Panacrunch pan

See 28 EN

Cooking times

 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 sufÀciently cooked you can always cook it for a little longer.

 Important!

If the recommended cooking times are exceeded the food will be spoiled and in extreme circumstances could catch Àre and possibly damage the interior of the oven.

Small quantities of foods

 Small quantities of food or foods with

low moisture content can burn, dry out or catch on Àre 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.

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.

Piercing Skin

 Food with non porous skins, such as

potatoes, egg yolks and sausages must be pierced before cooking by MICROWAVE to prevent bursting.

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 in the microwave oven because it may cause sparking.

Important safety instructions

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.

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 Àres during use.

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.

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.

Fan Motor operation

After using the oven the fan motor may rotate for a few minutes 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.

 Remove wire twist-ties from roasting

bags before placing the bags in the oven.

Panacrunch pan

The ‘Concept’

Some foods cooked by microwave can have soft and soggy crusts. Your Panacrunch Pan accessory will brown and crisp pizzas, quiches, pies, breaded products just as a conventional oven. Your Panasonic Panacrunch Pan works in three ways: heating the pan by absorbing microwaves, heating the food directly by microwaves and heating the food by the grill. The base of the pan absorbs the microwaves and transfers them into heat. Then the heat is conducted through the pan to the food. The heating effect is maximised by the non-stick surface.

Using the Panacrunch pan (Manual operation)

 For best results, pre-heat the pan

before using. Place directly on the glass tray and pre-heat on Microwave Max power for 3 minutes. To assist browning, brush the pan with oil before preheating for items such as sausages and cordon bleu.

 Remove the pan from the oven and

place the food in the pan. Use the Panacrunch pan handle or oven gloves as the pan will be very hot. For best results, it is important that the food is placed on the pan immediately after pre-heating. Performance cannot be guaranteed with a time delay.

 Notes:

1. Do not pre-heat the Pan more than 5 minutes. Preheating of the Pan can be stored using the memory function (see page 22 EN).

2. Always place the pan in the centre of the glass tray and ensure it does not touch the wall of the oven cavity. Failure to do so, may cause sparking which would damage the cavity.

3. Always use the Pan on the Glass tray. Do not use with the Wire Rack.

4. Always use the Panacrunch pan handle or oven gloves when handling the hot pan.

5. Ensure all food packaging is removed before cooking.

6. Do not place any heat-sensitive materials on the hot Pan as this may cause burning.

7. The Pan can be used in a

conventional oven.

8. For best results, use the Pan in

COMBINATION GRILL and MICROWAVE. Only Microwave mode (1000 W power) can be used for preheating the pan.

Care of the Pan

 NEVER cut the pizzas, quiches or any other food directly in the Panacrunch as this will damage the non-stick surface.

 After use, wash the pan in hot soapy

water and rinse in hot water. Do not use any abrasive cleaning substances or scouring pads as this will damage the surface of the pan.

 The pan is dishwasher safe.

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 Centre.

Q: My oven causes interference with my TV. Is this normal?

A: Some radio and TV interference might

occur when you cook with the 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.

English

may be used. If in a hurry, cook food manually by selecting the correct cooking mode and cooking time yourself.

Q: Can I use a conventional oven thermometer in the oven?

A: Only when you are using 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: 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 GRILL to create the combination setting. This is normal.

Q: My oven has an odour and generates smoke when using the 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 Grill for 5 minutes. This will burn off any food, residue or oil which may cause an odour and/or smoking.

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 Áow pattern in the oven. There are no microwaves in the air. The oven vents should never be blocked during cooking.

Q: I can’t set an auto sensor program and ‘HOT’ appears in the display. Why?

A: If the oven has previously been used

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

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.

Q The fan continues to rotate after cooking. Why?

A After using grill/combination, the fan

motor may rotate for 3 minutes to cool the electrical components. This is normal and you can continue using the oven at this time.
