Diagram of a plug with wires and a cable, showing electrical connections (no text or symbols)

When an outlet is not earthed:

It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly earthed outlet.

Voltage and Power

The voltage used must be the same as specified on the oven. Using a higher voltage than that which is specified is dangerous, and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing damage.

Service

It is dangerous for anyone other than a service technician trained by the manufacturer to perform repair service.

Do not remove the outer casing of the oven. High voltages are present inside the cabinet. Repairs and adjustments should be done only by qualified service personnel, using manufacturer's genuine replacement parts. Contact the manufacturer.

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.

Operation when empty

The appliance must not be operated WITHOUT FOOD IN THE OVEN. Operation when empty will damage the appliance.

Cord/Plug

If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the special cord with metal plate available only from manufacturer.

Do not immerse cord, plug or oven in water.

Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or work top. Do not plug your oven in via an extension cable as this can be dangerous. It is important to plug the oven directly into a wall socket.

Placement of Oven

Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface and can be stacked as required.

For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow to the air vents i.e. 5 cm (2 inches) at the side and rear.

Shelves

Do not place the oven on a shelf directly above or beside a gas or electric hob or cooker. The oven may be damaged. It is dangerous to position this oven on a shelf which is so high that food cannot be safely removed by the user.

Maximum Room Temperature

Do not operate the oven when the room temperature is higher than 40°C (104°F) and/or the humidity is more than 90%. Free airflow around the oven is important.

Interference

There is a possibility of a small amount of interference with weak broadcast signals if the oven is too close to a radio or TV.

Important Information on Application and Operation—Read Carefully

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 time charts 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 on fire if cooked too long. Always set short cooking times and check the food frequently. N.B. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

NEVER OPERATE THE OVEN WITHOUT FOOD INSIDE.

2. Foods low in moisture

Take care when heating foods low in moisture, e.g. bread items, chocolate, 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, eg. 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

Do not boil eggs in their shell in your microwave. Raw eggs boiled in their shells can explode causing injury.

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

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 heating time.
d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short time, stirring again before carefully removing 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. When foods require a cover use a suitable plate or pierced cling film.

8. Deep Fat Frying

Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.

9. Temperature Probe

Use a temperature probe to check the degree of cooking of food only when it has been removed from the microwave. If undercooked, return to the oven and cook for a little longer at the recommended power level. Do not leave a probe in the oven when microwaving.

10. Paper, Plastic

Carefully attend the appliance if paper, plastic or other combustible materials are used as containers or for covering. 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 at the required temperature according to current food safety (temp. control) regulations.

Remove the food from the oven and check that it is "piping hot". ie steam is being emitted from all parts and any sauce is bubbling. Check the food has reached the required temp. with a temperature probe—but remember do not use this inside the microwave.

Even if cooking instructions have been followed always check the food 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, ie. 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 or a food sanitizer solution, squeeze the cloth out well and use to remove any grease or food from the interior. The oven should be unplugged when cleaning.

14. Containers

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

15. 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 must also be stirred or shaken before the temperature is checked.

Caution

Examine your Oven

Unpack oven, retain all packing material. and examine the oven for any damage such as dents. broken door latches or cracks in the door. Notify supplier immediately if unit is damaged. N.B. DO NOT install if unit is damaged.

Removal of protective film

A protective film is used to prevent scratching of the outer case during transportation. Peel this film off before installation or use.

Do not block the air vents.

This Microwave Oven requires free airflow in the back for maximum cooling efficiency. You should keep the air vents clear while cooking.

Do not dry cloths in the oven.

Do not dry cloths in the Microwave Oven since there is a possibility of the cloths burning if left in the oven for too long of a time.

Outdoor Use

Do not use outdoors.

