Panasonic NN-SD297 INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

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. The oven must be plugged into at least

a 20 AMP, 120 VOLT, 60 Hz GROUNDED OUTLET. Where a standard two-prong outlet is encountered, it is the per-

sonal responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet. The

VOLTAGE used must be the same as specified on this microwave oven (120 V, 60 Hz). Using a higher voltage is dan-

gerous 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.

1.Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment.

2.When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:

(a) Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the microwave oven as far as possible.

(b) Use a properly installed antenna to obtain stronger signal reception.

1.The vent fan in your oven will operate automatically under certain conditions. Caution is required to prevent the

starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in operation.

2.Never leave surface units unattended at high heat setting. Boil over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may

ignite and spread if vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized utensils and use

high heat settings only when necessary.

3.In the event of a grease fire, smother flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid,

cookie sheet or flat tray.

4.Keep hood and grease filters clean, according to instructions on page 26, to maintain adequate venting and avoid

grease fires.

5.To protect the automatic fan feature, always keep the filter clean (see page 26). Should the fan require repair, do

not operate microwave oven until it has been repaired.

If this appliance is to be vented inside the kitchen, be sure the charcoal filter kit is installed in the unit before you

operate. Additional replacement charcoal filter kits can be purchased from your local Panasonic dealer when needed

(see page 25).

After using the oven repeatedly or for long time, the fan may operate to cool the electric components. This is perfectly

normal, and you can take out the food from the oven while the fan operates.
