Installation and GR OUND G INSTRUCTIONS
Placement of the Oven Locate the oven on a smooth, flat and stable surface. 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 electical rating of the oven. Removal of Protective Film 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 overioad and either cause the oven to heat slower than
expected or blow the fuse.
A. For Model NE-1257/NE-1258
The oven must be on a SEPARATE, 20 amp,
60 Hz-120 V GROUNDED CIRCUIT.

B. For Models NE-1757/NE-2157 1. This oven must be on a separate, 60 Hz GROUNDED CIRCUIT - minimum 15 amps for NE-1757; minimum 20 amps for NE-2157.
2. The microwave ovens are built to operate on 2 different voltages (230-240 V or 208 V). Be sure that the voltage selector connector (on the back of the oven) is set for your power supply (see page 5). Using a higher voltage setting is dangerous and may result in overheating of the electrical components thus shortening their life expectancy or possibly causing a fire or other accident. Using a lower voltage will lower the power output of the oven, resulting in slower heating of the food. Panasonic is NOT responsible for damage resulting from the use of the oven with other than the specified voltage.

1. Do not attempt to tamper with or make any
adjustments or repairs to the door, control pane! 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. 2. Do NOT operate the oven empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy. 3. If a fire occurs in the oven, press the Stop/Reset
Pad and LEAVE THE DOOR CLOSED. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. 4. Do NOT attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven, as they may catch on fire.
5. Do NOT use recycled paper products, as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires.
6. Do NOT use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.
7. Do NOT hit or strike the control panel. Damage to controls may occur.
8. POT HOLDERS may be needed when removing food from the oven. Heat is transferred from the hot food to the container.
9. Do NOT store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard.
10. Do NOT operate the oven without the spatter shields (located in the top of inner cavity) in place.
Power Source Votacge Adjustment
The microwave oven Models NE-1757 and NE-2157 are factory set for 208 V operation. For 230 V - 240 V operation, the following adjustment MUST be made.
(Step 1) Make sure that the power cord is unplugged before removing the voltage adjustment panel cover.
(Step 2) Unscrew the voltage adjustment panel cover which is located on the back of the oven. Do not remove any other parts from the oven.
(Step 3) Remove the white connector and plug the black connector into the socket.
(Step 4) Store the unused white connector in the rectangular opening.
(Step 5) Reattach the voltage adjustment panel cover to the cabinet.
For 230 V - 240 V -- Use black connector plug. For 208 V -- Use white connector plug.
To go from 230 V - 240 V to 208 V circuit follow steps 1-5 above, except at step 3, plug the white connector plug into the socket and store the black plug in the rectangular opening.
How Does Thal
VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT PANEL COVER
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; approximately five inches long. 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 3/4 to 11/2 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 Earth's surface, they are not stored in food.
Radio Inference 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.Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven.
(See Care of Your Microwave Oven found on page 16.)
b. Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the microwave oven as far as possible.
c. Use a properly installed antenna, to obtain stronger signal reception.

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 SHIELD 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 NATIONAL MICROWAVE OVEN
For specific time, see each food category for appropriate heating techniques, plus necessary prepreparation of foods.
HEATING FOODS FROM REFRIGERATED TEMPERATURE
Foods stored in the refrigerator (40°F) 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 entree, 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 (120°F-130°F).
4. DO NOT OVERHEAT YOUR FOOD: 99% of all food quantity complaints of microwave heated foods can be traced to overheating.

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. "Nacho's" need 30 to 37 seconds per ounce depending on the amount of topping.
All heating times listed in the chart are from refrigerated temperatures (40°F) except for "nacho" chips.

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 (120°F-130°F).
Because crusts of breads, pastries and pies are drier than insides or fillings, they heat more slowly. After heating let rest about 1 minutes for equalization of temperature. If product is overheated, the end result will

BREAKFAST
All foods listed are prepared in advance and reheated at HIGH power from refrigerated temperatures (40°F).
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 one 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. They may explode when interior pressure builds up.

SANDWICHES
Preassembled sandwiches can be heated quickly and easily in this microwave oven. For best results, assemble sandwiches no more than three hours in advance. Meat fillings such as hamburgers and sausage should be precooked and preferably not be more than 1/2 inch thick.
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.
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.

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 fiberous 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.
