INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
• Plug into properly installed and grounded 3 prong outlet.
• DO NOT remove ground prong.
• DO NOT use an adapter.
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. DO NOT let cord hang over edge of a table or counter.
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 counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
Wiring Requirements
1. The oven must be operated 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 oven damage. Using a lower
voltage will cause slow cooking. Panasonic is NOT responsible for any damages resulting from
the use of the oven with any voltage other than specified.
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) Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the microwave oven as far as possible.
(b) Use a properly installed antenna to obtain stronger signal reception.
(c) Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven. (See Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave
Oven)
Fan Motor Operation
After using the oven repeatedly or for long time, the fan may operate to cool the electric components.
This is perfectly normal, and you can take out the food from the oven while the fan operates.
