IMPORTANT

Proper cooking depends upon the power, the time setting and quantity of food. if you use a smaller portion than recommended but cook at the time for the recommended portion, fi re could result.

1) HOME CANNING / STERILIZING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL QUANTITIES OF FOODS

  • DO NOT use your oven for home canning. Your oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. The food may be contaminated and then spoil.
  • DO NOT use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization.
  • DO NOT dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, scorch or catch on fire if overheated.

2) POPCORN

Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven corn popper. Microwave popcorn which pops in its own package is also available. Follow popcorn manufacturers' directions and use a brand suitable for the cooking power of your microwave oven.

CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, you can follow recommended package instructions or use the popcorn pad (refer to page 16). Otherwise, the popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave oven unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool before opening, always open the bag facing away from your face and body to prevent steam burns.

3) DEEP FAT FRYING

- DO NOT deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Cooking oils may burst into flames and may cause damage to the oven and perhaps result in burns. Microwave utensils may not withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt

• DO NOT COOK/REHEAT WHOLE EGGS, WITH OR WITHOUT THE SHELL.

Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating SLICED hard-boiled eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.

- Potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before microwave cooking to prevent them from exploding.

CAUTION: Cooking dry or old potatoes can cause fire.

PANASONIC NN-SE782S - 3) DEEP FAT FRYING - 1

Safety Precautions

(continued)

  • Cooking containers get hot during microwaving. Heat is transferred from the HOT food to the container and the Glass Tray. Use pot holders when removing containers from the oven or when removing lids or plastic wrap covers from cooking containers, to avoid burns.
  • The Glass Tray will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed to cool before handling or before paper products, such as paper plates or microwave popcorn bags, are placed in the oven for microwave cooking.
  • When using foil in the oven, allow at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of space between foil and interior oven walls or door.
  • Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing may occur.

6) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS

- DO NOT use paper towels or cloths which contain a synthetic fiber woven into them. The synthetic fiber may cause the towel to ignite. Use paper toweling under supervision.

7) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS

  • Browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking only. Always follow instructions provided by the manufacturer. DO NOT preheat browning dish more than 6 minutes.

Defrosting Tips & Techniques

Preparation for freezing:

  1. Freeze meats, poultry, and fish in packages with only 1 or 2 layers of food. Place wax paper between layers.
  2. Package in heavy-duty plastic wraps, bags (labeled "For Freezer"), or freezer paper.
  3. Remove as much air as possible.
  4. Seal securely, date, and label.

To Defrost:

  1. Remove wrapper. This helps moisture to evaporate. Juices from food can get hot and cook the food.
  2. Set food in microwave-safe dish.
  3. Place roasts fat-side down. Place whole poultry breast-side down.
  4. Select power and minimum time so that items will be under-defrosted.
  5. Drain liquids during defrosting.
  6. Turn over (invert) items during defrosting.
  7. Shield edges and ends if needed. (See Cooking Techniques).

After Defrosting:

  1. Large items may be icy in the centre. Defrosting will complete during STANDING TIME.
  2. Let stand, covered, following stand time directions on page 18.
  3. Rinse foods as indicated in the chart.
  4. Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer stand time.

4. PANASONIC NN-SE782S - Sensor Reheat Feature - 4• Touch Start. ▶Cooking starts.
Cooking is complete when 5 beeps sound. (When steam is detected by the Genius Sensor and 2 beeps sound, the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window.)

NOTE:

Casseroles - Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of liquid, cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. Stir when time appears in the display window.

Canned foods - Empty contents into casserole dish or serving bowl, cover dish with lid or vented plastic wrap. After reheating, let stand for a few minutes.

Plate of food - Arrange food on plate; top with butter, gravy, etc. Cover with lid or vented plastic wrap. After reheating, let stand for a few minutes.

DO NOT USE SENSOR REHEAT

  1. To reheat bread, meat pie and pastry products. Use manual power and time for these foods.
  2. For raw or uncooked foods.
  3. If oven cavity is warm.
  4. For beverages.
  5. For frozen foods.

Sensor Cook Feature

This sensor feature allows you to cook food without setting time. The oven simplifi es programming.

