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 (7.6 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. Unit should be
taken to a Service Center.
b. OO 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 outtet 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 property 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 receptacte 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 available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (a) the marked
electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (b) the
extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
(c) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top 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, 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 (120 V, 60 Hz). Using a higher voltage is
dangerous and may result in a fire or other incident causing
oven damage. Using a lower vottage 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 properly
grounded three-prong outlet.
RE
OP gj
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
Start
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 cool 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 ina microwave-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 tum in either direction.
Roller Ring
1. Roller Ring and oven floor should be cleaned frequently 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.
