Thank you for purchasing a Panasonic Microwave Oven.
Your oven is rated 1000 Watts (IEC). When using other cookbooks remember to adjust
cooking times accordingly. The symbol indicates the heating category for your oven when
cooking or reheating convenience foods.
Your oven is rated ‘E’, which is very effi cient. 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 and cooking on pages 76-91 of this book.
ALWAYS check the progress of the food as it cooks or reheats by simply opening the door.

PA_F0003BH72BP_00_140331.indd 9PA_F0003BH72BP_00_140331.indd 9 2014/4/1 9:45:302014/4/1 9:45:30
Care & cleaning of your oven
Important
It is essential for the safe operation of the
oven that it is kept clean, and wiped out
after each use. Failure to maintain the oven
in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of a surface that could adversely affect
the life of the appliance and possibly result
in a hazardous situation.
1. Switch the oven off before cleaning
and unplug at the socket if possible.
2. Keep the inside of the oven, door
seals and door seal areas clean.
When food splatters or spilled liquids
adhere to 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 abrasives is not
recommended.
3. The back and top of the oven cavity has a
self-clean catalytic lining. It is therefore
not necessary to clean this area.
4. After using GRILL, CONVECTION,
STEAM and COMBINATION cooking
the walls of the oven should be cleaned
with a soft cloth squeezed in soapy
water. Particular care should be taken to
keep the window area clean especially
after cooking by GRILL, CONVECTION,
STEAM and COMBINATION. Stubborn
spots inside the oven can be removed
by using a small amount of branded
conventional oven-cleaner sprayed onto
a soft damp cloth. Wipe onto problem
spots, leave for recommended time
and then wipe off. DO NOT SPRAY
DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN.
5. After cooking with a steam function,
check and wipe away any excess water
which may have condensed within the
oven cavity. Empty the drip tray (refer to
page 14).
6. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or
sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they may scratch the
surface, which may result in shattering
of the glass.
7. 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.
8. If the control panel becomes dirty,
clean with a soft, dry cloth. DO NOT use
harsh detergents or abrasives on 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 to clear the
display window.
9. 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 or
microwave leakage.
10. The oven cavity fl oor should be
cleaned regularly. Simply wipe the
bottom surface of the oven with mild
detergent and warm water then dry with
a clean cloth. Cooking vapours collect
during repeated use but in no way affect
the bottom surface.
11. When GRILLING or cooking
by CONVECTION, STEAM or
COMBINATION some foods may
splatter grease onto the oven walls. If
the oven is not cleaned to eliminate this
grease, it can accumulate and cause
the oven to ‘SMOKE’ during use. These
marks will be more diffi cult to clean
later. There is no need to clean the
catalytic lining at the back and top of
the oven cavity.
12. A steam cleaner is not to be used for
cleaning.
13. Ensure all accessories are kept clean,
especially when using microwave or
combination programs.
14. 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 vents
become blocked this could cause
overheating which would affect the
operation of the oven and possibly result
in a hazardous situation.
15. Run the system cleaning program when
the symbol shows in the display. See
pages 66. Clean the water tank at least
once a week to prevent build up of
limescale. See page 67.

Important information – read carefully
Safety
If smoke is emitted or a fi re occurs in the
oven, touch Stop/Cancel and leave the door
closed in order to stifl e any fl ames.
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 fi rst 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 fi re and
possibly damage the interior of the oven.
Small quantities of food
Take care when heating small quantities
of food as these can easily burn, dry out or
catch fi re 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.
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 fi re if cooked too long.
We do not recommend heating foods low in
moisture such as popcorn or poppodums.
The microwave oven is intended for heating
food and beverages only. Drying of food,
newspapers or clothing and heating of
warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp
cloth, wheat bags, hot water bottles and
similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or
fi re.
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.
Boiled eggs
Eggs in their shell and whole hardboiled
eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode even after
microwave heating has ended.
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.
Warning
Liquids and other foods must not be heated
in sealed containers since they are liable to
explode.

PA_F0003BH72BP_00_140331.indd 15PA_F0003BH72BP_00_140331.indd 15 2014/4/1 9:45:312014/4/1 9:45:31
Important information – read carefully
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:
Avoid using straight-sided containers
a.
with narrow necks.
Do not overheat.
b.
Stir the liquid before placing the container
c.
in the oven and again halfway through
the heating time.
After heating, allow to stand in the oven
d.
for a short time, stirring again before
carefully removing the container.
Microwave heating of beverages can
e.
result in delayed eruptive boiling,
therefore care should be taken when
handling the container.
Lids
Always remove the lids of jars and
containers and takeaway food containers
before you microwave them. If you don’t then
steam and pressure might build up inside
and cause an explosion even after the
microwave cooking has stopped.
Deep fat frying
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.
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.
Paper, plastic
When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven due
to the possibility of ignition. Do not use wire
twist-ties with roasting bags when cooking
mode includes microwave power as
arcing will occur. Do not use recycled paper
products, e.g. Kitchen roll unless they say
they are specifi cally designed for use in a
microwave oven. These products contain
impurities which may cause sparks and/or
fi res when used.
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 manufacturer’s 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.
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.
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 back and top of the oven cavity
has a self-clean catalytic lining. It is
therefore not necessary to clean this
area.

Important information – read carefully
Grilling
The oven will only operate on the GRILL
function with the door closed.
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.
Utensils/containers
Before use check that utensils/containers are
suitable for use in microwave ovens.
See pages 22-23.
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 76.
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 fl ashes
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,
CONVECTION or STEAM ONLY.

PA_F0003BH72BP_00_140331.indd 17PA_F0003BH72BP_00_140331.indd 17 2014/4/1 9:45:312014/4/1 9:45:31
Microwaving principles
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.

