Precautions to be taken when using Microwave Ovens for Heating foodstuffs

INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE

A microwave oven should only be used if an inspection confirms all of the following conditions:

1.The grille is not damaged or broken.

2.The door fits squarely and securely and opens and closes smoothly.

3.The door hinges are in good condition.

4.The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are neither buckled nor deformed.

5.The door seals are neither covered with food nor have large burn marks.

PRECAUTIONS

Microwave radiation from microwave ovens can cause harmful effects if the following precautions are not taken:

1.Never tamper with or deactivate the interlocking devices on the door.

2.Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while the oven is operating.

3.Never place saucepan's, unopened cans or other heavy metal objects in the oven.

4.Do not let other metallic articles, e.g. fast food foil containers, touch the side of the oven.

5.Clean the oven cavity, the door and the seals with water and a mild detergent at regular intervals. Never use any form of abrasive cleaner that may scratch or scour surfaces around the door.

6.Always use the oven with the trays or cookware recommended by the manufacturer.

7.Never operate the oven without a load (i.e. an absorbing material such as food or water) in the oven cavity unless specifically allowed in the manufacturer’s literature.

8.For horizontally hinged doors, never rest heavy objects such as food containers on the door while it is open.

9.Do not place sealed containers in microwave ovens. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or a teat are considered to be sealed containers.

10.The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

11.Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

PRACTICAL HINTS

1.Before using CONVECTION, COMBINATION or GRILL function for the first time, wipe excessive oil off in oven cavity and operate the oven without food on Convection 250°C for 5 minutes. This will allow the oil that is used for protection to be burned off.

2.Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILL.

Use care when opening or closing door and when inserting or removing food and accessories.

WE CERTIFY THAT THIS MICROWAVE OVEN HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATION 3, SUBCLAUSE(2),OF THE MICROWAVE OVENS REGULATIONS 1982.

Installation and Earthing Instructions

Important Instructions

WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or excessive microwave energy:

1.Read all instructions before using microwave oven.

2.Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers - (for example, closed glass jars and sealed baby bottles with a teat) - may explode and should not be heated in a microwave oven.

3.Use this microwave oven only for its intended use as described in this manual.

4.As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

5.Do not operate this microwave oven, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

6.Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.

7.Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

8.Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

9.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

10.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a)Do not overcook food. Carefully attend microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

b)Remove wire twist-ties from bags before placing bag in oven.

c)If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off at the wall switch, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

11.Do not remove outer panel from oven.

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.

Placement of Oven

1.The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface more than 85 cm above the floor. The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 15 cm of space on the top of the oven, 10 cm at back and 5 cm on both sides. If one side of the oven is placed flush to a wall, the other side or top must not be blocked.

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 etc.

c)Do not operate oven when room humidity is too high.

2.The surfaces of top, back and left side of the oven become hot during operation. Do not allow the mains cable to come in contact with the surface of the oven.

3.This oven was manufactured for household use only.

4.This oven may be built into a wall cabinet, if desired. This microwave oven is designed and approved for use only with a genuine Panasonic trim kit for Model number listed in the operating instructions (page 105). Installation with any other trim kit may void the warranty.

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 may rotate to cool the electric components. This is perfectly normal, and you can take food out of the oven while the fan operates.

Operation Before

General Instructions

General Use

1.Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

2.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.

3.If smoke is observed, 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 circuit breaker panel.

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

5.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.

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

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

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

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

10.Do not cook food directly on the turntable unless indicated in recipes. (Food should be placed in a suitable cooking utensil.)

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

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

13.Do not to use the wire rack when cooking in the MICROWAVE mode only.

14.If the turntable is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water.

15.Look at the oven from time to time when the food is being heated or cooked in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials, as these types of containers may ignite if overheated.

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.Do not boil eggs in their shell and whole hard - boiled eggs. (unless otherwise stated in recipes.) Pressure will build up and the eggs will explode.

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

5.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.

6.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.

7.COOKING TIMES given in the cookbook section are 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.

8.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.

9.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.

11.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

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.

Operation Before

Cookware and Utensil Guide

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.

Cookware and Utensil Guide

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. After completion of cooking loosen plastic but let dish stand covered.

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.

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.

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.

