Safety Instructions

Heater Operation

1. Before using CONVECTION,

COMBINATION or GRILL function for the first time, wipe excessive oil off in the oven cavity and operate the oven without food and accessories on GRILL 1, for 10 minutes. This will allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be burned off. This is the only time the oven is used empty.

2. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents

on the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILLING. Take care when opening or closing the door and when inserting or removing food and accessories.

3. The oven has two quartz heaters situated

in the top of the oven. After using the CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILL functions, care should be taken to avoid touching the inside surfaces of the oven, as these will be very hot.

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

4. The accessible parts may become hot in

COMBINATION and GRILL use. Young children should be kept away and children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperatures.

Fan Motor Operation

While the oven is in Microwave/Heater operation, the cooling fan always rotates to cool the electric components. After the completion of operation, the fan may continue rotating for a while. This is perfectly normal, and you can take out the food from the oven while the fan is still in operation.

Oven Light

When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult your dealer.

Accessories

The oven comes equipped with a variety of accessories. Always follow the directions given for use of the accessories.

Glass Tray

1. Do not operate the oven without the roller

ring and the glass tray in place.

2. Never use another type of glass tray than

the one specially designed for this oven.

3. If the glass tray is hot, let it cool before

cleaning or placing in water.

4. The glass tray can turn in either direction.

5. If the food or cooking vessel on the glass

tray touches the oven walls and stops the tray rotating, the tray will automatically rotate in the opposite direction. This is normal.

6. Do not cook foods directly on the glass

tray, except when cooking Jacket Potatoes in microwave mode.

Roller Ring

1. The roller ring and the oven floor should be

cleaned frequently to prevent noise and build-up of remaining food.

2. The roller ring must always be used for

cooking together with the glass tray.

Metal Tray

1. The Metal Tray is for cooking on Grill,

Convection and Combination modes. Do not use Metal Tray in Microwave mode only.

2. The Metal Tray should be placed on the

Glass Tray or Wire Rack.

Wire Rack

1. The wire rack is used to grill small dishes,

and help with the circulation of heat.

2. Do not use any metal container directly on

the Wire Rack in COMBINATION with MICROWAVE.

3. Do not use the Wire Rack in MICROWAVE

mode only.

Important Information

1) Cooking Times

• Cooking times given in the cookbook are

approximate. The cooking time depends on the condition, temperature, amount of food and on the type of cookware.

• Begin with the minimum cooking time to

help prevent overcooking. If the food is not sufficiently cooked you can always cook it for a little longer.

N.B.: 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.

Small Quantities of Foods

• Small quantities of food or foods with low

moisture content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and remove the plug from the socket.

Eggs

• Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole

hard-boiled eggs by MICROWAVE. Pressure may build up and the eggs may explode, even after the microwave heating has ended.

Piercing Skin

• Food with non porous skins, such as

potatoes, egg yolks and sausages must be pierced before cooking by MICROWAVE to prevent bursting.

Meat Thermometer

• Use a meat thermometer to check the

degree of cooking of roasts and poultry only when the meat has been removed from the oven. Do not use a conventional meat thermometer when using MICROWAVE or COMBINATION because it may cause sparking.

Liquids

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 the cooking time. d) After heating, allow it to stand in the

oven for a short time, stir again before

carefully removing the container.

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 recycled paper products (e.g.

Kitchen Roll) 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 during use.

• Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags

before placing the bags in the oven.

Utensils/Foil

• Do not heat any closed cans or bottles

because they might explode.

• Metal containers or dishes with metallic

trim should not be used during Microwave cooking. Sparking will occur.

• If you use any aluminium foil, meat spikes

or metalware the distance between them and the oven walls and door should be at least 2 cm to prevent sparking.

Feeding Bottles/Baby Food Jars

• The top and teat or lid must be removed

from feeding bottles or baby food jars before placing in the oven.

• The contents of feeding bottles and baby

food jars are to be stirred or shaken.

• The temperature has to be checked before

consumption to avoid burns.

Panacrunch Pan

Using the panacrunch pan (Manual operation)

•

For best results, pre-heat the pan before using. Place directly on the glass tray and pre-heat on Combination Grill 1 + 600 W for 3 minutes. To assist browning, brush the pan with oil before preheating for items such as sausages and beefburgers. For ease of operation, you may wish to program the preheat combination of the Panacrunch Pan into the Memory Pad.

•

Remove the pan from the oven and place the food in the pan. Use the panacrunch pan handle or oven gloves as the pan will be very hot. For best results, it is important that the food is placed on the pan immediately after pre-heating. Performance cannot be guaranteed with a time delay.

•

Place the pan on the glass tray and cook according to the guidelines shown in the cooking chart in the cookbook.

Care of the pan

•

Never use any sharp utensils on the pan as this will damage the non-stick surface.

•

After use, wash the pan in hot soapy water and rinse in hot water. Do not use any abrasive cleaning substances or scouring pads as this will damage the surface of the pan.

