There should be no gap between the table surface and the bottom of the oven. Do not place the oven in a hot or damp area, ie. near a stove, sink or directly above heat lamps on a serving line. Free airflow around the oven is important. There is a possibility of a small amount of interference with weak broadcast signals if the microwave oven is too close to a radio or TV. Grounding Instructions This oven must be grounded electrically. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The 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 if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly connected. 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 oven. Protective Film Removal 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 No other appliance should share the circuit with the microwave oven. If it does, the branch circuit fuse may overload and either cause the oven to heat slower than expected or blow the fuse. Caution 1. Do NOT attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to the door, control panel housing, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven. Do NOT remove the outer panel of the oven. Repairs should only be done by a qualified service person. 5.

ATTENTION PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAUTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MICROWAVE OVEN Failure to follow these instructions and properly maintain this unit may lead to premature failure of the Microwave and may void the warranty. Please read the following guidelines along with the included owners manual prior to operating this unit. Unit must be placed in an open area, making certain that there is adequate clearance and ventilation in the back and front of the unit. Filters must be cleaned and re-installed on a regular schedule in order to provide proper air flow through out the unit. Failure to properly maintain the filters will result in the Microwave overheating and possible early component failure. Top Splatter shield MUST be installed at all times when unit is in operation. Failure to install the splatter shield will result in food buildup on the inside top of the cavity and will eventually lead to arcing and the eventual destruction of the cavity and will void the warranty. Do not scrap or peel off rubber gasket around the base of the bottom plate as this will allow spillage under the bottom plate and may lead to destruction of the cavity. Do not slam door shut or pull down on the door as this may damage the door latch mechanism and / or hinges and render the Microwave inoperative. Do not over fill pans as spillage may occur. If spillage does occur, please wipe it up immediately. Follow the guides on pages 20 to 21 for proper cleaning instructions. Do not place unit near other sources of heat, such as stoves, heat lamps, or ovens as this may shorten the life of the Microwave oven components and render the unit inoperative. Do not place metal objects such as aluminum foil, metal pans or metal utensils as this will damage both the inside of the cavity as well as electronic components. IF BOTTOM PLATE BREAKS or CRACKS, or THERE IS SPARKING IN THE CAVITY WHILE HEATING FOOD, DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE OVEN CONTACT AUTHORIZED SERVICE AGENCY IMMEDIATELY!! 1-877-266-6836 Self Diagnostics Failure Code Explanation This oven monitors its operation and displays a Failure Code in Digital Display Window when a problem occurs.

Power Source Voltage Adjustment Models No. NE-17521/NE-17523/NE-21521/NE-21523 The microwave automatically detects 208 V and 230 V240 V. Insert the plug, and if the Digital Display Window goes blank 10 seconds after use, unplug and insert the plug again. 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. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube. From the magnetron tube, microwave energy is transmitted to the oven cavity where it is: reflected, transmitted and absorbed. Reflection Microwave 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 and above the ceiling cover assure that the microwaves are well distributed within the oven cavity to produce even heating or cooking of foods. Transmission Microwave 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 the microwave energy, they are ideal materials for microwave oven heating containers when covered. Absorption During heating, microwaves will be absorbed by food. They penetrate to a depth of about 34 to 112 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 is conducted to the center of the food. Foods also continue to heat by conduction during standing time. (carry-over cooking) Because microwave dissipate, much like sunlight as it reaches the Earths surface, they are not stored in food. TV / RADIO / WIRELESS EQUIPMENT INTERFERENCE 1. This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Microwave Oven, pursuant to Part 18 of the FCC Rules.

