Welcome to Panasonic Microwave Cooking

Dear Owner,

Thank you for purchasing a Panasonic Microwave Oven.

Even if this is not your first microwave oven, do please read the opening chapters of this cookbook to achieve perfect results every time.

This microwave oven has the benefit of the Inverter System Inside. The new unique technology has been in use with microwave ovens in Japan for many years, improving the cooking performance of the oven. It also means that you benefit from having more space inside your oven, without taking up more room on your work surface.

Microwaves leave most foods tastier and leave you with less washing up, but don’t expect to become a perfect microwave cook overnight – some of the methods are very different to those used in conventional cooking.

At our busy Test and Development Kitchen in Bracknell, Home Economists program the ovens especially for the UK market. The recipes are tested many times to ensure you achieve successful results at home.

We hope you enjoy using your new oven but should you require any further help or explanation, phone our

COOKERY ADVICE LINE 01344 862108 or write to the address below.

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 13 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 13 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI markon the body of the fuse.

If the fuse cover is detachable, never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug.

A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local

Panasonic Dealer.

HOW TO REPLACE THE FUSE

Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse.

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY AND AN APPROPRIATE ONE FITTED. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13 AMP SOCKET.

If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown opposite. If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician (For U.K. Models only).

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green-and-yellow: Earth, Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live.

As the colours of the wire in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the Earth symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN-AND-YELLOW.

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.

When this oven is installed it should be easy to isolate the appliance from the electricity supply by pulling out the plug or operating a circuit breaker.

Voltage & Power

The voltage used must be the same as specified on this microwave oven. Using a higher voltage than that which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing damage.

Do not immerse cord, plug or oven in water. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or work top. Do not plug your oven in via an extension cable as this can be dangerous. It is important to plug the oven directly into a wall socket.

The back of the appliance heats up during use. Do not allow the cord to be in contact with the back of the appliance or cabinet surface.

Caution: Hot surfaces

1.Hot Surfaces

Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and the oven door, will get hot during CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILLING. Use care when opening or closing

and when inserting or removing food and accessories. The oven has a heater situated in the top of the oven. After using the CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILL functions the roof and walls will be very hot.

2.Children should be kept away from the oven at all times and should only be allowed to operate oven under supervision. Ensure that children

do not touch the hot outer casing after operation of the oven.

2

Unpacking your oven

1.Examine Your Oven

Unpack oven, remove all packing material, and examine the oven for any damage such as dents, broken door latches or cracks in the door. Notify dealer immediately if unit is damaged. Do NOT install if unit is damaged.

2.Guarantee

Your receipt is your guarantee, please keep safely.

3.Cord

If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or it’s service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

N.B. The appliance should be inspected for damage to the door seals and door seal areas. If these areas are damaged the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by a service technician trained by the manufacturer.

Placement of your oven

1. Oven must be placed on a flat, stable

surface 850mm above floor level. For proper	6"
operation, the oven must have sufficient air
		4"
flow, i.e. 5cm/2" at one side, the other being	2"
open; 15cm/6" clear over the top; 10cm/4"
	open

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.

3.Do not block air vents on the rear and bottom or top of the cabinet. Do not place any articles on the top of the oven over the vents. 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.

Before using your oven

1.Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during COMBINATION and GRILLING, take care when opening or closing the door and when inserting or removing food and accessories.

2.The oven has two heaters situated in the top of the oven. After using the COMBINATION and GRILL function, these surfaces will be very hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching the heating elements inside the oven.

N.B. After cooking by these modes, the oven accessories will be very hot.

3.The accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use.

4.Only allow children to use the 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 hazards of improper use. Ensure that children do not touch the hot outer casing after operation of the oven.

5.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, oven can only be turned off at wall socket.

6.Before Use

Before using CONVECTION, COMBINATION or GRILL function for the first time operate the oven without food and accessories (including glass turntable and roller ring) on CONVECTION 250 °C for 5 mins. This will allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be burned off. This is the only time that the oven is operated empty.

CAUTION: Grill element and oven will be hot. DO NOT OPERATE THE OVEN EMPTY.

(Apart from in point 6 above).

The appliance must not be operated by Microwave or Combination WITHOUT FOOD IN THE OVEN.

