Questions and Answers
Building-in Your Oven
Q My microwave oven causes
interference with my TV, is this
normal?
A Some radio and TV interference
might occur when you cook with
the microwave oven. This
interference is similar to the
interference caused by small
appliances such as mixers,
vacuums, hair dryers, etc. It does
not indicate a problem with your
oven.
Q Sometimes warm air comes from
the oven vents. Why?
A The heat given off from the
cooking food warms the air in the
oven cavity. This warmed air is
carried out of the oven by the air
flow pattern in the oven. There
isn’t an airtight seal to the air
therefore steam can escape. There
are no microwaves in the air, or
steam. The oven vents should
never be blocked during cooking.
Q My oven has an odour and
generates smoke when using the
CONVECTION, COMBINATION
and GRILL function. Why?
A It is essential that your oven is
wiped out regularly particularly
after cooking by COMBINATION or
GRILL. Any fat and grease that
builds up will begin to smoke if not
cleaned.
1. In case of fitting into an oven housing, please use Panasonic’s Trim Kit
NN-TKA80W - White
NN-TKA80M - Metallic Silver
2. Microwave ovens should not be built into a unit directly above a top front
venting conventional cooker. This will invalidate your one year guarantee.
3. A microwave which is built in must be more than 850 mm above floor level.
Read Trim-Kit instructions carefully before installation.
It is recommended that the microwave oven is placed below a conventional
oven to avoid heat damage to the facia of the microwave.
However if it is necessary to install the microwave above, then a gap of at
least 15 cm (6 inches) is required from the top of the conventional oven cas-
ing to the bottom of the microwave oven casing.
