We are glad you have chosen to purchase a PANASONIC microwave/convection oven.

Before operating this oven, please read these instructions completely.

If you have only used a Microwave oven for reheating and defrosting, with Panasonic’s Inverter Technology, you can be reassured of excellent results when cooking a variety of foods, as the ‘soft’ penetration of microwave energy to the centre of food helps prevent overcooking on edges and surfaces. Foods can now be gently simmered without the concern of boil over.

You also have the added advantage of cooking with either convection or grill to achieve perfect browning and crisping of foods. Combination allows you to cook with speed as well as browning at the same time.

After reading the introductory chapter, I am sure you will be able to master the basic technique and thereby develop a firm understanding of your new oven. This book includes recipes from starters to desserts.

Start experimenting now, and enjoy the first class results you will achieve by using your new microwave/convection oven.

Before Operation

Installation and Earthing Instructions

(continuance)

Earthing Instructions

This microwave oven must be earthed.. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.. This microwave oven is equipped with a cord having an earthing wire with an earthing plug.. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed..

WARNING - Improper use of the earthing plug can result in a risk of electric shock..

Circuit

Your microwave oven should be operated on a separate 10 A circuit 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..

Fan Motor Operation

After using the oven, the fan rotates to cool the electric components.. Do not switch the electricity off for 5 minutes after using the oven.. This continuance of fan operation is perfectly normal, and you can take out the food from the oven while the fan operates..

General Instructions

General Use

1.In order to maintain high quality, do not operate the oven when empty.. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy..

2.Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven.. They may catch on fire..

3.Do not use recycled paper products, unless the paper product is labelled as safe for microwave oven use.. Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used..

4.Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking..

5.Do not hit or strike control panel.. Damage to controls may occur..

6.POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from food is transferred to the cooking container and from the container to Ceramic Tray.. The tray can be very hot after removing the cooking container from the oven..

7.Do not store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven.. It could be a fire hazard..

8.Do not cook food directly on Ceramic Tray unless indicated in recipes.. (Food should be placed in a suitable cooking utensil..)

9.Do NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food products.. Do NOT clean this oven with any product that is labeled as containing corrosive chemicals.. The heating of corrosive chemicals in this oven may cause microwave radiation leaks.

10.When using the COMBINATION mode, never place any aluminum or metal container directly on the wire rack.. Always insert a heatproof, glass plate or dish between the wire rack and the aluminum container.. This will prevent sparking that may damage the oven..

11.It is recommended not to use the wire rack when cooking in the MICROWAVE mode only..

- -

12..If ceramic tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water..

Food

1.Do not use your oven for home canning or the heating of any closed jar.. Pressure will build up 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..

2.Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven..

3.Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash, chicken wing and sausages are examples of foods with non porous skins.. This type of food must be pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting..

4.When heating liquids, e..g.. soup, sauces and beverages in your microwave oven, overheating the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling.. This could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.. To prevent this possibility the following steps should be taken:

a)Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks..

b)Do not overheat..

c)Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through cooking time..

d)After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container..

5.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.

Alternatively, a conventional meat thermometer may be used after the food is removed from the oven.. If undercooked, return meat or poultry to the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the

recommended power level.. It is important to ensure that meat and poultry are thoroughly cooked..

General Instructions

6.COOKING TIMES given in the cookbook section are APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect cooking time are preferred degree of cooking, 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..

7.It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further cooking.. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done.. Always start with minimum cooking times recommended..

8.Extreme care should be taken when cooking popcorn.. Cook for minimum time as recommended by manufacturer.. Use the directions suitable for the wattage of your oven.. NEVER leave oven unattended when popping popcorn..

9.Take care when heating food in foil trays.. Trays should be no deeper than 2 cm and should not touch the sides of the oven walls.. If you are unsure of the heating time, do not leave the oven unattended..

Microwaves and How They Work

Operation Before

Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves similar to those used by a radio, including AM, FM and CB..

Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube (which is the heart of the microwave oven)..

From the magnetron tube, microwave energy is transmitted to the oven cavity.. The microwaves are converted to heat in the food.. The microwaves enter from the outside of the food and travel through the food.. Continued cooking to the centre occurs by conduction..

Although pacemakers used to be affected by microwaves (as well as by other radio waves), they are now shielded and are not bothered by these interferences.. This allows people with pacemakers to sit calmly by their radio or television and cook with microwave ovens..

When the microwaves come in contact with a substance, any one or a combination of three things may occur.. They can be:

1..REFLECTED

2..TRANSMITTED

3..ABSORBED

Reflection

Metal substances REFLECT microwave energy because there is no absorption and there is no heating.. This is why the oven interior is either stainless steel or paint-coated steel.. This ensures that the microwaves are kept inside the cavity and evenly distributed throughout the food with the help of the turntable..

Transmission

Such substances as paper, glass and plastic TRANSMIT microwave energy and do not become hot except from food.. Because these substances do not reflect or absorb microwave energy, they are ideal materials for microwave cooking containers..

Absorption

Food contains moisture and will ABSORB microwave energy, which causes the moisture molecules within the food to vibrate at an incredible rate (2,450,000,000 times per second).. Friction, created by vibration, produces heat energy which is conducted throughout the food..

Cookware and Utensil Guide

Before Operation

It is important to use correct containers when cooking in a microwave oven.. The following will help you to make the right selection..

