Important Notice

The IEC (60705) power output (watts) 1000W E The heating category for small packs of food Microwave symbol

Your oven is rated 1000 Watts (IEC). When using other cookbooks remember to adjust cooking times accordingly. The symbol above, which is displayed on your oven door, indicates the heating category for your oven when cooking or reheating convenience foods.

Your oven is rated 'E', which is very efficient. It is therefore very important that you refer carefully to the packet instructions on convenience foods. Some packet instructions only display information for B or D rated ovens. We therefore provide additional guidelines for reheating on pages 38-41 of this book. ALWAYS check the progress of the food as it cooks or reheats by simply opening the door and after checking the progress of the foods press START to continue the cooking time.

Failure to follow the instructions given in this Cookbook and Operating Instructions, may affect the recipe result and in some instances may be dangerous.

Welcome to Panasonic Microwave Cooking

Dear Owner,

Thank you for purchasing a Panasonic Microwave Oven.

Even if this is not your first microwave oven, do please read the opening chapters of this cookbook to achieve perfect results every time.

INVERTER

This microwave oven has the benefit of the Inverter System Inside. The new unique technology has been in use with microwave ovens in Japan for many years, improving the cooking performance of the oven. It also means that you benefit from having more space inside your oven, without taking up more room on your work surface.

Microwaves leave most foods tastier and leave you with less washing up, but don't expect to become a perfect microwave cook overnight - some of the methods are very different to those used in conventional cooking.

At our busy Test and Development Kitchen in Bracknell, Home Economists program the ovens especially for the UK market. The recipes are tested many times to ensure you achieve successful results at home.

We hope you enjoy using your new oven but should you require any further help or explanation, phone our

If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or it's service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

N.B. The appliance should be inspected for damage to the door seals and door seal areas. If these areas are damaged the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by a service technician trained by the manufacturer.

Placement of your oven

1. Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface 850mm above floor level. For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow, i.e. 5cm/2" at one side, the other being open; 15cm/6" clear over the top; 10cm/4" at the rear.

1. Do not place the microwave oven on a shelf directly above a gas or electric hob. This may be a safety hazard and the oven may be

2. Do not block air vents on the rear and bottom or top of the cabinet. Do not place any articles on the top of the oven over the vents. If air vents are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat. If the oven overheats, a thermal safety device will turn the oven off. The oven will remain inoperable with blank display until it has cooled.

3. Do not use outdoors.

Before using your oven

1. 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.
2. 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. Care should be taken to avoid touching the heating elements inside the oven.

N.B. After cooking by these modes, the oven accessories will be very hot.

1. The accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use.

2. Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use. Ensure that children do not touch the hot outer casing after operation of the oven.

5. Storage of Accessories

Do not store any objects other than oven accessories inside the oven in case it is accidentally turned on. In case of electronic failure, oven can only be turned off at wall socket.

6. Before Use

Before using CONVECTION, COMBINATION or GRILL function for the first time operate the oven without food and accessories (including glass turntable and roller ring) on CONVECTION 250 °C for 5 mins. This will allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be burned off. This is the only time that the oven is operated empty.

CAUTION: Grill element and oven will be hot. DO NOT OPERATE THE OVEN EMPTY.

(Apart from in point 6 above).

The appliance must not be operated by Microwave or Combination WITHOUT FOOD IN THE OVEN.

Operation when empty will damage the appliance.

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.

1. Switch the oven off before cleaning and unplug at socket if possible.
2. Keep the inside of the oven, door seals and door seal areas clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, door seals and door seal areas wipe off with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if they get very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is not recommended.
3. After using CONVECTION, GRILL or COMBINATION cooking the walls of the oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth squeezed in soapy water. Particular care should be taken to keep the window area clean particularly after cooking by CONVECTION, GRILL or COMBINATION. Stubborn spots inside the oven can be removed by using a small amount of branded conventional oven-cleaner sprayed onto a soft damp cloth. Wipe onto problem spots, leave for recommended time and then wipe off. Avoid the microwave feed guide area and the door. DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN.
4. The outside oven surface should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.

5. If the Control Panel becomes dirty, clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on Control Panel. When cleaning the Control Panel, leave the oven door open to prevent the oven from accidentally turning on. After cleaning touch STOP/CANCEL Pad to clear display window.

6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit or microwave leakage.

7. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass turntable for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm soapy water. Do not place in the dishwasher.
8. The roller ring and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven, particularly the turntable spindle and the area surrounding this, with mild detergent and hot water then dry with a clean cloth. The roller ring may be washed in mild soapy water. Cooking vapours collect during repeated use but in no way affect the bottom surface or the roller ring wheels. After removing the roller ring from cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace it in the proper position.
9. When GRILLING or cooking by COMBINATION or CONVECTION some foods may splatter grease onto the oven walls. If the oven is not cleaned to eliminate this grease, it can accumulate and cause the oven to 'SMOKE' during use. These marks will be more difficult to clean later.
   10.A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.

