or g doubt exists as to whether the appliance is proper-
ly grounded. Itit 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 rat-
ing of the extension cord should beequal to or greater
than the electrical rating of the appliance.
Power Supply

hsks resulting from becoming entangled inor tripping
over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available
and may be used if careis exerdsed in theiruse
3 Ifa long cord or extension cord is used, (1)the
marked electrical ratingof the cord set orextension
cord should be atleastas great as the electrical rat-
ing of the appliance, (2)the extension cord must be
a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the tonger cord
should be arranged so that itwill not drape over the

higher voltage is dangerous and may result ina fire
or other incidentcausing oven damage. Using a
lower voltage will cause slow cooking. Panasonie is
NOT responsible for damage resulting from the use
of the oven with other than the specified voltage.
3 The oven must be plugged into at leasta 20AMP,
120 VOLT,60 Hz GROUNDED OUTLET. Where a
