-
The door seals and seal areas should be cleaned with a damp cloth. 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 a service technician trained by the manufacturer.
-
Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. It is dangerous for anyone other than a service technician trained by the manufacturer to perform repair service.
Use of Your Oven
- After plugging in the oven you will be prompted to select a language and to set the time. These settings can be changed at any time, see page 17.
- Do not use the oven for any reason other than the preparation of food and beverages. This oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food. Do not use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food products.
- Before use, check that utensils/ containers are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
- When the oven is not being used, do not store any objects inside the oven in case it is accidentally turned on.
- The appliance must not be operated by MICROWAVE or COMBINATION WITHOUT FOOD IN THE OVEN. Operation in this manner may damage the appliance.
Heater operation
Before using CONVECTION, STEAM, GRILL or COMBINATION function for the first time, wipe excessive oil off in the oven cavity and operate the oven without food and accessories on GRILL 1 for 15 minutes. This will allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be burned off.

CAUTION! Hot surfaces After cooking the oven accessories will be very hot.
Fan motor operation
After using the oven, the fan motor may rotate for a few minutes to cool the electric components. This is normal and you can remove food even though the fan motor operates. You can continue using the oven during this time.
Water tank
Do not use the water tank if it is cracked or broken, as leaking water could result in electrical failure and danger of electric shock. If the water tank becomes damaged, please contact your dealer.
Oven light
When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult your dealer.
Cooking times
The cooking times given in the cookbook are approximate. The cooking time depends on the condition, temperature, amount of food and on the type of cookware.
Begin with the minimum cooking time to help prevent overcooking. If the food is not sufficiently cooked you can always cook it for a little longer.

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.
Meat thermometer
Use a meat thermometer to check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry only when the meat has been removed from the oven. Do not use a conventional meat thermometer in the microwave oven because it may cause sparking.
Small quantities of foods
Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long. If materials inside the oven should ignite, touch On/Off and leave the door closed in order to stifle any flames. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Eggs
Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs by MICROWAVE. Pressure may build up and the eggs may explode, even after the microwave heating has ended.
Piercing skin
Food with non porous skins, such as potatoes, egg yolks and sausages must be pierced before cooking by MICROWAVE to prevent bursting.
Liquids
When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and beverages in microwave mode, 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 cooking time.
d. After heating, allow it to stand in the oven for a short time, stir again before carefully removing the container.
Paper/plastic
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently as these types of containers ignite if overheated.
Do not use recycled paper products (e.g. kitchen roll) 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 during use.
Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags before placing the bags in the oven.
Important Safety Instructions
Utensils/foil
Do not heat any closed cans or bottles because they might explode.
Metal containers or dishes with metallic trim should not be used during microwave cooking. Sparking will occur.
If you use any aluminium foil, meat spikes or metalware the distance between them and the oven walls and door should be at least 2 cm to prevent sparking.
Feeding bottles/baby food jars The top and teat or lid must be removed from feeding bottles or baby food jars before placing in the oven.
After heating the contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken.

The biggest problem when defrosting food in a microwave is getting the inside defrosted before the outside starts to cook. For this reason Panasonic have made the defrosting on the oven CYCLIC DEFROST, just select the 270 W power level and set the required time. The oven then divides this time into 8 stages. These stages alternate between defrosting (total of 4) and standing (total of 4).
During the standing stages there is no microwave power in the oven, although the light will remain on. The automatic stand times ensure a more even defrost and for small items the usual stand time can be eliminated.
Tips for defrosting
Check the defrosting several times, even if you use the auto programs. Observe the standing times.
Standing times
Individual portions of food may be cooked almost immediately after defrosting. It is normal for large portions of food to be frozen in the centre. Before cooking, allow to stand for a minimum of one hour. During this standing time, the temperature becomes evenly distributed and the food is defrosted by conduction. N.B. If the food is not going to be cooked immediately, store it in the refrigerator. Never refreeze defrosted food without first cooking it.
Joints and poultry
It is preferable to place the joints on an upturned plate or plastic rack so that they are not resting in the juices. It is essential to protect delicate or projecting parts of this food with small pieces of foil to prevent these parts from cooking.
It is not dangerous to use small pieces of foil in your oven, provided they do not come into contact with the oven walls.
Minced meat or cubes of meat and seafood
Since the outside of these foods quickly defrosts, it is necessary to separate them, break the blocks into pieces frequently while defrosting and remove them when they have defrosted.
Small portions of food
Chops and chicken pieces must be separated as soon as possible so that they defrost evenly throughout. Fatty parts and the ends defrost more quickly. Place them near the centre of a Pyrex® dish or protect them with small pieces of foil.
Bread
Loaves will require a standing time of 15 - 30 minutes to allow the centre to thaw. Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated and rolls and loaves cut in half.
Beep Sounds
Beeps will sound during the Auto Defrost programs. The beeps are to remind you to check, stir, separate the pieces, or shield small parts. Failure to do this may result in uneven defrosting.



