Safety Instructions

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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Piercing Skin

• Food with non porous skins, such as potatoes, egg yolks and sausages must be pierced before cooking by MICROWAVE to prevent bursting.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

Questions and Answers

Q: Why wonʼt my oven turn on? 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 authorised Service Center.

Q: My microwave oven causes

interference with my T.V. Is this normal?

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.

Q: The oven wonʼt accept my

program. Why?

A: The oven is designed not to accept an incorrect program.

For example, the oven will not accept a fourth stage, and will not accept Auto Weight Program after Delay Start.

Q: Sometimes warm air comes

from the oven vents. Why?

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.

Q: There are humming and clicking

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

A: The noises occur as the oven automatically switches from

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

Q: I can hear a buzzing noise while

the oven is being used with steam function.

A: The water supply pump is in action.

Q: Can I check the pre-set oven

temperature while cooking or preheating by CONVECTION?

A: Yes. Press Convection Pad and the oven temperature will

appear in the display window for 2 seconds.

Q: Can I easily cook my favourite

recipes using CONVECTION/GRILL?

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 times.

Q: “D” appears in the display and

the oven does not cook. Why?

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

designed for retail store display. Deactivate this mode by pressing Micro Power once, then press Stop/Cancel 4 times.

Q: Can I use a conventional oven

thermometer in the oven?

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.

Q: My oven has an odour and

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

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

and then run the oven without food, or accessories on CONVECTION 250°C for 20 mins. This will burn off any food, residue or oil which may cause an odour and/or smoking.

Q: The oven stops cooking by

microwave and 'H97' or 'H98' appears in the display. Why?

A: This display indicates a problem with the microwave

generation system. Please contact an authorised Service Centre.

Q: My oven stops cooking by mi-

crowave and “H00” appears in the display window.

A: The display indicates a problem with the microwave

communication system. Please contact an authorised Service Center.

Q: My oven will not operate and

nothing appears in the display, even after disconnecting and re-connecting the power cord.

A: Energy saving mode is set. Open the door and energy

saving mode is cancelled.

Q: Control panel is not responding. A: The oven is in standby mode. Open door to power up.

Q: During operation the appliance

stops working and the display goes blank.

A: Disconnect and re-connect the appliance at the power

socket. If the oven stops working and the screen goes blank again then there is a problem with the appliance and you should contact an authorised Service Center.

Questions and Answers

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. Wash the Glass dish in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.

8. Clean the water tank in warm water once a week.

9. The oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent and hot water then dry with a clean cloth.

10. The back of the oven has a self-clean catalytic lining. It is therefore not necessary to clean this area.

11. 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.

12. For the oven cleaning assistant and system cleaning programs, please refer to page 36.

13. After cooking involving steam function, check and wipe away any excess water which may have condensed within the cavity. To prevent burns, take care of hot surfaces which may exist from the cooking process or from hot water in the trough area.

14. A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.

15. This oven should only be serviced by qualified personnel. For maintenance and repair of the oven contact the nearest authorised dealer.

16. 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.

17. 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.
