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
doubt
exists
as
to
whether
the appliance
is
properly
grounded.
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 the times
recommended
in
this
manual.
2.
The
VOLTAGE
used must be
the
same
as
specified
on
this
microwave oven
(120V).
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

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
property
grounded
three-
prong
outlet.
4.
A
TEMPORARY CONNECTION
with
a
two-prong adapter
may
be
made
where
LOCAL
CODES
PERMIT.
Unless
the
cover
screw
is
grounded
through the
house
wiring,
attaching the
adapter
grounding
plate to
the
cover screw
will
not
_
ground
the
oven.
If
^
there
is
any doubt
that
the
cover
screw
is
grounded,
have
it
checked by an
electrician.