Smoke/Fire

During heating, if smoke is observed, keep the oven door closed, and switch off or disconnect the oven from the supply. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, press STOP Pad. Switch off at socket and remove plug. If possible shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel

WARNING

1. The appliance should be inspected for damage to the door seals and door seal areas and if these areas are damaged the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by service technician trained by the manufacturer, using genuine replacement parts.
2. Storage of accessories. When the oven is not being used, do not store any objects inside the oven in case it is accidentally turned on. In case of electronic failure, oven can only be turned off at wall socket.
3. Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

Cookware

1. Before using the oven always check that containers are suitable. DO NOT MICROWAVE sealed containers as they may explode.
   N.B. Always check manufacturer's instructions as some food manufacturers are producing food in containers that do not require piercing.
2. DO NOT leave the appliance unattended if paper, plastic or other combustible containers are used. Do not use re-cycled paper products, as they may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used, unless packaging states they are specifically designed for MICROWAVE use.
3. Heat-proof glassware, such as Pyroceram and Pyrex, is best suited for use in the Microwave Oven.
4. Do not use metal ware, ceramics trimmed with gold or silver, or any container with a metal content.
5. If "arcing" should occur, check the cookware carefully again for metal.
6. You may use ordinary glassware, chinaware, plastic-ware and paper-ware, when cooking food that requires a low temperature. Using this type of cookware for high temperature cooking may cause cracking or warping.

CAUTION

Do not use METAL UTENSILS in this oven.

Defrosting Frozen Food

1. If you try to completely defrost frozen food in the Microwave Oven, uneven defrosting may occur due to the differences in the thickness and shape of the food. In actual usage of frozen food, you should not normally defrost them 100%. 70% defrosting in the Microwave Oven is ideal and helpful for the next cooking operation.
2. To defrost evenly, turn the food 180°, or turn it over during defrosting.
3. To defrost fatty meat, heat it in the Microwave Oven for a short time and leave it to stand at room temperature, or heat it intermittently until defrosted.
4. When you defrost a whole chicken, or any frozen food of irregular shape, wrap legs or thin parts with aluminum foil. Otherwise thin parts will be defrosted faster and sometimes cooked before other parts have properly defrosted.
5. Ice should be removed at times during defrosting.

Care of Your Microwave Oven

1. Remove the plug from the electrical socket before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. If pieces of food or spilled liquids stick to the oven walls, or between door seal and door surface, they will absorb microwaves and may cause arcing or sparks. Wipe up all spills with a damp cloth. Kitchen detergent or Food Sanitizer Solution may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.

Cleaning of the Splatter Shield

1. Hold snap in-snap out side stoppers of splatter shield with both hands and pull them in and down. Then take the splatter shield out of the oven cavity.
2. Rinse splatter shield in soapy water or Food Sanitizer Solution.
3. Be sure to replace the shield before using the oven.

CAUTION

Splatter shield must be in place securely when you use the oven.

Cleaning the Air Filter

Clean the Air Filter regularly according to the following instructions. The oven may have problems when the Air Filter becomes clogged with dust.

1. Remove the Air Filter from the front bottom skirt by turning to left the right Screw. Then slide the filter to the right and lift it off the post at the left.

2. Wash this filter in warm soapy water.

3. Be sure to replace the Air Filter before using the oven.

*If the Air Filter becomes clogged with debris this will cause an overheating problem on the oven.

Microwave Basics

Fundamental principles determine the success of microwave food preparation.

They include:

1. Temperature of Foods—Frozen or refrigerated food items will require longer heating times to reach a desired serving temperature than foods from room temperature.
2. Food Components—Foods high in sugar, salt, fats and moisture content heat faster because these properties attract microwave energy. Denser foods high in protein and fibre, absorb microwave energy slower which means a lengthier heating time.
3. Bulk/Volume—The greater the mass of food, the longer it takes to heat.
4. Containers—Ceramic, paper, china, glass and plastic are suitable for use in microwave ovens with the following caution:

Heating foods with either high sugar or high fat content should be done ONLY in high temperature-resistant containers since these foods get very hot. Using styrofoam containers for these foods will cause the styrofoam to warp. Other low temperature restaurant glass or plastic platters may crack or warp, under similar conditions.