Operation when empty will damage the appliance.

Care & Cleaning of your Microwave Oven - IMPORTANT

It is essential for the safe operation of the oven that it is kept clean, and wiped out after each use.

1.Switch the oven off before cleaning and unplug at socket if possible.

2.Keep the inside of the oven, door seals and door seal areas clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, door seals and door seal areas wipe off with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if they get very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended.

3.The back of the oven has a self-clean catalytic lining. It is therefore not necessary to clean this area.

4.After using CONVECTION, GRILL or COMBINATION cooking the walls of the oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth squeezed in soapy water. Particular care should be taken to keep the window area clean particularly after cooking by CONVECTION, GRILL or COMBINATION. Stubborn spots inside the oven can be removed by using a small amount of branded conventional oven-cleaner sprayed onto a soft damp cloth. Wipe onto problem spots, leave for recommended time and then wipe off. Avoid the microwave feed guide area and the door. DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN.

5.The outside oven surface should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.

6.If the Control Panel becomes dirty, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on Control Panel. When cleaning the Control Panel, leave the oven door open to prevent

the oven from accidentally turning on. After cleaning touch STOP/CANCEL Pad to clear display window.

7.If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit or microwave leakage.

8.It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass turntable for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm soapy water. Do not place in the dishwasher.

9.The roller ring and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven, particularly the turntable spindle and the area surrounding this, with mild detergent and hot water then dry with a clean cloth. The roller ring may be washed in mild soapy water. Cooking vapours collect during repeated use but in no way affect the bottom surface or the roller ring wheels.

After removing the roller ring from cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace it in the proper position.

10.When GRILLING or cooking by COMBINATION or CONVECTION some foods may splatter grease onto the oven walls. If the oven is not cleaned to eliminate this grease, it can accumulate and cause the oven to ‘SMOKE’ during use. These marks will be more difficult to clean later. There is no need to clean the back of the oven, with the catalytic lining.

11.A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.

Maintenance of your oven

1.Service

WHEN YOUR OVEN REQUIRES A SERVICE call your local Panasonic engineer (Customer Care Centre on 08705 357357 can recommend an

engineer). It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

2.Door Seals

Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to door, control panel housing, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven. Do not remove outer panel from oven. The door seals and door seal areas should always be kept clean

– use a damp cloth.

N.B. The appliance should be inspected for damage to the door seals and door seal areas. If these areas are damaged the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by a service technician trained by the manufacturer.

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.

4.Selected Spares and Accessories

Parts of Your Oven

1.Do not operate the oven without the Roller Ring and Glass Turntable in place.

2.Only use the Glass Turntable specifically designed for this oven. Do not substitute with any other Glass Turntable.

3.If Glass Turntable is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water.

4.Do not cook directly on Glass Turntable. Always place food in a microwave safe dish. The only exception to this is when cooking Jacket Potatoes on microwave only.

5.If food or utensil on Glass Turntable touches oven walls, causing the turntable to stop moving, it will automatically rotate in the opposite direction. This is normal. Open oven door, reposition the food and restart.

6.The Glass Turntable can rotate in either direction. The maximum weight that can be placed on the turntable is 4kg (8lb 14oz) (this includes total weight of food and dish.)

7.While cooking by MICROWAVE or COMBINATION, turntable may vibrate. This will not affect cooking performance.

8.The metal accessories provided must ONLY be used as directed for Grilling, Convection and Combination cooking. Never use them on microwave only. Do not use if operating the oven with less than 200g (7oz) of food on a manual Combination program. FAILURE TO USE ACCESSORIES CORRECTLY COULD DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.

9.Arcing may occur if the incorrect weight of food is used, a metal container has been used incorrectly, or the accessories have been damaged. If this occurs, stop the machine immediately. You can continue to cook by GRILL OR CONVECTION ONLY.

10.Always refer to instructions for correct accessories to use on all programs. The glass turntable and roller ring are the only accessories used for Microwave Cooking. For CONVECTION and COMBINATION cooking the metal tray must ALWAYS be in place on the glass turntable.

Important Information – Read Carefully

Safety

If smoke or a fire occurs in the oven, press Stop/Cancel pad and leave the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or the circuit breaker panel.

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.

