16. Some products such as whole eggs with or without shell, narrow neck bottles
and sealed containers — for example, closed glass jars — may explode and
should not be heated in this oven.
17. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
(a) DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or
other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.
(b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in

service 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 over-
heating 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 oven.
3. DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven, or use news-
paper or paper bags for cooking.
4. DO NOT hit or strike Control Panel. Damage to controls may occur.

safe for microwave oven use. Recyled 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 cook-
ing container from the oven.
The wire rack is designed for use only in the browning mode and will be hot after
use. Care in handling must be exercised.
The metal browning dish supplied with this oven must be used only directly
upon the glass tray. Other use will result in damage to the dish and the
microwave oven. Replace dish if rubber base becomes damaged or separat-
ed from metal dish.
Glass Tray
1. DO NOT operate the oven without the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in place.
2. DO NOT operate the oven without the Glass Tray fully engaged on the drive
hub. Improper cooking or damage to the oven could result. Verify that the Glass
Tray is properly engaged and rotating by observing its rotation when you press
Start. Note: The Glass Tray can turn in either direction.
3. Use only the Glass Tray specifically designed for this oven. DO NOT substitute
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, on a rack set in a microwave safe dish, or in the metal dish provided
with this oven.
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.

—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. 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, (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.
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
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
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)

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 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 13).
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.
Safety Precautions
IP1619_38W30AP_00_080110 2008.1.10 13:52 Page 8

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
• DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the preparation of food.

a damp cloth.
Inside of the oven:
Wipe with a damp cloth
after using. Mild detergent
may be used if needed.
Do not use harsh deter-
gents or abrasives.
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 cool-
er surfaces, such as
the oven door. This is
normal.)
Inside surface is cov-
ered with a heat and
vapor barrier film. Do
not remove.
Glass Tray:
Remove and wash in warm soapy
water or in a dishwasher.
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 ventila-
tion openings.
Do not remove waveguide cover:
It is important to keep cover
clean in the same manner as the
inside of the oven.
Control Panel:
* Covered with a
removable protective
film to prevent
scratches during
shipping. Small bub-
bles may appear
under this film.
(Hint - To remove
film, apply masking
or clear tape to an
exposed corner and
pull gently.)
* If the Control Panel
becomes wet, clean
it with a soft dry
cloth. Do not use
harsh detergents or
abrasives.
Roller Ring and oven cavity floor:
Clean the bottom surface of the oven
with mild detergent water or window
cleaner, and dry. Roller Ring may be
washed in mild soapy water or dish-
washer. These areas should be kept
clean to avoid excessive noise.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY.
FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDENSATION MAY CAUSE RUSTING
OR ARCING AND DAMAGE TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE
DRY ALL SURFACES-INCLUDING VENT OPENINGS, OVEN
SEAMS, AND UNDER GLASS TRAY.
After cooking, the oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water. If the oven
is not cleaned occasionally to eliminate grease, it can accumulate and cause the oven to "Smoke"
during use.
Wire Rack, Browning Dish and Browning Dish Handle:
1. Never use any sharp utensils on the dish as this will dam-
age the non-stick surface.
2. After use, wash the wire rack, dish and handle in hot
soapy water and rinse in hot water. Do not use any abra-
sive cleaning substances or scouring pads as this will
damage the surface of the dish.
3. The wire rack, dish and handle are dishwasher safe.
