    • (d) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For proper use of your oven read remaining safety cautions and operating instructions. PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

  • (a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
  • (b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door, or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
  • (c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the:
1. door (bent)
2. hinges and latches (broken or loosened)
3. door seals and sealing surfaces.
  • (d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except property-qualified service personnel.

INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING 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 the dealer immediately if the oven is damaged. Do NOT install if the oven is damaged.

Remove Protective Plastic Film

  • If a plastic film has been wrapped around the oven to protect the painted finish from scratching during shipping, please remove this plastic film before using the oven. (However, all ovens do not have plastic film wrapping.)

Placement of Oven

  1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow. Allow 3 inches of space on both sides of the oven and 1 inch of space on top of the oven.
    • a. 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 been serviced and the safety switch is reset.
    • b. Do NOT place the oven near a hot damp surface such as a gas or electric range.
    • c. Do NOT operate the oven when room humidity is too high.

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 it 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.

Removal of Protective Film

  • A blue protective film is used to prevent scratching of the outer case during transportation. Peel the film from the exterior of the oven before installation or use.

Wiring Requirements

  1. 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 user to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet (Fig. 1).
  2. A TEMPORARY CONNECTION with a two-prong adapter may be made where LOCAL CODES PERMIT it (Fig 2). Unless the cover screw is grounded through the house wiring, attaching the adapter grounding plate to the cover screw will not ground the oven. If there is any doubt that the cover screw is grounded, have it checked by an electrician?
  3. The oven must be 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 or the food may cook slower than the times recommended in this manual.
  4. The VOLTAGE used must be the same as specified on this microwave oven (120V). Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident causing oven damage. Using a lower voltage will cause slow heating. Panasonic is NOT responsible for damage resulting from the use of the oven with other than the specified voltage.

How Does The Microwave Work?

  • Microwaves are a form of high-frequency radio waves similar to those used by a radio including AM, FM, and CB.
  • They are, however, much shorter than radio waves; approximately five inches long.
  • Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube.
  • From the magnetron tube, microwave energy is transmitted and absorbed.

Reflection

  • Microwaves are reflected by metal just as a ball is bounced off a wall.
  • A combination of stationary (interior walls) and rotating antenna, located underneath the bottom shelf ensure that the microwaves are well distributed within the oven cavity to produce even heating or cooking of foods.

Transmission

  • Microwaves pass through some materials such as paper, glass, and plastic much like sunlight shining through a window.
  • Because these substances do not absorb or reflect microwave energy, they are ideal materials for microwave oven heating containers.

Absorption

  • During heating, microwaves will be absorbed by food.
  • They penetrate to a depth of about ¾ to 1% inches. Microwave energy excites the molecules in the food (especially water, fat and sugar molecules), and causes them to vibrate at a rate of 2,450,000,000 times per second.
  • This vibration causes friction, and heat is produced just as you will feel heat produced if you vigorously rub your hands together.
  • The internal heating of larger foods is done by conduction. The heat which is produced by friction travels by conduction to the center of the food.
  • Foods also continue to heat by conduction during standing time.
  • Because microwaves dissipate, much like sunlight as it reaches the Earth’s surface, they are not stored in food.

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. Clean the door and sealing surfaces of the oven. (See Care of Your Microwave Oven found on page 17.)
    • b. Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the microwave oven as far as possible.
    • c. Use a property-installed antenna, to obtain stronger signal reception.

Safety Statements

General Use

  1. Do NOT tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to door, control panel housing, safety interlock switches, or any other part of the oven. Do NOT remove the outer panel from the oven. Repairs should only be done by a qualified service person.
  2. Do NOT operate the oven if empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy.
  3. If a fire occurs in the oven, turn the timer to the “O” position or press the Stop/Reset Time Pad and LEAVE DOOR CLOSED. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
  4. Do NOT dry clothes, newspapers, or other materials in the oven. They may catch fire.
  5. Do NOT use recycled paper products, as they may contain impurities that may cause sparks and/or fires when used.
  6. Do NOT use newspapers or paper bags for heating.
  7. Do NOT hit or strike the control panel. Damage to controls may occur.
  8. POT HOLDERS should always be used when removing items from the oven. Heat is transferred from the hot food to the heating container.
  9. Do NOT store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard.

