Installation and GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Placement of the Oven

Locate the oven on a smooth, flat and stable surface. There should be no gap between the table surface and the bottom of the oven. Do not place the oven in a hot or damp area, ie. near a stove, sink or directly above heat lamps on a serving line. Free airflow around the oven is important. There is a possibility of a small amount of interference with weak broadcast signals if the microwave oven is too close to a radio or TV.

Grounding Instructions

This oven must be grounded electrically. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The 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.

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 connected.

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that has a three blade 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 electical rating of the oven.

Removal of Protective Film

A blue protective film is used to prevent scratching of the outer case during transportation. Peel the film from the exterior of the oven before installation or use.

Wiring Requirements

No other appliance should share the circuit with the microwave oven. If it does, the branch circuit fuse may overload and either cause the oven to heat slower than

expected or blow the fuse.

A. For Model NE-1257/NE-1258

The oven must be on a SEPARATE, 20 amp, 60 Hz-120 V GROUNDED CIRCUIT.

B. For Models NE-1757/NE-2157

1.This oven must be on a separate, 60 Hz GROUNDED CIRCUIT - minimum 15 amps for NE-1757; minimum 20 amps for NE-2157.

2.The microwave ovens are built to operate on 2 different voltages (230-240 V or 208 V). Be sure that the voltage selector connector (on the back of the oven) is set for your power supply (see page 5). Using a higher voltage setting is dangerous and may result in overheating of the electrical components thus shortening their life expectancy or possibly causing a fire or other accident. Using a lower voltage will lower the power output of the oven, resulting in slower heating of the food. Panasonic is NOT responsible for damage resulting from the use of the oven with other than the specified voltage.

Caution

 1. 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 the outer panel of the oven. Repairs should only be done by a qualified service person.

 2. Do NOT operate the oven empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy.

 3. If a fire occurs in the oven, press the Stop/Reset Pad and LEAVE THE DOOR CLOSED. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

 4. Do NOT attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven, as they may catch on fire.

 5. Do NOT use recycled paper products, as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires.

 6. Do NOT use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.

 7. Do NOT hit or strike the control panel. Damage to controls may occur.

 8. POT HOLDERS may be needed when removing food from the oven. Heat is transferred from the hot food to the container.

 9. Do NOT store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard.

10.Do NOT operate the oven without the spatter shields (located in the top of inner cavity) in place.
