Panasonic NNSN973S User Manual

Unpack oven, remove all packing material and examine the oven for any damage 

such as dents, broken door latches or cracks in the door. Notify dealer immedi-

ately if oven is damaged. 

DO NOT install if oven is damaged.

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 suffi 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.

(a) DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may 

overheat and be damaged.

(b) DO NOT place oven near a hot, damp surface such as a gas or electric 

range, or dishwasher.

(c) DO NOT operate oven when room humidity is excessive.

2. This oven is manufactured for counter top household use only, installed 916 

mm (36 inches) or higher above fl oor level. It is not intended for built-in opera-

tion and is not approved or tested for mobile vehicle, marine, or commercial 

use.

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.

Consult a qualifi 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.

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED. In the event of an electrical short cir-

cuit, 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.
