1. Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. For

proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air
flow to the air vents i.e. 5 cm (2 inches) at the side
and rear; 20 cm (8 inches) at the top.

2. Do not place the microwave oven on a shelf

directly above a gas or electric hob. This may be a
safety hazard and the oven may be damaged.
It is dangerous to position this oven on a shelf
which is so high that food cannot be safely
removed by the user. The oven may be stacked.
(see page 17)

3. Do not block air vents on the rear and bottom of

the cabinet. If air vents are blocked during
operation, the oven may overheat. If the oven
overheats, a thermal safety device will turn the
oven off. The oven will remain inoperable with
blank display until it has cooled.

4. Do not use the oven outdoors.

1. This oven must not be operated without food in

the oven. Operation when empty will damage the
appliance.

2. Children should be kept

away from the oven at all
times and should only be
allowed to operate the oven
under supervision.

3. Storage of accessories. Do

not store any objects inside
the oven in case it is
accidentally turned on. In case of electronic
failure, the oven can be turned off at wall socket.

4. Do not dry fabrics in the oven since there is a

possibility of the clothes burning if left in the oven
for too long.

5. If smoke is observed, press the Stop/Reset Pad

or turn the Timer Dial back to zero “0” position
and leave the door closed. Disconnect the power
cord, or shut off the power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.

1. WHEN YOUR OVEN REQUIRES A SERVICE call

your local Panasonic engineer (08701-591590) for
service. It is dangerous for anyone other than a
service technician trained by the manufacturer to
perform repair service. Do not attempt to remove
the outer casing of the oven.

2. Do not attempt to tamper with or make any

adjustments or repairs to the door, control panel
housing, safety interlock switches or any other
part of the oven. Do not remove outer panel
from the oven. 
The door seals and door seal
areas should always be kept clean –– use a damp
cloth.

3. The oven lamp must be replaced by a service

technician trained by the manufacturer. DO NOT
attempt to remove the outer casing from the oven.
