pletely understood, orif doubt exists as to whether the appliance isproperly grounded. Ifit
is necessary to use an extensioncord, use only a three wire extension cord that has a
three prong polarized grounding plug, and a three slot receptaclethat will accept the plug
on the appliance.The marked rating of the extensioncord should be equal to or greater
than the electrical rating ofthe appliance.
Grounding Instructions
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED. In the event of an electricalshort circuit,
grounding reduces the risk ofelectric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. This appliance isequipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug.The plug must be plugged intoan outlet that isproperly installed andgrounded.
• Plug into properly installedand grounded 3 prong outlet.
• DO NOT remove ground prong.
• DO NOT use an adapter.

1.A short power-supplycord isprovided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or trippingover a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets orextension cords are availableand may be used if care is exercised
in their use. Do not letcord hang over edge of a table or counter.
3. If a long cord orextension cord is used, (1) the marked electricalrating of thecord set
or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical ratingof the appliance, (2)
the extension cord must be a grounding-type3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord
should be arranged so that itwill not drape overthe counter top or table-
top where it can be pulled on by childrenor tripped over accidentally.
r.._ql
Wiring Requirements
The oven must be operated on a SEPARATE CIRCUIT.No other applianceshould share
the circuitwith the microwave oven. If itdoes, the branch circuitfuse 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 isencountered, it isthe
personal responsibilityand obligationof the consumer to have it replacedwith a properly
grounded three-prong outlet.The VOLTAGEused must be the same as specified on this
microwave oven (120 V,60 Hz). Using a higher voltage isdangerous and may result in a
fire or oven damage. Using a lowervoltage will cause slow cooking. Panasonic is NOT
responsible for any damages resultingfrom the use of the oven with any voltage other
than specified.
TV/Radio Interference
1.Operation ofthe microwave oven may cause interferenceto your radio,TV or similar
equipment.
2.When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated bytaking the following
measures:
(a) Placethe radio,TV, etc. away from the microwave oven as far as possible.

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.
2) POPCORN
Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven corn popper. Microwave pop-
corn which pops in its own package isalso 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 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 facing 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.
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 wails 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
• DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the preparation of food.

Defrosting Tips & Techniques
Pre_oaration 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.
4. Seal securely, date, and label.
To Defrost:
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).
After Defrosting:
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 14.
3. Rinse foods indicated in the chart.
4. Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer stand time.

SensorReheatI SensorCook1Feature Feature
This sensor feature allows you to reheat
cooked, refrigerated food without setting
time. The oven simplifies programming.
Example: To reheat a plate of food
1. ° Press Sensor Reheat.
2. • (see More/Less
Feature)
or (trpage 12)
Optional
3. • 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.)
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-
roledish or serving bowl, cover dish with lid or
vented plasticwrap. After reheating, letstand
for a few minutes.
Plate of food -Arrange food on plate; top with
butter,gravy, etc. Cover with lid or vented
plasticwrap. 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. Ifoven cavity iswarm.
4. For beverages.
5. For frozen foods.
This sensor feature allows you to cook
food without setting time. The oven simpli-
fies programming.
Example: To cook Frozen Entrees
1. • Press until the desired
food number appears
Press 4 times in the display window.
2. • (see More/Less
Feature)
or (trpage 12)
Optional
3. • 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.)
For the best results with the GENIUS
SENSOR, follow these
recommendations,
BEFORE Reheating/Cooking:
1. The room temperature surrounding the
oven should be below 95° F (35° C).
2. Food weight should exceed 4 oz. (110 g).
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 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.

[Food Characteristics I
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 centers be very care-
ful. Certain foods have centers made with
sugar, water, or fat and these centers
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 center.
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 center 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.
ICooking Techniques]
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 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 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.
21
Cooking Techniques (continued)1
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. Itis 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 center
and the less cooked center 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 center and pieces from the center to the
edge of the dish.
22
Turning
It isnot 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 insure even cooking, these
food 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 5°F to 15°F (3°C to 8°C), 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 center 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 isdone 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 isdone when a
toothpick or cake tester is inserted and
comes out clean.
ABOUT FOOD SAFETY AND

Before RequestingService
/These things are normal-
The oven causes
interference with
my TV.
Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook
with the microwave oven. This interference is similar to the
interference caused by small appliances such as mixers,
vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with
your oven.
Steam accumulates
on the oven door and
warm air comes from
the oven vents.
During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the
food. Most of the steam and warm air are removed from the
oven by the air which circulates in the oven cavity. However,
some steam will condense on cooler surfaces such as the
oven door. This is normal. After use, the oven should be
wiped dry (see page 23).
