Panasonic NE-1064 Operating Instructions Manual page 4

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.
Remove Protective Plastic Film
lf a plastic film has been wrapped around the oven to protect
the painted finish from scratching during shipping, please
remove this plastic film prior to using the oven. (However, all
ovens do not have plastic film wrapping.)
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 of space on both sides of the oven and 1-inch of
space on top of oven.
a. DO NOT block air vents. lf they are blocked during
operation, the oven may overheat. lf 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 oven near a hot damp surface such as a
gas or electric range.
c. DO NOT operate oven when room humidity is too high.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, groundino 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
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
lf 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 ol the extension cord should be
equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
Wiring Requirements
1 . The oven must be plugged into at least a 15 AMP 120
V O L T , 6 0 H z G R O U N D E D O U T L E T .
Where a standard two-prong outlet is encountered, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of the user to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong
o u t l e t ( F i g . 1 ) .

2. The oven must be on a SEPARATE CIRCUIT. No other
appliance should share the circuit with the microwave oven.
lf it does, the branch circuit fuse may blow, or the circuit
breaker may trip or the food may cook slower than the
times recommended in this manual.
3. The VOLTAGE used must be lhe same as soecified 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 heating. Panasonic is NOT responsible for damage
resulting from the use of the oven with other than specified
voltage.