•

The pan is dishwasher safe.

Notes:

1. Do not pre-heat the pan more than 8

minutes.

2. Always place the pan in the centre of the

glass tray and ensure it does not touch the wall of the oven cavity. Failure to do so may cause sparking which would damage the cavity.

3. Always use the pan on the glass tray. Do

not use with the wire rack.

4. Always use the panacrunch pan handle or

oven gloves when handling the hot pan.

5. Ensure all food packaging is removed

before cooking.

6. Do not place any heat-sensitive materials

on the hot pan as this may cause burning.

7. The pan can be used in a conventional

oven.

8. For best results, use the pan in

COMBINATION GRILL/ CONVECTION and MICROWAVE.

The ʻconceptʼ

Some foods cooked by microwave can have soft and soggy crusts. Your panacrunch pan accessory will brown and crisp pizzas, quiches, pies, breaded products. Your Panasonic panacrunch pan works in three ways: heating the pan by absorbing microwaves, heating the food directly by microwaves and heating the food by Grill/Convection. The base of the pan absorbs the microwaves and transfers them into heat. Then the heat is conducted through the pan to the food. The heating effect is maximised by the non-stick surface.

Questions and Answers

Q: Why wonʼt my oven turn on?

Q: My microwave oven causes

interference with my TV. Is this normal?

Q: The oven wonʼt accept my

program. Why?

Q: Sometimes warm air comes

from the oven vents. Why?

Q: “D” appears in the display and

the oven does not cook. Why?

Q: Can I use a conventional oven

thermometer in the oven?

Q: There are humming and

clicking noises from my oven when I cook by COMBINATION. What is causing these noises?

Q: My oven has an odour and

generates smoke when using the CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILL function. Why?

Q: Can I check the pre-set oven

temperature while cooking or preheating by CONVECTION?

Q: Can I easily cook my favourite

recipes using CONVECTION/ GRILL?

A: When the oven does not turn on, check the following:

1. Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove the plug

from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and reinsert.

2. Check the circuit breaker and the fuse. Reset the

circuit breaker or replace the fuse if it is tripped or blown.

3. If the circuit breaker or fuse is all right, plug another

appliance into the outlet. If the other appliance works, there probably is a problem with the oven. If the other appliance does not work, there probably is a problem with the outlet. If it seems that there is a problem with the oven, contact an authorized Service Center.

A: 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, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.

A: The oven is designed not to accept an incorrect

program. For example, the oven will only accept one stage cooking (excluding Delay Start), and will not accept an Auto Weight Program after Delay Start.

A: The heat given off from the cooking food warms the air

in the oven cavity. This warmed air is carried out of the oven by the air flow pattern in the oven. There are no microwaves in the air. The oven vents should never be blocked during cooking.

A: The oven has programmed DEMO MODE. This mode is

designed for retail store display. Deactivate this mode by pressing Micro Power Pad once and Stop/Cancel Pad four times.

A: Only when you are using CONVECTION/GRILL cooking

mode. The metal in some thermometers may cause arcing in your oven and should not be used on MICROWAVE and COMBINATION cooking modes.

A: The noises occur as the oven automatically switches

from MICROWAVE power to CONVECTION/GRILL to create the combination setting. This is normal.

A: After repeated use, it is recommended to clean the oven

and then run the oven without food, glass tray, and roller ring on CONVECTION 220°C for 20 minutes. This will burn off any food, residue or oil which may cause an odour and/or smoking.

A: Yes. Press the Convection Temperature Selector pad

and the oven temperature will appear in the display window for 2 seconds.

A: Yes. You can cook your favourite recipe just as you

would in a conventional oven. Check instructions in the Panasonic Cookbook for suggested oven temperatures and cooking tim

es.

Care of Your Oven

1. Turn the oven off before cleaning.

2. Keep the inside of the oven, door seals

and door seal areas clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the 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 abrasive is not recommended. DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS.

3. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or

sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

4. 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.

5. If the Control Panel becomes dirty, clean it

with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on the 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 the display window.

6. 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.

7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the

glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.

8. The roller ring and oven cavity floor

should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven 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 affects the bottom surface or roller ring wheels. After removing the roller ring from the cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace it in the proper position.

9. When using the GRILL, CONVECTION or

COMBINATION mode, some foods may inevitably splatter grease on to the oven walls. If the oven is not cleaned occasionally, it may start to “smoke” during use.

10. A steam cleaner must not be used for

cleaning.

11. This oven should only be serviced by

qualified personnel. For maintenance and repair of the oven contact the nearest authorized dealer.

12. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean

condition could lead to deterioration of surfaces that could affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

13. Keep air vents clear at all times. Check

that no dust or other material is blocking any of the air vents on the top, bottom or rear of the oven. If air vents become blocked this could cause overheating which would affect the operation of the oven and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
