tute any other glass tray. 4. If the Glass Tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water. 5. DO NOT cook directly on the Glass Tray. Always place food in a microwave-
safe dish, or on a rack set in a microwave-safe dish. 6. If food or utensil on the Glass Tray touches oven walls. causing the tray to stop moving. the tray will automatically rotate in the opposite direction. Roller Ring 1. The Roller Ring and oven floor should be cleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise. 2. Always replace the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in their proper positions. 3. The Roller Ring must always be used for cooking along with the Glass Tray. INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS Examine Your Oven Unpack oven. remove all packing material and examine the oven for any dam-
age such as dents, broken door latches or cracks in the door. Notify dealer immediately if oven is damaged. DO NOT install if oven is damaged. Placement of Oven 1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. Place the front surface of the door three inches or more from the counter top edge to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven during normal use. For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 3-inches (7.6 cm) of space on both sides of the oven and 1-inch (2.5 cm) of space on top of the oven.
(a) DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may be overheated and damaged.
(b) DO NOT place oven near a hot. damp surface such as a gas or electric range, or dishwasher.
(c) DO NOT operate oven when room humidity is excessive. 2. This oven is manufactured for household use only. It is not approved or tested for commercial or marine use. installation DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat. ff the oven overheats, a therma! safety device will turn the oven off. The oven will remain inoperable until it has cooled. A INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING _ INSTRUCTIONS (continued) INTO 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 com-
pletely understood. or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. i it is necessary ta 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 wilt 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. Ashort 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 availabie 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, (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 table- . =
top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. CRE [3 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 cir-
cuit 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 personal 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 dangerous and may result in a tire 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) 4 A Safety Precautions Fotlow 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 ary meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture conient can dry out, scorch or catch on fire if overheated. 2) POPCORN 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. i
. 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 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 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. A Safety Precautions (continued) 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 fol-
low 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. 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 eat-
ing. 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