Microwave
stirrer
REFLECTION
The microwaves bounce off the metal walls
and the metal door screen.
Important notes
The dish used to cook or reheat the food
will get warm during cooking, as the heat
conducts from the food. Even in
microwaving, oven gloves are required!
MICROWAVES CAN NOT PASS THROUGH
METAL AND THEREFORE METAL
COOKING UTENSILS CAN NEVER BE
USED IN A MICROWAVE, FOR COOKING
ON MICROWAVE ONLY.
How microwaves cook food
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 4-5 cm (1½-2 inches)
and as heat spreads through the food by
conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the
food cooks from the outside inwards.
Foods not suitable for cooking by
microwave only
Yorkshire pudding and souffl es. This is
because these foods rely on dry external
heat to cook correctly, do not attempt to cook
by microwave.
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).
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.
Boiled eggs
Do not boil eggs in your microwave. Raw
eggs boiled in their shells can explode and
cause serious injury.

General guidelines
Standing time
Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and
cakes, require a STANDING TIME (inside or
outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow
heat to fi nish conducting through the food.
Jacket potatoes
Wrapped in aluminium foil when cooked by
microwave only. It is not necessary to stand
jacket potatoes cooked in COMBINATION
mode.
Stand for 15 mins.
Fish
Stand for 2-3 mins.
Egg dishes
Stand for 1-2 mins.
Precooked convenience food
Stand for 2-3 mins.
Moisture content
Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables
and fruit, vary in their 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 during storage so cooking
times may differ from ingredients
freshly purchased.
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.
Meat joints
Stand 15 mins wrapped in aluminium foil.
Plated meals
Stand for 2-3 mins.
Vegetables
Boiled potatoes benefi t from standing for
1-2 mins, however most other types of
vegetables can be served immediately.
Defrosting
It is essential to allow standing time to
complete the process. This can vary from
5 mins e.g. raspberries, to up to 1 hour for
a joint of meat. See pages 31-32.
If food is not cooked after STANDING
TIME, return to oven and cook for
additional time.
Cling fi lm
Cling fi lm 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 fi lm from a dish
as the build-up of steam will be
very hot. Always purchase cling
fi lm that states on the packet
“suitable for microwave
cooking” and use as a covering
only. Do not line dishes with
cling fi lm. Do not cover foods
when cooking by GRILL,
CONVECTION or
COMBINATION.
20
PA_F0003BH72BP_00_140331.indd 20PA_F0003BH72BP_00_140331.indd 20 2014/4/1 9:45:312014/4/1 9:45:31
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.
Quantity
Small quantities cook faster
than large quantities, also small
meals will reheat more quickly
than large portions.
Spacing
Foods cook more quickly and
evenly if spaced apart. NEVER
pile foods on top of each other.
Shape
Even shapes cook evenly.
Food cooks better by
microwave when in a round
container rather than square.
Density
Porous airy foods heat more
quickly than dense heavy foods.
Covering
Cover foods with microwave
cling fi lm or a self-fi tting lid.
Cover fi sh, vegetables,
casseroles, soups. Do not cover
cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes,
pastry items. Please refer to
cooking charts and recipes for
more information.
Arranging
Individual foods e.g. chicken
portions or chops, should be
placed in a dish so that the
thicker parts are to the outside.
Ingredients
Foods containing fat, sugar or
salt heat up very quickly. The
fi lling 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.
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 5-8 °C before cooking.
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 especially must be stirred
before and during heating, to
avoid eruption. Do not heat
liquids that have previously
been boiled.
DO NOT OVERHEAT.
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 conventional 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 catalytic
lining at the back and top of the
oven cavity is self-cleaning.
See page 10 point 3.

PA_F0003BH72BP_00_140331.indd 21PA_F0003BH72BP_00_140331.indd 21 2014/4/1 9:45:312014/4/1 9:45:31
Containers to use
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.
When unsure that a cooking container is
suitable for use in your microwave, check by
the following test:
1. Fill a microwave safe measuring jug with
300 ml (½ pt) 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
measuring jug on top of the empty dish.
3. Heat on HIGH power for 1 minute.
Quick check guide to cooking utensils
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.
China and ceramic
Everyday glazed china,
porcelain or ceramic plates,
bowls, mugs and cups can be
used if they are heat resistant.
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.
Result
If the dish is suitable for microwaving, 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 obviously
absorbing microwave energy.
Note
This test does not apply to plastic or metal
based containers e.g. Le Creuset® style
dishes, which should not be used as they
are cast iron covered with enamel.
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.
Foil/metal containers
NEVER ATTEMPT TO COOK IN
FOIL OR METAL containers 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,
convection and grill + convection
modes and may be used with care
during certain combination cooking
as long as they are not damaged
or dented.

DO NOT USE UNDER THE GRILL.
but do not use for cooking foods
®
containers if they are designed
Do not use Melamine. Never
cook in margarine cartons or

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
fi bres.
If you are using branded re-cycled kitchen
towel, check fi rst that it is recommended for
microwave use. Do not use waxed or plastic
coated cups or plates as the fi nish may
melt. Greaseproof paper can be used to line
the base of dishes and to cover when blind
baking pastry cases. White paper plates can
be used for SHORT REHEATING TIMES, on
Microwave only.
be used for microwave
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.
Cling fi lm
Microwave cling fi lm 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 fi lm
being in direct contact with the food eg. Do
not line dishes with cling fi lm. 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 cooking by Microwave, as the
microwaves cannot pass through the foil, this
prevents the parts shielded from overcooking
or over defrosting. 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.
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, Combination or
Turbo-cook.
