cleaning or placing in water.
4. The glass tray can turn in either direction.
5. If the food or cooking vessel on the glass
tray touches the oven walls and stops the
tray rotating, the tray will automatically
rotate in the opposite direction. This is
normal.
6. Do not cook foods directly on the glass
tray, except when cooking Jacket Potatoes
in microwave mode.
Roller Ring
1. The roller ring and the oven floor should be
cleaned frequently to prevent noise and
build-up of remaining food.

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.

appliance for defrosting. All packaging material should be removed where possible. If it is difficult
to remove the the packing, start defrosting at 1000W for 1-2 minutes. Place the food onto a plate
to defrost.
With the meat/fish program put food on an upturned saucer, so the meat juices can drip off.
Under no circumstance should this meat juice be re-used or come into contact with other foods.
When thawing out with the auto-weight programs standing time is necessary, until the food is
thawed out completely or can be processed further. Depending upon weight and type of the food
up to 90 minutes may be required.

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 authorized Service
Center.
Q: My microwave oven causes interference
with my TV. 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: 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.
English
En-23
Questions and Answers
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
Microwave pad once and Stop/Cancel pad 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, glass tray, and roller ring on
CONVECTION 250°C for 20 minutes. 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.

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. It is occasionally necessary to remove the
glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in
warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.
8. The roller ring and oven cavity floor
should be cleaned regularly to avoid
excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom
surface of the oven with mild detergent
and hot water then dry with a clean cloth.
The roller ring may be washed in mild
soapy water. Cooking vapours collect
during repeated use but in no way affects
the bottom surface or roller ring wheels.
After removing the roller ring from the
cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to
replace it in the proper position.
9. 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.
10. A steam cleaner is not to be used for
cleaning.
11. This oven should only be serviced by
qualified personnel. For maintenance and
repair of the oven contact the nearest
authorized dealer.
12. 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.
13. 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.

Which containers to use?
For microwave cooking
• Only use white kitchen paper for short
amounts of time. Do not use patterned
kitchen paper.
• Only use plastic which is microwave-safe. Do
not use melamine.
• Do not cook foods with a high fat or sugar
content in plastic containers.
• Only use straw or wicker containers for very
short amounts of time. Make sure they do
not have metal fastenings.
• Only use earthenware or stoneware
containers if they are completely enamelled.
• To use the accessories provided with your
oven please refer to the guidelines on page 7
of your operating instructions.
• DO NOT use porcelain with gold or silver
decoration. Sparks could be produced which
would damage the decoration.
For combination cooking
• You can use smooth metal moulds during
combination cooking by placing them on the
metal tray. For more details please refer to
page 10. Do not use spring form tins or
enamelled iron kitchenware.
• If you see any sparks, turn off the oven and
continue to cook using the traditional
methods (grill, turbogrill or convection
heating) or, if possible, change the container
used.
• DO NOT place metal containers directly on
the wire rack.

1. Fill a microwave safe measuring jug with
300ml of cold water.
2. Place this bowl next to the container you
want to test, on the glass tray. If the
container to be tested is very wide, place
the measuring bowl inside it.
3. Heat on MAX for 1 minute.
Result
If the container is suitable for microwaves, it
will stay the same temperature whilst the water
will be warm. If the container seems hot, that
means it absorbs microwave energy.
Therefore you cannot use it in Microwave
mode.
Note: This test cannot be used for plastic
containers or containers which are completely
enamelled, such as Le Creuset ® cookware,
as these dishes have cast iron underneath the
layers of enamel.

How do microwaves work?
Microwaves have three properties:
In conventional cooking, the hotplate or oven has to heat up first, then the baking dish, before the
heat can reach the food.
This is a long process which wastes a lot of energy. With microwaves, however, the heat reaches
the food directly, with no detours on the way.
The microwaves penetrate the food directly and cause the water, fat or sugar molecules to
vibrate. The friction caused by this produces heat, which then heats the food directly (like when
we rub our hands together to warm them).
This property is called absorption, in other words the transfer of microwave energy to the water
molecules.
Microwaves also have the property of passing through certain materials, in particular glass,
porcelain, ceramic or even paper, without heating up the material itself. If the containers do get
hot, it is because heat is transferred to them from the hot food.
However, microwaves are reflected off metal, so they bounce off the walls and the metal door
screen, back onto the food.
This is why, for microwave cooking, no metal containers or plates with gold or silver decoration
can be used.
