Inverter technology is the key
Inverter technology for microwave ovens has been developed by a Panasonic initiative over a period of more than 10 years. It is the key
technology for making a very different type of microwave oven which has a number of special qualities:
• It makes possible the first oven in the industry which controls the amount of microwave energy linearly. This new distribution system allows
cooking and defrosting food without losing its flavour.
• It provides efficient conversion of electrical energy to microwave energy, resulting in minimizing power requirements without
sacrificing microwave output.
• It allows a dramatic enlargement of oven cavity size even in a compact oven body, due to the small size of the inverter circuit, which replaces
the currently used bulky transformer.
• Finally, at the end of the productʼs useful life, not using bulky transformers made of iron makes the process of recycling discarded ovens
environmentally friendly.

Safety Instructions
Use of your oven
1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than the preparation of
food. This oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food. Do not
use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food products.
2. Before use, check that utensils/containers are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
3. Do not attempt to use this microwave oven to dry newspaper,
clothing or any other materials. They may catch on fire.
4. When the oven is not being used, do not store any objects other
than oven accessories inside the oven in case it is accidentally
turned on.
5. The appliance shall not be operated by MICROWAVE or
COMBINATION WITHOUT FOOD IN THE OVEN. Operation in this
manner may damage the appliance. Exception to this is point 1
under heater operation and pre-heating the pizza pan.
6. If smoke or a fire occurs in the oven, press Stop/Cancel Pad and
leave the door closed in order to stifle any flames. Disconnect the
power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or the circuit breaker panel.
7. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
Heater Operation
1. Before using 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 Grill, 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 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 of the oven. After using
the 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 when in grill and 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
If the oven gets hot after use, the fan may rotate for a few minutes to
cool the electric components. This is perfectly normal, and you can take
out the food from the oven while the fan is still in operation.
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.

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.
Wire Rack
1. The Wire 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 Wire Rack in

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 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.
