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, (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 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 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:

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
Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven. 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 program in Auto Menu. 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 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 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.
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 1-inch (2.5 cm) 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 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.
7
Safety Precautions
(continued)
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 reason 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 microwave ovens.
•
DO NOT attempt to use this microwave oven to dry newspaper, clothing or any other materials. They may catch fire.
• When the oven is not being used, DO NOT store any objects other than oven accessories inside the oven in
case it is accidentally turned on.
• The appliance shall not be operated by Microwave or Combination WITHOUT FOOD IN THE OVEN.

the flames. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or the circuit breaker panel.
• During and after cooking with the steam function, do not open the oven door when your face is very close to the
oven. Care must be taken when opening the door as steam may cause injury.
CAUTION!: Hot steam will escape when the door is opened. If there is steam in the oven, use caution
when taking containers out of the oven. Always use oven gloves to remove items from the oven TO
AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING. Do Not reach in with your bare hands.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving hot liquids.
• When handling cooking containers take care not to let the contents spill.
• Avoid hot steam, serious burns and scalds could result.
• To prevent injury, Do not allow anyone to lean, hang, sit or place heavy items on the open door of the appliance.
Severe personal injury could result.
• 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 accessories not recommended by Panasonic may cause injury.
• To prevent burns, do not touch the Ceramic Cover during or after using the oven.
12) HEATER OPERATION
• Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during Bake,
Combination or Microwave with Steam functions. To prevent burns, take care when opening or closing the door
and when inserting or removing food and accessories.
• The oven has a heater situated in the rear of the oven. During and after using either the Bake, Combination or
Microwave with Steam 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 or hot water inside the Evaporation Tray.
• TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING, please use caution when touching accessible parts when oven is

in the microwave oven alongside the empty container to be tested; heat one (1) minute at P10 (HIGH). 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.

Defrosting Tips & Techniques
Preparation for 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 "For Freezer"), or freezer paper.
3. Remove as much air as possible.
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 in microwave safe dish.
3. Place roasts fat-side down. Place whole poultry breast-side down.
4. Select power and minimum time so that items will be under-defrosted.
5. Drain liquids during defrosting.
6. Turn over (invert) items during defrosting, if the weight is over 1.0 lb.
7. Shield edges and ends if needed. (See Cooking Techniques).
After Defrosting:
1. Large items may be icy in the center. Defrosting will complete during STANDING TIME.
2. Let stand, covered, following stand timer directions on page 23.
3. Rinse foods indicated in the chart on page 20.
4. Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer stand time.

Food Characteristics
Cooking Techniques
Bone and Fat
Piercing
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.
Foods with skins or membranes must
be pierced scored or have a strip of
skin peeled before cooking to allow
steam to escape. Pierce 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.
Do not Cook/Reheat whole eggs with or without the shell.
Steam build up 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.
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
Browning
foods have centers made with sugar, water,
or fat and these centers attract microwaves
(For example, jelly donuts). When a jelly
Foods will not have the same brown
appearance as conventionally cooked
foods or those foods which are cooked
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.
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 and 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.
Quantity
Two potatoes take longer to cook than one potato.
As the quantity of the food decreases so does the
cooking time. Overcooking will cause the moisture
content in the food to decrease and a fire could
result. Never leave microwave unattended while in
use.
Spacing
Individual foods, such as baked potatoes,
cupcakes and appetizers, will cook more
evenly if placed in the oven equal distances
apart. When possible, arrange foods in a
circular pattern.
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 at room temperature take less time to
cook than if they are chilled, refrigerated, or frozen.
25
Cooking Techniques
(continued)
Covering
Turning
As with conventional cooking, moisture evaporates during
microwave cooking. Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used
for a tighter seal. When using plastic wrap, vent the plastic
wrap by folding 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.
It is not possible to stir some foods to distribute the heat evenly.
At times, microwave energy will concentrate in one area of
the food. To help ensure 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 internal
temperature will rise 5°F to 15°F (3°C to 8°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.
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.
CAUTION is to be exercised when using foil. Arcing can
occur if foil is too close to oven wall or door and damage to
your oven will result.
Test for Doneness
The same tests for doneness used in conventional 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 toothpick or cake tester is
inserted and comes out clean.
Cooking time
A range of cooking time is given in each recipe. The time range
compensates for the uncontrollable differences in food shapes,
starting temperature, and regional preferences. Always cook
food for the minimum cooking time given in a recipe and check
for doneness. If the food is undercooked, continue cooking. It is
easier to add time to an undercooked product. Once the food is
overcooked, nothing can be done.

