Grounding instructions and Installation

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. 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. 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 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 electrical rating of the oven.

Anti-Theft Device

This Microwave Oven is equipped with one mounting

hole on the bottom of the unit. Use a Vie inch bolt to
anchor the unit to your shelf or counter.
See “Anti •Theft” Installing Instructions” on page 15.

for specific mounting instructions.

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
overload and either cause the oven to heat slower than
expected or blow the fuse.

A. For Model NE-1257

The oven must be on a SEPARATE, 20 amp,

60 Hz-120 V GROUNDED CIRCUIT.

B. For Model NE-1757

1. This oven must be on a separate, 60 Hz

GROUNDED CIRCUIT—minimum15 amps.

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.
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

specified voltage.
