Installation and General Instructions
General Use
1. In order to maintain high quality, do not operate
the oven when empty. The microwave energy will
reflect 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 Stop/Cancel and
leave door closed in order to stifle any flames.
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 keys, slippers, sponges, damp
cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition
or fire.
4. Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials
in oven. They may catch on fire.
5. 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 fires
when used.
6. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.
7. Do not hit or strike control panel. Damage to
controls may occur.
8. 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 from the
oven.
9. Do not store flammable materials next to, on top of,
or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard.
10. Do not cook food directly on the base of oven
unless indicated in recipes. (Food should be placed
in a suitable cooking utensil.)
11. DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other
non-food products. DO NOT clean this oven with
any product that is labelled as containing corrosive
chemicals. The heating of corrosive chemicals
in this oven may cause microwave radiation
leaks.
12. When using the COMBINATION with microwave
mode, never place any aluminum or metal
container directly on the wire shelf, grill tray or
metal tray
13. Do not use the wire shelf, grill tray or metal tray
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 is cool 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. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not
allowed during microwave cooking.
17. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
.

Installation and General Instructions (continued)
Placement of the Oven
1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface,
more than 85 cm above the floor. For correct
operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow.
Allow 15 cm of space on the top of the oven, 10 cm
at back. If one side of the oven is 5 cm at one
side, 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 STEAM, GRILL, CONVECTION and
COMBINATION cooking as the top of the oven
gets very hot. Also allow sufficient 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 oven was manufactured for household use
only.
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-
TK81LCSCP) which may be purchased from your
local Panasonic dealer.
2. In case of fitting into an oven housing, please use
Panasonic’s Trim Kit, NN-TK81LCSCP.
3. Microwave ovens should not be built into a unit
directly above a top front venting conventional
. This may be a safety hazard and could
cooker
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 floor level. Read TrimKit 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. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs
should not be heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode, even after microwave heating
has ended.
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 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 cooking 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 must be
taken when handling 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.
- 8 -
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,
keep an eye on the oven 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
Reflection:
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.
Transmission:
Such substances as paper, glass and plastic
TRANSMIT microwave energy and do not become
hot except from food. Because these substances do
not reflect 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.
- 9 -
Microwaves and How They Work (continued)
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 1000 W. 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
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 1000 W. 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 twistties
to close bag. They can act as an antenna and cause
arcing (sparks).
DO NOT COOK IN PLASTIC FOOD STORAGE
BAGS. Cling Film such as GLAD WRAP® can
be used to cover dishes in most recipes. Over an
extended heating time, some disfiguration of the wrap
may occur. When removing cling film “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 first. 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 reflected 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 finished. 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 filled 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.