Maintenance of your oven

1. Service

WHEN YOUR OVEN REQUIRES A SERVICE call your local Panasonic engineer (Customer Care Centre on 08705 357357 can recommend an

engineer). It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

2. Door Seals

Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to door, control panel housing, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven. Do not remove outer panel from oven. The door seals and door seal areas should always be kept clean – use a damp cloth.

N.B. The appliance should be inspected for damage to the door seals and door seal areas. If these areas are damaged the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by a service technician trained by the manufacturer.

3. Oven Light

The oven lamp must be replaced by a service technician trained by the manufacturer. DO NOT attempt to remove the outer casing from the oven.

4. Selected Spares and Accessories

These may be ordered direct; on line at www.panasonic.co.uk or by telephoning the Customer Care Centre 08705 357357. Most major credit and debit cards accepted. Ensure you quote the correct model number.

Parts of Your Oven

1. Do not operate the oven without the Roller Ring and Glass Turntable in place.
2. Only use the Glass Turntable specifically designed for this oven. Do not substitute with any other Glass Turntable.
3. If Glass Turntable is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water.
4. Do not cook directly on Glass Turntable. Always place food in a microwave safe dish. The only exception to this is when cooking Jacket Potatoes on microwave only.
5. If food or utensil on Glass Turntable touches oven walls, causing the turntable to stop moving, it will automatically rotate in the opposite direction. This is normal. Open oven door, reposition the food and restart.

6. The Glass Turntable can rotate in either direction. The maximum weight that can be placed on the turntable is 4kg (8lb 14oz) (this includes total weight of food and dish.)

7. While cooking by MICROWAVE or COMBINATION, turntable may vibrate. This will not affect cooking performance.

8. The metal accessories provided must ONLY be used as directed for Grilling, Convection and Combination cooking. Never use them on microwave only. Do not use if operating the oven with less than 200g (7oz) of food on a manual Combination program. FAILURE TO USE ACCESSORIES CORRECTLY COULD DAMAGE 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. For CONVECTION and COMBINATION cooking the metal tray must ALWAYS be in place on the glass turntable.

Important Information – Read Carefully

Safety

If smoke or a fire occurs in the oven, press Stop/Cancel button 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.

Short Cooking Times

As microwave cooking times are much shorter than other cooking methods it is essential that recommended cooking times are not exceeded without first checking the food.

Cooking times given in the cookbook are approximate. Factors that may affect cooking times are: preferred degree of cooking, starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of foods and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust these factors.

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.

Important.

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.

1. Small Quantities of Food.

Take care when heating small quantities of food as these can easily burn, dry out or catch fire if cooked too long. Always set short cooking times and check the food frequently.

NEVER OPERATE THE OVEN WITHOUT FOOD INSIDE ON MICROWAVE OR COMBINATION.

2. Foods Low in Moisture.

Take care when heating foods low in moisture, e.g. bread items, chocolate, popcorn, biscuits and pastries. These can easily burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long.

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.

4. Boiled Eggs.

Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave heating has ended.

5. Foods with Skins.

Potatoes, apples, egg yolk, whole vegetables and sausages are examples of food with non porous skins. These must be pierced using a fork before cooking to prevent bursting.

6. Liquids.

Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. When heating liquids, eg 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 boll 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 heating time.
d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing the container.
e) Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care should be taken when handling the container.

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.

8. Deep Fat Frying.

Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.

Important Information – Read Carefully

9. Meat Thermometer.

Use a meat thermometer to check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry only when meat has been removed from the microwave. If undercooked, return to the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the recommended power level. Do not leave a conventional meat thermometer in the oven when microwave

10. Paper, Plastic.

When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition. Do not use wire twist-ties with roasting bags as arcing will occur.

Do not use re-cycled paper products, e.g. Kitchen roll unless they say they are specifically designed for use in a microwave oven. These products contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used.

11. Reheating.

It is essential that reheated food is served "plping hot".

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. (If you wish you may choose to check the food has reached 72°C with a food thermometer – but remember do not use this thermometer)

Cartoon illustration of a character pushing a computer next to a vertical scale with number 72 (no text or symbols on the character or background)

For foods that cannot be stirred, e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, the centre should be cut with a knife to test it is well heated through. Even if a manufacturer's packet instructions have been followed always check the food is piping hot before serving and if in doubt return your food to the oven for further heating.

12. 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.

