30" MINIMUM —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. 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.

• Plug into properly installed and grounded 3 prong outlet.

• DO NOT remove ground prong.

(continued) 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 a 15 AMP or 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: (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 cooktop operating conditions. This is normal. 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 27, to maintain adequate venting and avoid grease fires. 5.To protect the automatic fan feature, always keep the filter clean (see page 27). Should the fan require repair, do not operate microwave oven until it has been repaired. 6.Charcoal filter should be replaced periodically. It may be purchased from a local Panasonic dealer. Indoor Venting If the air exhaust must be recirculated by this unit inside the kitchen, a charcoal filter must be used. A charcoal filter has been installed for your convenience. However, we recommend that this filter be changed as soon as possible with the replacement charcoal filter kit (NN-CF203) that can be purchased from your local Panasonic dealer. 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. IP4434_38Q05CP_02_110917 2012.9.17 11:03 AM Page 76 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.

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 13). 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.

• 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 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 manu- facturer. DO NOT preheat browning dish for longer 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.

• 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 purpose other than the preparation of food. Safety Precautions IP4434_38Q05CP_02_110917 2012.9.17 11:03 AM Page 87 Cookware Guide

If 2 beeps sound, turn over, rearrange foods or shield with aluminum foil. This feature allows you to automatically defrost foods such as: meat, poultry and seafood simply by entering the weight. 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.

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.

7. Shield edges and ends if needed. (See Cooking Techniques).

1. Large items may be icy in the center. Defrosting will complete during STANDING TIME.

2. Let stand, covered, following stand time directions on page 15.

3. Rinse foods indicated in the chart.

4. Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer stand time.

This sensor feature allows you to reheat food without setting time. The oven simplifies programming. Sensor Cook Feature This sensor feature allows you to cook food without setting time. The oven simplifies programming. For the best results with the GENIUS SENSOR, follow these recommendations. BEFORE Reheating/Cooking:

1. The room temperature surrounding the oven should be

3. Be sure the glass tray, the outside of the cooking containers

and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Residual beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

4. Cover food with lid, or with vented plastic wrap. Never use

tightly sealed plastic containers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook. DURING Reheating/Cooking: DO NOT open the oven door until the end of cooking or 2 beeps sound. Doing so will cause inaccurate cooking since the steam from food is no longer contained within the oven cavity. If 2 beeps sounds, the remaining cooking time will begin to count down.

1. The shelf must be positioned on Shelf Supports securely to

prevent damage to the oven from arcing.

2. DO NOT use a microwave browning dish on the shelf. The

shelf and dish could overheat.

3. DO NOT use the oven with the shelf on the microwave floor.

This could damage the microwave.

4. Use pot holders when handling the shelf—it may be hot.

Caution: Do not heat liquids on shelf, use the turntable for heating liq- uids. Also be careful when removing hot items from the shelf or turntable. Placement of the Roller Ring Before using the microwave oven, be sure the Roller Ring is properly installed. Incorrect installation can result in improper cooking, damage to the oven or spillage of food. The Roller Ring must be located on the surface between the raised rib and raised floor. For best cooking results 1-Level cooking Food microwaves best when placed onto the turntable, with turntable on (rotating). When a large dish or more than one dish is used for cooking, the turntable can be turned off. For best results, rotate large dish and interchange mul- tiple dishes, halfway through cooking cycle.

IP4434_38Q05CP_02_110917 2012.9.17 11:03 AM Page 2423 Food Characteristics Cooking Techniques Bone and Fat 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 ener- gy and the meat next to these areas may overcook. 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 centres be very careful. Certain foods have centres made with sugar, water, or fat and these centres attract microwaves (For example, jelly donuts). When a jelly 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 centre. Quantity Two potatoes take longer to cook than one potato. As the quantity of the food decreases so does the cook- ing time. Overcooking will cause the moisture content in the food to decrease and a fire could result. Never leave microwave unattended while in use. 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 centre 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. Piercing 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 liv- ers, 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 with- out 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 SCRAM- BLED eggs is safe. Browning Foods will not have the same brown appearance as conventionally cooked foods or those foods which are cooked 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. Spacing Individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cup- cakes and appetizers, will cook more evenly if placed in the oven equal distances apart. When possible, arrange foods in a circular pat- tern. IP4434_38Q05CP_02_110917 2012.9.17 11:03 AM Page 2524 Cooking Techniques (continued) Covering 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 facing away from you to avoid steam burns. Various degrees of moisture retention are also obtained by using wax paper or paper towels. 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. 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. Stirring Stirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking. Always bring the cooked outside edges toward the centre and the less cooked centre portions toward the outside of the dish. Rearranging Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces, shrimp, ham- burger patties, or pork chops. Rearrange pieces from the edge to the centre and pieces from the centre to the edge of the dish. Turning It is not possible to stir some foods to distribute the heat even- ly. 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 3°C to 8°C (5°F to 15°F), 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 centre without overcooking on the edges. 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.

ABOUT FOOD SAFETY AND COOKING

TEMPERATURE Check foods to see that they are cooked at the recommended temperatures. TEMP FOOD 71˚C (160˚F) ...for fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food. 74˚C (165˚F) ...for leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carryout “fresh” food. 77˚C (170˚F) ...white meat of poultry. 82˚C (180˚F) ...dark meat of poultry. To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the ther- mometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use. IP4434_38Q05CP_02_110917 2012.9.17 11:03 AM Page 2625 Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven AFTER CLEANING: Be sure to place the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in the proper position and press Stop/Reset Pad to clear the Display. Inside of the oven: Wipe with a damp cloth after using, mild detergent may be used if need- ed. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives. Glass Tray: Remove and wash in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher. Outside oven surfaces: Clean with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into ventilation openings. Oven Door: 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 a heat and vapor barrier film. Do not remove. Roller Ring and oven cavity floor: Clean the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent water or window cleaner, and dry. Roller Ring may be washed in mild soapy water or dishwasher. These areas should be kept clean to avoid excessive noise. Shelf Clean with a soft damp cloth to avoid scratches. Control Panel: If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives. IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY. FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDEN- SATION MAY CAUSE RUSTING OR ARCING AND DAMAGE TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE DRY ALL SURFACES-INCLUDING VENT OPENINGS, OVEN SEAMS, AND UNDER GLASS TRAY. BEFORE CLEANING: Unplug oven at wall outlet.
