Operating Instruction and Cook Book Microwave Oven Household Use Only Model No. NN-ST64JW © Panasonic Appliances Microwave Oven (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. 2018 F0003CA30QP PA0718-0 Printed in China F0003CA30QP_cover_180306.indd 所有页面 Please read these instructions carefully before using this product, and save this manual for future use.
We are glad you have chosen to purchase a PANASONIC microwave oven. Before operating this oven, please read these instructions carefully and completely, and keep them for further reference. If you have only used a microwave oven for reheating and defrosting, with Panasonic’s Inverter Technology you can be reassured of excellent results when cooking a variety of foods, as the ‘soft’ penetration of microwave energy to the centre of food helps prevent over cooking on edges and surfaces.

Important Safety Instructions READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE Precautions To Be Taken When Using Microwave Ovens For Heating Foodstuffs Important Instructions WARNING—To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or excessive microwave energy: INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE: A microwave oven should only be used if an inspection confirms all of the following conditions: 1. The door fits squarely and securely and opens and closes smoothly. 2.
Important Safety Instructions (continued) Earthing Instructions This microwave oven must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This microwave oven is equipped with a cord having an earthing wire with an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed. WARNING a) The door seals and door seal areas should be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Installation and General Instructions (continued) 13. Do not leave the microwave unattended while reheating or cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other combustible materials, as these types of containers can ignite if overheated. 14. The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and heating of warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire. 15.
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).
Cookware and Utensils Guide (continued) 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.

Before Requesting Service THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL The oven causes interference with my TV. Some radio, TV, Wi-Fi, cordless telephone, baby monitor, blue tooth or other wireless equipment 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. Steam accumulates on the oven door and warm air comes from the oven vents.
Care of your Microwave Oven Turn the oven off and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended. It is occasionally necessary to remove the Glass Tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.

Microwave Recipe Techniques Microwaves penetrate the surface of the food to a depth of about two to three centimetres and then the heat is gradually conducted in a random pattern. Some parts of food matter cook faster than others. Special microwave techniques are used to promote fast and even cooking. Some of these techniques are similar to those used in conventional cooking, but because microwaves produce heat very quickly the following techniques are extremely important.
Techniques for Preparation Covering Converting Your Favourite Conventional Recipes for Microwave Cooking Covering food minimizes the microwave cooking time. Because microwave cooking is done with time and not direct heat, the rate of evaporation cannot be easily controlled. However, this can be corrected by using different materials to cover dishes. Plastic wrap is the best substitute for a lid as it creates a tighter seal and so it retains more heat and steam.
Microwave Recipe Techniques Menu Planning for Microwave Cooking Increasing & Decreasing Recipes How to Keep Everything Hot at The Same Time Plan your meals so that the food will not all need last minute cooking or attention at the same time. The special features of microwave cookery make it easy to serve meals with everything piping hot. Cooking of some foods may be interrupted while you start others, without harming the nutritional value or flavour of either.
Converting Recipes from Other Sources General rules for reheating foods by Micro Power When the recipe is written with a wattage different Reheat than your oven, adjust the cooking time by approxi• Many convenience foods contain heating mately 10% per 100 watts, e.g. 6 minutes would be instructions on the packaging. It is best to follow adjusted by 36 seconds. Alternately, adjust the power these instructions, being sure to check the wattage level by one level.
Reheating by Micro Power - Frozen Pre-cooked Foods FROZEN ITEM (Pre-cooked) POWER TIME (in minutes) BREAD & BAKED PRODUCT Bread 1 slice 1 loaf 800 W 800 W 10 - 15 sec 1-3 6 rolls 600 W 1-2 Do not let bread get hot, or it will become rubbery and dry out. Remove whole loaf from original wrapper. Place on paper towel to absorb moisture. Cheesecake (450 g) 300 W 5-7 Remove from container. Defrost on plate. Muffins - 4 (400 g) 800 W 1 - 1½ Place onto paper towel lined plate.
IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN REHEATING COLD FOODS IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN REHEATING FOODS FROM THE FREEZER STARTING TEMPERATURE — Foods taken from the refrigerator will take longer to reheat than foods from room temperature. Quantity — One serving heats faster than several servings. When heating large quantities, stir food to ensure even heating. It is quicker to heat individual plates of food than large quantities in a casserole dish.
