in this manual.

the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Earthing Instructions
This microwave oven must be earthed. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock
by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This
microwave oven is equipped with a cord having an earthing wire
with an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that
is properly installed and earthed.
WARNING - Improper use of the earthing plug can result in a risk
of electric shock.
Placement of Oven
1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface more than
85 cm above the floor. The appliance must be positioned so
that the plug is accessible. For correct operation, the oven
must have sufficient air flow. Allow 15 cm of space on the top
of the oven, 10 cm at back and 5 cm on both sides. If one
side of the oven is placed flush to a wall, the other side or
top must not be blocked.
a) Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation,
the oven may overheat. If 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 or damp surface such as a
gas stove, electric range or sink etc.
c) Do not operate oven when room humidity is too high.
2. The surfaces of top, back and left side of the oven become hot
during operation. Do not allow the mains cable to come in
contact with the surface of the oven.
3. This oven was manufactured for household use only.
4. This oven may be built into a wall cabinet, if desired. This
microwave oven is designed and approved for use only with a
genuine Panasonic trim kit for Model number listed in the
operating instructions (page 105). Installation with any other
trim kit may void the warranty.
Circuit
Your microwave oven should be operated on a separate 10 A
circuit from other appliances. Failure to do this may cause the
power board fuse to blow, and/or food to cook slower. Do not
insert higher value fuse in the power board.
Fan Motor Operation
After using the oven, the fan may rotate to cool the electric
components. This is perfectly normal, and you can take food out
of the oven while the fan operates.
