For Your Safety

-3-

1. Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. For proper
operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow to the air vents
i.e. 5cm/2'' at one side, the other being open; 15cm/6'' clear over
the top; 10cm/4'' at the rear.

2. Do not place the microwave oven on a shelf directly above a gas
or electric hob. This may be a safety hazard and the oven may be
damaged. It is dangerous to position the oven on a shelf which is
so high that food cannot be safely removed by the user. If a shelf
is used in a suitable position, ensure that it is capable of
supporting the weight of the oven.

3. Do not block air vents on the rear and bottom or top of the
cabinet. If air vents 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 with blank display
until it has cooled.

4. Do not use outdoors.

Placement of your oven



1. This oven must not be operated without food in the
oven. Operation when empty will damage the
appliance.

2. Children should be kept away from the oven
at all times and should only be allowed to
operate the oven under supervision. Only
allow children to use oven without
supervision when adequate
instructions have been given so that
the child is able to use the oven in
a safe way and understands the
hazrds of improper use.

3. Storage of accessories. Do not store any objects other than oven
accessories inside the oven in case it is accidentally turned on. In
case of electronic failure, the oven can be turned off at the wall
socket.

4. Do not dry fabrics in the oven since there is a possibility of the
clothes burning if left in the oven for too long.

5. If smoke is observed, press the Stop/Cancel Pad and leave the
door closed. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power at
the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Using your oven

1. Service
WHEN YOUR OVEN REQUIRES A SERVICE call your local
Panasonic engineer (08701-591590) for service. It is dangerous

for anyone other than a service technician trained by the
manufacturer to perform repair service, which involves the
removal of any cover which gives protection against exposure
to microwave energy. Do not attempt to remove the outer casing

of the oven.

2. Door Seals
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 outer panel from the
oven. The door seals and door seal areas should always be kept
clean – use a damp cloth. If the door or door seals are

damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been
repaired by a skilled person.

3. Oven Light
The oven lamp must be replaced by a service technician trained
by the manufacturer. DO NOT attempt to remove the outer casing
from the oven.

Maintenance of your oven

Short Cooking Times

As microwave cooking times are much shorter than other cooking
methods it is essential that recommended cooking times are not
exceeded without first checking the food.

Factors that may affect cooking times are: preferred degree of cooking,
starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of foods and
utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to
adjust these factors.

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.

IMPORTANT.

If the recommended cooking times are exceeded the food will be

spoiled and in extreme circumstances could catch fire and

possibly damage the interior of the oven.

1. Small quantities of food.
Take care when heating small quantities of food as these can
easily burn, dry out or catch fire if cooked too long. Always set
short cooking times and check the food frequently.

N.B. If materials inside the oven should ignite,
keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off.
Disconnect the power cord, or shut off the power
at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

NEVER OPERATE THE OVEN WITHOUT FOOD INSIDE.

2. Foods low in moisture.
Take care when heating foods low in moisture, eg. bread items,
chocolate, popcorn, biscuits and pastries. These can easily burn,
dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long.

3. Christmas Pudding.
Christmas puddings and other foods high in fats or sugar, eg. jam,
mince pies, must not be overheated. These foods must never be
left unattended as with overcooking these foods can ignite.

4. Boiled Eggs.
Do not cook eggs in their shells and
whole hard-boiled eggs in your
microwave. Pressure may build up and
the eggs will explode even after
microwave heating is completed.

5. Foods with Skins.
Potatoes, apples, egg yolk, whole
vegetables and sausages are examples
of food with non porous skins. These
must be pierced using a fork before
cooking to prevent bursting.

6. Liquids.
When heating liquids, eg. 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 the heating time.

d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring

again before carefully removing the container.

Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling,
therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.

Important safety instructions - Read Carefully

-5-

7. Lids.
Always remove the lids of jars and containers and takeaway food
containers before you microwave them. If you donʼt then steam
and pressure might build up inside and cause an explosion even
after the microwave cooking has stopped.

8. Deep Fat Frying.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.

9. Temperature probe
Use a temperature probe to check the temperature of foods when
they have been removed from the microwave. If undercooked,
return to the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the
recommended power level. Do not leave the temperature probe in
the oven when microwaving.

10. Paper, Plastic
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the
oven frequently as these types of containers ignite if overheated.
Do not use wire twist-ties with roasting bags as arcing may occur.
Do not use recycled paper products, e.g. kitchen roll unless they
say they are specifically designed for use in a microwave oven.
These products contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or
fires when used.

11. Reheating.
It is essential that reheated food is served “piping hot”.

Remove the food from the oven and check that it is “piping hot”,
ie. steam is being emitted from all parts and any sauce is
bubbling. If you wish you may choose to check the food has
reached 72˚C with a food thermometer – (but remember do not
use this thermometer inside the microwave) or to a temperature
recommended by Government Food Hygiene Regulations.

