    INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
    (continued)
    Wiring Requirements
    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. 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 per-
    sonal responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet. The
    VOLTAGE used must be the same as specified on this microwave oven (120 V, 60 Hz). Using a higher voltage is dan-
    gerous 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:
    (a) Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the microwave oven as far as possible.   
    (b) Use a properly installed antenna to obtain stronger signal reception.
    (c) Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven. (See Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven)
    The Hood
    1. The vent fan in your oven will operate automatically under certain conditions. Caution is required to prevent the
    starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in operation.
    2. Never leave surface units unattended at high heat setting. Boil over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may
    ignite and spread if vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized utensils and use
    high heat settings only when necessary.
    3. In the event of a grease fire, smother flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid,
    cookie sheet or flat tray.
    4. Keep hood and grease filters clean, according to instructions on page 26, to maintain adequate venting and avoid
    grease fires.
    5. To protect the automatic fan feature, always keep the filter clean (see page 26). Should the fan require repair, do
    not operate microwave oven until it has been repaired.
    Indoor Venting
    If this appliance is to be vented inside the kitchen, be sure the charcoal filter kit is installed in the unit before you
    operate. Additional replacement charcoal filter kits can be purchased from your local Panasonic dealer when needed
    (see page 25).
    Fan Motor Operation
    After using the oven repeatedly or for long time, the fan may operate to cool the electric components. This is perfectly
    normal, and you can take out the food from the oven while the fan operates.

    							5 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 NOTuse 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 NOTuse the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high
    temperature needed for sterilization.
    • DO NOTdry 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 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 pad (refer to page 12). 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 NOTdeep 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 sausagesare 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 notbe used, as arcing may occur.
    6) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS
    • DO NOTuse 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 manu-
    facturer. DO NOTpreheat browning dish more than 6 minutes.
    • If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to package directions. DO NOTuse a
    wire twist-tie to close bag, instead use plastic ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag.
    8) THERMOMETERS
    • DO NOTuse 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 NOTheat 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 (ex. Jelly Donuts).
    11) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES
    • DO NOTuse the oven for any purpose other than the preparation of food.