13. Keeping Your Oven Clean.

It is essential for the safe operation of the oven that it is wiped out regularly. Use warm soapy water, squeeze the cloth out well and use to remove any grease or food from the interior. Pay particular attention to the door seal area and also the areas around the microwave feed guide situated on the rig wall. The oven should be unplugged whe

14. Grilling.

The oven will only operate on the GRILL function with the door closed.

15. Fan Motor Operation.

After using the microwave oven, the fan motor may operate 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.

16. Containers.

Before use check that utensils/containers are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

17. Babies Bottles and Food Jars.

When reheating babies bottles always remove top and teat. Liquid at the top of the bottle will be much hotter than that at the bottom and must be shaken thoroughly before checking the temperature. The lid must also be removed from babies food jars, the contents or shaken before the temperature is checked carried out before consumption in order to

18. Arcing

Arcing may occur if a metal container has been used incorrectly, if the incorrect weight of food is used, or if the accessories have been damaged. Arcing is when blue flashes of light are seen in the microwave oven. If this occurs, stop the machine immediately. If the oven is left unattended and this continues it can damage the machine.

You can continue to cook by GRILL OR CONVECTION ONLY.

19. Maximum weight on turntable

The maximum weight that can be placed on the turntable is 4kg (8lb 14oz) (this includes total weight of food and dish.)

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

Waveguide Magnetron Oven Cavity Turntable 13 Amp fuc

In a microwave oven, electricity is converted into microwaves by the MAGNETRON.

13 Amp fused socket

REFLECTION

The microwaves bounce off the metal walls and the metal door screen.

Diagram of a pitcher with directional arrows indicating flow or measurement direction

TRANSMISSION

Then they pass through the cooking containers to be absorbed by the water molecules in the food, all foods contain water to a more or lesser extent.

The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate which causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This heat then cooks the food. Microwaves are also attracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods high in these will cook more quickly. Microwaves can only penetrate to a depth of 1 12 -2 inches (4-5 cm) and as heat spreads through the food by conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the food cooks from the outside inwards.

IMPORTANT NOTES

The dish used to cook or reheat the food will get warm during cooking, as the heat conducts from the food. Even in microwaving, oven gloves are required!

MICROWAVES CANNOT PASS THROUGH METAL AND THEREFORE METAL COOKING UTENSILS CAN NEVER BE USED IN A MICROWAVE, FOR COOKING ON MICROWAVE ONLY

Foods Not Suitable for Cooking by Microwave Only

Yorkshire Puddings, Souffles, Double Crust Pastry Pies.

Because these foods rely on dry external heat to cook correctly, do not attempt to cook by microwave.

Foods that require deep fat frying cannot be cooked either.

Boiled Eggs

Do not boil eggs in your microwave. Raw eggs boiled in their shells can explode and cause serious injury.

STANDING TIME

When a microwave oven is switched off, the food will continue to cook by conduction – NOT BY MICROWAVE ENERGY. Hence STANDING TIME is very important in microwaving, particularly for dense foods i.e. meat, cakes and reheated meals (Refer to page 9).

General Guidelines

STANDING TIME

Black-and-white photo of a circular object and two rectangular objects with no visible text or symbols

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.

■ MEAT JOINTS – Stand 15 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil.
■ JACKET POTATOES – Stand 5 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil.
LIGHT CAKES - Stand 5 mins. before removing from dish.
■ RICH DENSE CAKES – Stand 15-20 mins.
FISH - Stand 2-5 mins.
■ EGG DISHES – Stand 2-3 mins.
■ PRECOOKED CONVENIENCE FOODS – Stand for 5 mins.
■ PLATED MEALS – Stand for 2-5 mins.
■ VEGETABLES -- Boiled potatoes benefit from standing 1-2 mins., however most other types of vegetables can be served immediately.
■ DEFROSTING – It is essential to allow standing time to complete the process. This can vary from 5 mins. e.g. raspberries, to up to 1 hour for a joint of meat.
If food is not cooked after STANDING TIME, return to oven and cook for additional time.

PIERCING

The skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to build up during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should be peeled off

Close-up of a small bowl with a spoon inserted, possibly a container or pot (no visible text or symbols)

before cooking to allow the steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc., will all need to be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.

MOISTURE CONTENT

Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in their moisture content throughout the season. Jacket potatoes are a

Abstract black-and-white ink blot pattern with no discernible text or symbols

particular example of this. For this reason cooking times may have to be adjusted throughout the year. Dry ingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry out further during storage and cooking times may differ from ingredients freshly purchased.

