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. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface, which is 36" (91.6 cm) height from the ground. Place the front
surface of the door three inches or more from the counter top edge to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave
oven during normal use. For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 6" (15 cm) of space
on the top of the oven, 4" (10 cm) at the back, 2" (5 cm) on the left and the other side being open. If one
side of the oven is placed flush against wall, the other side or the top must not be blocked. Do not remove
the bottom feet from the oven.
(a) DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat and be damaged. Also
allow sufficient space on back and both sides of the oven.
(b) DO NOT place oven near a hot, damp surface such as a gas or electric range, or dishwasher.
(c) DO NOT operate oven when room humidity is excessive.
2. This oven is manufactured for household use only. It is not approved or tested for mobile vehicle, marine, or
commercial use.
Installation
1. 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.
2. If the oven is designed for installation into a wall cabinet, use the proper trim kit available from a local Panasonic
dealer. Follow all instructions packed with the kit.
— 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 it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three
wire extension cord that has a three-prong polarized grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug of the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of
the appliance.
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.
• Plug into properly installed and grounded 3-prong outlet.
• DO NOT remove ground prong.
• DO NOT use an adapter.
