Installation and General Instructions
General Use
1. In order to maintain high quality, do not operate
the oven when empty. The microwave energy
will refl ect continuously throughout the oven if
no food or water is present to absorb energy.
This can lead to damage to the microwave oven
including arcing within the oven cavity.
2. If smoke is observed, touch the STOP/RESET
key and leave door closed in order to stifl e any
fl ames. Disconnect the power cord, and/or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
3. The microwave oven is intended for heating food
and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and
heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges,
damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury,
ignition or fi re.
4. 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 fi res
when used.
5. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for
cooking.
6. Do not hit or strike the Control Panel. Damage to
controls may occur.
7. POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from
food is transferred to the cooking container and
from the container to the oven. The oven can be
very hot after removing the cooking container.
8. Do not store fl ammable materials next to, on top
of, or in the oven. It could be a fi re hazard.

Installation and General Instructions
(continued)
11. If the base of the oven is hot, allow to cool before
cleaning or placing in water.
12. When using the COMBINATION mode, never
place any aluminum or metal container directly
on the wire shelf. Always insert a heat-proof,
glass plate or dish between the wire shelf and the
aluminum container. This will prevent sparking
that may damage the oven.
13. It is recommended not to use the wire shelf when
cooking in the MICROWAVE mode only.
14. During cooking, some steam will condense inside
and/or on the oven door. This is normal and safe.
Steam will disappear after the oven cools down.
15. Do not leave the microwave unattended
while reheating or cooking food in disposable
containers made of plastic, paper or other
combustible materials, as these types of
containers can ignite if overheated.
16. The microwave oven is intended for heating food
and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and
heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges,
damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury,
ignition or fi re.
Placement of Oven
1. The oven must be placed on a fl at, stable
surface, more than 85 cm above the fl oor. For
correct operation, the oven must have suffi cient
air fl ow. Allow 15 cm of space on the top of
the oven, 10 cm at the back, and 5 cm on both
sides. If one side of the oven is placed fl ush
to wall, the other side or top must not be
blocked. Do not remove feet.
a. Do not block air vents. If they are blocked
during operation, the oven may be overheated
and damaged. When using any cloth over
the oven, the air intake and exhaust should
not be blocked. Do not place a cloth on top
of the unit during GRILLING/COMBINATION/
CONVECTION/ cooking as the top of the
microwave gets very hot. Also allow suffi cient
space on back and both sides of the oven.
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. This appliance is intended to be used in household
and similar applications such as: staff kitchen areas
in shops, offi ces and other working environments;
farm house; by clients in hotels, motels and other
residential environments; bed and breakfast type
environments.
Building-in your oven
1. This oven is intended for counter-top and builtin use only. It is not intended for use inside a
cupboard. This oven may be built into a wall
cabinet by using the proper trim kit,
(NN-TK813CSCP, Stainless) which may be
purchased from you local Panasonic dealer.
2. In case of fi tting into an oven housing, please use
Panasonic's Trim Kit, NN-TK813CSCP, Stainless.
3. Microwave ovens should not be built into a unit
directly above a top front venting conventional
cooker. This may be a safety hazard and could
result in damage to your oven. This will invalidate
your one year guarantee.
4. A microwave which is built in must be more than
850 mm above fl oor level. Read Trim-Kit instructions
carefully before installation. It is recommended that
the microwave oven is placed below a conventional
oven to avoid heat damage to the facia of the
microwave.
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 hardboiled eggs (unless otherwise stated in Cooking
Guide section). Pressure will build up and the
eggs will explode.
4. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, chicken wings,
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 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 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.

Installation and General Instructions
(continued)
7. COOKING TIMES given in the Cooking Guide
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 in a microwave oven. Cook for minimum
time as recommended by manufacturer. Use
the directions suitable for the wattage of your
microwave oven. NEVER leave oven unattended
when popping popcorn.
10. When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
check the oven frequently due to the possibility of
ignition.
11. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars
are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature
is to be checked before consumption, in order to
avoid burns.
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. They are similar to a television
where the radio waves are converted to a picture on
the screen. However, microwaves are much shorter
than radio waves; approximately twelve centimetres
wave length. 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 losing half of their power every two to three
centimetres. 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 microwaves come in contact with a substance,
any one or combination of three things may occur.
They can be:
1. REFLECTED
2. TRANSMITTED
3. ABSORBED
Refl ection:
Metal substances REFLECT microwave energy and
because there is no absorption, there is no heating.
This is why the oven interior is either stainless
steel or epoxy-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 refl ect 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 the vibration, produces heat energy which is
conducted throughout the food.

Cookware and Utensils Guide
It is important to use the correct container when
cooking in a microwave oven. The following will help
you make the right selection.
How to Test a Container for Safe
Microwave Oven Use
TO TEST A CONTAINER FOR SAFE MICROWAVE
OVEN USE: Fill a 1-cup glass measure with cool
water and place it in the microwave oven alongside
the empty container to be tested; heat one (1)
minute at High. If the container is microwave
ovensafe (transparent to microwave energy), the
container should remain comfortably cool, the water
in glass measure should be hot. If the container is
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. Freezer
wrap should not be used as it is not heat resistant
and may melt. Paper towel, 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 microwave dish test previously
mentioned.
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.
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 may 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 times. 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 used successfully 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 manufacturer’s
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 disfi guration 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.
Jars and Bottles
Jars and bottles can be used to warm food to serving
temperature, if the lid is removed fi rst. 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, or those with metallic
trim, should NOT be used in the microwave. Since
microwave energy is refl ected by metal, foods in
metal containers will not cook evenly. There is also a
possibility of “arcing”.
Although metal utensils should be avoided in
microwave cooking, some metal can be helpful when
used correctly.
Aluminum foil can be used safely, if certain guidelines
are followed, to prevent overcooking. Small pieces of
foil are used to shield areas such as chicken wings,
tips of roasts, or other thin parts that cook before
the rest of the recipe is fi nished. 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 in the microwave oven. Frozen dinner
trays can be used in the microwave, if the container
is no deeper than 2 cm and is fi lled with food. Metal
skewers can not be used in microwave ovens 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.
Straw, Wicker and Wood
Straw and wicker baskets may be used in the
microwave oven for short periods 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.
