IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Installation and Grounding Instructions
Examine Your Oven
Unpack oven, remove all packing material and examine the oven
for any damage such as dents, broken door latches or cracks in the
door. Notify dealer immediately if oven is damaged.
DO NOT
install
if oven is damaged.
Placement of Oven
1. The oven must be placed
on a flat, stable surface.
Place the front surface of
the door 3 inches
(7.6 cm) 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 sufficient airflow. Allow
3 inches (7.6 cm) of space on both sides of the oven and 1 inch
(2.5 cm) of space on top of the oven.
(a)
DO NOT
block air vents. If they are blocked during
operation, the oven may overheat and be damaged.
(b)
DO NOT
place oven near a hot, damp surface such as a
gas or electric range, sink, or dishwasher.
(c)
DO NOT
operate oven when room humidity is excessive.
2. This oven is manufactured for household use only. It is not
approved or tested for mobile vehicle, marine, or commercial
use.
Installation
1.
DO NOT
block air vents. If they 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
until it has cooled.
2. The oven is designed for installation into a wall cabinet by using
the proper trim kit available from a local Panasonic dealer,
follow all instructions packed with the kit.
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. 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.
3.
DO NOT
dry clothes, newspapers or other
materials in the oven, or use newspaper or
paper bags for cooking.
4.
DO NOT
hit or strike Control Panel. Damage
to controls may occur.
5.
DO NOT
use recycled paper products
unless the paper product is labeled as safe for microwave oven
use. Recycled paper products may contain impurities, which may
cause sparking.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING:
POT HOLDERS should always be used when removing items from
the oven. Heat is transferred from
the HOT food to the cooking
container and from the container
to the Glass Tray. The Glass
Tray can also be very HOT after
removing the cooking container
from the oven.
Glass Tray
1.
DO NOT
operate the oven without the Roller Ring and the Glass
Tray in place.
2.
DO NOT
operate the oven without the Glass Tray fully engaged
on the drive hub. Improper cooking or damage to the oven
could result. Verify that the Glass Tray is properly engaged and
rotating by observing its rotation when you press
Start
.
Note:
The Glass Tray can turn in either direction.
3. Use only the Glass Tray specifically designed for this oven.
DO NOT
substitute any other Glass Tray.
4. If the Glass Tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing
in water.
5.
DO NOT
cook directly on the Glass Tray. Always place food in
a microwave safe dish, or on a rack set in a microwave safe dish.
6. If food or utensil on the Glass Tray touches oven walls, causing
the tray to stop moving, the tray will automatically rotate in the
opposite direction.
Roller Ring
1. The Roller Ring and oven floor should be cleaned frequently to
prevent excessive noise.
2. Always replace the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in their proper
positions.
3. The Roller Ring must always be used for cooking along with the
Glass Tray.
