11) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES
• DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the
preparation of food. This oven is specifically designed to heat
or cook food. DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other
non-food products.
• Before use, check that utensils/containers are suitable for use in

• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam
from the cleaning appliance could penetrate live components
and permanently damage the oven or cause injury.
• The use of accessory not recommended by Panasonic may
cause injury.
12) HEATER OPERATION
• Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents and the oven door will
get hot during Steam, Bake, Broil or Combination functions.
To prevent burns, take care when opening or closing the door
and when inserting or removing food and accessory.
Attention: Hot Surfaces
• The oven has heating elements situated in the top and in the
base of the oven, a steamer boiler situated in the left side of
the oven. During and after using either the Steam, Bake, Broil
or Combination functions, all inside surfaces of the oven will
be very hot. To prevent burns, care should be taken to avoid
touching the inside surfaces of the oven.
• TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING, please use caution when
touching accessible parts when oven is operated in Steam,
Bake, Broil or Combination mode, because the accessible parts
may become extremely hot.
13) BEFORE USING YOUR OVEN
• Before using the oven for the first time, wipe excessive oil off
in the oven cavity and operate the oven without food and
accessory on Bake at 220 °C (425 °F), for 10 minutes. This will
allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be burned
off. This is the only time the oven is used empty. (with the
exception of preheating on Oven.)
After using Bake mode, you might open the door of the oven to
accelerate the cool down process and shorten the time of the
fan running.

CONTAINER TEST
TO TEST A CONTAINER FOR SAFE MICROWAVE OVEN USE: Fill a microwave-safe cup with cool water and place it in the microwave
oven alongside the empty container to be tested; heat one (1) minute at 1000 W. If the container is microwave oven safe (transparent
to microwave energy), the empty container should remain comfortably cool and the water should be hot. If the container is hot, it has
absorbed some microwave energy and should NOT be used. This test cannot be used for plastic containers.