Care & Cleaning of your Microwave Oven

BEFORE CLEANING:		AFTER CLEANING:
Remove plug from outlet. If impossible, leave oven door		Be sure to replace the Roller Ring and Glass Turntable in
open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on.		the proper position and press Stop/Cancel Pad to clear
		the Display Window.

Inside of the oven:

Wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended.

The grill in the oven has a self-clean catalytic lining. It is therefore not necessary to clean the radiant grill element or above the grill in the roof of the oven.

Glass Tray:

Remove and wash in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher, if grease accumulates, clean with a nonabrasive nylon mesh scouring pad and non-abrasive cleanser.

Outside oven surfaces and back vents.

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

After using CONVECTION, GRILL or COMBINATION cooking the enamel 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, the roof of the oven, and the door. DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN.

When GRILLING or cooking by COMBINATION or CONVECTION some foods may splatter grease onto the enamel 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.

Oven Door:

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

Control Panel:

• If it becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on the Control panel.

Roller Ring and oven cavity floor:

Wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent water or window cleaner and dry. Roller Ring may be washed in mild soapy water or dishwasher. These areas should be kept clean to avoid excessive noise and scratching.

To Cook on Convection

1 Level Convection:

Just like a conventional oven, the convection oven has a heating element to give the dry heating needed to produce crisp, browned exteriors. Convection cooking has the addition of a fan to produce conventional results with a slightly reduced cooking time. Convection cooking temperatures start at 150°C, then count up in 10°C increments to 250°C then 40°C, 100°C, 110°C etc. Most conventional recipes will be suitable for use. Follow the minimum suggested cooking times and add additional time if required. Convection recipes are also available throughout the recipe section.

2 Level Convection:

2 Level Convection is available for when you wish to cook a larger quantity of food. The entire oven cavity may then be utilised. Use both the shelves supplied. When cooking with one or both of the shelves, remove all other accessories (glass turntable, roller ring, metal tray). Ensure that the shelves are inserted correctly and are secure before use.

22

To Cook on Combination: Convection & Microwave

Combination cooking is ideal for roasting meats, poultry and cooking cakes, pastries and slices. Combination cooking automatically alternates between Convection and Microwave heating.

The advantage of Combination cooking is that it gives you the browning of Convection and often shortens the conventional cooking time. Time is also reduced as preheating is not required.

To calculate cooking time start by cooking for approximately 2/3 of the conventional cooking time and add additional time If required. For examples of recipes and cooking times, consult recipes in the recipe section.

Use of Accessory:

Glass Turntable + Metal Tray

When cooking by Combination, place dishes to be cooked on the Glass Turntable or Metal Tray. When roasting meat, the roasts may be placed directly on Low Rack.

Ovenproof cookware, including ceramic is suitable for use on Combination cooking. Cakes, slices, desserts etc, may be cooked in metal cookware providing there is suitable quantity of food to be absorbed by the microwave heat. For example, do not place a small amount of food in a large metallic dish as arcing may occur.

2 Press Start

After the burst of steam is detected by the SENSOR, the remaining cooking time appears in the display and begins to count down.

more less

More/Less pads

Preferences for food doneness vary with each individual. After having used Sensor Reheat/Sensor Cook a few times, you may decide you would prefer your food cooked to a different doneness. By using the More/Less pads, the programs can be adjusted to cook food for a longer or shorter time.

Press More/Less pads after selecting category and before pressing Start pad.

For best results, follow these recommendations:

1.The Sensor Reheat / Sensor Cook work by detecting the amount of steam generated by the food being cooked. From the generated steam, the oven then calculates the remaining cooking time.

2.When an Auto Program has been selected, the category will appear in the display window.

3.The door should not be opened before the time appears in the display window.

4.When cooking time is longer than 60 minutes, the time will appear in hours and minutes.

5.Do not use plastic dishes with a snap closing lid or a pop top as a secure seal cannot be achieved and inaccurate results may occur.

6.Use glass, pyrex® or corning® ware dishes with fitted lids, or completely and securely cover with plastic wrap for best results.

7.If the oven has been previously used on CONVECTION, COMBINATION or GRILL, and it is too hot to be used on a Sensor Program, a “HOT” will appear in the display window.
