Installation and Grounding Instructions

Examine Your Oven
Unpack oven, remove all packing material, and
examine the oven for any damages 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.
Placement of Your Oven
1. Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. For
proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air
flow. Allow 7.6 cm (3-inches) of space on both
sides of the oven and 2.5 cm (1-inche) of space on
top of oven.
a. Do not block air vents.
If they are blocked during operation, the oven
may be overheated and damaged. When using
any cloth over the oven, the air intake and
exhaust should not be blocked. Allow proper
space on back and both sides of oven.
b. DO NOT place the oven near a hot, damp
surface such as a gas or electric range, or
dishwasher.
c. DO NOT operate the oven when room humidity
is too high.
2. This oven was manufactured for household use
only.
3. This oven may be built into a wall cabinet, if
desired, by using the proper trim kit, which may be
purchased from a local dealer. Follow all installation
instructions packed with the kit.
Installation for Trim Kit

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
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.
Wiring Requirements
1. The oven must be operated 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 take longer to cook than the
times recommended in this manual.
2. The VOLTAGE used must be the same as
specified on this microwave oven (120 V, 60 Hz).
Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result
in a fire or another incident causing oven damage.
Using a lower voltage will cause slow cooking.
Panasonic is NOT responsible for any damages
resulting from the use of the oven with any voltage
other than specified.
3. The oven must be plugged into at least a 15 AMP,
120 VOLT, 60 Hz 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 properly grounded
three-prong outlet.