How to Test a Container for Safe Microwave Oven Use

Fill a 1-cup glass measure with water and place it in the microwave oven along with the container to be tested; heat one minute on HIGH.. If the container is microwave oven safe, it should remain comfortably cool and the water should be hot.. If the container becomes very hot, it has absorbed some microwave energy and should not be used.. This test cannot be used for plastic containers..

Paper Products and Freezer Wrap

Waxed paper, paper plates, cups and napkins should not be used for heating or cooking food by Convection, Combination and Grill.. Freezer wrap should not be used as it is not heat resistant and may melt.. Paper towels, greaseproof paper and bake paper may be safely used for short periods of time for covering or lining..

Glass, Ceramic and China

Heat-Resistant glass cookware is invaluable in microwave cooking.. Many of these items are readily available in most homes: glass jugs, mixing bowls, loaf dishes, covered casseroles, oblong baking dishes, pie plates and round or square cake dishes.. Examples of this type of cookware are Pyrex® and Corningware®..

Dinnerware can be used for microwave heating.. Many brands of dinnerware are microwave safe.. Check the care information for reference to microwave use for dinnerware and serving pieces.. If dinnerware is marked ovenproof, it frequently is safe to use in the microwave oven.. However, to be sure, check by conducting a microwave dish test..

Several types of glassware and dinnerware are not recommended for use in the Microwave Oven.. Do not use dishes with metallic trim or containers with metal parts.. Do not use cups or mugs with glued on handles, as they may fall off with continued heating.. Do not use delicate glassware.. Although the glassware may be transparent to microwave energy the heat from the food may cause the glassware to crack..

Plastics

Plastic dishes, cups and some freezer containers should be used with care in a microwave oven.. Choose plastic containers carefully, as some plastic containers may become soft, melt and scorch..

The majority of plastic dishes, even those designed for use in the microwave oven, are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat or sugar content, or for lengthy cooking time.. Most microwave plastic dishes should not be used for longer than 3 to 5 minutes on HIGH power.. These dishes, although not suitable for extended cooking, may be successfully used for defrosting or for use on lower power levels.. Cooking Bags designed to withstand boiling, freezing, or conventional heating are microwave safe.. Prepare bags according to manufacturers' directions.. When cooking by microwave, DO NOT use wire twist-ties to close bag.. They can act as an antenna and cause arcing (sparks)..

DO NOT COOK IN PLASTIC FOOD STORAGE BAGS..

Plastic Wrap such as GLAD WRAP® can be used to cover dishes in most recipes.. Over an extended heating time, some disfiguration of the wrap may occur.. When removing plastic wrap "covers" as well as any glass lid be careful to remove it away from you to avoid steam burns..

Loosen plastic but let dish stand covered..

Browning Dishes

NOTE: Browning dishes are no longer available.. This information is supplied to assist people who already own a browning dish..

Browning dishes are used to sear chops, meat patties, steaks etc.. A special coating on the bottom of the dish absorbs the microwave energy and becomes very hot.. When foods are added to the dish, the result is a seared effect.. Preheat the dish according to the manufacturers' directions.. Add food to be seared and heat according to recipe or personal preference.. Use pot holders to remove the dish from the Microwave Oven.. Do not use the browning dish on or in a conventional stove..

Remember:

Food can be covered with a loose sheet of absorbent towel to prevent splattering..

Do not attempt to deep fry in the browning dish or microwave oven as you cannot control the temperature of the oil..

Cookware and Utensil Guide

Metal

Metal cookware or utensils, and those with metallic trim, should NOT be used on microwave.. Since microwave energy is reflected by metal, foods in metal containers will not cook evenly.. There is also the possibility of "arcing".. Although metal utensils must be avoided in microwave cooking, some metal can be helpful when used correctly.. Aluminium foil can be used safely, if certain guidelines are followed, to prevent overcooking.. Small pieces of foil are used to cover areas such as chicken wings, tips of roasts, or other thin parts that cook before the rest of the recipe is finished.. Make sure foil is attached securely and doesn't touch sides of oven; otherwise arcing may occur.. Foil lined containers, either cardboard or plastic, should NOT be used in the microwave oven as arcing could occur..

Metal twist-ties, either paper or plastic coated, should NOT be used on Microwave or Combination..

Frozen dinner trays can be used on Microwave if the container is no deeper than 2 cm and is filled with food.. They may be used on Convection..

Metal skewers can not be used on Microwave as arcing may occur.. Wooden skewers are readily available and give the same result..

Shells: Scalloped baking shells are best used during reheating and for short periods of cooking time only.. Thermometers are available for use in microwave ovens.. DO NOT USE CONVENTIONAL MERCURY TYPE CANDY OR MEAT THERMOMETERS in

food while cooking in the microwave oven or on Combination..

Jars and Bottles

Jars and Bottles can be used to warm food to serving temperature, if the lid is removed first.. Cooking should not be done in these containers since most are not heat resistant and during extended heating times, heat from food would cause cracking or breaking..

Straw, Wicker, and Wood

Straw and wicker baskets may be used in the microwave oven for a short period of time to warm rolls or bread.. Large wooden utensils, such as bowls or cutting boards should NOT be used for prolonged heating as the microwave energy may cause the wood to become dry and brittle..