For foods that cannot be stirred, eg. lasagne, shepherds pie, the
centre should be cut with a knife to test it is well heated through.
Even if a manufacturerʼs instructions have been followed always
check the food is piping hot before serving and if in doubt return
your food to the oven for further heating.

12. Standing Time.
Standing time refers to the period at
the end of cooking or reheating when
food is left before being eaten, ie. it is
a rest time which allows the heat in
the food to continue to conduct to the
centre, thus eliminating cold spots.

13. Keeping Your Oven Clean.

It is essential for the safe operation of the oven that it is wiped out
regularly. Use warm soapy water or a
food sanitizer solution. Squeeze the
cloth out well and use to remove any
grease or food from the interior.
Disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply before cleaning.

14. Babies Bottles and Food Jars.

When reheating babies bottles always remove top and teat. Liquid
at the top of the bottle will be much hotter than that at the bottom
and must be shaken thoroughly before
checking the temperature. The lid must
also be removed from babies food jars,
the contents must also be stirred or
shaken before the temperature is
checked. The temperature has to be
checked before consumption to avoid
burns.

15. Containers.

Before use check that utensils/containers are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
DO NOT USE METAL UTENSILS IN THIS OVEN.

16. Sealed Containers.

Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers
since they are liable to explode.

17. Warning Notice.

The Warning Notice supplied with this oven must be installed in a
conspicuous place close to the appliance.

How does the microwave work?

Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves similar to those
used by a radio including AM, FM, and CB. They are, however, much
shorter than radio waves; approximately 12 cm long. Electricity is
converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube. From the
magnetron tube, microwave energy is transmitted and absorbed.

Reflection

Microwaves are reflected by metal just as a ball is bounced off a wall.
A combination of the interior walls and the rotation of the food on the
turntable ensure that the microwaves are well distributed within the
oven cavity to produce even heating of foods.

Transmission

Microwaves pass through some materials such as paper, glass and
plastic much like sunlight shining through a window. Because these
substances do not absorb or reflect the microwave energy, they are
ideal materials for microwave oven cooking containers.

Absorption

During heating, microwaves will be absorbed by food. They penetrate
to a depth of about 1-5 cm. Microwave energy excites the molecules in
the food (especially water, fat and sugar molecules), and causes them
to vibrate at a rate of 2,450,000,000 times per second. This vibration
causes friction, and heat is produced just as you will feel heat produced
if you vigorously rub your hands together. The internal heating of larger
foods is done by conduction. The heat which is produced by friction
travels by conduction to the centre of the food. Foods also continue to
heat by conduction during standing time.

Because microwaves dissipate, much like sunlight as it reaches the
Earths surface, they are not stored in food.

Radio Interference

1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your
radio, TV or similar equipment.

2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by
taking the following measures:

a. Clean the door and sealed surfaces of the oven. (See Care of

Your Microwave Oven found on page 7.)

b. Place the radio, TV, etc. as far away as possible, from the

microwave.

c. Use properly installed antenna, to obtain stronger signal

reception.

Care of your microwave oven

1. Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply before cleaning.

2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. If pieces of food or spilled liquids
stick to the oven walls, or between door seal and door surface, they
will absorb microwave energy and may cause arcing or sparks.
Wipe up all spills with a damp cloth. Kitchen detergent may be used
if the oven gets very dirty. Do not use harsh detergents or
abrasives.

3. The outside surface of this Microwave Oven should be cleaned with
soap and water, then dried with a soft cloth. Make sure that water
does not get into the ventilation opening since this can damage the
unit.

4. The window of the door should be wiped with very mild soap and
water. Be sure to use a soft cloth. The door front can be scratched
by harsh soap or detergents.

It is important to keep the turntable clean especially following a spillage of any kind.

It is essential for the safe operation of the oven that it is kept clean, and wiped out after each use. Failure to
maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of a surface that could adversely affect the
life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Auto Weight Defrost

This feature uses the CHAOS Theory principle to produce quick and even defrosting. The CHAOS system uses a random sequence of pulsing
microwave energy which speeds up the defrosting process.

Fast and even defrosting of the following foods will save on preparation and heating time.

1. Bread - suitable for defrosting rolls, buns and slices of bread for immediate use. Small items may feel warm immediately after defrosting. This
program is not suitable for cream cakes or desserts.

2. Bar Snacks - individual entrees and filled jacket potatoes can be defrosted prior to heating in the microwave ensuring they will not be
overcooked on the outside. Not suitable for pies and sausage rolls. Transfer food to suitable microwave containers.

3. Multi-portions - recipe dishes and pies can be defrosted prior to heating in the microwave ensuring they will not be overcooked on the outside.
Transfer food to a suitable container.

For best results turn, stir or break up the food during the defrosting period. Large items will require a standing time at the end of the defrosting
period.

How to Operate

Cooking Instructions

Defrosting Frozen Foods

1. For best results do not try to defrost frozen food completely in the
microwave oven as uneven defrosting may occur due to differences
in the thickness and shape of food. Defrost up to 70% and allow
food to stand - this is ideal and helpful for the next cooking
operation.