Example: To cook Frozen Entrées

1PANASONIC NN-SE782S - Sensor Cook Feature - 1• Touch Sensor Reheat/Cook.
2.PANASONIC NN-SE782S - Sensor Cook Feature - 2• Select the desired sensor menu using the slider bar.
3.PANASONIC NN-SE782S - Sensor Cook Feature - 3• (see More/Less Feature.) ( page 16)
4PANASONIC NN-SE782S - Sensor Cook Feature - 4• Touch Start.▶ Cooking starts.
Cooking is complete when 5 beeps sound. (For some menus, when steam is detected by the Genius Sensor and 2 beeps sound, the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window.)

For the best results with the GENIUS SENSOR, follow these recommendations. BEFORE Reheating/Cooking:

  1. The room temperature surrounding the oven should be below 95 °F (35 °C).
  2. Food weight should exceed 4 oz. (110g).
  3. Be sure the glass tray, the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Residual beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

  4. Cover food with lid, or with vented plastic wrap. Never use tightly sealed plastic containers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

DURING Reheating/Cooking: DO NOT open the oven door until beeps sound. Doing so will cause inaccurate cooking since the steam from food is no longer contained within the oven cavity. Once the cooking time begins to count down, the oven door may be opened to stir, turn or rearrange foods for some menus.

AFTER Reheating/Cooking: All foods should have a stand time.

Food Characteristics

Bone and Fat

Both bone and fat affect cooking. Bones may cause irregular cooking. Meat next to the tips of bones may overcook while meat positioned under a large b as a ham bone, may be underc Large amounts of fat absorb mix energy and the meat next to the may overcook.

PANASONIC NN-SE782S - Bone and Fat - 1

Density

Porous, airy foods such as breads, cakes or rolls take less time to cook than heavy, dense foods such as potatoes and roasts. When reheating donuts or other foods with different centers be very careful. Certain foods have centers made with sugar, water, or fat and these centers attract microwaves (For example, jelly do- nuts). When a jelly donut is heated, the jelly can become extremely hot while the exte- rior remains warm to the touch. This could result in a burn if the food is not allowed to cool properly in the center.

Quantity

Two potatoes take longer to cook than one potato. As the quantity of the food decreases so does the cooking time. Overcooking will cause the moisture content in the food to decrease and a fire could result. Never leave microwa tended while in use.

PANASONIC NN-SE782S - Quantity - 1

Shape

Uniform sizes heat more evenly. The thin end of a drumstick will cook more quickly than the meaty end. To compensate for i place thin parts toward the dish and thick pieces tow

PANASONIC NN-SE782S - Shape - 1

Size

Thin pieces cook more quickly than thick pieces.

PANASONIC NN-SE782S - Size - 1

Starting Temperature

Foods that are at room temperature take less time to cook than if they are chilled, refrigerated, or frozen.

PANASONIC NN-SE782S - Starting Temperature - 1

Cooking Techniques

Piercing

Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced scored or have a strip of skin peeled before cooking to allow steam to escape. Pierce clams, oysters, chicken livers, whole potatoes and whole vegetables. Whole apples or new potatoes should have a 1-inch strip of skin peeled before cooking. Score sausages and frank-furters. Do not Cook/Reheat whole eggs with or without the shell. Steam build up in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating SLICED hard-boiled eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.

PANASONIC NN-SE782S - Piercing - 1

Browning

Foods will not have the same brown appearance as conventionally cooked foods or those foods which are cooked utilizing a browning feature. Meats and poultry may be coated with browning sauce, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce or shake-on browning sauce. To use, combine browning sauce with melted butter or margarine and brush on before cooking. For quick breads or muffins, brown sugar can be used in the recipe in place of granulated sugar, or the surface can be sprinkled with dark spices before baking.

PANASONIC NN-SE782S - Browning - 1

Spacing

Individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes and appetizers, will cook more evenly if placed in the oven equal distances apart. When possible, arrange foods in a circular pattern.