Cooking times given in the cookbook are approximate. 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.

NEVER OPERATE THE OVEN WITHOUT FOOD INSIDE ON MICROWAVE OR COMBINATION.

2.Foods Low in Moisture.

Take care when heating foods low in moisture, e.g. 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, e.g. jam, mince pies, must not be over heated. These foods must never be left unattended as with over cooking these foods can ignite.

4.Boiled Eggs.

Eggs in their shell and whole hardboiled eggs should not be heated in micorwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave heating has ended.

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.

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

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

7.Lids.

Always remove the lids of jars and containers and takeaway food containers before you microwave them. If you don’t 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.

6

Important Information – Read Carefully

9.Meat Thermometer.

Use a meat thermometer to check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry only when meat has 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 a conventional meat thermometer in the oven when microwaving.

10.Paper, Plastic.

When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition. Do not use wire twist-ties with roasting bags as arcing will occur.

Do not use re-cycled 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”, i.e. 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.)

For foods that cannot be stirred, e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, the centre should be cut with a knife to test it is well heated through. Even if a manufacturer’s packet 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, i.e. 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, squeeze the cloth out well and use to remove any grease or food from the interior. Pay particular attention to the door seal area and also the areas around the microwave feed guide situated on the right hand side of the cavity wall. The

oven should be unplugged when cleaning. The catalytic lining at the back does not need to be cleaned.

14.Grilling.

The oven will only operate on the GRILL function with the door closed.

15.Fan Motor Operation.

After using the microwave oven, the fan motor may operate to cool the electric components. This is normal and you can take out food even though the fan motor operates. You can continue using the oven during this time.

16.Containers.

Before use check that utensils/containers are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

17.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. This should be carried out before consumption in order to avoid burns.

18.Arcing

Arcing may occur if a metal container has been used incorrectly, if the incorrect weight of food is used, or if the accessories have been damaged. Arcing is when blue flashes of light are seen in the microwave oven. If this occurs, stop the machine immediately. If the oven is left unattended and this continues it can damage the machine.

You can continue to cook by GRILL OR CONVECTION ONLY.

19.Maximum weight on turntable

The maximum weight that can be placed on the turntable is 4kg (8lb 14oz) (this includes total weight of food and dish.)

7

Microwaving Principles

Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in World War II. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and from manmade sources.

Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.

HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD

In a microwave oven, electricity is converted into microwaves by the MAGNETRON.

13 Amp fused socket

REFLECTION

The microwaves bounce off the metal walls and the metal door screen.

TRANSMISSION

Then they pass through the cooking containers to be absorbed by the water molecules in the food, all foods contain water to a more or lesser extent.

Microwave

Water Molecule Absorption

Vibration

The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate which causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This heat then cooks the food. Microwaves are also attracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods high in these will cook more quickly. Microwaves can only penetrate to a depth of 11⁄2-2 inches (4-5 cm) and as heat spreads through the food by conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the food cooks from the outside inwards.

IMPORTANT NOTES

The dish used to cook or reheat the food will get warm during cooking, as the heat conducts from the food. Even in microwaving, oven gloves are required!

MICROWAVES CANNOT PASS THROUGH METAL AND THEREFORE METAL COOKING UTENSILS CAN NEVER BE USED IN A MICROWAVE, FOR COOKING ON MICROWAVE ONLY

Foods Not Suitable for Cooking by Microwave Only

Yorkshire Puddings, Souffles, Double Crust Pastry Pies.

Because these foods rely on dry external heat to cook correctly, do not attempt to cook by microwave.

Foods that require deep fat frying cannot be cooked either.

Boiled Eggs

Do not boil eggs in your microwave. Raw eggs boiled in their shells can explode and cause serious injury

STANDING TIME

When a microwave oven is switched off, the food will continue to cook by conduction – NOT BY MICROWAVE ENERGY. Hence STANDING TIME is very important in microwaving, particularly for dense foods i.e. meat, cakes and reheated meals (Refer to page 9).

8

General Guidelines

STANDING TIME

Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require a STANDING TIME (inside or outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting to cook the centre completely.

■MEAT JOINTS – Stand 15 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil.

■JACKET POTATOES – Stand 5 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil.

