INSTALLATION & GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Examine Your Oven
Unpack oven, remove all packing material, and examine the oven
for any damage such as dents, broken door latches or cracks in the
door. Notify dealer immediately if oven is damaged. Do NOT install
if oven is damaged.
Placement of Oven
1. Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. For proper
operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 3 inches
{8 cm) of space on both sides of the oven and 1 inch (2.5 cm) of
space on top of oven.
a. 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.
b. Do NOT place oven near a hot damp surface such as a
gas or electric range.
c. Do NOT operate oven when room humidity is too high.
2. This oven was manufactured for household use only.
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.
WARNING—Improper use of the grounding plug can result in
a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or senrice 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 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 electricat rating of the appliance.
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.
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 countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over accidentally.
Wiring Requirements
1. The oven must be 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 or the food may cook slower than the times
recommended in this manual.
2. The VOLTAGE used must be the same as specified on this
microwave oven (120V). Using a higher voltage is
dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident causing
oven damage. Using a lower voltage will cause slow
cooking. Panasonic is NOT responsible for damage
resulting from the use of the oven with other than specified
voltage.
3. 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
property grounded three-
prong outlet.
4. A TEMPORARY CONNECTION with a two-prong adapter
may be made where LOCAL CODES PERMIT. Unless the
cover screw is grounded through the house wiring,
attaching the adapter
grounding plate to the JTQ>i.
cover screw will not
ground the oven. If
•
there is any doubt that
the cover screw is
grounded, have it
checked by an electrician.
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. Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven. (See Care
of Your Microwave Oven, p. 35).
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.
