Placement of Oven
1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface.
For correct operation, the oven must have
sufficient air flow. Allow 10 cm of space at back,
5 cm on both sides and on top of oven. Do not
remove feet.
a. 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.
b. Do not place oven near a hot or damp surface
such as a gas stove, electric range or sink ete.
c. Do not operate oven when room humidity is too
high.
. This oven was manufactured for household use
only.
- These ovens except for NN-5750/5700/5550/
5350/5250 may be built into a wal! cabinet, if
desired. Trim kits may be purchased from a local
Panasonic dealer. See page 8 for technical
specifications.

and the jar may explode. In addition, the
microwave
oven
cannot
maintain
the
food
at
the
correct
canning
temperature.
Improperly
canned
food
may
spoil
and
be
dangerous
to
consume.

. DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT
THERMOMETER
IN
THE
MICROWAVE
OVEN.
To check the degree of cooking of roasts and
poultry use a MICROWAVE THERMOMETER.

APPROXIMATE.
Factors
that
may
affect
cooking
time are preferred degree of moisture content,
starting temperature, altitude, volume, size, shape
of food and utensils used. As you become familiar
with the oven, you will be able to adjust for these
factors.

a separate 230~240 V 10 A circuits from other
appliances. Failure to do this may cause the power
board fuse to blow, and/or food to cook slower.
Do not insert higher value fuse in the power board.
