Placement of Oven
1. The oven must be placed on a
fl
at, stable surface, which is 91.6 cm (36”) height from the ground. Place the front surface of the
door three inches or more from the counter top edge to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven during normal use. For
proper operation, the oven must have suf
fi
cient air
fl
ow.
Allow 15 cm (6”) of space on the top of the oven, 10 cm (4”) at the
back, 5 cm (2”) on the left and the other side being open. If one side of the oven is placed
fl
ush against wall, the other
side or the top must not be blocked. Do not remove the bottom feet from the oven.

safety device will turn the oven off. The oven will remain inoperable until it has cooled.
2. If the oven is designed for installation into a wall cabinet, only use the proper Panasonic trim kit available from a local
Panasonic dealer, or online from the Panasonic Canada eStore. Follow all instructions packed with the trim kit.

WARNING
—
IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING PLUG CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Consult a quali
fi
ed electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire
extension cord that has a three-prong polarized grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle that will accept the plug of the
appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
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.
• Plug into properly installed and grounded 3-prong outlet.
• DO NOT remove ground prong.
