Important Notice
Your oven is rated 1000 Watts (IEC). When using other cookbooks remember to adjust cooking times accordingly. The symbol above, which is displayed on your oven door, indicates the heating category for your oven when cooking or reheating convenience foods. Your oven is rated ʻEʼ, which is very efficient. It is therefore very important that you refer carefully to the packet instructions on convenience foods. Some packet instructions only display information for B or D rated ovens. We therefore provide additional guidelines for reheating on pages 59-75 of this book. ALWAYS check the progress of the food as it cooks or reheats by simply opening the door and after checking the progress of the foods press START to continue the cooking time.
Failure to follow the instructions given in this Cookbook and Operating Instructions, may affect the recipe result and in some instances may be dangerous.

Welcome to Panasonic Microwave Cooking
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 technology. This 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 donʼt expect to become a perfect microwave cook overnight – some of the methods are very different to those used in conven tion al cooking. Home Economists program the ovens especially for the UK market. The recipes are also 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:

Important Information – Read Carefully
Safety
If smoke or a fire occurs in the oven, press Stop/Cancel button 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 MODE INVOLVING MICROWAVE
2.
Foods Low in Moisture
Take care when heating foods low in moisture, e.g. bread items, chocolate, biscuits and pastries. These can easily burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long. We do not recommend heating foods low in moisture such as popcorn or poppodums. This oven has been developed for food use. We do not
recommend that it is used for heating non­food items such as wheat bags or hot water bottles.
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. See page
70.
4.
Boiled 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.
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.
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 15
7. Lids
Always remove the lids of jars and containers and takeaway food containers before you microwave them. If you donʼt then steam and pressure might build up inside and cause an explosion even after the microwave cooking has stopped.
8. Deep Fat Frying
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.
9. 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, check the oven frequently as these types of containers ignite if overheated. Do not use wire twist-ties with roasting bags when cooking mode includes microwave power 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 manufacturerʼs 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. See page 20.

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. 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. See pages 24-26.
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. See page 64.
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.

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 mobile phones.
Microwaving Principles
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 1½-2 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.
How Microwaves cook food
In a microwave oven, electricity is converted into microwaves by the MAGNETRON.
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.

The dish used to cook or reheat the food will get warm during cooking, as the heat conducts from the food. Even in micro waving, oven gloves are required!
MICROWAVES CANNOT PASS THROUGH METAL AND THERE FORE METAL COOKING UTEN SILS 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 micro wave.
Foods that require deep fat frying cannot be cooked either.
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 20).
Bottom Feeding Technology
Please note that this product uses bottom feeding technology for microwave distribution which differs from traditional turntable side feeding methods & creates more useable space for a variety of different sized dishes.
This microwave feeding style can give a difference in heating times (in microwave mode) when compared against side feeding appliances. This is quite normal and should not cause any concern. Please refer to the reheating and cooking charts on pages 65-81.
Boiled Eggs
Do not boil eggs in your microwave. Raw eggs boiled in their shells can explode and cause serious injury
Important Notes

NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 19
General Guidelines
Standing time
Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require a STANDING TIME (inside or outside of the oven) after cook ing, to allow heat to finish con ducting through the food.
Meat Joints – Stand 15 mins. wrapped in
aluminium foil.
Jacket Potatoes – Stand 5 mins. wrapped
in aluminium foil when cooked by microwave only. It is not necessary to stand jacket potatoes cooked in COMBINATION mode.
Light Cakes – Stand 5 mins. before
removing from dish.
Rich Dense Cakes – Stand 15-20 mins.
Fish – Stand 2-3 mins.
Egg Dishes – Stand 1-2 mins.
Precooked Convenience Foods – Stand
for 2-3 mins.
Plated Meals – Stand for 2-3 mins.
Vegetables – Boiled potatoes benefit from
standing 1-2 mins., however most other types of vegetables can be served immediately.
If food is not cooked after STANDING TIME, return to oven and cook for additional time.
Defrosting – It is essential to allow
standing time to com plete the process. This can vary for example from 5 mins for raspberries and up to 1 hour for a joint of meat. See page 35-37.

NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 20
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 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.
General Guidelines
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.
21
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 21
Shape
Even shapes cook evenly.
Arranging
Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are to the outside.
Quantity
Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions.
Density
Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods.
Spacing
Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other.
Ingredients
Foods containing fat, sugar or salt heat up very quickly. The filling may be much hotter than the pastry. Take care when eating. Do not overheat even if the pastry does not appear to be very hot.
General Guidelines
22
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 22
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. Food temperature should be between 5-8ºC before cooking.
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. Please refer to cooking charts and recipes for more information.
General Guidelines
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 conven tional oven). Return the food to the oven for further cooking if necessary.
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. Customers should not spray directly into the cavity. The catalylic lining at the back of the oven is self cleaning. See page 12 point 4.
Turning and Stirring
Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and poultry should be turned after half the cooking time.
Liquids
All liquids must be stirred before, during and after heating. Water espe cially must be stirred
before and during heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heat liquids that have previously been boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT. Stir before serving.
23
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 23
China and Ceramic
Everyday glazed china, porcelain or ceramic plates, bowls, mugs and cups can be used if they are heat resis tant. 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.
Containers to use
1. Fill a microwave safe measur ing jug with
300ml (½pt) cold water.
2. Place it on the base of the oven along side
the dish to be tested. If the dish you are testing is a large dish, then stand the measur ing jug on top of the empty dish.
3. Heat on HIGH power for 1 minute.
Result
If the dish is suitable for micro waving, 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 obvious ly absorbing microwave energy.
N.B. This test does not apply to plastic or metal based con tainers e.g. Le Creuset
®
style dishes, which should not be used as they are cast iron covered with enamel.
Quick Check Guide to Cooking Utensils
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.
Oven Glass
Everyday glass that is heat resistant e.g. Pyrex, is ideal for Microwave, Convection or Combination cooking. Do not use delicate glass or lead crystal which may crack or arc.
When unsure that a cooking con tainer is
suitable for use in your microwave, check by the follow ing test:
24
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 24
Foil/Metal Containers
NEVER ATTEMPT TO COOK IN FOIL OR METAL con tai ners on Microwave only as the microwaves cannot pass through and the food will not heat evenly, it may also damage your oven. 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.
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.
Containers to use
Pottery, Earthenware, Stoneware
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.
25
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 25
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.
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.
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.
Aluminium Foil
Small amounts of smooth aluminium foil can be used to SHIELD joints of meat during defrosting and cook ing by Microwave, as the microwaves cannot pass through the foil, this prevents the parts shielded from overcook ing or over de frost ing. 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.
Paper
Plain white absorbent kitchen paper (kitchen towel) can only be used for microwave cooking e.g. covering blind pastry cases and for cover ing 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 RE HEATING TIMES, on Microwave only.

This feature allows you to defrost minced meat, chops, chicken portions, meat joints and bread.
The CHAOS defrost button should be pressed to select the correct defrost category and then enter in the weight of the food in grams (see page 31).
Foods should be placed in a suitable dish, whole chickens and joints of meat should be on an upturned saucer or on a microwave safe plate. 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.
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.

1. Check foods during defrosting. Foods vary
in their defrosting speed.
2. It is not necessary to cover the food.
3. Always turn or stir the food especially when
the oven “beepsʼʼ. Shield if necessary (see point 5).
4. Minced meat/chops/chicken portions should
be broken up or separated as soon as possible and placed in a single layer.
5. Shielding 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. See page 32.
6. Allow standing time so that the centre of
the food thaws out. (minimum 1 hour for joints of meat and whole chickens)
TIPS:
33
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. See page 37 for standing times.
Category 2 Meat items (Mince/Chops/Chicken Portions)
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. See page 35-36 for standing times.
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 page 32). Standing time of at least 1 hour should be allowed (rolled joints may require longer) before cooking to ensure the centre is fully defrosted. See page 35-36 for standing times.
Auto Weight Defrost Programs
Defrosting Guidelines
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 33
Turn dense foods and meat 2/3 times during defrosting.
Break up small items e.g. minced meat, frequently during defrosting.
Defrosting Guidelines
By selecting the DEFROST power level from the microwave power button 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. During the standing stages there is not any microwave power in the oven, although the light will remain on.
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 e.g. bread slices where possible.
Chickens and joints of meat will require shielding during defrosting.