Turbo Defrost
With this feature you can defrost frozen food according to the weight. For quick selection, the weight starts from the most commonly used weight for each program.






Select the desired Turbo Defrost program. Place food in a suitable dish/plate on the base of the oven.
Select the cooking weight by tapping the up and down keys.
Touch Stop/Start. Remember to stir or turn the food during defrosting.

NOTE
■ When the defrosting time is longer than 60 minutes, the time will appear in hours and minutes.
The shape and size of the food will determine the maximum weight the oven can accommodate.
■ Allow standing time to ensure the food is completely defrosted.

IMPORTANT!
See page 37 for defrosting guidelines.

Q: Why won't my oven turn on?
A: When the oven does not turn on, check the following:
1. Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and reinsert.
2. Check the circuit breaker and the fuse. Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse if it is tripped or blown.
3. If the circuit breaker or fuse is functioning, plug another appliance into the outlet. If the other appliance works, there may be a problem with the oven. If the other appliance does not work, there may be a problem with the outlet. If there is a problem with the oven, contact an authorised Service Centre.
Q: My oven causes interference with my TV. Is this normal?
A: Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the 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.
Q: The oven won't accept my program. Why?
A: The oven is designed not to accept an incorrect program. For example, the oven will not accept a fourth stage.
Q: Sometimes warm air comes from the oven vents. Why?
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 are no microwaves in the air. The oven vents should never be blocked during cooking.
Q: I can't set an auto program and 'HOT' appears in the display. Why?
A: If the oven has previously been used and it is too hot to be used with an Auto Program, 'HOT' will appear in the display window. After the 'HOT'
disappears, the Auto Programs may be used. If in a hurry, cook food manually by selecting the correct cooking mode and cooking time yourself.
Q: Can I use a conventional oven thermometer in the oven?
A: Only when you are using CONVECTION/GRILL cooking mode. The metal in some thermometers may cause arcing in your oven and should not be used on MICROWAVE and COMBINATION cooking modes.
Q: There are humming and clicking noises from my oven when I cook by COMBINATION. What is causing these noises?
A: The noises occur as the oven automatically switches from MICROWAVE power to CONVECTION/ GRILL to create the combination setting. This is normal.
Q: My oven has an odour and generates smoke when using the COMBINATION and GRILL function. Why?
A: After repeated use, it is recommended to clean the oven and then run the oven without food. This will burn off any food, residue or oil which may cause an odour and/or smoking.
Q: The oven stops cooking by microwave and "H97" or "H98" appears in the display. Why?
A: This display indicates a problem with the microwave generation system. Please contact an authorised Service Centre.
Q The fan continues to rotate after cooking. Why?
A After using oven, the fan motor may rotate to cool the electrical components. This is normal and you can continue using the oven at this time.
Questions and Answers
Q “D” appears or a dot blinks in the display and the oven does not cook. Why?
A: The oven has been programmed in DEMO MODE. This mode is designed for retail store display. To de-activate demo mode see page 19.
Q. The word prompt has disappeared on my display?
A: See user settings page 17 to re-activate the word prompt.
Q. The oven stops cooking by steam or combination with steam and "U14" appears in the display
A: The water tank is empty and the operation guide has been turned off. Re-fill the water tank, position back in the oven and touch Stop/Start to resume cooking.
Q. The oven stops program and "U12" appears in the display.
A: The drain tank is not in position, position back in the oven. Restart program.
Q. The keys do not respond. The display is frozen.
A: Turn the oven off and clean the control panel. Open and close the door to re-set the keys. Do not touch the control panel whilst opening and closing the door.
Care of your Oven
- Turn the oven off before cleaning.
- Clean the inside of the oven, door seals and door seal areas regularly. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the oven walls, base of the oven, 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 abrasive is not recommended. DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS.
- Do not use harsh, abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering the glass.
- 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.
- If the Control Panel becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on the Control Panel. When cleaning the Control Panel set the child lock (see page 19). After cleaning cancel the child lock (see page 19).
-
If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit.
-
The base of the oven should be cleaned regularly. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent and hot water then dry with a clean cloth.
- When using the CONVECTION/GRILL, STEAM or COMBINATION mode, some foods may inevitably splatter grease on to the oven walls. If the oven is not cleaned occasionally, it may start to "smoke" during use.
- A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.
- This oven should only be serviced by qualified personnel. For maintenance and repair of the oven contact the nearest authorised dealer.
- Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of surfaces that could affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
- Keep air exhaust vents clean at all times. Check that no dust or other material is blocking the air exhaust vents. If the air exhaust vents become blocked this could cause overheating which would affect the operation of the oven and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
- The back of the oven cavity has a self-clean catalytic lining. It is therefore not necessary to clean this area.