CLING FILM

Cling film helps keep the food moist and the trapped steam assists in speeding up cooking times. However it should be pierced before cooking, to

60 CLING FILM 60 CLING FILM

allow excess steam to escape. Always take care when removing cling film from a dish as the build-up of steam will be very hot. Always purchase cling film that states on the packet "suitable for microwave cooking" and use as a covering only. Do not line dishes with cling film. Do not cover foods when cooking by Combination, Convection or Grill.

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.

Abstract black ink blot on white background, no text or symbols present

SHAPE

Even shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by microwave when in a round container rather than square.

DENSITY

Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods.

Black-and-white illustration of two abstract, textured shapes resembling fruits or organic forms (no text or symbols)

COVERING

Cover foods with microwave cling film or a self-fitting lid. Cover fish, vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes, sauces, jacket potatoes, pastry items.

ARRANGING

Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are to the outside.

STARTING TEMPERATURE

The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature.

TURNING AND STIRRING

Some foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and poultry should be turned after half the cooking time.

LIQUIDS

All liquids must be stirred before and during heating. Water especially must be stirred before and during heating, to avoid eruption. Do not heat liquids that have previously been boiled. DO NOT OVERHEAT.

CHECKING FOOD

It is essential that food is checked during and after a recommended cooking time, even if an AUTO PROGRAM has been used (just as you would check food cooked in a conventional oven). Return the food to the oven for further cooking if necessary.

Black-and-white photo of a person sitting at a desk with a computer monitor in the background (no visible text or symbols)

CLEANING

As microwaves work on food particles, keep your oven clean at all times. Stubborn spots of food can be removed by using a branded oven cleaner, sprayed onto a soft cloth, always wipe the oven dry after cleaning. Avoid any plastic parts and door area.

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.

Black-and-white photo of a large circular object with a smaller circular feature, possibly a device or component (no visible text or symbols)

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 ( ^1/2 pt) cold water.
2. Place it on the turntable alongside the dish to be tested. If the dish you are testing is a large dish, then stand the measuring jug on top of the empty dish.
3. Heat on HIGH power for 1 minute.

Result

If the dish is suitable for microwaving, it will remain cool, whilst the water in the jug will begin to feel warm. If the testing dish feels warm, do not use as it is obviously absorbing microwave energy.

N.B. This test does not apply to plastic or metal based containers e.g. Le Creuset® style dishes, which should not be used as they are cast iron covered with enamel.

OVEN GLASS

Everyday glass that is heat resistant e.g. Pyrex®, is ideal for Microwave, Convection or Combination cooking. DO NOT USE FOR GRILLING. Do not use delicate glass or lead crystal which may crack or arc.

POTTERY, EARTHENWARE, STONEWARE

If completely glazed, these dishes are suitable. Do not use if partially glazed or unglazed, since they are able to absorb water which in turn absorbs microwave energy, making the container very hot and slows down the cooking of food.

CHINA AND CERAMIC

Everyday glazed china, porcelain or ceramic plates, bowls, mugs and cups can be used if they are heat resistant. Fine bone china should only be used for reheating for short periods. Do not use dishes with a metal rim or pattern. Do not use jugs or mugs with glued handles, since the glue can

melt. If dishes are heat resistant they may be used on Convection and Combination but not directly under the Grill.

FOIL/METAL CONTAINERS

NEVER ATTEMPT TO COOK IN FOIL OR METAL containers on Microwave only as the microwaves cannot pass through and the food will not heat evenly, it may also damage your oven. Small items in shallow foil containers can be REHEATED in the microwave, as

Black-and-white photo of a mechanical device with a mounted sensor or motor (no visible text or symbols)

long as containers do not touch the oven walls or door. Foil and metal containers can be used on Grill and Convection modes and may be used with care during certain Combination cooking, as long as they are not damaged or dented.

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.

Black-and-white abstract illustration of circular and petal-like shapes with no visible text or symbols

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.

CLING FILM

Microwave cling film can only be used for covering food that is reheated by

CINIC BIMAKO WRAP

microwave. It is also useful for covering food to be cooked, but care should be taken to avoid the film being in direct contact with the food. DO NOT USE ON ANY OTHER COOKING MODE.

ROASTING BAGS

Roasting bags are useful when slit up one side to tent a joint, for roasting by power and time. Do not use the metal twists supplied, when using Microwave or Combination.

PAPER

Plain white absorbent kitchen paper (kitchen towel) can only be used for microwave cooking e.g. covering blind pastry cases and for covering bacon to prevent splattering. ONLY USE FOR SHORT COOKING TIMES. NEVER RE-USE A PIECE OF KITCHEN TOWEL. ALWAYS USE A FRESH PIECE OF PAPER FOR EACH DISH.

