the like.

7. Use this appliance only for its intended use as

described in this manual. DO NOTuse corro-

sive chemicals, vapors, or non-food products

in this appliance. This type of oven is specifi-

cally designed to heat or cook. It is not

designed for industrial or laboratory use. The

use of corrosive chemicals in heating or clean-

ing will damage the appliance and may result

in radiation leaks.

8. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven

that come together on closing the door,

use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or

detergents applied with a sponge or soft

cloth.

9. Do not allow children to use this appliance,

unless closely supervised by an adult.

10. Do not operate this appliance if it has a

damaged cord or plug, if it is not working

properly, or if it has been damaged or

dropped.

11. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

12. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

13. Do not let cord hang over edge of a table or

counter.

14. This appliance should be serviced only by

qualified service personnel. Contact the

nearest authorized servicenter for examina-

tion, repair or adjustment.

15. Some products such as whole eggs, nar-

row neck bottles and sealed containers—

for example, closed glass jars—may

explode and should not be heated in this oven.

16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

(a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend

appliance if paper, plastic, or other com-

bustible materials are placed inside the

oven to facilitate cooking.

(b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or

plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

ignite, keep oven door closed, turn

oven off, and disconnect the power

cord, or shut off power at the fuse or

circuit breaker panel.

(d) Do not use the cavity for storage purpos-

es. Do not leave paper products, cooking

utensils, or food in the cavity when not in

General Use

1. DO NOTtamper with or

make any adjustments or

repairs to door, Control

Panel housing, safety

interlock switches or any

other part of the oven. DO

NOTremove outer panel

from oven. Repairs

should only be done by a qualified service per-

son.

2. DO NOToperate the oven

empty. The microwave

energy will reflect continu-

ously throughout the oven

causing overheating, if

food or water is not pre-

sent to absorb energy. This could damage the

oven and result in the risk of a fire.

3. DO NOTdry clothes, newspapers or other mate-

rials in oven, or use newspapers or paper bags

for cooking. Fire could result.

4. DO NOTuse recycled paper products unless the

paper product is labeled as safe for microwave

oven use. Recycled paper products may contain

impurities which may cause sparks, and result in

fires when used.

5. DO NOThit or strike Control Panel. Damage to

controls may occur. Fire could result.

6. POT HOLDERSshould always be used when

removing items from the oven. Heat is trans-

ferred from the HOTfood to the cooking contain-

er and from the cooking container to the Glass

Tray. The Glass Tray can be very HOTafter

removing the cooking container from the oven.

7. DO NOTstore flammable materials next to, on top

of, or in the oven. These could be fire hazards.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For proper use of your oven read remaining safety cautions and operating instructions.

our microwave oven is a cooking device and you should use as much care as you use with a

stove or any other cooking device. When using this electric appliance, basic safety precau-

tions should be followed, including the following:

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. Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface.

For proper operation, the oven must have suffi-

cient air flow. Allow 4-inches (10 cm) of space

on both sides and top of oven.

a. DO NOT block air vents.

If they are blocked during operation, the

oven may be overheated and damaged.

When using any cloth over the oven, the air

intake and exhaust should not be blocked.

Also should allow space on back and both

sides of oven properly.

b. DO NOT place oven near a hot, damp sur-

face such as a gas or electric range, or

dishwasher.

c. DO NOT operate oven when room humidity

is too high.

2. This oven was manufactured for household

use only.

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 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 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. Ashort 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 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 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

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 Rotating

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.

Rotating Ring

1. Rotating Ring and oven floor should be cleaned

frequently to prevent excessive noise.

2. Rotating Ring must always be used for cooking

along with Glass Tray.

3. Always replace Rotating Ring and Glass Tray

in their proper positions.
