Precautions to be taken when using Microwave Ovens for Heating foodstuffs

INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE. A microwave oven should only be used if an inspection confirms all of

the following conditions:

1.The grille is not damaged or broken.

2.The door fits squarely and securely and opens and closes smoothly.

3.The door hinges are in good condition.

4.The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are neither buckled nor deformed.

5.The door seals are neither covered with food nor

have large burn marks.

PRECAUTIONS. Microwave radiation from microwave ovens can cause harmful effects if the following precautions are not taken:

1.Never tamper with or deactivate the interlocking devices on the door.

2.Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while the oven is operating.

3.Never place saucepans, unopened cans or other heavy metal objects in the oven.

4.Do not let other metallic articles, e.g., fast food foil containers, touch the side of the oven.

5.Clean the oven cavity, the door and the seals with water and a mild detergent at regular intervals. Never use any form of abrasive cleaner that may scratch or scour surfaces around the door.

6.Always use the oven with trays or cookware

recommended by the manufacturer.

7.Never operate the oven without a load (i.e., an absorbing material such as food or water) in the oven cavity unless specifically allowed in the manufacturer’s literature.

8.For horizontally hinged doors, never rest heavy objects such as food containers on the door while it is open.

9.Do not place sealed containers in microwave ovens. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or a teat are considered to be sealed containers.

10.The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

11.Young children should be supervised to ensure that

they do not play with the appliance.

Important Instructions

WARNING—To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or excessive microwave energy:

1.Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.

2.Some products such as whole eggs and sealed

containers - (for example, closed glass jars	and
sealed baby bottles with teat	) - may explode and
should not be heated in the microwave oven.

Installation and General Instructions

General Use

1.In order to maintain high quality, do not operate the oven when empty. The microwave energy will

reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy.

2. If smoke is observed, press the	STOP/RESET
Pad and leave door closed in order to stifle any
flames. Disconnect the power cord, and/or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

3.Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in oven. They may catch on fire.

4.Do not use recycled paper products, 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 when used.

5.Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking.

6.Do not hit or strike the Control Panel. Damage to controls may occur.

7.POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from

food is transferred to the cooking container and from the container to the Glass Tray. The GlassTray can be very hot after removing the cooking container from the oven.

8.Do not store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard.

9.Do not cook food directly on Glass Tray unless indicated in recipes. (Food should be placed in a suitable cooking utensil.)

10.Do NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other

non-food products.		Do NOT	clean this oven with
any product that is labelled as containing corrosive
chemicals.	The heating of corrosive chemicals in

this oven may cause microwave radiation leaks.

11.Look at the oven from time to time when food is heated or cooked in disposal containers of plastic, paper or other combustible materials, as these types of containers ignite if overheated.

Placement of Oven

1.The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient

air flow. Allow 15 cm of space on the top of the oven, 10 cm at the back, and 5 cm on both sides.

If one side of the oven is placed flush to wall, the other side or top must not be blocked. Do not

remove feet.

a.Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may be overheated and

damaged. When using any cloth over the oven, the air intake and exhaust should not be blocked. Also should allow space on back and both sides of oven properly.

b.Do not place oven near a hot or damp surface

such as a gas stove, electric range

or sink etc.

c. Do not operate oven when room humidity is too high.

2.This oven was manufactured for household use only.

3.This oven may be built into a wall cabinet, if desired. This microwave oven is designed and approved for

use only with a genuine Panasonic trim kit for Model number listed in the operating instructions (page 75).

Installation with any other trim kit may void the warranty.

Circuits

Your microwave oven should be operated on a

separate 10 A circuit from other appliances. Failure to do this may cause the power board fuse to blow, and/or food to cook slower. Do not insert higher value fuse in the power board.

Food

1.Do not use your oven for home canning or the

heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the correct canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and

be dangerous to consume.

2.Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.

3.Do not boil eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs (unless otherwise stated in Cooking Guide section). Pressure will build up and the eggs will explode.

4.Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. This type of food must be pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting.

5.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 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 halfway through		cooking time.

d)After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.

6.DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN. To check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry use a MICROWAVE THERMOMETER.

Alternatively, a conventional meat thermometer may be used after the food is removed from the oven. If undercooked, return meat or poultry to the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the recommended power level. It is important to ensure that meat and poultry are thoroughly cooked.

