Safety Instructions

Heater Operation

1. Before using CONVECTION, COMBINATION or GRILL function for the first time, wipe excessive oil off in the oven cavity and operate the oven without food and accessories on CONVECTION 250°C, for 10 minutes. This will allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be burned off. This is the only time the oven is used empty.

2. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILLING, take care when opening or closing the door and when inserting or removing food and accessories.

3. The oven has two heaters situated in the top and back of the oven. After using the CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILL function, these surfaces will be very hot. N.B. After cooking by these modes, the oven accessories will be very hot.

4. The accessible parts may become hot in combination use. Young children should be kept away, and children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperatures generated.

Fan Motor Operation

While the oven is in Microwave/Heater operation, the cooling fan always rotates to cool the electric components. After the completion of operation, the fan may continue rotating for a while.

Oven Light

When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult your dealer.

Accessories

The oven comes equipped with a variety of accessories. Always follow the directions given for use of the accessories.

Glass Tray

1. Do not operate the oven without the roller ring and the glass tray in place.

2. Never use another type of glass tray than the one specially designed for this oven.

3. If the glass tray is hot, let it cool before 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.

Roller Ring

1. The roller ring and the oven floor should be cleaned frequently to prevent noise and build-up of remaining food.

2. The roller ring must always be used for cooking together with the glass tray.

Metal Tray

1. Metal Tray is for cooking on Grill, Convection and Combination modes. Do not use the Metal Tray in Microwave mode only.

2. Metal Tray should be placed on Glass Tray or Round Rack.

Round Rack

1. The Round Rack is used to facilitate browning of small dishes and help with the good circulation of the heat.

2. Do not use any metal container directly on the Round Rack in COMBINATION with MICROWAVE.

3. Do not use the Round Rack in MICROWAVE mode only.

Enamel Shelf and Wire Shelf

1. The shelves are for cooking on convection and grill modes. Do not use the shelves on microwave mode or combination mode.

2. When cooking on convection mode, use just one or both of the shelves in position. When cooking on grill mode, use the shelf in the upper position.

Installation and Connection

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 will explode even after 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.

Auto Sensor Programs

A variety of food may be cooked without having to enter the cooking time, weight or the power level.

Plus/Minus Control:

Preferences for degree of cooking vary for each individual. After having used Auto Sensor Programs a few times, you may decide you would prefer your food cooked to a different degree of cooking. By using Plus/Minus control, the programs can be adjusted to cook food for a longer or shorter time. Press  or  pad before pressing Start Pad. If you are satisfied with the result of the Auto Sensor Programs, you do not have to use this control.

NOTE:

1. Auto Sensor Programs cannot work within 3 minutes after plug-in.

2. The oven automatically calculates the cooking time or the remaining cooking time.

3. The door should not be opened before the time appears in the display window.

4. The temperature for frozen food is assumed to be -18°C to -20°C, for other types of food +5°C to +8°C (refrigerator temperature). The reheat pasta/rice and reheat soup programs are suitable for foods at refrigerator or room temperature.

5. To prevent any mistakes during Auto Sensor Programs ensure that Glass Tray and the plate are dry.

6. The room temperature should not be more than 35°C and not less than 0°C.

7. Only cook foods within the recommended weight range described on page En-21.

8. If the oven has previously been used on Convection, Grill Convection, Combination or Grill, and it is too hot to be used on an Auto Sensor Program, “HOT” will appear in the display window. After the “HOT” disappears, the Auto Sensor Programs may be used. If in a hurry, cook food manually by selecting the correct cooking mode and cooking time yourself.

Questions and Answers

Q: Why won’t 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 won’t 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: Why is there no word prompt in my

display?

A: The power supply had been off at your home

or the plug disconnected. Repeat the procedure described on page 9.

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.

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.

“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 Clock Pad four times.

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.

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 10 minutes. This will burn off any food, residue or oil which may cause an odour and/or smoking.
