Examine Your Oven
Unpack oven, remove all packing material, and
examine the oven for any damage 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 Oven
1. Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. For
proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air
flow. Allow 3 inches of space on both sides of the
oven and 1 inch of space on top of oven.
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 damp surface
such as a gas or electric range.
c. Do NOT operate oven when room humidity is too
high
2. This Buen 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 Panasonic dealer.
Follow all installation instructions packed with kit.
See page 20 for Technical Specifications.
Wiking Requirements
. 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.
2. A TEMPORARY CONNECTION with a two-prong
adaptor may be made where LOCAL CODES
PERMIT it. Unless the cover screw is grounded
through the house wiring, attaching the adaptor
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.
3. The oven must be ona 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 times recommended in
cookbook.
4. The VOLTAGE used must be the same as specified
on this microwave oven (120 V).
Using a higher voitage 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.
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 itis 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.
poet Supply
. Ashort 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 along 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.
Radio Interference
1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause
interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or
eliminated by taking the following measures:
a. Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven.
(See Care of Your Microwave/Convection Oven
found on page 19.)
b. Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the
microwave oven as far as possible.
c. Use a properly installed antenna to obtain
stronger signal reception.
