INSTALLATION & GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
WARNING
—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.
Wiring Requirements
1. The oven must be on a SEPARATE CIRCUIT. No
other appliance should share the circuit with the
microwave oven. If it does, the branch circuit fuse
may blow, the circuit breaker may trip, or the food
may cook slower than the times recommended in this
manual.
2. 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 other incident causing oven damage. Using a lower
voltage will cause slow cooking. Panasonic is NOT
responsible for damages resulting from the use of the
oven with any voltage other than specified.
3. 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.
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) Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven. (See
Care of Your Microwave Oven)
(b) Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the microwave
oven as far as possible.
(c) Use a properly installed antenna to obtain stronger
signal reception.
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 27, to maintain adequate venting
and avoid grease fires.
5. To protect the automatic fan feature, always keep the
filter clean (see page 27). Should the fan require
repair, do not operate microwave oven until it has
been repaired.
6. Charcoal filter should be replaced periodically. It may
be purchased from a local Panasonic dealer.
Indoor Venting
If this appliance is to be vented inside the kitchen, an
optional charcoal filter kit (NN-CF208P) should be
installed in the unit before you operate it. Additional
charcoal filter kits can be purchased from your local
Panasonic dealer.
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.
