Installation and GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Examine Your Oven
Unpack oven, remove ail 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 suf­
ficient air flow. Allow 3-inches (7.6 cm) of
space on both sides of the oven and 1-inch
(2.5 cm) of space 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 sur­
face 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 eiectric current. This
appiiance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire witn 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 per­
son if the grounding instructions are not com­
pletely 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
electrical 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
avaiiable locally 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 appli­
ance, (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 counter top or table-
top 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, 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 speci­
fied on this microwave oven (120 V, 60 Hz).
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 dam­
age 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 encoun­
tered, it is the personal responsibility and obliga­
tion of the consumer to have it replaced with^
properly grounded three-prong
outlet.
TV / 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)
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.
Glass Tray
1. DO NOT operate the oven without Roller Ring
and Glass Tray in place.
2. DO NOT operate the oven without the Glass Tray
fully engaged on the drive hub. Improper cooking
or damage to the oven could result. Verify that
the Glass Tray is properly engaged and rotating
by observing its rotation when you press Sfarf.
3. Only use Glass Tray specifically designed for this
oven. Do not substitute any other glass tray.
4. If Glass Tray is hot, allow to coo! before cleaning
or placing in water.
5. DO NOT cook directly on Glass Tray. Always
place food in a microwave-safe dish, or on a rack
set in a microivave-safe dish.
6. If food or utensil on Glass Tray touches oven
walls, causing the tray to stop moving, the tray
will automatically rotate in opposite direction. This
is normal.
7. Glass Tray can turn in either direction.
Roller Ring
1. Roller Ring and oven floor should be cleaned fre­
quently to prevent excessive noise.
2. Roller Ring must always be used for cooking
along with Glass Tray.
3. Always replace Roller Ring and Glass Tray in
their proper positions.