Avoid kitchen paper containing manmade fibres. If you are using branded re-cycled kitchen towel, check first that it is recommended for microwave use. Do not use waxed or plastic coated cups or plates as the finish may melt. Greaseproof paper can be used to line the base of dishes and to cover fatty foods e.g. bacon rashers, to stop splattering. White paper plates can be used for SHORT REHEATING TIMES, on Microwave only.

ALUMINIUM FOIL

Small amounts of smooth aluminium foil can be used to SHIELD joints of meat during defrosting and cooking by Microwave, as the microwaves cannot pass through the foil, this prevents the parts shielded from overcooking or overdefrosting. Take care that the foil does not touch the sides or roof of the oven, as this may cause arcing and damage your oven. Aluminium foil can be used for Convection cooking.

Microwave Cooking and Defrosting

ACCESSORY TO USE:

Circular object with internal markings, possibly a petri dish or container (no visible text or symbols)

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.

e.g. High power 10 minutes followed by Simmer power 20 minutes; Select High power and program 10 minutes then select second power (Simmer) with second cooking time (20 minutes) then press Start.

Three Stage Cooking:

e.g. High power 5 minutes, Delay 5 minutes, High power 2 minutes; Select first Power level and cooking time, then press DELAY and time, then select final power level and final cooking time. Then press Start.

Auto Weight Defrost

With this feature you can defrost frozen foods according to the weight. Select the category and set the weight of the food. The weight can be programmed in pounds and ounces or grams. The weight starts from the minimum weight for each category.

graph LR
    A["CHAOS DEFROST"] --> B["g | lb oz"]
    B --> C["up"]
    C --> D["down"]
    D --> E["Start"]

- Select the desired program by • Press to select g or lb and oz. • Enter the weight by pressing the Up & Down pads. The "up" pad will start with the minimum weight for each food.

Program	Weight Range	Suitable Foods
1 Bread	100 - 900g (4oz - 2lb)	Bread and rolls. Turn at beep.
2 Meat Items	200 - 1200g (7oz - 2lb 10oz)	Small pieces of meat, minced meat, chicken portions, steaks, chops. Turn at beeps.
3 Meat Joints	400 - 2500g (14oz - 5lb 8oz)	Whole chicken, meat joints. Turn at beeps and shield.

Auto Weight Defrost Programs

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 16).

Foods should be placed in a suitable dish, whole chickens and joints of meat should be on an upturned saucer or on a rack. Chops, chicken portions and slices of bread should be placed in a single layer. It is not necessary to cover the foods.

The CHAOS Theory principle is used in Auto Weight defrost programs to give you a quick and more even defrost.

The CHAOS system uses a random sequence of pulsing microwave energy which speeds up the defrosting process.

During the program the oven will beep to remind you to check the food.

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU TURN AND STIR THE FOOD FREQUENTLY AND SHIELD IF NECESSARY (See page 18).

On hearing the first beep you should TURN and SHIELD (if possible). On the second beep you should turn the food or break it up.

CATEGORY 1 BREAD

The Bread Program is suitable for defrosting small items e.g. rolls, buns and slices of bread which are required for immediate use. Small items may feel warm immediately after defrosting. Loaves can also be defrosted on this program but these will require standing time to allow the centre to thaw out. Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated and buns and loaves cut in half. Items should be turned halfway during defrosting. THIS PROGRAM IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CREAM CAKES OR DESSERTS e.g. cheesecake.

CATEGORY 2 MEAT ITEMS (MINCE/CHOPS/CHICKEN PORTIONS)

It is necessary for mince to be broken up frequently during defrosting and this is best carried out in a large shallow dish. Chops and chicken portions should be arranged in a single layer and turned frequently.

CATEGORY 3 MEAT JOINTS/WHOLE CHICKENS

Meat joints and chickens will require shielding during defrosting especially if they are particularly fatty pieces. This is to prevent over defrosting on the outside edges. Smooth foil secured with cocktail sticks should be used. DO NOT ALLOW THE FOIL TO TOUCH THE WALLS OF THE OVEN. Back fat of joints, legs, wings and breast bones need shielding (see photograph above). Standing time of at least 1 hour should be allowed (rolled joints may require longer) before cooking to ensure the centre is fully defrosted.

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. The automatic stand times ensure a more even defrost but it is still necessary to allow for standing time before use. Place foods in a suitable container. Meat joints and chickens should be placed on an upturned saucer or on a plastic rack if you have one.

TIPS

1 Check foods during defrosting. Foods vary in their defrosting speed.

2 It is not necessary to cover the food.

3 Always turn or stir the food especially when the oven "beeps". Shield if necessary (see point 5).

4 Minced meat/chops/chicken portions should be broken up or separated as soon as possible and placed in a single layer.

5 Shielding prevents food cooking. It is essential when defrosting chickens and joints of meat. The outside thaws out first, so protect wings/breast/fat with smooth pieces of aluminium foil secured with cocktail sticks.

