lf it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three
wire extension cord that has a three blade grounding piug,
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 ol the appliance.
Wiring Requirements
'L The oven must be plugged into at least a 15 AMP 120
VOLT, 60 Hz GBOUNDED OUTLET,
Where a standard two-prong outlet is encountered, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of the user to have it

2. The oven must be on a SEPARATE CIRCUIT. No other
aoDliance 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 tood may cook slower than the
times recommended in this manual.
3. 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 heating. Panasonic is NOT responsible for damage
resulting from the use of the oven with other than specified
voltaqe.
