WWAARRNNIINNGG F00037D63CP 2006.2.10 09:15 Page 43

Superheated Liquids Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without showing evidence (or signs) of boiling. Visible bubbling is not always present when the container is removed from the microwave oven. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons: (a) STIR THE LIQUID BOTH BEFORE AND HALFWAY THROUGH HEATING IT. (b) Do not heat water and oil, or fats together. The film of oil will trap steam, and may cause a violent eruption. (c) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. (d) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

19. DO NOT cook directly on the turntable. It can crack, cause injury or damage

to the oven. TO AVOID THE RISK OF SHOCK: DO NOT remove outer panel from oven. Repairs must be done only by a qualified serv- ice person. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVE ENERGY: DO NOT tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to Door, Control Panel Frame, Safety Interlock Switches, or any other part of oven. Microwave leakage may result. TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE:

1. DO NOT operate the oven empty. The microwave energy will

reflect continuously throughout the oven causing overheating and damage, if food or water is not present to absorb energy.

2. DO NOT store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the

CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not com- pletely 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 prong polarized 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. 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.

• DO NOT use an adapter. Power Supply

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and 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,

• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

• The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

• 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 appli-

ance 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 15 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

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) WWAARRNNIINNGG

INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS (continued) F00037D63CP 2006.2.10 09:15 Page 76 Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven. IMPORT ANT 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 pop- corn which pops in its own package is also available. Follow popcorn manu- facturers’ 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 14). 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 non- porous 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. Safety Precautions F00037D63CP 2006.2.10 09:15 Page 87

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 towels under supervision.

7) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS

• Browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking only. Always fol- low instructions provided by the manufacturer. 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 eat- ing. 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 (continued) F00037D63CP 2006.2.10 09:15 Page 98 Cookware Guide

(continued) F00037D63CP 2006.2.10 09:15 Page 1817 NOTE: Casseroles - Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of liquid, cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. Stir when time appears in the display window. Canned foods - Empty contents into casse- role dish or serving bowl, cover dish with lid or vented plastic wrap. After reheating, let stand for a few minutes. Plate of food - Arrange food on plate; top with butter, gravy, etc. Cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. After reheating, let stand for a few minutes. DO NOT USE SENSOR REHEAT:

1. To reheat bread and pastry products. Use

manual power and time for these foods.

2. For raw or uncooked foods.

3. If oven cavity is warm.

5. For frozen foods.

This sensor feature allows you to reheat cooked, refrigerated food without setting time. The oven simplifies programming. This sensor feature allows you to cook food without setting time. The oven sim- plifies programming. BEFORE Reheating/Cooking:

1. The room temperature surrounding the

oven should be below 35° C (95° F).

2. Food weight should exceed 110 g (4 oz.).

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 mois- ture 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 2 beeps sound and cooking time appears on the Display Window. Doing so will cause inac- curate cooking since the steam from food is no longer contained within the oven cavity. Once the cooking time begins to count down, the oven door may be opened to stir, turn, or rearrange foods. AFTER Reheating/Cooking: All foods should have a stand time. Example: To reheat a plate of food

(see More/Less Feature) (☛page 14)

• Press Start. ➤ Cooking starts. Cooking is complete when 5 beeps sound. (When steam is detected by the Genius Sensor and 2 beeps sound, the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window.)

F00037D63CP 2006.2.10 09:15 Page 2423 Food Characteristics Cooking Techniques Bone and Fat Both bone and fat affect cook- ing. Bones may cause irregu- lar cooking. Meat next to the tips of bones may overcook while meat positioned under a large bone, such as a ham bone, may be under- cooked. Large amounts of fat absorb microwave energy 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 care- ful. 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 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. 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 mem- branes must be pierced, scored or have a strip of skin peeled before cook- ing 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 built 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. 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, com- bine 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, cupcakes and appetizers, will cook more evenly if placed in the oven equal distances apart. When possible, arrange foods in a circular pattern. F00037D63CP 2006.2.10 09:15 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 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 shield- ed 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 prefer- ences. Always cook food for the minimum cooking time given in a recipe and check for doneness. If the food is undercooked, con- tinue 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, hamburger 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 dis- tribute 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 conduc- tion 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 min- utes. 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 over- cooking on the edges. Test for Doneness The same tests for doneness used in con- ventional 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

• 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 ther- mometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
