IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SHOCK:
DO NOT
remove top or outer panel from oven. Repairs must be
done only by a qualified service person.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVE ENERGY:
DO NOT
tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to Door,
Control Panel Frame, Safety Interlock Switches, or any other part of
the oven. Microwave leakage may result.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF ARCING DAMAGE OR FIRE:
1.
DO NOT
operate the microwave oven empty,
cook small food
portions unattended
, or use metal containers. When using
the microwave oven without water or food,
or cook too small
a serving
, microwave energy cannot be absorbed and will
continuously reflect throughout the cavity. This will cause arcing
and damage the oven cavity, door or other components.
2.
DO NOT
store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the
oven.
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 AND BURNING:
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 flat table. The flat table can
also be very HOT after removing the cooking container from the
oven. The accessories will be hot after use.
Care in handling the Glass Tray, Wire Shelf, Enamel Shelf and
Wire Rack must be exercised.
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, which is more
than 36 inches (91.6 cm) height from the ground. 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 air flow.
Allow 6 inches (15 cm) of space on the top
of the oven, 4 inches (10 cm) at back and 2 inches (5 cm) on
both sides. If one side of the oven is placed flush to a wall,
the other side or top must not be blocked. Do not remove
feet.
(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, 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. 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.
3. Use of a non-Panasonic trim kit will void the Manufacturer’s
warranty for the Microwave oven.