■LIGHT CAKES – Stand 5 mins. before removing from dish.

■RICH DENSE CAKES – Stand 15-20 mins.

■FISH – Stand 2-5 mins.

■EGG DISHES – Stand 2-3 mins.

■PRECOOKED CONVENIENCE FOODS – Stand for 5 mins.

■PLATED MEALS – Stand for 2-5 mins.

■VEGETABLES – Boiled potatoes benefit from standing 1-2 mins., however most other types of vegetables can be served immediately.

■DEFROSTING – It is essential to allow standing time to complete the process. This can vary from 5 mins. e.g. raspberries, to up to 1 hour for a joint of meat.

If food is not cooked after STANDING TIME, return to oven and cook for additional time.

PIERCING

The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeled off

before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc., will all need to be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.

MOISTURE

CONTENT

Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in their moisture content throughout the season. Jacket potatoes are a

particular example of this. For this reason cooking times may have to be adjusted throughout the year. Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry out further during storage and cooking times may differ from ingredients freshly purchased.

CLING FILM

Cling film helps keep the food moist and the trapped steam assists in speeding up cooking times. However it should be pierced before cooking, to

allow excess steam to escape. Always take care when removing cling film from a dish as the build-up of steam will be very hot. Always purchase cling film that states on the packet “suitable for microwave cooking” and use as a covering only. Do not line dishes with cling film. Do not cover foods when cooking by Combination, Convection or Grill.

9

DISH SIZE

Follow the dish sizes given in the recipes, as these affect the cooking and reheating times. A quantity of food spread in a bigger dish cooks and reheats more quickly.

DENSITY

Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods.

TURNING AND STIRRING

Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and poultry should be turned after half the cooking time.

QUANTITY

Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions.

COVERING

Cover foods with microwave cling film or a self-fitting lid. Cover fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups.

Do not cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes, pastry items.

LIQUIDS

All liquids must be stirred before and during heating. Water especially must be stirred before and during heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heat liquids that have previously been boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT.

SPACING

Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other.

ARRANGING

Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are to the outside.

CHECKING FOOD

It is essential that food is checked during and after a recommended cooking time, even if an AUTO PROGRAM has been used (just as you would check food cooked in a conventional oven). Return the food to the oven for further cooking if necessary.

SHAPE

Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by microwave when in a round container rather than square.

STARTING TEMPERATURE

The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature.

CLEANING

As microwaves work on food particles, keep your oven clean at all times. Stubborn spots of food can be removed by using a branded oven cleaner, sprayed onto a soft cloth, always wipe the oven dry after cleaning. Avoid any plastic parts and door area. The back of the oven has a catalytic lining which is self cleaning.

10

Containers to use

Choosing the correct container is a very important factor in deciding the success or failure of your cooking.

Testing Dishes for Suitability - For Microwave Cooking Only.

When unsure that a cooking container is suitable for use in your microwave, check by the following test:

1. Fill a microwave safe measuring jug with 300ml (1⁄2pt) cold water.

2. Place it on the turntable alongside the dish to be tested. If the dish you are testing is a large dish, then stand the measuring jug on top of the empty dish.

3. Heat on HIGH power for

1 minute.

QUICK CHECK GUIDE TO COOKING UTENSILS

Result

If the dish is suitable for microwaving, it will remain cool, whilst the water in the jug will begin to feel warm. If the testing dish feels warm, do not use as it is obviously absorbing microwave energy.

N.B. This test does not apply to plastic or metal based containers e.g. Le Creuset® style dishes, which should not be used as they are cast iron covered with enamel.

OVEN GLASS

Everyday glass that is heat resistant e.g. Pyrex®, is ideal for Microwave, Convection or Combination cooking. DO NOT USE FOR GRILLING. Do not use delicate glass or lead crystal which may crack or arc.

CHINA AND CERAMIC

Everyday glazed china, porcelain or ceramic plates, bowls, mugs and cups can be used if they are heat resistant. Fine bone china should only be used for reheating for short periods. Do not use dishes with a metal rim or pattern. Do not use jugs or mugs with glued handles, since the glue can

melt. If dishes are heat resistant they may be used on Convection and Combination but not directly under the Grill.