7.COOKING TIMES given in the Cooking Guide

section are APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect cooking time are preferred degree of moisture content,

starting temperature, altitude, volume, size, shape of food and utensils used. As you become familiar with

the oven, you will be able to adjust for these factors. 8. It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN

OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further cooking. If

food is overcooked, nothing can be done. Always start with minimum cooking times recommended.

9.Extreme care should be taken when cooking popcorn in a microwave oven. Cook for minimum time as recommended by manufacturer. Use the directions suitable for the wattage of your microwave oven. NEVER leave oven unattended when popping popcorn.

10.When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently due to the possibility of ignition.

11.The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

Operation Before

Microwaves and How They Work

Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves similar to those used by a radio, including AM, FM and CB. They are similar to a television where the radio waves are converted to a picture on the screen. However, microwaves are much shorter than radio waves; approximately twelve centimetres wave

length. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube (which is the heart of the microwave oven).

From the magnetron tube, microwave energy is transmitted to the oven cavity through a small plastic covered piece. The microwaves are converted to heat in the food. The microwaves enter from the outside of the food and travel through the food losing half of their power every two to three centimetres. Continued cooking

to the centre occurs by conduction.

Although pacemakers used to be affected by microwaves (as well as by other radio waves), they are now shielded and are not bothered by these interferences. This allows people with pacemakers to sit calmly by their radio or television and cook with microwave ovens.

When microwaves come in contact with a substance, any one or combination of three things may occur. They can be:

1.REFLECTED

2.TRANSMITTED

3.ABSORBED

Reflection:

Metal substances REFLECT microwave energy and because there is no absorption, there is no heating. This is why the oven interior is either stainless steel or epoxy-coated steel. This ensures that the microwaves are kept inside the cavity and evenly distributed throughout the food with the help of the turntable.

Transmission:

Such substances as paper, glass and plastic TRANSMIT microwave energy and do not become hot except from food. Because these substances do not reflect or absorb microwave energy, they are ideal materials for microwave cooking containers.

Absorption:

Food contains moisture and will ABSORB microwave energy, which causes the moisture

molecules within the food to vibrate at an incredible

rate (2,450,000,000 times per second). Friction, created by the vibration, produces heat energy which

is conducted throughout the food.

Cookware and Utensil Guide

It is important to use the correct container when cooking in a microwave oven. The following will help you make the right selection.

How to Test a Container for Safe Microwave Oven Use

Fill a 1-cup glass measure with water and place it in the microwave oven along with the container to be

tested. Heat one minute on P10. If the container is microwave oven safe, it should remain comfortably

cool and the water should be hot. If the container becomes very hot, it has absorbed some microwave energy and should not be used. This test cannot be used for plastic containers.

Paper Products and Freezer Wrap

Waxed paper, paper plates, cups and napkins should not be used for heating or cooking food. Freezer wrap should not be used as it is not heat resistant and may melt. Paper towel, greaseproof paper and bake paper may be safely used for short periods of time for covering or lining.

Glass, Ceramic and China

Heat-Resistant glass cookware is invaluable in microwave cooking. Many of these items are readily

available in most homes: glass jugs, mixing bowls, loaf dishes, covered casseroles, oblong baking dishes, pie plates and round or square cake dishes. Examples of this type of cookware are Pyrex® and Corningware®.

Dinnerware	can be used for microwave heating.
Many brands of dinnerware are microwave safe.
Check the care information for reference to microwave
use for dinnerware and serving pieces. If dinnerware is
marked ovenproof, it frequently is safe to use in the
microwave oven. However, to be sure, check by
conducting microwave dish test previously mentioned.
Several types of glassware and dinnerware		are not
recommended for use in the microwave oven. Do not
use dishes with metallic trim or containers with metal
parts. Do not use cups or mugs with glued on handles,
as they may fall off with continued heating. Do not use

delicate glassware. Although the glassware may be transparent to microwave energy the heat from the food may cause the glassware to crack.

Cookware and Utensil Guide

Plastics

Plastic dishes, cups and some freezer containers should be used with care in a microwave oven.

Choose plastic containers carefully, as some plastic containers may become soft, melt and may scorch. The majority of plastic dishes, even those designed for use in the microwave oven, are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat or sugar content, or for lengthy cooking times. Most microwave plastic dishes should not be used for longer than 3 to 5 minutes on

P10 power. These dishes, although not suitable for extended cooking, may be used successfully for defrosting or for use on lower power levels.

