Grounding Instructions
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
•
Plug into properly installed and grounded three-prong
outlet.
•
DO NOT
remove ground prong.
•
DO NOT
use an adapter.
Power Supply
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming 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 three-wire
cord, and
(3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
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.

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
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 a 20 AMP,
120 VOLT, 60 Hz
GROUNDED OUTLET.
(Beginning in 2017, all
new construction
and all renovated single family homes
must have at least a
20 A, 120 VOLT, 60 Hz GROUNDED
OUTLET).
Where a standard two prong outlet is encountered, consult with
a qualified electrician to have outlet replaced with a 20A, 120 Volt,
60 Hz outlet grounded in accordance with CEC and local regulations.
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 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.
(1) Increase the spacing distance between the microwave oven and
other product receiving the interference.
(2) If possible, use a properly installed receiver antenna and/or
reorient the receiving antenna of the other product receiving
the interference.
(3) Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet from the other
product receiving the interference.
(4) 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 cooktop operating conditions. This is normal. 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 25, to maintain adequate venting and avoid grease fires.
5. To protect the automatic fan feature, always keep the filter clean
(see page 25). 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 the air exhaust must be recirculated by this unit inside the
kitchen, a charcoal filter must be used. A charcoal filter has been
installed for your convenience. However, we recommend that
this filter be changed as soon as possible with the replacement
charcoal filter kit (NN-CF138) that can be purchased from your local
Panasonic dealer.
