Your Panasonic oven is equipped with the latest technology, known as Inverter technology. This unique technology has long been used in Japan for microwave ovens, and offers a dramatic improvement in the cooking performance of your oven. The system also reduces the number of components, giving the oven a greater internal volume and a reduced weight, but without taking up extra space on your work surface.

Thank you for purchasing this Panasonic appliance.

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.

Stirrer motor Waveguide

In a microwave oven, electricity is converted into microwaves by the Magnetron. For bottom feeding, please refer to page 24 of operating instructions.

The microwaves bounce off the metal walls and the metal door screen.

Important note

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!

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 and as heat

spreads through the food by conduction, just

as in a traditional oven, the food cooks from

the outside inwards.

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.

Cling lm

Cling 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 lm from a dish

as the build-up of steam will be very hot. Always purchase cling

lm that states on the packet

“suitable for microwave cooking” and use as a covering only. Do not line dishes with

cling lm. Do not cover foods

when cooking by

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. pile foods on top of each other.

Never

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 lm or a self-tting lid. Cover 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

lling may be much hotter than

the pastry. Take care when eating. 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.

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.

Oven cooking

Oven heating allows you to cook food using top and bottom heat. No microwaves are used in oven heating mode: you can

therefore use any metal dishes or heatresistant containers.

NB: temperatures between 40 and 100 °C, which are not used in traditional cooking, are not available on this oven.

Preheating

Remember to preheat the oven for the best results when cooking meat, cakes and pastries. It is preferable not to open the oven door whilst it is preheating. Do not preheat

the oven with the accessory inside.

Accessories

You can cook food directly on the Square Panacrunch Pan in the lower or upper shelf positions. Or you can place your standard metal baking tins and ovenware on the Square Panacrunch Pan in the lower shelf position. Do not place tins and ovenware

directly on the base of the oven in oven mode.

Recommended for puff pastry, cookies, roll cakes, brioche, sponge cakes, pizzas and tarts.

There are 3 different steam levels available. Use the steam mode to cook vegetables,

sh, chicken and rice.

The oven has 3 steam settings: 1 tap Steam 1 2 taps Steam 2 3 taps Steam 3

Accessories and containers

When steaming place food directly on the oven accessory in the upper shelf position. For steaming larger food items, place the accessory in the lower shelf position. During steaming, cooking juices collect in the watercourse of the pan. (see page 33 of the

operating instructions).

Note

For steam shot refer to pages 34-35 of the operating instructions.

Caution

The accessories and surrounding oven will get very hot. Use oven gloves. When removing the food or cooking accessories, hot water may drip from the oven

top. Steam may billow out when you open the door. If there is steam in the oven, do not

reach in with your bare hands! Risk of burns! Use oven gloves. Take care when removing the drip tray. Wipe any water that drips from the left side

of the oven. This is normal.

Combination cooking

English

What is combination cooking?

Combination cooking adds microwaves to the traditional cooking process in order to obtain the taste of traditionally cooked food whilst reducing cooking times by a third or by half.

How does it work?

Follow the instructions on pages 36-39 of the Operating Instructions.

Warning!

Choose the cooking methods in the correct order. The combined cooking methods in this book are given in the order from which they can be chosen. During cooking, simply touching Oven will display the temperature used. The temperature can be changed by tapping Oven whilst the temperature is displayed, however it is not possible to change the microwave power during combination cooking.

When to preheat?

For slow-cooking, simmering, large pieces

of meat, poultry, most cakes, ans and

gratins it is not necessary to preheat the oven. For short cooking times, small pieces of meat (cooking times of less than 20 minutes), tarts, pies, desserts using puff

pastry, it is necessary to preheat the oven.

For combination cooking using the grill only,

the oven must not and cannot be preheated.

The inside of the oven is smaller than

that of a traditional oven, therefore take

extra care not to burn yourself when you

put the dish into the oven.

With preheating

It is only possible to preheat on Steam and

Oven mode. Choose combination cooking

then touch Start before entering the cooking

time.

Preheating takes place without

microwaves being used. Do not preheat

with the accessory in place. When the

oven reaches the required temperature,

it makes 3 beeps and “P” ashes in the

display. Put the dish into the oven (without

touching the Stop/Cancel), choose the

cooking time and touch Start. Unless you do

this, the oven will maintain its temperature

for 30 minutes then turn itself off.