6 Allow standing time so that the centre of the food thaws out. (minimum 1 hour for joints of meat and whole chickens)

Defrosting Foods Using Defrost Power & Time

The times given below are a guideline only. Always check the progress of the food by opening the oven door and then re-starting. For larger quantities adjust times accordingly. Food should not be covered during defrosting.

Combination Cooking

Your oven has three methods of cooking by Combination.

1. Convection and Microwave

2. Grill and Microwave

3. TURBO-BAKE and Microwave

COMBINATION cooking is ideal for many foods. The microwave power cooks them quickly, whilst the oven, grill or both gives the traditional browning and crispness.

All this happens simultaneously resulting in most foods being cooked in 1/2-2/3 of the conventional cooking time.

There is no need to preheat on COMBINATION programs, EXCEPT when cooking pastry.

It is possible to use smooth seamed metal tins and foil containers on COMBINATION but they must be placed directly onto the metal tray on the glass turntable. They must not be placed directly onto the Low Rack, or arcing will occur.

If you experience arcing, which is when you see blue sparks or hear crackling noises, the metal container is unsuitable or you have insufficient food in the oven. You should stop the program immediately and change the

container or re-program to CONVECTION only.

To cook successfully by COMBINATION you should always use a minimum of 200 g (7oz) food. Small quantities should be cooked by Convection, Grill or TURBO-BAKE.

CAUTIONS:

The oven will automatically work on HIGH microwave power if a cooking time is entered without the power level previously being selected.

Take care to use oven gloves when removing dishes from the oven - especially when turning or stirring foods as the oven walls and roof will be very hot.

\* NOTE:

When placing food in the oven after preheating, just open the door using the Door Release Pad, because if STOP/CANCEL Pad is pressed the program may be cancelled. Then, if the time was entered, the oven would revert to cooking on microwave only.

CONTAINERS TO USE

DO NOT use plastic MICROWAVE containers on Combination Programs (unless suitable for combination cooking). Dishes must be able to withstand the heat of the top grill - heatproof glass e.g. Pyrex® or ceramic are ideal. But do not put dishes on High Rack directly under the grill, use the Low Rack.

OVEN ACCESSORIES

When using any Combination cooking program the Glass Turntable should be in position and must have the Metal Tray placed on top.

Combination 1. Convection and Microwave

This is the most popular combination mode combining convection heat with microwave power. Casseroles, meat joints, jacket potatoes and pastries are very successful using this combination. Unsuitable foods are those which contain whisked eggs, meringues, rich fruit cakes, biscuits and yorkshire puddings.

It is not necessary to preheat on combination except when cooking pastry dishes, to achieve a better result. For pastry dishes preheat oven to 210°C on Convection so that the oven is hot, and then select the desired Combination program.

- Press Combination Pad.
- Press to select oven temperature. The oven starts at 150°C, and then for each press the temperature will count up in 10°C stages to 250°C, then to 100°C, 110°C etc.
- Press Micro Power Pad to select Microwave setting. HIGH & DEFROST are not available.
- Press to enter required cooking time. 10 sec pad is inoperable.
- Press Start Pad.

CAUTION:

The oven will automatically work on HIGH Microwave Power if a cooking time is entered without the power level previously being selected.

Guidelines for Use

The Auto Weight Programs are designed to take the guesswork out of cocking or reheating your food. They must ONLY be used for the foods described.

1. Only cook foods within the weight ranges described (see table below).
2. Only use the accessories as indicated on pages 35-36.
3. DO NOT cover food unless stated, as programs 7-14 use a Combination of Microwave and Grill and/or Convection and it will prevent the food browning. The heat of the grill will also melt any plastic covering.
4. Most foods benefit from a STANDING time after cooking on an Auto Program, to allow heat to continue conducting to the centre.
5. To allow for some variations that occur in food, check that food is thoroughly cooked and piping hot before serving.
6. ALWAYS weigh the chicken, DO NOT rely on the packet weight.

Cooking and Reheating Guidelines

Most foods reheat very quickly in your oven by HIGH power. Meals can be brought back to serving temperature in just minutes and will taste freshly cooked and NOT leftover. Always check food is piping hot and return to oven if necessary.

As a general rule, always cover wet foods, e.g. soups, casseroles and plated meals.

Do not cover dry foods e.g. bread rolls, mince pies, sausage rolls etc.

The charts on pages 38-48 show you the best way to cook or reheat your favourite foods. The best method depends on the type of food.

Remember when cooking or reheating any food that it should be stirred or turned wherever possible. This ensures even cooking or reheating on the outside and in the centre.

When is food reheated?

