Safety Precautions; Grounding Instructions - Panasonic NU-HX100S Owner's Manual

WARNING
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SHOCK:
DO NOT remove outer panel
from oven. DO NOT tamper
with, or make any adjustments
or repairs to the oven door,
the control panel frame, safety
interlock switches, or any other
part of oven. Repairs must be
done only by a qualified service person.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE:
1. DO NOT store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in
the oven.
2. DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or
other materials in the oven, or use
newspaper or paper bags for cooking.
3. DO NOT hit or strike the control panel.
Damage to controls may occur.
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 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 of the appliance. The
marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

Grounding Instructions

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.
Plug into properly installed and grounded three-prong
•
outlet.
DO NOT remove ground prong.
•
• DO NOT use an adapter.

Safety Precautions

4. DO NOT use recycled paper products unless the paper
product is labeled as safe for oven use. Recycled paper
products may contain impurities, which may cause fire.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING:
1. OVEN GLOVES should always be used when removing items
from the oven. See page 9 for more information. Heat is
transferred from the Grill Pan to the cooking food and the
Oven Cavity Floor. The Oven Cavity Floor can also be very
HOT after removing the Grill Pan or cooking container from
the oven.
2. Please use caution when touching accessible parts when
oven is operated in Bake,
Grill, Combo, Broil or
Auto feature, because
the accessible parts may
become extremely hot.
Grounding Instructions
Power Supply
1. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply
cord) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. The 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 unintentionally.
3. The use of extension cords is not recommended.
Wiring Requirements
1. The oven must be operated on a SEPARATE CIRCUIT. No
other appliance should share the circuit with the oven. If it
does, the branch circuit fuse may blow or the circuit breaker
may trip.
2. The oven must be plugged into a 15 AMP or 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.
3. The VOLTAGE used must be the same as specified on this
oven (120 V, 60 Hz). Using a higher voltage is dangerous 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.