Without preheating

Choose combination cooking, display the

cooking time and then touch Start.

Combination cooking - containers and accessories

English

For most recipes, it is best to use containers which are both microwave safe and heat resistant (Pyrex® or ovenproof porcelain).

 If you notice any sparks, stop the oven and continue cooking using oven heating or, if possible change the container.

 Do not use porcelain with gold or silver

 Do not use cling lm during combination

Reheating and cooking guidelines

Most foods reheat very quickly in your oven by 1000 W power. Meals can be brought back to serving temperature in just minutes and will taste freshly cooked. Always check food is piping hot and return to oven if necessary.

As a general rule, always cover wet foods, e.g. soups, casseroles and plated meals. Do not cover dry foods e.g. bread rolls, mince pies, sausage rolls etc.

The charts on pages 14-21 show you the best way to cook or reheat your favourite foods. The best method depends on the type of food.

The heat method i.e. Microwave only or combination depends on the food to be reheated. For foods that do not require browning, reheat by microwave only.

Remember when cooking or reheating any food that it should be stirred or turned wherever possible. This ensures even cooking or reheating on the outside and in the centre.

When is food reheated?

Food that has been reheated or cooked should be served “piping hot” i.e. steam should be visibly emitted from all parts. As long as good hygiene practices have been followed during the preparation and storage of the food, then cooking or reheating presents no safety risks.

If you cannot nd the equivalent food in

the chart then choose a similar type and size listed and adjust the cooking time if necessary.

Remember even if the pastry is cold to the

touch, the lling will be piping hot and will

warm the pastry through. Take care not to overheat otherwise burning can occur due to the high fat and sugar content of the

lling. Check the temperature of the lling

before consuming to avoid burning your mouth.

Do not leave unattended. Do not add extra alcohol.

Caution - Babies’ bottles

Milk or formula thoroughly before heating and again at the end and tested carefully before feeding a baby. Liquid at the top of the bottle will be much hotter than at the bottom. The bottle must be shaken thoroughly and tested before use.

12 EN

Foods that cannot be stirred should be cut with a knife to test that they are adequately

heated throughout. Even if a manufacturer’s

instructions or the times in the cookbook have been followed, it is still important to check the food is heated thoroughly. If in doubt, always return to the oven for further reheating.

Reheating and cooking guidelines

Canned foods

Remove foods from can and place in a suitable dish before heating.

Soups

Use a bowl and stir before heating and at least once through reheat time and again at the end.

Casseroles

Stir halfway through and again at the end of heating.

Plated meals

Everyone’s appetite varies and reheat times

depend on meal contents. Dense items e.g. mashed potato, should be spread out well. If a lot of gravy is added, extra time may be required. Place denser items to the outside of the plate. Between 4-7 minutes. on 1000 W power will reheat an average portion.

Defrosting guidelines

English

The biggest problem when defrosting food in a microwave is to get the inside defrosted before the outside starts to cook. For this reason Panasonic have made the defrosting on your oven cyclic defrost, just select the 270 W power level and set the required time. The oven then divides this time into 8 stages. These stages alternate between defrosting (total of 4) and standing (total of 4).

During the standing stages there is no microwave power in the oven, although the light will remain on. The automatic stand times ensure a more even defrost and for small items the usual stand time can be

eliminated.

Tips for defrosting

Check the defrosting several times, even if you use the auto programs. Observe the standing times.

Standing times

Individual portions of food may be cooked almost immediately after defrosting. It is normal for large portions of food to be frozen in the centre. Before cooking, allow to stand for a minimum of one hour During this standing time, the temperature becomes evenly distributed and the food is defrosted by conduction. N.B. If the food is not going to be cooked immediately, store it in the refrigerator. Never refreeze defrosted food

without rst cooking it.

Small portions of food

Chops and chicken pieces must be separated as soon as possible so that they defrost evenly throughout. Fatty parts and the ends defrost more quickly. Place them near the centre of a glass dish or protect them.

Bread

Loaves will require a standing time of 5-15 minutes to allow the centre to thaw. Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated and rolls and loaves cut in half.