Utensils
Use only containers and materials specified by their manufacturers to be for microwave use.

  1. METAL CONTAINERS or dishes with metallic trims should not be used. Arcing may occur.
  2. METAL TWIST-TIES may not be used in the microwave oven.
  3. Do NOT use SEALED JARS or NARROW NECK bottles for cooking or reheating. They may shatter.
  4. Do NOT use CONVENTIONAL THERMOMETERS in the microwave oven. They may cause arcing
  5. Remove PLASTIC STORE WRAPS, before heating in the oven.
  6. When using foil, skewers, warming racks or utensils made of metal in the oven allow at least one inch of space between metal material and interior oven walls. If arcing (sparking) occurs remove metal material (skewers, etc.) and/or transfer to a nonmetallic container.

Food

  1. HEATING TIMES given in the cooking guide are APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect heating are: starting temperature, altitude, volume, size, and shape of foods and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors.
  2. It is better to UNDERHEAT RATHER THANOVERHEAT foods. If food is underheated, it can always be returned to the oven for further heating. If food is overheated, nothing can be done. Always start with minimum heating times.
  3. SMALL QUANTITIES of food or foods with LOW MOISTURE content can bum, dry out or catch on fire if heated too long.
  4. Microwave popcorn which pops in its package is available. Each brand of microwave popcorn recommends that their popcorn be used in microwave ovens listed at a specific wattage. For example: “Use in a microwave oven 600 watts or greater, or “Tested in microwaves of 450 to 1000 watts. ” Follow the popcorn manufacturer’s directions and use a brand suitable for at least a 650-watt microwave oven.
  5. Do not attempt to deep-fat fry in your microwave oven.
  6. Do not boil eggs in their shell in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up and the eggs will explode.
  7. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole acorn squash, and sausages are examples of food with nonporous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting.
  8. Heated liquids can erupt if not mixed with air. Do not heat liquids in your microwave oven without first stirring.
  9. Heat only 1 frozen dinner or entree in the oven at a time. If dinner or entree is heated in a foil tray, leave at least 1 inch of space between foil tray and oven walls.
  10. Do not use paper towels or cloths which contain a synthetic fiber woven into them, such as nylon. The synthetic fiber may cause the towel or cloth to ignite.
  11. Do not use the oven for any reason other than the preparation of food.
  12. Your oven is equipped with a protective device designed to turn the unit off in the event of overheating. The oven will automatically reset itself after it has cooled. (approx. 30-60 min.)

Care of Your Microwave Oven

  1. Unplug the oven before cleaning.
  2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp paper towel. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergents or abrasives is not recommended. The air intake splash guard/light diffuser can be removed for cleaning by removing the center plugs from the two plastic rivets. The top is held by two tabs. Wash in warm dishwater and replace.
  3. The outside oven surfaces should be cleaned with a damp paper towel. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
  4. If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on the Control Panel. When cleaning the Control Panel, leave the oven door open to prevent the oven from accidentally turning on. After cleaning, touch the STOP/RESET Pad to clear the display window.
  5. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft paper towel. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit.
  6. Clean off the grease and dust on bottom surfaces often. Use a warm detergent solution.
  7. Cleaning inside the oven outer panel and the oven base should be performed only by qualified service personnel after taking precautions to drain all stored voltage potential. The bottom is accessible by removing the center section of the base and the power and sensor control areas are within the outer wrap-around housing. Avoid using liquids and cleaning solutions in these areas. Use a dry soft bristle brush or a cloth. Replace all parts— Do not connect the oven to the electricity supply if any parts are not reassembled.
