Installation
& GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
Placement
of Your Oven
1. Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface.
For proper operation,
the oven must have
sufficient
air flow. Allow 3" ( 8 cm ) of space on
both sides of the oven and 6" ( 15 cm ) of space
on top of the 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 the oven near a hot, damp
surface such as a gas or electric range, or
dishwasher.
c. DO NOT operate the oven when room
humidity
is too high.
2. This oven was manufactured
for household
use
only.
3. This oven may be built into a wall cabinet,
if
desired, by using the proper trim kit, which may
be purchased
from a local dealer.
Follow all installation instructions
packed with
kit.
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 service person if
the grounding
instructions
are not completely
understood,
or if it is uncertain whether the
appliance
is properly grounded or not.
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
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 recommended in
this manual.
2.
The VOLTAGE used must be the same as
specified
on this microwave
oven (120 V). 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
©11
a properly grounded
three-prong
outlet.
4.
A TEMPORARY
CONNECTION
with a two-
prong adapter may be made where LOCAL
CODES PERMIT it. Unless the cover screw is
grounded through the house wiring, attaching
the adapter grounding plate
to the cover screw wil! not
ground the oven. If there is _
_
any doubt that the cover
"
_j'_
._Y
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 found on
page 24 )
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.
Fan Motor
Operation
After using the oven, the fan rotate to cook the
electric components. This is perfectly normal, and
you can take out the food from the oven while the
fan operates.
