Installation And Grounding Instructions - Panasonic NN-C994S Operating Instructions Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Ceramic Tray
1. DO NOT operate the oven without the Roller
Ring and the Ceramic Tray in place.
2. DO NOT operate the oven without the Ceramic
Tray fully engaged on the drive hub. Improper
cooking or damage to the oven could result.
Verify that the Ceramic Tray is properly engaged
and rotating by observing its rotation when you
press Start. Note: The Ceramic Tray can turn in
either direction.
3. Use only the Ceramic Tray specifically designed
for this oven.
DO NOT substitute any other ceramic tray.
4. If the Ceramic Tray is hot, allow to cool before
cleaning or placing in water.
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.
(continued)
5. DO NOT cook directly on the Ceramic Tray.
Always place food in a microwave safe dish, or
on a rack set in a microwave safe dish.
6. If food or utensils on the Ceramic Tray touch
oven walls, causing the tray to stop moving, the
tray will automatically rotate in the opposite
direction.
Roller Ring
1. The Roller Ring and oven floor should be
cleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise.
2. Always replace the Roller Ring and the Ceramic
Tray in their proper positions.
3. The Roller Ring must always be used for cooking
along with the Ceramic Tray.
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
a properly grounded
three-prong outlet.
