The oven has an element situated in the top of the oven. After using the CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILL function, this surface will be very hot.
Care & Cleaning of your Microwave Oven IMPORTANT It is essential for the safe operation of the oven that it is kept clean, and wiped out after each use. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit or microwave leakage. 1.
Maintenance of your oven The door seals and door seal areas should always be kept clean – use a damp cloth. 1. Service WHEN YOUR OVEN REQUIRES A SERVICE call your local Panasonic engineer. You can look on the Panasonic web site (www.panasonic.co.uk) under the “Support” option, where a service dealer locater can be found or alternatively call our Customer Care Centre on 0844 8443868 who can recommend an engineer.
Parts of Your Oven 9. Arcing may occur if the incorrect weight of food is used, a metal container has been used incorrectly, or the accessories have been damaged. If this occurs, stop the machine immediately. You can continue to cook by GRILL OR CONVECTION ONLY. 10. Always refer to instructions for correct accessories to use on all programs. The glass turntable and roller ring are the only accessories used for Microwave Cooking.
Important Information – Read Carefully Safety 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. 3. Christmas Pudding. Christmas puddings and other foods high in fats or sugar, e.g. jam, mince pies, must not be over heated. These foods must never be left unattended as with over cooking these foods can ignite.
Important Information – Read Carefully 11. Reheating. It is essential that reheated food is served “piping hot”. 7. Lids. Always remove the lids of jars and containers and takeaway food containers before you microwave them. If you don’t then steam and pressure might build up inside and cause an explosion even after the microwave cooking has stopped. Remove the food from the oven and check that it is “piping hot”, i.e. steam is being emitted from all parts and any sauce is bubbling.
Important Information – Read Carefully 13. Standing Time. Standing time refers to the period at the end of cooking or reheating when food is left before being eaten, i.e. it is a rest time which allows the heat in the food to continue to conduct to the centre, thus eliminating cold spots. 18. Babies Bottles and Food Jars. When reheating babies bottles always remove top and teat.
Microwaving Principles Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in World War II. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and from manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones. HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD In a microwave oven, electricity is converted into microwaves by the MAGNETRON.
General Guidelines STANDING TIME Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require a STANDING TIME (inside or outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting to cook the centre completely. I I I I I I I I I I MEAT JOINTS – Stand 15 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil. JACKET POTATOES – Stand 5 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil after cooking by microwave only. LIGHT CAKES – Stand 5 mins. before removing from dish. RICH DENSE CAKES – Stand 15-20 mins. FISH – Stand 2-3 mins.
General Guidelines 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. NEVER pile foods on top of each other. SHAPE Even shapes cook evenly.
Containers to use Choosing the correct container is a very important factor in deciding the success or failure of your cooking. Testing Dishes for Suitability - For Microwave Cooking Only. When unsure that a cooking container is suitable for use in your microwave, check by the following test: 1. Fill a microwave safe measuring jug with 300ml (1⁄2pt) cold water. 2. Place it on the turntable alongside the dish to be tested.
Containers to use PLASTIC Many plastic containers are designed for microwave use, but do not use for cooking foods high in sugar or fat or for foods that require long cooking times e.g. brown rice. Only use Tupperware® containers if they are designed for microwave use. Do not use Melamine. Never cook in margarine cartons or yoghurt pots, as these will melt with the heat from the food. If heatproof they can be used for CONVECTION or COMBINATION cooking. DO NOT USE UNDER THE GRILL.

Microwave Cooking and Defrosting ACCESSORY TO USE: When using your oven on MICROWAVE only, the glass turntable provided must always be in position. DO NOT attempt to use microwave only with any metal accessory in the oven. DO NOT place food directly onto the turntable except in the case of Jacket Potatoes cooked by MICROWAVE only. Foods reheated or cooked by MICROWAVE only are normally covered with a lid or cling film, unless otherwise stated. Two Stage Cooking: e.g.
Auto Weight Defrost Programs Chaos Defrost This feature allows you to defrost minced meat, chops, chicken portions, meat joints and bread. The CHAOS defrost pad should be pressed to select the correct category and then enter in the weight of the food in grams or pounds and ounces using the appropriate pads (See page 19). Foods should be placed in a suitable dish, whole chickens and joints of meat should be on an upturned saucer or on a rack.
Defrosting Guidelines By selecting the DEFROST power level from the microwave power pad, and setting a time, you can defrost food in your microwave. The biggest problem is getting the inside defrosted before the outside starts to cook. For this reason a defrost program alternates between a defrost power and a standing time. The name for this type of defrost is cyclic and during the standing stages there is not any microwave power in the oven, although the light will remain on and the turntable will turn.