If completely glazed, these dishes are suitable. Do not use if partially glazed or unglazed, since they are able to absorb water which in turn absorbs microwave energy, making the container very hot and slows down the cooking of food.

FOIL/METAL CONTAINERS

NEVER ATTEMPT TO COOK IN FOIL OR METAL containers on Microwave only as the microwaves cannot pass through and the food will not heat evenly, it may also damage your oven. Small items in shallow foil containers can be REHEATED in the microwave, as

long as containers do not touch the oven walls or door. Foil and metal containers can be used on Grill and Convection modes and may be used with care during certain Combination cooking, as long as they are not damaged or dented.

11

PLASTIC

Many plastic containers are designed for microwave use, but do not use for cooking foods high in sugar or fat or for foods that require long cooking times e.g. brown rice.

		Only use Tupperware®
		containers if they are
		designed for microwave
		use. Do not use Melamine.
		Never cook in margarine
		cartons or yoghurt pots, as
		these will melt with the heat
		from the food. If heatproof
		they can be used for
		Convection or Combination
		cooking. DO NOT USE
		UNDER THE GRILL.

PAPER

Plain white absorbent kitchen paper (kitchen towel) can only be used for microwave cooking e.g. covering blind pastry cases and for covering bacon to prevent splattering. ONLY USE FOR SHORT COOKING TIMES. NEVER RE-USE A PIECE OF KITCHEN TOWEL. ALWAYS USE A FRESH PIECE OF PAPER FOR EACH DISH.

Avoid kitchen paper containing manmade fibres. If you are using branded re-cycled kitchen towel,

check first that it is recommended for microwave use. Do not use waxed or plastic coated cups or plates as the finish may melt. Greaseproof paper can be used to line the base of dishes and to cover fatty foods e.g. bacon rashers, to stop splattering. White paper plates can be used for SHORT REHEATING TIMES, on Microwave only.

	WICKER, WOOD, STRAW BASKETS
	Dishes will crack and could ignite.
	Do not use wooden dishes in your microwave.
	DO NOT USE ON ANY COOKING MODE.

CLING FILM

Microwave cling film can only be used for covering food that is reheated by

microwave. It is also useful for covering food to be cooked, but care should be taken to avoid the film being in direct contact with the food. DO NOT USE ON ANY OTHER COOKING MODE.

ROASTING BAGS

Roasting bags are useful when slit up one side to tent a joint, for roasting by power and time. Do not use the metal twists supplied, when using Microwave or Combination.

ALUMINIUM FOIL

Small amounts of smooth aluminium foil can be used to SHIELD joints of meat during defrosting and cooking by Microwave, as the microwaves cannot pass through the foil, this prevents the parts shielded from overcooking or overdefrosting. Take care that the foil does not touch the sides or roof of the oven, as this may cause arcing and damage your oven. Aluminium foil can be used for Convection cooking.

Auto Weight Defrost Programs

This feature allows you to defrost minced meat, chops, chicken portions, meat joints and bread.

The CHAOS defrost pad should be pressed to select the correct category and then enter in the weight of the food in grams or pounds and ounces using the appropriate pads (See page 16).

Foods should be placed in a suitable dish, whole chickens and joints of meat should be on an upturned saucer or on a rack. Chops, chicken portions and slices of bread should be placed in a single layer. It is not necessary to cover the foods.

The CHAOS Theory principle is used in Auto Weight defrost programs to give you a quick and more even defrost.

The CHAOS system uses a random sequence of pulsing microwave energy which speeds up the defrosting process.

During the program the oven will beep to remind you to check the food.

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU TURN AND STIR THE FOOD FREQUENTLY AND SHIELD IF NECESSARY (See page 18).

On hearing the first beep you should TURN and SHIELD (if possible). On the second beep you should turn the food or break it up.

1st Beep		1st Beep		2nd Beep

Turn	or	Shield	Turn or break up
CATEGORY 1		BREAD

The Bread Program is suitable for defrosting small items e.g. rolls, buns and slices of bread which are required for immediate use. Small items may feel warm immediately after defrosting. Loaves can also be defrosted on this program but these will require standing time to allow the centre to thaw out. Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated and buns and loaves cut in half. Items should be turned halfway during defrosting. THIS PROGRAM IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CREAM CAKES OR DESSERTS e.g. cheesecake.

