1.   DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, 
the oven may overheat. If the oven overheats, a thermal safety 
device will turn the oven off. The oven will remain inoperable 
until it has cooled.
2.   The oven is designed for installation into a wall cabinet by using 
the proper trim kit available from a local Panasonic dealer, 
follow all instructions packed with the kit. 
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 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 of 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. 
3.  DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other 
materials in the oven, or use newspaper or 
paper bags for cooking.

to controls may occur.
5.  DO NOT use recycled paper products 
unless the paper product is labeled as safe for microwave oven 
use. Recycled paper products may contain impurities, which may 
cause sparking.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING:
POT HOLDERS should always be used when removing items from 
the oven. Heat is transferred from 
the HOT food to the cooking 
container and from the container 
to the Glass Tray. The Glass 
Tray can also be very HOT after 
removing the cooking container 
from the oven.
Glass Tray 
1.  DO NOT operate the oven without the Roller Ring and the Glass 
Tray in place.

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.

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, 
  (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 three-wire 
 cord, and 
  (3)  the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not  
  drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be 
  pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. 
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 circuit breaker 
may trip. The oven must be plugged into at least a 20 A, 120 V, 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 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.

Installation and Grounding Instructions (continued)
Food Preparation
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 popcorn that 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 11). Otherwise, the popcorn may not pop adequately 
or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave the oven unattended 
when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool before 
opening, and always open the bag facing away from your face and 
body to prevent steam burns.
F0003BR60AP_02_20151225.indd   4F0003BR60AP_02_20151225.indd   4 2016/1/18   8:39:362016/1/18   8:39:36

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 
may 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 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 that 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 manufacturer. 
DO NOT preheat browning dish more than six 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 eating. Some foods have fillings, which heat faster 
and can be extremely hot, while the surface remains warm to the 
touch (for example, jelly donuts).
11) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES
•   DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the 
preparation of food.

Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven
Please see below and the following page 
for particular cleaning instructions for 
each section of the oven.
BEFORE CLEANING: Unplug oven at wall 
outlet. If outlet is inaccessible, leave oven 
door open while cleaning.
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.
1.  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.
2.  Label: Do not remove. Wipe with a 
damp cloth.
3.  Inside the Oven: Wipe with a damp 
cloth after using. Mild detergent may 
be used if needed. Do not use harsh 
detergents or abrasives.
4.  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.
5.  Oven Cavity Floor: Clean the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent, water or window cleaner, and dry.
6.  Wave Guide Cover: Do not remove Wave Guide Cover. It is important to keep cover clean in the same manner as the inside of the 
oven.

Before Requesting Service
See below before calling for service, as most problems can easily be remedied by following these simple solutions:
Problem Solution
The oven causes TV 
interference.
Some radio, TV, Wi-Fi, cordless telephone, baby monitor, blue tooth or 
other wireless equipment 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 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 16).
Oven will not turn on.
The oven is not plugged in securely or needs to be reset; remove plug from 
outlet, wait ten seconds and re-insert.
Main circuit breaker or main fuse is tripped; reset main circuit breaker or replace 
main fuse.
There is a problem with the outlet; plug another appliance into the outlet to 
check if it is working.
Oven will not start 
cooking.
The door is not completely closed; close the oven door securely.
Start was not pressed after programming; press Start.
Another program is already entered into the oven; press Stop/Reset to cancel 
the previous program and enter new program.
The program is not correct; program again according to the Operating 
Instructions.
Stop/Reset has been pressed accidentally; program oven again.
The Glass Tray 
wobbles.
The Glass Tray is not positioned properly on the Roller Ring or there is food under 
the Roller Ring; take out Glass Tray and Roller Ring. Wipe with a damp cloth and 
reset Roller Ring and Glass Tray properly.
When the oven is 
operating, there is 
noise coming from 
the Glass Tray.
The Roller Ring and oven bottom are dirty; clean these parts according to Care 
and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven (see page 16).
The word “           ” 
appears in the 
display.
The CHILD SAFETY LOCK was activated by pressing Start three times; Deactivate 
CHILD SAFETY LOCK by pressing Stop/Reset three times.
The oven stops  
cooking and “H00“, 
“H97” or “H98” 
appears in the 
display.
The oven’s power supply has failed; please contact an authorized Service Center 
(see next page).