Cooking Bags designed to withstand boiling, freezing, or conventional heating are microwave safe. Prepare bags according to manufacturer’s directions. When cooking by microwave, DO NOT use wire twist-ties to close bag. They can act as an antenna and cause arcing (sparks).

DO NOT COOK IN PLASTIC FOOD STORAGE BAGS.

Plastic Wrap such as GLAD WRAP® can be used to cover dishes in most recipes. Over an extended

heating time, some disfiguration of the wrap may occur. When removing plastic wrap “covers”, as well as any glass lid, be careful to remove it away from you to avoid steam burns.

Loosen plastic but let dish stand, covered.

Browning Dishes

Browning dishes are used to sear chops, meat

patties, steaks, etc.. A special coating on the bottom of the dish absorbs the microwave energy and

becomes very hot. When foods are added to the

dish, the result is a seared effect. Preheat the dish according to the manufacturer’s directions. Add food to be seared and heat according to recipe or

personal preference.

Use pot holders to remove the dish from the microwave oven. Do not use the browning dish on or in a conventional stove.

Remember:

Food can be covered with a loose sheet of absorbent towel to prevent splattering. Do not attempt to deep fry in the browning dish or microwave oven as you cannot control the temperature of the oil.

Note:

Browning dishes may no longer be available. This information is being supplied to assist people who own browning dishes.

(continued)

Metal

Metal cookware or utensils, or those with metallic trim, should NOT be used in the microwave. Since microwave energy is reflected by metal, foods in

metal containers will not cook evenly. There is also a possibility of “arcing.”

Although metal utensils should be avoided in microwave cooking, some metal can be helpful when used correctly.

Aluminum foil can be used safely, if certain guidelines are followed, to prevent overcooking. Small pieces of foil are used to shield areas such as chicken wings, tips of roasts, or other thin parts that cook before the rest of the recipe is finished. Make sure foil is attached securely and doesn’t touch sides of oven, otherwise arcing may occur. Foil lined containers, either cardboard or plastic, should NOT be used in

the microwave oven as arcing could occur.

Metal twist-ties, either paper or plastic coated, should NOT be used in the microwave oven. Frozen dinner trays can be used in the microwave, if the container is no deeper than 2 cm and is filled with food. Metal skewers can not be used in microwave ovens as arcing may occur. Wooden skewers are readily available and give the same result.

Shells: Scalloped baking shells are best used during reheating and for short periods of cooking time only.

Thermometers are available for use in microwave ovens. DO NOT USE CONVENTIONAL MERCURY

TYPE CANDY OR MEAT THERMOMETERS in food while cooking in the microwave oven.

Jars and Bottles

Jars and bottles can be used to warm food to serving temperature, if the lid is removed first. Cooking should not be done in these containers since most are not

heat resistant and during extended heating times, heat from food would cause cracking or breaking.

Straw, Wicker and Wood

Straw and wicker baskets may be used in the microwave oven for short periods of time to warm rolls or bread. Large wooden utensils, such as bowls or cutting boards should NOT be used for prolonged heating as the microwave energy may cause the

wood to become dry and brittle.

Defrosting Tips and Techniques

Preparation for Freezing:

1.Heavy-duty plastic wraps, bags and freezer wrap are suitable.

2.Freeze meats, poultry and fish in packages with only 1 or 2 layers of food. To aid in separating layers, place two pieces of wax paper between them.

3.REMOVE ALL AIR and seal securely.

4.LABEL package with type and cut of meat, date and weight.

5.Defrosting times given in the charts are for thoroughly frozen foods (i.e. at least 24 hours in freezer maintained at -18°C or lower).

Defrosting Technique:

1.Remove from wrapper and set on a defrosting rack in a dish on Glass Tray.

2.On Turbo Defrost, the oven may beep during the defrosting time. At “beep”, turn over all meat, poultry, fish and shellfish. Break apart stewing meat, chicken pieces and minced meat. Separate chops and hamburger patties.Shield thin ends of roasts, poultry legs and wings, fat or bones with foil.

3.Throughout the defrosting time, remove any defrosted portions of mince or cubed meat, etc.

4.After defrosting, large roasts may still be icy in the centre. Let stand, 15 to 30 minutes, in refrigerator to complete defrosting.
