Panasonic nn-cd989s 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 immediately if oven is damaged. 
DO NOT install if oven is damaged.

1.  The oven must be placed on a flat, stable 

surface. Place the front surface of the door three 
inches or more from the counter top edge to 
avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven 
during normal use. For proper operation, the 
oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 3-inches 
(7.5 cm) of space on both sides of the oven and 
6-inches (15 cm) of space on top of the oven.
(a) DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked 

during operation, the oven may be overheated 
and 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 household use 

only. It is not approved or tested for mobile 
vehicle, marine, or commercial use.

3.  This oven may be built into a wall cabinet, if 

desired, by using the proper trim kit, which may 
be purchased from a local dealer. 
Follow all installation instructions packed with kit. 
(Trim Kit Model No. 

 see page 30)

CAUTION:
In the built-in application, air from the top of 
the trim kit's exhaust duct is very hot. Heat 
transfer may damage or change the color of 
the kitchen cabinet. Place the oven at least  
4-inches (10 cm) away from the kitchen cabinet.

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.

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 it is uncertain whether the appliance 
is properly grounded or not. 
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.

1.  A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce 

the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or 
tripping over a longer cord.

2.  Longer cord sets or extension cords are available 

and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3.  If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the 

marked electrical rating of the cord set or 
extension cord should be at least as great as the 
electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the 
extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire 
cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged 
so that it will not drape over the countertop or 
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or 
tripped over accidentally.

1.  The oven must be 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, or the 
food may cook slower than recommended in this 
manual.

2.  The VOLTAGE used must be the same as 

specified on this microwave oven (120 V). Using 
a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a 
fire or other accident causing oven damage. 
Using a lower voltage will cause slow cooking. 
Our company is NOT responsible for damage 
resulting from the use of the oven with other than 
specified voltage.

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

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. Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven 

(See Care of Your Microwave Oven found on 
page 26)

b. Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the 

microwave oven as far as possible.

c.  Use a properly installed antenna to obtain 

stronger signal reception.

After using the oven, the fan rotates to cool the 
electric components. This is perfectly normal, and 
you can take out the food from the oven while the fan 
operates.