PANASONIC NN-SE782S - Spacing - 1

PANASONIC NN-SE782S - Spacing - 2

Cooking Techniques

(continued)

Covering

As with conventional cooking, moisture evaporates during microwave cooking. Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. When using plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by folding back part of the plastic wrap from the edge of the dish to allow steam to escape. Loosen or remove plastic wrap as recipe directs for stand time. When removing plastic wrap covers, as well as any glass lids, be careful to remove them away from you to avoid steam burns. Various degrees of moisture retention are also obtained by using wax paper or paper towels.

Shielding

Thin areas of meat and poultry cook more quickly than meaty portions. To prevent over-cooking, these thin areas can be shielded with strips of aluminum foil. Wooden toothpicks may be used to hold the foil in place.

⚠CAUTION is to be exercised when using foil. Arcing can occur if foil is too close to oven wall or door and damage to your oven will result.

Cooking time

A range of cooking time is given in each recipe. The time range compensates for the uncontrollable differences in food shapes, starting temperature, and regional preferences. Always cook food for the minimum cooking time given in a recipe and check for doneness. If the food is undercooked, continue cooking. It is easier to add time to an undercooked product. Once the food is overcooked, nothing can be done.

Stirring

Stirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking. Always bring the cooked outside edges toward the center and the less cooked center portions toward the outside of the dish.

Rearranging

Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces, shrimp, hamburger patties or pork chops. Rearrange pieces from the edge to the center and pieces from the center to the edge of the dish.

Turning

It is not possible to stir some foods to distribute the heat evenly. At times, microwave energy will concentrate in one area of the food. To help insure even cooking, these food need to be turned. Turn over large foods, such as roasts or turkeys, halfway through cooking.

Stand Time

Most foods will continue to cook by conduction after the microwave oven is turned off. In meat cookery, the internal temperature will rise 5 °F to 15 °F (3 °C to 8 °C), if allowed to stand, tented with foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Casseroles and vegetables need a shorter amount of standing time, but this standing time is necessary to allow foods to complete cooking to the center without overcooking on the edges.

Test for Doneness

The same tests for doneness used in conventional cooking may be used for microwave cooking. Meat is done when fork-tender or splits at fi bers. Chicken is done when juices are clear yellow and drumstick moves freely. Fish is done when it flakes and is opaque. Cake is done when a toothpick or cake tester is inserted and comes out clean.

ABOUT FOOD SAFETY AND COOKING TEMPERATURE

Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.

TEMP FDOD

160 °F ...for fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.

165 °F ...for leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carryout "fresh" food.

170 °F ...white meat of poultry.

180 °F ...dark meat of poultry.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

PANASONIC NN-SE782S - TEMP FDOD - 1

Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven

BEFORE CLEANING:

Unplug oven at wall outlet. If outlet is inaccessible, leave oven door open while cleaning.

AFTER CLEANING:

Be sure to place the Roller Ring and the Glass Tray in the proper position and touch Stop/Reset Pad to clear the Display.

Label:

Do not remove, wipe with a damp cloth.

Inside of the oven:

Wipe with a damp cloth after using. Mild detergent may be used if needed. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.

Oven Door:

Wipe with a soft dry cloth when steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door. During cooking, especially under high humidity conditions, steam is given off from the food. (Some steam will condense on cooler surfaces, such as the oven door. This is normal.) Inside surface is covered with a heat and vapor barrier fi lm. Do not remove.

Glass Tray:

Remove and wash in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.

Line drawing of a microwave oven with control panel and dish (no text or symbols)

Roller Ring and oven cavity floor:

Clean the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent water or window cleaner, and dry. Roller Ring may be washed in mild soapy water or dish-washer. These areas should be kept clean to avoid excessive noise.

Outside oven surfaces:

Clean with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into ventilation openings.

Control Panel:

* Covered with a removable protective fi Im to prevent scratches during - shipping. Small bubbles may appear under this fi Im. (Hint - To remove fi Im, apply masking or clear tape to an exposed corner and pull gently.)
* If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean it with a soft dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.

Do not remove wave guide cover: It is important to keep cover clean in the same manner as the inside of the oven.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY. FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDENSATION MAY CAUSE RUSTING OR ARCING AND DAMAGE TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE DRY ALL SURFACES-INCLUDING VENT OPENINGS, OVEN SEAMS, AND UNDER GLASS TRAY.