DO NOT HEAT foods in a SEALED container or bag. Foods expand when heated and can break the container or bag.

1. AVOID METAL because it "bounces" the microwaves, causing uneven heating and sometimes even flashes, which may pit or mar the interior of the oven, the metal container or plate trim.

2. When heating liquids, e.g. soups, 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:

3. Avoid using straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

4. Do not overheat.

5. Stir the liquid before placing the container in the oven and again halfway through the heating time.

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

General Guidelines for Heating in a Panasonic Microwave Oven

For specific time, see each food category for appropriate heating techniques. plus necessary pre-preparation of foods.

Heating Foods From Refrigerated Temperature

Foods stored in the refrigerator (5°C) should be covered before reheating with the exception of breads, pastries or any breaded product, which should be heated uncovered to prevent sogginess.

Most conventionally prepared foods should be slightly undercooked, and held in the refrigerator, so that overcooking does not occur during microwave heating.

Cooked items, such as vegetables, may be portion plated and covered for reheating without loss of color, texture or nutritional content.

Heating Foods From Room Temperature

Food items such as canned entrees, vegetables, etc. will require significantly less heating time than those from refrigerated temperatures.

Important Recommendations

1. For best results it is recommended that foods conventionally prepared be slightly undercooked when subsequently heated in this oven.
2. REMEMBER that after the heating cycle has been completed, internal food temperatures continue to rise slightly in foods heated in this oven.
3. A major abuse of microwave applications is the category of breads and baked goods. Because crusts of breads, pastries and pies are drier than insides or fillings, they heat more slowly. Therefore, baked goods should ONLY be heated until the crust is warm to the touch (50°C–55°C).
4. DO NOT OVERHEAT YOUR FOOD: 99% of all food quality complaints of microwave heated foods can be traced to overheating

Snacks

Snacks are quickly and easily reheated in the microwave.

Any bread or pastry based snacks should be reheated on a non metallic rack, covered with a piece of kitchen paper. This allows the air to circulate under the food to help prevent sogginess. Remember that pastries reheated in the microwave

oven will never be crisp as there is no hot air in the cavity to dry the pastry out, but the food should never be wet and soggy.

Do remember that products with the same heating time may be placed in the cavity and heated together. The heating times will vary if the products are bigger or smaller than those suggested in the charts.

Fish

DEFROSTING: Fish and seafood will defrost easily in a microwave. To defrost evenly the fish should be arranged in a single layer on a container and should only be thawed to the point of being flexible so it does not begin to cook at the edges.

PRIME COOKING: Cooking individual portions demands close attention to prevent overcooking. If fish is overcooked it will become hard and inedible. Always prick with a sharp knife to prevent popping.

Baked Goods and Sweets

Breads, pastries and pies should be heated uncovered. on HIGH power. For best results place on absorbent material, such as a napkin or paper towel to prevent sogginess.

DO NOT OVERHEAT breads and pastries. Baked goods should only be heated until the crust feels warm to the touch (50°C–55°C). Overheating will cause bread to be inedible.

Because crusts of breads, pastries and pies are drier than insider or fillings. they heat more slowly. After heating allow to food rest for approx. 1 min. for the temperature to even out.

Heating times for sweet baked goods and desserts are relatively short because of the high sugar content.

Vegetables

Most vegetables, individual and bulk portions, defrost, and cook very successfully in the microwave. retaining colour and texture as well as nutritional value. The thicker and more fibrous the vegetable the longer the cooking time.

Frozen vegetables can be defrosted and heated in one step. One to two tablespoons of water per 450 g should be added to frozen vegetables.

Icy sections should be broken up during heating for even temperature distribution.

Canned vegetables can be heated using HIGH power for approx. 1 minute per pound.

Most fresh vegetables are prepared with a small amount of water (see charts). Do not salt before cooking as this will toughen the vegetables, salt after cooking e.g. with a knob of salty butter.
