INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Power supply
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becom-
ing 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. 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
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 personal 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 specifi ed on this microwave oven (120 V, 60 Hz). Us-
ing a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fi re 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 specifi ed.
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)
