INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
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. 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.
• 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 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,
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
Wiring Requirements
1. 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.
2. The oven must be plugged into a 15 AMP or 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, it is the responsibility and obligation of the
consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet.
3. 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.
TV / RADIO / WIRELESS EQUIPMENT INTERFERENCE
This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Microwave Oven. This product
can radiate radio frequency energy, which could cause interference to such products as radio, TV,
baby monitor, cordless phone, Bluetooth, wireless router, etc., which can be confi rmed by turning
this product off and on. If present, the user is encouraged to try to correct by taking one or more of
the following countermeasures:
(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)