2. To defrost evenly, turn the food 180º, or turn it over during
defrosting.

3. To defrost fatty meat, heat it in the Microwave Oven for a short time
and leave it to stand at room temperature, or heat it intermittently
until defrosted.

4. When you defrost a whole chicken, or any frozen food of irregular
shape, wrap legs or thin parts with aluminium foil. Otherwise thin
parts will be defrosted faster and sometimes cooked before other
parts have properly defrosted.

5. Ice should be removed during defrosting.

Other Helpful Instructions

For best results

1. When determining heating time for a particular food, always
calculate the minimum time and check occasionally during cooking
for progress. The Microwave Oven cooks so quickly, it is easy to
overcook foods.

2. Be careful of the cooking time for small quantities of food, or food
with low water content. They may burn if cooked too long.

3. Do not use the oven for drying kitchen towels or napkins. They may
burn if heated too long.

4. Do not try to boil eggs in the oven.

5. When you cook an egg be sure to pierce the yolk membrane prior
to placing into the oven to prevent the egg bursting.

6. To achieve a more even cooking result, turn or stir the food.

7. When reheating two items at a time place both dishes on the
turntable side by side.

Cookware

1. Before using the oven always check that containers are suitable.
DO NOT MICROWAVE sealed containers as they may explode.
N.B. Always check manufacturerʼs instructions as some food
manufacturers are producing food in containers that do not require
piercing.

2. DO NOT leave the appliance unattended if paper, plastic or other
combustible containers are used. Do not use re-cycled paper
products, as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks
and/or fires when used, unless packaging states they are
specifically designed for MICROWAVE use.

3. Heat-proof glassware such as Pyrocream and Pyrex, is best suited
for use in the Microwave Oven.

4. Do not use metal ware, ceramics trimmed with gold or silver, or any
container with a metal content.

5. If ʻarcingʼ should occur, check the cookware carefully again for
metal.

6. You may use ordinary glass-ware, china-ware, plastic-ware, and
paper-ware when cooking food for short times only. Using this type
of cookware for longer cooking may cause cracking or warping.

CAUTION

Do not use METAL UTENSILS in this oven.

Cooking Instructions

Microwave Basics

Fundamental principles determine the success of microwave food
preparation.

They include:

1. TEMPERATURE OF FOODS - Frozen or refrigerated food items
will require longer heating times to reach a desired serving
temperature than foods from room temperature.

2. FOOD COMPONENTS - Foods high in sugar, salt, fats and
moisture content heat faster because these properties attract
microwave energy. Denser foods high in protein and fibre, absorb
microwave energy slower which means a longer heating time.

3. BULK/VOLUME - The greater the mass of food, the longer it takes
to heat.

4. CONTAINERS - Ceramic, paper, china, styrofoam, glass and
plastic are suitable for use in microwave ovens with the following
caution.

DO NOT HEAT foods in a SEALED container or bag. Foods
expand when heated and can break the container or bag.

5. AVOID METAL because it ʻbouncesʼ the microwaves, causing
uneven heating and sometimes even flashes, which may pit or mark
the interior of the oven, the metal container or plate trim.

6. Heated liquids can erupt if not mixed with air. Do not heat liquids in
the microwave oven without first stirring.

General Guidelines for Heating in a Panasonic
Microwave Oven

For specific time, see each food category for appropriate heating
techniques, plus necessary pre-preparation of foods.

Heating Food from Refrigerated Temperature

Foods stored in the refrigerator (4ºC) should be covered before
reheating with the exception of breads, pastries or any breaded
product, which should be heated uncovered to prevent sogginess.

Most conventionally prepared foods should be slightly undercooked
and held in the refrigerator, so that overcooking does not occur during
microwave heating.

Cooked items, such as vegetables, may be portion plated and covered
for reheating without loss of colour, texture or nutritional content.

Heating Foods from Room Temperature

Food items such as canned entrees, vegetables, etc. will require
significantly less heating time than those from refrigerated
temperatures.

Important Recommendations

1. For best results it is recommended that foods conventionally
prepared be slightly undercooked when subsequently heated in this
oven.

2. REMEMBER that after the heating cycle has been completed,
internal food temperatures continue to rise slightly in foods heated
in this oven.

3. A major abuse of microwave applications is the category of breads,
pastries and pies. They are drier than insides or fillings, they heat
more slowly. Therefore, baked goods should ONLY be heated until
the crust is warm to the touch (50-55ºC).

4. DO NOT OVERHEAT YOUR FOOD. 99% of all food quality
complaints of microwave heated foods can be traced to
overheating.

Heating foods with either high sugar or high fat content should
be done ONLY in high temperature resistant containers since
these foods get very hot. Using styrofoam containers for these
foods will cause the styrofoam to warp. Other low temperature
restaurant glass or plastic platters may crack or warp under
similar conditions.