Food that has been reheated or cooked should be served "piping hot" i.e. steam should be visibly emitted from all parts. As long as good hygiene practices have been followed during the preparation and storage of the food, then cooking or reheating presents no safety risks.

Foods that cannot be stirred should be cut with a knife to test that they are adequately heated throughout. Even if a manufacturer's instructions or the times in the cookbook have been followed, it is still important to check the food is heated thoroughly. If in doubt, always return to the oven for further reheating.

If you cannot find the equivalent food in the chart then choose a similar type and size listed and adjust the cooking time if necessary.

PLATED MEALS

Everyone's appetite varies and reheat times depend on meal contents. Dense items e.g. mashed potato, should be spread out well. If a lot of gravy is added, extra time may be required. Place denser items to the outside of the plate. Between 3-5 mins. on HIGH power will reheat an average portion. If stacking two meals, heat on HIGH power for 6-7 mins. and change the meals over halfway.

CANNED FOODS

Remove foods from can and place in a suitable dish before heating.

SOUPS

Use a bowl and stir before heating and at least once through reheat time and again at the end.

CASSEROLES

Stir halfway through and again at the end of heating.

MINCE PIES - CAUTION

REMEMBER even if the pastry is cold to the touch, the filling will be piping hot and will warm the pastry through. Take care not to overheat otherwise burning can occur due to the high fat and sugar content of the filling. Check the temperature of the filling before consuming to avoid burning your mouth.

CHRISTMAS PUDDINGS AND LIQUIDS - CAUTION

Take great care when reheating these items. See Page 6.

Do not leave unattended.

Do not add extra alcohol.

BABIES' BOTTLES - CAUTION

Milk or formula MUST be shaken thoroughly before heating and again at the end and tested carefully before feeding a baby.

For 7-8 fl.oz. of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teal. Heat on HIGH power for 25-30 secs. CHECK CAREFULLY.

For 3 fl.oz. of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat. Heat on HIGH power for 10-15 secs. CHECK CAREFULLY.

N.B. Liquid at top of bottle will be much hotter than at bottom and bottle must be shaken thoroughly.

Reheating Charts

The times given in the charts below are a guideline only, and will vary depending on STARTING temperature, dish size etc.

HEATING CATEGORY

Increasing and Decreasing Recipes

INCREASING RECIPES

• To Increase a recipe from 4 to 6 servings, increase each ingredient listed by half. To double the quantity, simply double every ingredient listed.
• Do not forget that large quantities will require a larger dish. Make sure that it is deep enough to prevent the recipe from boiling over during cooking.
• Cover as directed in the recipe. Stir or rearrange foods as recommended.
• Increase the stand times by 5 mins. per lb.
  • Always check the recipe during cooking.
• When increasing the ingredients to 6 servings, add an extra one third of the original cooking time, i.e.. 30 mins. on MEDIUM power

for 4 servings will become 40 mins. on MEDIUM power for 6 servings.
- When doubling a recipe from 4 to 8 add on half the original cooking time, i.e. 30 mins. on MEDIUM power for 4 servings will become 45 mins. on MEDIUM power for 8 servings.

DECREASING RECIPES

• To decrease a recipe from 4 servings to 2 servings, halve the ingredients listed.
• Choose a dish that is proportionally smaller than the one recommended in the recipe, however make sure it is deep enough to stop food boiling over.
• Allow half to two-thirds of the original cooking time, i.e. 30 mins. on MEDIUM power for 4 servings will become 15-20 mins. on MEDIUM power for 2 servings.

Using Recipes from Other Books

The best way to convert a family favourite dish is to find a similar recipe in a cookery book to give you a guide to the correct method and timings to use.

Many cookbooks refer to 650W ovens, however since 1990 oven output powers have been set by a new standard (IEC). When using

other cookbooks, the 1000 W output power of your oven must be allowed for. Use the same power level suggested e.g. HIGH or MEDIUM and select the same cooking time suggested, however CHECK the progress of the food during cooking and adjust the time if necessary.

Cooking for One

• For one serving quarter ALL ingredients listed.
- Choose a dish that is proportionally smaller than the one recommended in the recipe.
- Use the same cooking power recommended in the original recipe.
- Start by cooking for one quarter of the recommended cooking time, although extra time in most cases will be required.

• Always check the food during cooking.
- There is not a great saving for reduced quantities of soups, casseroles, stews and rice, as a minimum time is required to tenderise meats and blend flavours.
- When cooking for one it often makes sense to cook for two and plate up both meals. Freeze one meal for a later date.

Fish

Fish cooks very well by microwave as it stays moist and the lingering fish smells left in conventional ovens are avoided.

WHEN IS FISH COOKED?

