INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Wiring Requirements
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. 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 per-
sonal responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet. The
VOLTAGE used must be the same as specified on this microwave oven (120 V, 60 Hz). Using a higher voltage is dan-
gerous 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. as far away from the microwave oven 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)
The Hood
1.The vent fan in your oven will operate automatically under certain conditions. Caution is required to prevent the
starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in operation.
2.Never leave surface units unattended at high heat setting. Boil over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite and spread if vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized utensils and use
high heat settings only when necessary.
3.In the event of a grease fire, smother flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray.
4.Keep hood and grease filters clean, according to instructions on page 26, to maintain adequate venting and avoid
grease fires.
5.To protect the automatic fan feature, always keep the filter clean (see page 26). Should the fan require repair, do
not operate microwave oven until it has been repaired.
Indoor Venting
If this appliance is to be vented inside the kitchen, be sure the charcoal filter kit is installed in the unit before you
operate. Additional replacement charcoal filter kits can be purchased from your local Panasonic dealer when needed
(see page 25).
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 may remove the food from the oven while the fan operates.
