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.
Power Supply
1. A short 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 may be used if care is exercised in their use. DO NOT let cord hang over
edge of a table or counter.
3. If a long 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 counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
accidentally.
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.
2. The oven must be plugged into at least a 20 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.
3. 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 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.
TV / 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) Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the microwave oven as far as possible.
(b) Use a properly installed antenna to obtain stronger signal reception.
(c) Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven. (See Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven)
Fan Motor Operation
After using the oven repeatedly or for long time, the fan may operate to cool the electric components. This is perfectly
normal, and you can take out the food from the oven while the fan operates.
It is recommended to keep the oven plugged in until the Fan Motor completely stops operating.
Oven Light
When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult Panasonic for the nearest authorized service
center for examination or repair. Contact information is provided in the Customer Services Directory page 41.