Fish is cooked when it flakes easily and becomes opaque.

A plate of food items arranged in a row, possibly baked goods or a dessert (no visible text or symbols)

ARRANGING

Thin fillets of fish i.e. plaice, should be rolled up prior to cooking to avoid overcooking on the thinner outside edge and tail.

Fish steaks should be arranged in a circle, thicker part to the outside. Cover with cling film or lid.

For fish with a strong odour, eliminate the smell after cooking by placing 600 ml (1 pt) of boiling water and 1 sliced lemon in a large bowl, cook on SIMMER for 20 mins. Wipe out oven with a dry cloth.

LIQUID

Fresh fish should always be sprinkled with 30 ml (2 tbsp) of lemon juice, white wine or water.

When cooking Frozen fish, add liquid as above for even cooking.

Do not sprinkle salt onto fish before cooking as this may make the fish dry.

WHOLE FISH

If cooking 2 whole fish together, they should be arranged head to tail for even cooking.

Large whole fish must have the tail and head shielded halfway through cooking with smooth pieces of tin foil secured with cocktail sticks.

NOISE

During cooking, popping sounds may be heard. This is due to moisture trapped between the flesh, particularly with oily fish such as salmon and mackerel. This can be minimised when cooking if the skin and flesh is pierced several times with a cocktail stick.

Meat and Poultry

Guidelines

DEFROSTED JOINTS

If the meat has previously been frozen, ensure it is properly thawed before cooking by microwave. Defrosted joints of meat must be allowed to STAND for a minimum of 1 hour. before cooking to ensure the centre is fully defrosted.

FAT

Large amounts of fat absorb microwave energy and can cause the meat next to it to overcook. Always choose joints that aren't excessively fatty.

Abstract sketch of a circular, textured object with no visible text or symbols

How to roast a joint by microwave

To roast basic joints of meat place the joint onto the rack of a microwave roasting set and cover with a dome lid. Alternatively use a large, shallow dish and place the joint on an upturned saucer and cover with cling film.

ROASTING BAGS

Roasting bags are useful when split up one side to tent a joint for roasting by power and time.

Do not use the metal twists supplied.

STANDING TIME

Meat and poultry require a minimum of 15 mins. STANDING TIME wrapped in aluminium foil after cooking by microwave. Roast meat is always easier to carve after STANDING and the meat will continue to cook during the STAND TIME.

BONE

Bone tips on legs of lamb and crown roasts may need shielding when cooked by microwave, to prevent overcooking.

Close-up of a dark, circular object with radial lines, possibly a container or mechanical component (no visible text or symbols)

How to cook small cuts of meat by microwave

Some cuts of meat can be cooked successfully by microwave although due to their short cooking times and no heat source, they will not crisp and brown.

They should always be cooked on a microwave rack to lift them out of their juices.

TURNING

Joints and poultry should be turned over halfway through cooking.

SHIELDING

Large joints may need shielding with pieces of smooth aluminium foil after half the cooking time to avoid overcooking on the outside edges. Turkeys and large chickens should have their breast meat, legs and wings protected. Secure foil with cocktail sticks and do not allow foil to touch the walls of the oven.

How to roast a joint by Combination

Place the joint on Low Rack in Metal Tray and place on Glass Turntable.

TIPS

Braised and stewed meat cooked in a microwave has a slightly firm texture and therefore it is essential to purchase good quality meats.

Questions and Answers

Q My microwave oven causes interference with my TV, is this normal?

Q My oven has an odour and generates smoke when using the CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILL function. Why?

Q Sometimes warm air comes from the oven vents. Why?

A Some radio and TV 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, hair dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.

A It is essential that your oven is wiped out regularly particularly after cooking by COMBINATION or GRILL. Any fat and grease that builds up will begin to smoke if not cleaned.

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 flow pattern in the oven. There isn't an airtight seal to the air therefore steam can escape. There are no microwaves in the air, or steam. The oven vents should never be blocked during cooking.

Building-in Your Oven

Model NN-A773 (stainless steel) can not be built in, no Trim-Kit is available.

1. In case of fitting into an oven housing, please use Panasonic's Trim Kit.

NN-TKA70W - White NN-TKA70M - Silver NN-TKA70A - Aluminum

1. Microwave ovens should not be built into a unit directly above a top front venting conventional cooker. This will invalidate your one year guarantee.

2. A microwave which is built in must be more than 850 mm above floor level. Read Trim-Kit instructions carefully before installation.

It is recommended that the microwave oven is placed below a conventional oven to avoid heat damage to the facia of the microwave.

However if it is necessary to install the microwave above, then a gap of at least 15 cm (6 inches) is required from the top of the conventional oven casing to the bottom of the trim kit.