Guidelines
41
Grilling
Oven accessories to use
Place food on Wire Shelf.
The Wire Shelf will allow fat and juices to drip through into the Enamel Shelf to reduce excess splatter and smoke when grilling.
Most foods require turning halfway during cooking. When turning food, open oven door and CAREFULLY remove the Wire Shelf 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, chops or small items, place the enamel shelf in the upper position.
When grilling foods the Wire Shelf should be in the top shelf position and the enamel shelf should be in the bottom shelf position or you can use the enamel shelf in the top shelf position. When positioning the wire shelf, the vertical wires of the shelf should sit higher than the sides of the shelf.
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 41
Enter cooking time using Time/
Weight Dial. Maximum cooking time is 9 hours.
Press Start Button. Note: Check
that only the convection symbol
is still in the display. If the microwave symbol is displayed this is incorrect and the program should be cancelled. Reselect the convection setting.
Convection Cooking
Press Convection
Button. The oven starts at 150°C. Press the button and the temperature will count up in 10°C stages to 250°C, then 40°C and 100°C .
NOTE:
1. Open the door using the Door release
button, because if the Stop/Cancel Button is pressed the program may be cancelled.
2. You can add to the cooking time during
cooking, if required. Turn Time/Weight Dial to increase the cooking time. A maximum time of 10 minutes can be added.
The oven will maintain the selected preheated temperature for approximately 30 minutes. If no food has been placed inside the oven or a cooking time set, then it will automatically cancel the cooking program and revert to time of day.
CAUTIONS:
THE ACCESSORIES AND THE SURROUNDING OVEN WILL GET VERY HOT. USE OVEN GLOVES.
Your Combination Oven can be used as a conventional oven using the CONVECTION mode which incorporates a heating element with a fan. For best results always place food in a preheated oven. The grill will come on when the oven is preheating. You can cook in three ways when using convection cooking -
1. On the Enamel shelf in the lower or upper shelf position.
2. On the Wire rack shelf in the lower or upper shelf position.
3. Both of the above at the same time, to use the oven for two level cooking.
See individual guidelines on pages 43 for recommended accessories to use. You can preheat with or without the Enamel shelf or Wire shelf in position.
42
Press Start Button to preheat. A “P” will
appear in the display window. When the oven is preheated the oven will beep and the “P” will flash. Then open the door and place the food inside.* There is no preheat at 40°C.

Convection Cooking
Roasting Meat: Wire shelf in lower
position.
Baking: Enamel shelf in lower position.
Oven accessories to use:
ONE LEVEL COOKING
If cooking on one level, you can use the Enamel Shelf or Wire Shelf in the lower or upper shelf position.
Guidelines
When using the oven as a CONVECTION oven, there is NO MICROWAVE POWER, i.e. the oven is operating as a conventional oven and you can use all your standard metal baking tins and ovenware.
It is possible to cook on one or two levels when using convection cooking. When cooking large joints of meat roasting tins can be placed directly on the base
You can use the Enamel Shelf as a baking dish for roasting potatoes or vegetables, and for baking fairy cakes, scones and cookies. It is also ideal for re-heating pre-cooked convenience pastry items.
Roasting Veg / Potatoes: Enamel Shelf in lower position.
Reheating: Enamel Shelf in lower position.

NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 43
Two level cooking
When cooking on two levels use the Enamel shelf on the lower shelf position and the Wire shelf in the upper shelf position.
Depending on the recipe, you can preheat with or without the accessories in position. See individual recipes for details.
Two level cooking is ideal for:
1. Batch baking, fairy cakes, cookies and
scones on two levels.
2. Cooking a complete meal together. Frozen
pizza on the upper level and frozen chips on the lower level.
3. Cooking roast potatoes on the upper level
and roast vegetables on the lower level.
4. Re-heating small pastry items in large
batches- Sausage rolls, pastry pies, quiches (all pre-cooked). Ensure that the shelves are inserted correctly, and are secure before use. Do not place a dish of food weighing more than 4 Kg (8 lb 14 oz) on the shelf.
Batch Baking: Fairy Cakes
Cooking a complete meal: Frozen pizza on upper level, frozen oven chips on lower level
ALWAYS USE OVEN GLOVES WHEN REMOVING THE FOOD AND ACCESSORIES AFTER COOKING AS THE OVEN AND ACCESSORIES WILL BE VERY HOT.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU HOLD THE DISH AND/OR SHELF FIRMLY WITH BOTH HANDS WHEN YOU ARE REMOVING THEM FROM THE OVEN.

For best results always place food in a preheated oven. Donʼt forget that for ease of programming of the most commonly used temperatures, your oven will start at 150°C and count up in 10°C stages to 250°C, then back to down to 40°C then 100°C. Food is generally cooked UNCOVERED - unless it is a casserole or you wish to use roasting bags for joints.
Your Microwave Oven keeps above 200°C oven temperature for initial 20min. After 20 min., oven temperature reduces to around 200°C automatically. This is unlikely to result in reduced effective­ness but please ensure that cooking times are adjusted according to your preference.

Guidelines
Always place food in a preheated oven. Food is cooked UNCOVERED. DO NOT USE PLASTIC CONTAINERS.
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 47
Combination Cooking
In addition to Convection plus grill cooking, your oven has three other methods of cooking by Combination.
1. Convection and Microwave
2. Grill and Microwave
3. Convection, Grill and Microwave
COMBINATION cooking is ideal for many foods. The microwave power cooks them quickly, whilst the oven, grill or both gives the traditional browning and crispness.
All this happens simultaneously resulting in most foods being cooked in ½-
2
/
3 of the
conventional cooking time.
There is no need to preheat on COMBINATION programs, EXCEPT when cooking pastry.
It is possible to use smooth seamed metal tins and foil containers on COMBINATION. They must be placed directly on the anti spark ring, on the wire shelf. They must not be placed directly onto the wire shelf or arcing will occur.
If you experience arcing, which is when you see blue sparks or hear crackling noises, the metal container is unsuitable or you have insufficient food in the oven. You should stop the program immediately and change the container or re-program to CONVECTION only.
To cook successfully by COMBINATION you should always use a minimum of 200 g (7oz) food. Small quantities should be cooked by Convection, Grill or Convection plus Grill.
NOTE: THE ENAMEL SHELF CANNOT BE USED FOR COMBINATION COOKING.
48
NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 48
CAUTION: Take care to use oven gloves when removing dishes from the oven - especially when
turning or stirring foods as the oven walls and roof will be very hot.
NOTE:
1. When placing food in the oven after
preheating, just press door release button because if STOP/CANCEL Button is pressed the program may be cancelled. Then, if the time was entered, the oven would revert to cooking on microwave only.
2. You can add to the cooking time during
cooking, if required. Turn Time/Weight Dial to increase the cooking time. A maximum time of 10 minutes can be added.
Oven accessories
When using any Combination cooking program the wire shelf may be used in the upper or lower shelf position. Do not place metal containers directly on the wire shelf when cooking on combination mode. Use the anti-spark ring on top of the wire shelf, then place any metal container. Your metal containers can then be used in combination mode without arcing. DO NOT USE THE ENAMEL SHELF ON COMBINATION COOKING.
Containers to use
DO NOT use plastic MICROWAVE containers on Combination Programs (unless suitable for combination cooking). Dishes must be able to withstand the heat of the top grill - heatproof glass e.g. Glass or ceramic are ideal. But do not put dishes on wire rack in upper shelf position directly under the grill. Place the wire rack in the lower shelf position.