Heating and Defrosting Time Charts MICROWAVE BASICS Fundamental principles determine the success of microwave food preparation. They include:
1. TEMPERATURE OF FOODS Frozen or refrigerated food items will require longer heating times to reach a desired serving temperature than foods from room temperature. 2. FOOD COMPONENTS Foods high in sugar, salt, fats and moisture content heat faster because these properties attract microwave energy. Denser foods high in protein and fiber, absorb microwave energy slower which means a lengthier heating time. 3. BULK/VOLUME The greater the mass of food, the longer it takes to heat. 4. CONTAINERS Ceramic, paper, china, styrofoam, glass and plastic are suitable for use in microwave ovens with the following caution. DO NOT HEAT foods in a SEALED container or Heating foods with either high sugar or high fat content should be done. ONLY in high temperature-resistant containers since these foods get very hot. Using styrofoam containers for these foods will cause the styrofoam to warp. Other low temperature restaurant glass or plastic platters may crack or wrap under similar conditions. bag. Foods expand when heated and can break the container or bag. 5. AVOID METAL because it bounces the microwaves, causing uneven heating and sometimes even flashes, which may pit or mar the interior of the oven, the metal container or plate trim. 6. Heated liquids can erupt if not mixed with air. Do not heat liquids in your microwave oven without first stirring. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR HEATING IN A PANASONIC MICROWAVE OVEN For specific time, see each food category for appropriate heating techniques, plus necessary pre-
preparation of foods. HEATING FOODS FROM REFRIGERATED TEMPERATURE Foods stored in the refrigerator (< 40F) should be covered before reheating with the exception of breads, pastries or any breaded product, which should be heated uncovered to prevent sogginess. Most conventionally prepared foods should be slightly undercooked, and held in the refrigerator, so that overcooking does not occur during microwave heating. Cooked items, such as vegetables, may be portion plated and covered for reheating without loss of color, texture or nutritional content. HEATING FOODS FROM ROOM TEMPERATURE Food items such as canned items, fresh vegetables, etc. will require significantly less heating time than those from refrigerated temperatures. IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS 1. For best results it is recommended that foods conventionally prepared be slightly undercooked when subsequently heated in this oven. 2. REMEMBER that after the heating cycle has been completed, internal food temperatures continue to rise slightly in foods heated in this oven. 3. A major abuse of microwave applications is the category of breads, pastries and pies are drier than insides or fillings, they heat more slowly. Therefore, baked goods should ONLY be heated until the crust is warm to the touch (120F-130F). 4. DO NOT OVERHEAT YOUR FOOD: 99% of all food quantity complaints of microwave heated foods can be traced to overheating. Finally times given are approximate always follow USDA/FDA temperature and operational gridlines when cooking.

Heating and Defrosting Time Charts APPETIZERS Quantities of appetizers can be prepared conventionally in advance and refrigerated until needed. Most appetizers, with the exception of nacho platters and potato skins, should be heated covered. Appetizers of the same basic shape and size can be reheated together. Most cooked appetizers heat on HIGH power, between 7 and 11 seconds per ounce depending on weight, density, and bone content. Nachos need 30 to 37 seconds per ounce depending on the amount of topping. All heating times listed in the chart are from refrigerated temperatures (40F) except for nacho chips.

Heating and Defrosting Time Charts BAKED GOODS AND DESSERTS Breads, pastries and pies should be heated uncovered, at HIGH power. They should be placed on absorbent material, such as a napkin or paper towel to prevent sogginess. DO NOT OVERHEAT breads and pastries. Baked goods should only be heated until the crust feels warm to the touch (120F-130F). Because crusts of breads, pastries and pies are drier than insides or fillings, they heat more slowly. After heating let rest about 1 minute for equalization of temperature. If product is overheated, the end result will not be satisfactory. Heating times for sweet baked goods and desserts are relatively short because of the high sugar content.

Heating and Defrosting Time Charts BREAKFAST All foods listed are prepared in advance and reheated at HIGH power from refrigerated temperatures (40F). Most breakfast foods are heated covered to retain moisture, with the exception of breads and pastries, which should be heated uncovered on absorbent material such as a napkin or paper towel to prevent sogginess. For poached eggs, pierce yolks before heating and allow eggs to stand for 1 minute after cooking so pressure subsides before cutting into them. When preparing breakfast foods conventionally, undercook slightly and immediately chill and store, covered, for later reheating. Cured breakfast meats will reheat faster than uncured meats because salt readily absorbs microwave energy. WARNING: Never cook or reheat eggs in the shell.

Heating and Defrosting Time Charts SANDWICHES Preassembled sandwiches can be heated quickly and easily in this microwave oven. For best results, assemble sandwiches no more than 3 hours in advance. Meat fillings such as hamburgers and sausage should be precooked and preferably not be more than 12 inch thick. Day-old, toasted breads, or breads whose formula is enriched with egg or fat are advantageous because they tend to become less soggy when heated. Thin sliced means, lightly packed, allow for more even heating. Place meat over bread. All but openfaced sandwiches should be heated uncovered on absorbent material such as paper towel or napkin to prevent sogginess.

Heating and Defrosting Time Charts VEGETABLES Most vegetables, small and bulk portions, defrost, heat, and cook very successfully in the microwave, retaining fresh color and texture as well an nutritional value. The thicker and more fibrous the vegetable, the longer the cooking time. (ie. Root vegetables) Frozen vegetables can be defrosted and heated in one step. One to two tablespoons of water should be added to frozen vegetables. Icy sections should be broken up during heating for even temperature distribution. Canned vegetables can be heated using HIGH in approximately 1 minute per pound. Most fresh vegetables are prepared with a small amount of cooking liquid such as water.

Because these substances do not absorb or reflect the microwave energy, they are ideal materiz for microwave oven heating containers when covered Is BP owave Work?
Absorption During heating, microwaves will be absorbed by food. They penetrate to a depth of about % 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 2.456,000,000 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 is conducted to the center of the food. Foods also continue to heat by conduction during standing time. (carry-over cooking}
