Placement of Your Oven

1.Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow to the air vents i.e. 5 cm (2 inches) at the side and rear; 20 cm (8 inches) at the top.

2.Do not place the microwave oven on a shelf directly above a gas or electric hob. This may be a safety hazard and the oven may be damaged.

It is dangerous to position this oven on a shelf which is so high that food cannot be safely removed by the user. The oven may be stacked. (see page 17)

3.Do not block air vents on the rear and bottom of the cabinet. If air vents 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 with blank display until it has cooled.

4. Do not use the oven outdoors.

Using Your Oven

1.This oven must not be operated without food in the oven. Operation when empty will damage the appliance.

2.Children should be kept away from the oven at all times and should only be allowed to operate the oven under supervision.

3.Storage of accessories. Do not store any objects inside the oven in case it is

accidentally turned on. In case of electronic failure, the oven can be turned off at wall socket.

4.Do not dry fabrics in the oven since there is a possibility of the clothes burning if left in the oven for too long.

5.If smoke is observed, press the Stop/Reset Pad or turn the Timer Dial back to zero “0” position and leave the door closed. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Maintenance of Your Oven

1.WHEN YOUR OVEN REQUIRES A SERVICE call your local Panasonic engineer (08701-591590) for service. It is dangerous for anyone other than a service technician trained by the manufacturer to perform repair service. Do not attempt to remove the outer casing of the oven.

2.Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to the door, control panel housing, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven. Do not remove outer panel from the oven. The door seals and door seal areas should always be kept clean –– use a damp cloth.

3.The oven lamp must be replaced by a service technician trained by the manufacturer. DO NOT attempt to remove the outer casing from the oven.