CHAOSCATEGORY 2 MEAT ITEMS (MINCE/CHOPS/CHICKEN PORTIONS)

DEFROST It is necessary for mince to be broken up frequently during defrosting and this is best carried out in a large shallow dish. Chops and chicken portions should be arranged in a single layer and turned frequently.

CATEGORY 3 MEAT JOINTS/WHOLE CHICKENS

Meat joints and chickens will require shielding during defrosting especially if they are particularly fatty pieces. This is to prevent over defrosting on the outside edges. Smooth foil secured with cocktail sticks should be used. DO NOT ALLOW THE FOIL TO TOUCH THE WALLS OF THE OVEN. Back fat of joints, legs, wings and breast bones need shielding (see photograph above). Standing time of at least 1 hour should be allowed (rolled joints may require longer) before cooking to ensure the centre is fully defrosted.

17

Defrosting Guidelines

By selecting the DEFROST power level from the microwave power pad, and setting a time, you can defrost food in your microwave. The biggest problem is getting the inside defrosted before the outside starts to cook.

For this reason a defrost program alternates between a defrost power and a standing time. The name for this type of defrost is cyclic and during the

standing stages there is not any microwave power in the oven, although the light will remain on and the turntable will turn. The automatic stand times ensure a more even defrost but it is still necessary to allow for standing time before use. Place foods in a suitable container. Meat joints and chickens should be placed on an upturned saucer or on a plastic rack if you have one.

Separate chops and small items			Chickens and joints of meat will
e.g. bread slices where possible.			require shielding during defrosting.

Turn dense foods and meat 2/3	Break up small items e.g. minced
times during defrosting.	meat, frequently during defrosting.

TIPS

1Check foods during defrosting. Foods vary in their defrosting speed.

2It is not necessary to cover the food.

3Always turn or stir the food especially when

the oven “beeps’’. Shield if necessary (see point 5).

4Minced meat/chops/chicken portions should be broken up or separated as soon as possible and placed in a single layer.

5Shielding prevents food cooking. It is essential when defrosting chickens and joints of meat. The outside thaws out first, so protect wings/breast/fat with smooth pieces of aluminium foil secured with cocktail sticks.

6Allow standing time so that the centre of the food thaws out.

(minimum 1 hour for joints of meat and whole chickens)

OVEN ACCESSORIES TO USE

When grilling foods the Glass Turntable should be in position, with the Metal Tray and the High Rack on top.

Place food on High Rack on the Metal Tray on the Turntable.

GUIDELINES

The High Rack will allow fat to drip through into the Metal Tray to reduce excess splatter and smoke when grilling steaks, chops and other fatty foods.

Most foods require turning halfway during cooking. When turning food, open oven door and CAREFULLY remove the Metal Tray and High Rack by holding the accessories firmly. Use oven gloves when removing accessories as they will be very hot, and so will the roof and walls of the oven.

After turning, return food to the oven, close door and press START. The oven will continue to count down the remaining cooking time. It is quite safe to open the oven door at any time to check the progress of the food as it is grilling.

If grilling fish or small items, place the metal tray on top of the high rack.

1.There is no microwave power on the GRILL only program.

2.Use the accessories provided, as explained above.

3.The Grill will only operate with the oven door closed.

4.Most meat items e.g. bacon, sausages, chops can be cooked on the hottest setting - GRILL 1. This setting is also suitable for toasting bread, muffins and teakakes etc.

5.GRILL 2 and GRILL 3 are used for more delicate foods or those that require a longer grill time e.g. fish or chicken portions.

6.DO NOT PREHEAT THE GRILL.

7.NEVER COVER THE FOOD WHEN GRILLING.

8.ALWAYS USE OVEN GLOVES WHEN REMOVING THE FOOD AND ACCESSORIES AFTER GRILLING AS THE OVEN AND ACCESSORIES WILL BE VERY HOT.

9.After Grilling it is important that the Grill accessories are removed for cleaning before reuse and that the oven walls and floor are wiped with a cloth squeezed in hot soapy water to remove any grease. DO NOT PUT ACCESSORIES IN DISH WASHER. It is not necessary to clean the back of the oven which has a catalytic self clean lining.
