switch, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.

Earthing Instructions
This microwave oven must be earthed. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current. This microwave oven is
equipped with a cord having an earthing wire with
an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and earthed.
WARNING - Improper use of the earthing plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.
Placement of Oven
1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface
more than 85 cm above the floor. For correct
operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow.
Allow 15 cm of space on the top of the oven,
10 cm at back and 5 cm on both sides. If one
side of the oven is placed flush to a wall, the
other side or top must not be blocked.
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 or damp surface
such as a gas stove, electric range or sink etc.
c) Do not operate oven when room humidity is
too high.
2. The surfaces of top, back and left side of the
oven become hot during operation. Do not allow
the mains cable to come in contact with the
surface of the oven.
3. This oven was manufactured for household use
only.
4. This oven may be built into a wall cabinet, if
desired. Trim kits may be purchased from a local
Panasonic dealer. See page 97 for technical
specifications.
Circuit
Your microwave oven should be operated on a
separate 10 A circuit from other appliances. Failure
to do this may cause the power board fuse to blow,
and/or food to cook slower. Do not insert higher
value fuse in the power board.
Fan Motor Operation
After using the oven, the fan may rotate to cool the
electric components. This is perfectly normal, and
you can take out the food from the oven while the
fan operates.
