iMPortant safety instructions
(continued)

18. superheated liquids
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the
boiling point without showing evidence (or signs) of boiling. Visible bubbling
is not always present when the container is removed from the microwave
oven. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
(a) stir the liquid both before and halfWay through
heating it.
(b) do not heat water and oil, or fats together. the film of oil will trap
steam, and may cause a violent eruption.
(c) do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
(d) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a
short time before removing the container.
19. do not cook directly on the turntable. It can crack, cause injury or damage
to the oven.

WaRninG
to avoid the risK of shocK:

do not remove outer panel from oven. Repairs must be done only by a qualified 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 microwave oven empty or use metal
containers. When using the microwave oven without water or food,
microwave energy cannot be absorbed and will continuously reflect
throughout the cavity. This will cause arcing and damage the oven
cavity, door or other components, which can lead to a fire hazard.
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 newspaper or
paper bags for cooking.
4. do not hit or strike Control Panel. Damage 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.

installation and grounding
instructions
(continued)
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
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 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,
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• 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

1. 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.
2. The oven must be plugged into a 15 AMP or 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.
3. 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)

safety Precautions
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 which 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 button (refer to page
16). 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 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.

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 2.5 cm (1-inch) 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 towels
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
for longer 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 eating. Some foods have fillings which heat faster and can be extremely hot, while
the surface remains warm to the touch (e.g. jelly donuts).

11) general oven usage guidelines
• do not use the oven for any purpose other than the preparation of food.

defrosting tips & techniques
Preparation 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 centre. Defrosting will complete during STANDING TIME.
2. Let stand, covered, following stand time directions on page 18.
3. Rinse foods as indicated in the chart.
4. Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer stand time.

do not use sensor reheat:
1. To reheat bread, meat pie and pastry products. Use manual power and time for these

for the best results with the GENIUS
SENSor, follow these recommendations.
before Reheating/Cooking:
1. The room temperature surrounding the
oven should be below 35 °C (95 °F).
2. Food weight should exceed 110 g (4 oz.).
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 inaccurate 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

cooking techniques

bone and fat

Piercing

Both bone and fat affect cooking. Bones may cause irregular cooking. Meat next to the
tips of bones may overcook
while meat positioned under a large bone,
such as a ham bone, may be undercooked. Large amounts of fat absorb
microwave energy and the meat next to
these areas may overcook.

Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced,
scored or have a strip of
skin peeled before cooking 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 built 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.

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 centres be very careful. Certain foods have centres made with
sugar, water, or fat and these centres
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 centre.

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, combine 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.

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.

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.

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 centre 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.

cooking techniques
covering

(continued)

turning

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.

It is not possible to stir some foods to distribute the heat evenly. At times, microwave
energy will concentrate in one area of the
food. To help ensure even cooking, these
foods 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 conduction after the microwave oven is turned off.
In meat cookery, the internal temperature
will rise 3 °C to 8 °C (5 °F to 15 °F), if
allowed to stand, tented with foil, for 10 to
15 minutes. Casseroles and vegetables
need a shorter amount of standing time, but
this standing time is necessary to allow
foods to complete cooking to the centre
without overcooking on the edges.

shielding

Thin areas of meat and poultry cook more
quickly than meaty portions. To prevent
overcooking, these thin areas can be shielded 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.

test for doneness

The same tests for doneness used in conventional cooking may be used for
microwave cooking. Meat is done 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 is done when a
toothpick or cake tester is inserted and
comes out clean.

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 preferences. Always cook food for the minimum
cooking time given in a recipe and check for
doneness. If the food is undercooked, continue cooking. It is easier to add time to an
undercooked product. Once the food is
overcooked, nothing can be done.

about food safety and
cooKing teMPerature

• Check foods to see that they are cooked
at the recommended temperatures.

teMP

food

71 ˚C (160 ˚F) ... for fresh pork, ground meat,
boneless white poultry, fish,
seafood, egg dishes and
frozen prepared food.

refrigerated, and deli and
carryout “fresh” food.
77 ˚C (170 ˚F) ... white meat of poultry.
82 ˚C (180 ˚F) ... dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from
fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer
in the food during cooking, unless it is
approved for microwave oven use.

stirring

Stirring is usually necessary during
microwave cooking. Always bring the
cooked outside edges toward the centre
and the less cooked centre 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 centre and pieces from the centre to the
edge of the dish.

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 9).
