Installation - Panasonic NE-SCV2N Operating Instructions Manual

INSTALLATION

EXAMINE YOUR OVEN
Unpack the oven, remove all packing material, and examine the oven for any damage such as
dents, broken door latches or cracks in the door. Notify the service agent immediately if the unit is
damaged. DO NOT install it if the unit is damaged.
GROUNDING
When an outlet is not grounded, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to
have it replaced with a properly grounded outlet.
VOLTAGE AND POWER WARNING
The voltage used must be the same as specified on the oven. Using another voltage than that
which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing damage.
Do not plug your oven in via an extension cable as this can be dangerous. The back of the oven
heats up during use. Do not allow the cord to be in contact with the back of the oven or cabinet
surface.
PLACEMENT OF THE OVEN
Locate the oven on a smooth, flat, and stable surface.
There should be no gap between the table surface and the bottom of the oven. Do not place the
oven in a hot or damp area, e.g. near a stove, sink, or directly above heat lamps on a serving line.
Free airflow around the oven is important. There is a possibility of a small amount of interference
with weak broadcast signals if the oven is too close to a radio or TV.
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 as 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 can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman 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 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating
of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
WIRING REQUIREMENTS
No other appliance should share the circuit with the oven. If it does,
the branch circuit fuse may overload and either cause the oven to
produce lower power output or blow the fuse.
1. This oven must be on a separate, 60 Hz GROUNDED CIRCUIT
– minimum 20 amps.
2. The ovens are built to operate on 2 different voltages (240 V or
208 V).
An external equipotential bonding conductor is provided at the back side of the oven and it is
marked by this symbol.
