install if oven is damaged.
Placement of Oven
1. The oven must be placed on a
fl
at, stable surface. Place the front surface of
the door 3 inches (7.6 cm) or more from the counter top edge to avoid acci-
dental tipping of the microwave oven during normal use. For proper operation,
the oven must have suf
fi
cient air
fl
ow. Allow 3 inches (7.6 cm) of space on both
sides of the oven and 2 inches (5 cm) of space on top of the oven.

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 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 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 on 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.
