Panasonic NE-3280 - Manual (Page 4)

Installation and INSTRUCTIONS
Ptacement 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 electrically 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. 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.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord
is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman
install an outlet near the appliance.
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
1 .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 produce
lower power output or blow the fuse.
2. The microwave ovens are built to operate on 2
different voltages (220-240 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.
For Model NE-3280/NE-2180
This oven must be on a separate 60 Hz
GROUNDED CIRCUIT - minimum 30 amps.

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, this could damage the oven and
result in the danger of a fire.
3. If a fire occurs in the oven, press the Stop/Clear
time 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.

Do NOT use newspapers or paper bags for
cooking.
Do NOT hit or strike the controi panei. Damage to
controls may occur.
POT HOLDERS may be needed when removing
food from the oven. Heat is transferred from the
hot food to the container.
Do NOT store flammable materials next to, on top
of, or in the oven. It is a fire hazard.
Do NOT slide the removable middle shelf in or out
when placing or removing food. This action could
cause damage to the shelf or cause hot food to tip
towards the operator.
Do NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or any
other non - food products. Do NOT clean this oven
with any product that is labeled as containing
corrosive chemicals. Heating of corrosive
chemicals in this oven can cause microwave
radiation ieaks.
