INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 a 15 AMP or 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. as far away from the microwave oven 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)
The Hood
1.The vent fan in your oven will operate automatically under certain cooktop operating conditions. This is
normal. Caution is required to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in
operation.
2.Never leave surface units unattended at high heat setting. Boil over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite and spread if vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized utensils and use
high heat settings only when necessary.
3.In the event of a grease fire, smother flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray.
4.Keep hood and grease filters clean, according to instructions on page 26, to maintain adequate venting and avoid
grease fires.
5.To protect the automatic fan feature, always keep the filter clean (see page 26). Should the fan require repair, do
not operate microwave oven until it has been repaired.
6.Charcoal filter should be replaced periodically. It may be purchased from a local Panasonic dealer.
Indoor Venting
If the air exhaust must be recirculated by this unit inside the kitchen, a charcoal filter must be used. A charcoal filter
has been installed for your convenience. However, we recommend that this filter be changed as soon as possible
with the replacement charcoal filter kit (NN-CF203) that can be purchased from your local Panasonic dealer.
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 may remove the food from the oven while the fan operates.
