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 grill or between the door and the oven while the oven is operating.

3. Never place saucepans, unopened cans or other heavy metal objects in the oven.

4. Do not let other metallic ar ticles, 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 super vised 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 Grill 1 for 20 minutes.This will allow the oil that is used for protection to be burned off.

2. Exter ior 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.

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.Trim kits may be purchased from a local Panasonic dealer. See page 97 for technical specifications.

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 inser t 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 out the food from the oven while the fan operates.

Before Operation

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/RESET 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 dr y 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 str ike 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 Ceramic Tray. The tray 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 Ceramic Tray unless indicated in recipes. (Food should be placed in a suitable cooking utensil.)

.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.

12.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.

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

14.If ceramic tray is hot, aloow to cool before cleaning or placing in water.

.Look at the oven from time to time when food is

heated or cooked in disposal containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials, as these types of containers 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 ov en.

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, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous 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.

.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.

Before Operation

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.

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.

Before Operation

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. 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.

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.

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 range from 100˚C to 250˚C.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. For example, cooking two trays of biscuits Foods placed on Low Rack may require a slightly longer cooking time than those on High Rack.

bread, chicken pieces casseroles, lasagne, reheating sweet/savoury pies, reheating muffins

Pastries, bread, grilling sausages and rissoles, whole chicken, chicken pieces, pizzas, reheating croissants

Cakes, slices, desserts, etc. may be cooked in metal cookware. Do not place a small amount of food in a large metallic dish as arcing may occur.

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

/3of the conventional cooking time and add additional time If required. For examples of recipes and cooking times, consult recipes in the recipe section.

Ovenproof cookware, including ceramic is suitable for use on Combination cooking. Cakes, slices, desserts etc. may be cooking 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.

When cooking by Combination, place dishes to be cooked on the Ceramic Tray. When roasting meat, the roasts may be placed directly on Low Rack. Sausages and rissoles may also be cooked in this way.

Place a heatproof glass or ceramic dish under the rack to catch any drips from the roast. Alternately, elevate the roast on a roasting rack in a baking dish and place directly on Ceramic Tray.

Before Requesting Service

ALL THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL:

The oven causes interference with my TV.

Steam accumulates on the oven door and warm air comes from the oven vents.

I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any food in it.

There are humming and clicking noises from my oven when I cook by Combination.

The oven has an odour and generates smoke when using the Convection, Combination and Grill function.

Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the microwave oven.This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, hair dryer, etc.It does not indicate a problem with your oven.

During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most of the steam and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which circulates in the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on cooler surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal.

Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven. However, we do not recommend this to be done.

These noises occur as the oven automatically switches from microwave power to Convection/Grill, to create the Combination setting.This is normal.

It is essential that your oven is wiped out regularly particularly after cooking. Any fat and grease that builds up on the roof and walls of the oven will begin to smoke if not cleaned.

PROBLEM

The oven is not plugged in securely.

Remove plug from outlet, wait 10 seconds and re-insert.

Circuit breaker or fuse is tripped or blown.

Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse.

There is a problem with the outlet.

Plug another appliance into the outlet to check if the outlet is working.

The door is not closed completely.

Close the oven door securely.

Start pad was not pressed after programming.

Press Start pad.

Another program has already been entered into the oven.

Press Stop/Reset pad to cancel the previous program and program again.

The program has not been entered correctly.

Cooking Guide

Food Characteristics

Microwave Recipe Preparation and Techniques

Microwaves penetrate the surface of the food to a depth of about two to three centimeters and then the heat is gradually conducted in a random pattern. Some par ts of food matter cook faster than others. Special microwaving techniques are used to promote fast and even cooking.Some of these techniques are similar to those used in conventional cooking, but because microwaves produce heat very quickly they are extremely important. It's a must to be familiar with the following tips.

Size and Quantity

Small portions cook faster than large portions. As you increase the quantity of food you put into the microwave oven, you must also increase your cooking time.The microwave oven has only the same power regardless of quantity; thus the power is divided between more items and so it takes longer to cook. As a general guide, if you double the quantity of food suggested in the recipe, add half the time suggested again.

Liquid Content

Low moisture foods take a shorter time to cook than foods with a lot of moisture.

Shape

Uniform sizes cook more evenly. To compensate for irregular shapes, place thin pieces towards the centre of the dish and thicker pieces towards the outer edge of the dish.

Bone and Fat

Bones conduct heat and cause the meat next to them to be heated more quickly. Large amounts of fat absorb microwave energy and meat next to these areas may overcook.

Starting Temperature

Food which has been sitting at room temperature takes less time to cook than refrigerated or frozen food.

Density and Composition

Porous, airy foods (cakes and breads) take less time to cook than heavy compact foods (meat and vegetables).Recipes high in fat and sugar content cook more quickly.

Key to Symbols Used in Recipes

Techniques for Preparation

Timing

A range of cooking times is given in each recipe for two reasons. Firstly, to allow for the uncontrollable differences in food shapes, starting temperatures and personal preferences.Secondly, these allow for the differences in electrical voltage input which changes during peak load periods. Always remember that it is easier to add time to undercooked food.Once the food is overcooked, nothing can be done. For each recipe, an approximate cooking time is given.

Stirring

Stirring is often necessary during microwave cooking.We have noted when stirring is helpful in the recipes. Always bring the outside edges towards the centre and the centre portions to the outside.

Rearranging or Turning

Some foods should be turned in the container during cooking. For example, because of the different thicknesses in the breast and back sections of poultry, it is a good idea to turn poultry over once to ensure more even cooking.Rearranging or turning over uneven shaped food in the dish should be done as suggested to ensure a satisfactory result. Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces, prawns, hamburger patties, steak or chops. Rearrange pieces from the centre to the edge of the dish.

Cooking in Layers

Cooking in layers is not always successful as it takes twice as long to cook as a single layer and cooking may be uneven.You can successfully reheat two dinner plates of food at one time but remember to increase the reheating time and use a microwave warming rack.

Piercing of Foods

Pierce the skin or membrane of foods when cooked whole in the microwave oven.This allows steam to escape. If the skin has not been pierced, food may burst.

Cured Meats

Cured meats may overcook in some areas due to the high concentration of salts used in the curing process. So take care when cooking different brands of bacon as cooking times may vary slightly.
