First, ensure that the microwave is plugged in and the door is properly closed. Check the circuit breaker and fuses. If the problem persists, contact Panasonic support.
Unplug the microwave and use a damp cloth with mild detergent to wipe the interior. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Ensure the interior is dry before use.
Use the 'Defrost' function by pressing the 'Defrost' button and entering the weight of the food. Follow the prompts on the display to complete the defrosting process.

Regularly clean the interior and exterior, check the door seals for damage, and ensure the vents are clear. Schedule professional maintenance annually for optimal performance.