The Auto Weight Programs are designed to take the guesswork out of cooking or reheating your food. They must ONLY be used for the foods described.
1. Only cook foods within the weight ranges
described (see table below).
2. Only use the accessories as indicated on
pages 60-63.
3. DO NOT cover food unless stated.
Combination auto programs use a Combination of Microwave and Grill and/or Convection and covering will prevent the food browning. The heat of the grill will also melt any plastic covering.
4. Most foods benefit from a STANDING time
after cooking on an Auto Program, to allow heat to continue conducting to the centre.
5. To allow for some variations that occur in
food, check that food is thoroughly cooked and piping hot before serving.
6. ALWAYS weigh the chicken for the whole
chicken Auto program. DO NOT rely on the packet weight.

Cooking and Reheating Guidelines
Most foods reheat very quickly in your oven by HIGH power. Meals can be brought back to serving temperature in just minutes and will taste freshly cooked and NOT leftover. Always check food is piping hot and return to oven if necessary.
As a general rule, always cover wet foods, e.g. soups, casseroles and plated meals.
Do not cover dry foods e.g. bread rolls, mince pies, sausage rolls etc.
The charts on pages 65-81 show you the best way to cook or reheat your favourite foods. The best method depends on the type of food.
Remember when cooking or reheating any food that it should be stirred or turned wherever possible. This ensures even cooking or reheating on the outside and in the centre.
When is food reheated?
Food that has been reheated or cooked should be served “piping hot” i.e. steam should be visibly emitted from all parts. As long as good hygiene practices have been followed during the prepa ra tion and storage of the food, then cooking or reheating presents no safety risks.
Foods that cannot be stirred should be cut with a knife to test that they are adequately heated throughout. Even if a manufac tur erʼs instructions or the times in the cookbook have been followed, it is still important to check the food is heated thoroughly. If in doubt, always return to the oven for further reheating.
If you cannot find the equivalent food in the chart then choose a similar type and size listed and adjust the cooking time if necessary.

NN-CF760M CF750W CF771 BP_Regs:F00039M69BP 26/2/13 10:19 Page 63
Plated Meals
Everyoneʼs appetite varies and reheat times depend on meal contents. Dense items e.g. mashed potato, should be spread out well. If a lot of gravy is added, extra time may be required. Place denser items to the outside of the plate. Between 7-8 mins on MEDIUM power will reheat an average portion.
Canned Foods
Remove foods from can and place in a suitable dish before heating.
Soups
Use a bowl and stir before heating and at least once during reheating and again at the end.
Casseroles
Stir halfway through and again at the end of heating.
Mince Pies
REMEMBER even if the pastry is cold to the touch, the filling will be piping hot and will warm the pastry through. Take care not to overheat otherwise burning can occur due to the high fat and sugar content of the filling. Check the temperature of the filling before consuming to avoid burning your mouth.
Christmas Puddings and Liquids
Take great care when reheating these items. See Page 70.
Do not leave unattended. Do not add extra alcohol. Babiesʼ Bottles - Caution
Milk or formula MUST be shaken thoroughly before heating and again at the end and tested carefully before feeding a baby. See page 65 for details.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE YOUR MICROWAVE TO STERILISE BABIESʼ BOTTLES. If you have a special microwave steriliser we urge extreme caution, due to the low quantity of water involved. It is vital to follow the manufacturers instructions implicitly.