All foods must be previously cooked. Foods
should always be covered loosely with plastic
wrap, wax paper or casserole lid. All foods
should have a covered stand time of 3 to 5
minutes. DO NOT reheat bread and pastry
products using Auto Reheat. Use manual
power and time instead. 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). DO NOT
reheat beverages. Times are based on an
approximate serving size of 4 oz. A plate of
food is normally 3-4 servings.

Pop one bag at a time. Place bag in oven
according to manufacturers' directions.
Start with popcorn at room temperature.
To obtain best cooking results, fold in the
four corners of the bag, so that the bag turns
freely. After popping, allow the contents of the
bag to cool for a few minutes before opening.
Open bag carefully away from face and body
because popcorn and steam are extremely
hot. Do not reheat unpopped kernels or
reuse bag. If popcorn is of a different weight
than listed, follow instructions on popcorn
package. Never leave the oven unattended.
If popping slows to 2 to 3 seconds between

Care and Cleaning of your Microwave Oven
Oven Cavity Floor:
Always clean the Ceramic Plate after cooling
down with a mild detergent and wipe to dry.
Outside oven surfaces:
Inside of the oven:
Clean with a damp cloth.
Wipe with a damp cloth after
using. Mild detergent may be
used if needed.
Do not use harsh detergents or
abrasives.
To prevent damage to the operating
parts inside the oven, water
should not be allowed to seep into
ventilation 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 corner and pull gently.)
* If the Control Panel becomes
wet, clean it with a soft dry cloth.
Do not use harsh detergents or
abrasives.
Rubber Seal:
Wipe with a soft dry cloth.
Mild detergent may be used
if needed. Do not use knife or
sharp edge.
Water Tank:
Oven Door:
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Mild
detergent may be used if needed. Do
not put in the dish washer.
Wipe with a soft dry cloth when steam accumulates
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 reinforced glass as a heat
and vapor barrier. Do not remove.
Ceramic Cover:
Always clean the Ceramic Cover with a mild
detergent to avoid obstruction. Clean the cover
after the oven cools down. After using the steam
function and the oven is cooling down, dry up the
water in the evaporating Channel.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY.
FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDENSATION MAY CAUSE RUSTING OR ARCING AND DAMAGE
TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE DRY ALL SURFACES INCLUDING VENT OPENINGS, AND
OVEN SEAMS.
Notes:
•
•
•
When decalcifying the oven, only use decalcifying agents with a citric acid base. Do not use vinegar or decalcifying agents
containing vinegar or acetic acid, they will damage the appliance.
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.
Never use cleaners containing sand, silica, soda, chlorides or scouring agents. Hard brushes, scouring cloths, steel wool and
other abrasive materials should not be used.
•
•
•
Only use tap water to fill the Water Tank. Never use distilled or mineral water.
Never exceed the "350ml" water level marker when filling up the Water Tank.
Clean the Water Tank and Sealed Lid frequently. Never remove the sealing band from around the Water Tank Lid, as leaking
water would result in electrical failure and danger of electric shock.
•
The Drip Tray, Metal Pan, Glass Tray and Ceramic Cover should be washed and dried each time they are used. They can be
washed in the dishwasher.

Before Requesting Service
These things are normal:
The oven causes interference with my TV.
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. After use, the oven should be wiped dry (see page 39).