Beep Sounds

Beeps will sound during the Auto Defrost programs. The beeps are to remind you to check, stir, separate the pieces, or shield small parts. Failure to do this may result in uneven defrosting.

Joints and poultry

It is preferable to place the joints on an upturned plate or plastic rack so that they are not resting in the juices. It is essential to protect delicate or projecting parts of this food with small pieces of foil to prevent these parts from cooking.

It is not dangerous to use small pieces of foil in your oven, provided they do not come into contact with the oven walls.

Minced meat or cubes of meat and seafood

Since the outside of these foods quickly defrosts, it is necessary to separate them, break the blocks into pieces frequently while defrosting and remove them when they have defrosted.

Meat and poultry

Your oven allows you to cook meat using combination cooking (Grill + Microwave), ideal for small pieces of meat or poultry. Traditional methods - oven heating, for roasting meat and poultry. Grill only for

small pieces or specic recipes. Microwave only can be used to quickly nish cooking a

fricassee, poultry in sauce or meat cooked on the barbeque.

After cooking it is important to allow roast meat to stand out of the oven, wrapped in aluminium foil, for 10-15 minutes in order to complete cooking and make it easier to carve.

Accessories and containers

For manual combination cooking and grill only, for small at pieces of meat, it is

recommended to place the meat directly on the Square Panacrunch Pan in the lower or upper shelf positions. For larger items, place in a Pyrex® dish on base of oven. For oven mode only, place joints and poultry directly on the Square Panacrunch Pan in the lower shelf position. Do not cover.

Advice for combination cooking

Do not add salt to meat before cooking, this should be done afterwards.

It is important to check the food several times during cooking so you can adjust the cooking time if necessary.

Grill cooking

The grill will cook thin pieces of meat: cutlets, lamb chops, sausages. It is recommended to preheat the grill.

Note

On oven, grill or combination, the meat must not be covered as it cooks with external heat.

Cooking with microwave only

White meat and pieces of poultry cook perfectly using microwaves, and this is the quickest method of cooking them. Microwave cooking is useful for small pieces of meat or poultry which will be served

in a sauce or to quickly nish cooking a

fricassee or meat cooked on the barbeque.

Place the pieces of meat in a dish which is microwave safe on the base of the oven. When cooking by microwave only, it is recommended to cover the meat with a lid

or cling lm in order to speed up the cooking

process and stop it spitting. It is normal to

nd a lot of liquid in the dish after cooking.

The speed of microwave cooking and the lack of radiant heat does not allow this liquid to evaporate as it does in traditional cooking. The loss of weight is not greater than it is for traditional cooking.

26 EN

Arrange the chicken legs or other poultry so that the most meaty parts are at the edge of the dish.

Oven cooking

You can roast meat in your oven in the traditional way by preheating the oven on oven mode, for white and red meat and poultry. Preheating is essential in order to seal the meat or poultry.

Meat and poultry

English

Stews and slow-cooked dishes

It is possible to cook stews using microwaves only, but it will not be any quicker than using a traditional cooking method. However, the meat will not stick to the bottom of the container, and less energy will be used. Use Pyrex® or ovenproof porcelain casseroles with lids.

Before: the vegetables should be cut into equal pieces and precooked. For many stew

recipes, it is necessary to our the pieces of

meat to ensure the sauce sticks to them.

During cooking, it is essential that the pieces of meat stay immersed in the liquid using a saucer or upside-down plate (to prevent the meat from drying out). As stews take a long time to cook and there can be a lot of evaporation, add more liquid during cooking if necessary. Cover the container with a lid in order to limit evaporation. Bring the stew to the boil at 1000 W for 10-15 minutes then continue the cooking for the required time using a low microwave power of 300 W.

Standing time:

After cooking it is important to cover the meat and allow it to stand out of the oven for

10-15 minutes, to allow the cooking to nish

and the temperature to even out.

Meat and poultry (Cooking time for 500g)

As meat will not be browned when using the microwave only, the microwave cooking times indicated below

are for meat that has rst been browned in a frying pan on all sides (pork, veal, lamb and beef) or for meat that does not need to be browned (poultry, rabbit llets). Meat should be turned over half-way through

cooking time and left to stand for 5-8 minutes at the end of cooking time unless otherwise indicated.