BABIES BOTTLES – CAUTION
After heating by Microwave liquid at the top of a bottle will be much hotter than at the bottom of the bottle and must be shaken thoroughly
before checking the temperature. When testing the temperature of the milk, squirt a little onto your inner wrist. The milk droplets on your skin
should feel warm, not hot.
For 250ml of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat. Heat on HIGH Power for 30 secs. CHECK CAREFULLY
For 100ml of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat. Heat on HIGH Power for 10-15 secs. CHECK CAREFULLY

Increasing and Decreasing Recipes
Increasing Recipes
To increase a recipe from 4 to 6 servings
Increase each ingredient listed by half. To
double the quantity, simply double every ingredient listed.
Do not forget that large quantities will require
a larger dish. Make sure that it is deep enough to prevent the recipe from boiling over during cooking.
Cover as directed in the recipe. Stir or
rearrange foods as recommended.
Increase the stand times by 5 mins. per lb.
Always check the recipe during cooking.
When increasing the ingredients to 6
servings, add an extra one third of the original cooking time, i.e.. 30 mins. on MEDIUM power for 4 servings will become 40 mins. on MEDIUM power for 6 servings.
When doubling a recipe from 4 to 8
Add on half the original cooking time, i.e. 30 mins. on MEDIUM power for 4 servings will become 45 mins. on MEDIUM power for 8 servings.
Decreasing Recipes
To decrease a recipe from 4 servings to 2 servings, halve the ingredients listed.
Choose a dish that is proportionally smaller than the one recommended in the recipe, however make sure it is deep enough to stop food boiling over.
Allow half to two-thirds of the original cooking time, i.e. 30 mins. on MEDIUM power for 4 servings will become 15-20 mins. on MEDIUM power for 2 servings.
Using Recipes from Other Books
The best way to convert a family favourite dish is to find a similar recipe in a cookery book to give you a guide to the correct method and timings to use.
Many cookbooks refer to 650W ovens, however since 1990 oven output powers have been set by a new standard (IEC). When using
other cookbooks, the 1000 W output power of your oven must be allowed for. Use the same power level suggested e.g. HIGH or MEDIUM and select the same cooking time suggested, however CHECK the progress of the food during cooking and adjust the time if necessary.
Cooking for One
For one serving quarter ALL ingredients listed.
Choose a dish that is proportionally smaller than the one recommended in the recipe.
Use the same cooking power recommended in the original recipe.
Start by cooking for one quarter of the recommended cooking time, although extra time in most cases will be required.
Always check the food during cooking.
There is not a great saving for reduced
quantities of soups, casseroles, stews and rice, as a minimum time is required to tenderise meats and blend flavours.
When cooking for one it often makes sense to cook for two and plate up both meals. Freeze one meal for a later date.

Fish
Fish cooks very well by MICROWAVE as it stays very moist.
LIQUID- Fresh or frozen fish should always be sprinkled with 30 ml (2 tbsp) of lemon juice, white
wine or water for even cooking. Do not sprinkle salt onto fish before cooking as this may make the fish dry.
WHEN IS FISH COOKED?- Fish is cooked when it flakes easily and becomes opaque. For
fish with a strong odour, eliminate the smell after cooking by placing 600 ml (1pt) of boiling water and 1 sliced lemon in a large bowl and cook on SIMMER MICROWAVE for 20 mins. Wipe out oven with a dry cloth.
ARRANGING- If cooking 2 whole fish together, they should be arranged head to tail for even
cooking. Fish steaks should be arranged in a circle, thicker part to the outside. Cover with cling film or lid.
NOISE- During cooking, popping sounds may be heard. This is due to moisture trapped between
the flesh, particularly with oily fish such as salmon and mackerel. This can be minimised when cooking if the skin and flesh is pierced several times with a cocktail stick.

Large amounts of fat absorb microwave energy and can cause the meat next to it to overcook. Always choose meat that isn't excessively fatty. Braised and stewed meat cooked in a microwave has a slightly firm texture and therefore it is essential to purchase good quality meats.
Standing time
Meat and poultry joints require a minimum of 15 mins. STANDING TIME. Roast meat is always easier to carve after STANDING and the meat will continue to cook during the STAND TIME.
Turning
Joints and poultry should be turned over halfway through cooking.
Roasting bags
Roasting bags are useful when split up one side to tent a joint for roasting by microwave and time. Do not use the metal twists supplied when operating with microwave.
