Important Safety Instructions

  1. Do not store flammable materials next to, on top of, or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard.
  2. Do NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food products. Do NOT clean this oven with any product that is labelled as containing corrosive chemicals. The heating of corrosive chemicals in this oven may cause microwave radiation leaks.
  3. Do not use your oven for home canning or the heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. In addition, the microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the correct canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
  4. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.
  5. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with nonporous skins. This type of food must be pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting.
  6. DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN. To check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry use a MICROWAVE THERMOMETER. Alternatively, a conventional meat thermometer may be used after the food is removed from the oven. If undercooked, return meat or poultry to the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the recommended power level. It is important to ensure that meat and poultry are thoroughly cooked.
  7. Extreme care should be taken when cooking popcorn in a microwave oven. Cook for minimum time as recommended by manufacturer. Use the directions suitable for the wattage of your microwave oven. NEVER leave oven unattached when popping popcorn.

Important Safety Instructions

  1. When reheating babies bottles always remove top and teat. Liquid at the top of the bottle will be much hotter than 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.

  2. The door seals and door seal areas should be cleaned with a damp cloth.

  3. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

  4. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

  5. Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in the microwave ovens.

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

  1. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.

Care of Your Microwave Oven

Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

  1. Remove the plug from the electrical socket before cleaning.
  2. Keep the inside of the oven [and Middle Shelf (NE-2143-2, NE-2153-2 only)] 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.
  3. The outside surface of this microwave oven should be cleaned with soap and water, then dried with a soft cloth. Make sure that water does not get into the back ventilation or control panel opening since this can damage the unit.
  4. The window of the door should be washed with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth. Never use window cleaner. The front door can be scratched by harsh soap or cleaners.

CLEANING OF THE SPLATTER SHIELD

  1. Hold snap in / snap out 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.

PANASONIC NE-1643  -  NE-1643 - CAUTION - 1

Care of Your Microwave Oven

CLEANING 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 the right screw to the left. 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 with the oven.

PANASONIC NE-1643  -  NE-1643 - CLEANING AIR FILTER - 1

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 recycled 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. If "arcing" should occur, check the cookware carefully again for metal.
  5. 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.
  6. You can cook steamed vegetables in special "seethrough" wrapping film, such as Saran Wrap, or wax paper. Do not cook in a plastic bag.

CAUTION

Do not use METAL UTENSILS in this oven.

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS

  1. If you try to completely defrost frozen foods in the microwave oven, uneven defrosting may occur due to the differences in the thickness and shape of the food. Drippings may also result, and sometimes a part of the food cooks although other parts still remain frozen. In actual usage of frozen foods, 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 over or rearrange the food 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 aluminium foil. Otherwise thin parts will be defrosted faster and sometimes cooked before other parts have properly defrosted. For big pieces of meat, wrap the sides with aluminium foil so that they will be uniformly thawed by vertical microwaves only.
  5. Ice should be removed at times during defrosting.

OTHER HELPFUL INSTRUCTIONS

FOR BEST RESULTS

  1. When determining time for particular foods, always figure minimum time and check occasionally during cooking for progress. The microwave oven cooks so quickly, therefore it is easy to overcook your foods.
  2. Be careful of the cooking time for small quantities of foods, or foods with low water content. They may burn if cooked too long.
  3. Do not use the oven for drying kitchen towels or napkins. They may burn if heated too long.
  4. Do not try to boil eggs in the oven.
  5. When you cook an egg be sure to pierce the yolk membrane prior to placing into the oven to prevent the egg bursting.

HOW TO GET BROWNED FINISH

Generally foods do not brown when cooked by a microwave oven. This is one of the features of the equipment. To brown chickens, brush sauce on the surface before or during cooking. You can also brown meat in a conventional frying pan before cooking in the oven. A browning skillet for the microwave oven can obtain the same result.

FOR EVEN FINISHED COOKING

Open the door and give the dish a half turn, or turn the food over during cooking. This helps to achieve more even cooking. When you cook chicken the legs cook faster than other parts. Wrap the legs with aluminium foil during cooking to reflect the microwave energy in order to create even cooking.

TWO LEVEL COOKING (NE-2143-2/2153-2 only)

When heating, one item always place the container in the centre of the bottom shelf.

When using the microwave mainly for reheating one item at a time, remove the middle shelf and work on the bottom shelf.

When reheating two items at a time place both dishes on the bottom shelf side by side, unless the containers are too large and then place one on the shelf.

When heating more than two plates, place the dishes evenly on the two shelves.

Allow some space between each plate, do not cram too much food into the oven.

If the middle shelf is not used, it should be stored outside the oven and must not be put on the bottom shelf.

Before Cooking

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, styrofoam, 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 SEALD 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 mark the interior of the oven, the metal container or plate trim.
  2. Heated liquids can erupt if not mixed with air. Do not heat liquids in your microwave oven without first stirring.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR HEATING IN A 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^) 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 colour, texture or nutritional content.

HEATING FOODS FROM ROOM TEMPERATURE

Food items such as canned entree, 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, pastries and pies. They 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^ - 55^) .
  4. DO NOT OVERHEAT YOUR FOOD: 99% of all food quality complaints of microwave heated foods can be traced to overheating.

Cooking Instructions — Heating and Defrosting Time Charts —

The times given in the chart below are a guideline only. Many factors eg starting temperature of the food can affect the final heating time required. The cooking and defrosting times must be adjusted when necessary.

All times are tested using foods at starting temperatures as below;

Chilled foods .Approx. +5^

Frozen foods Approx. -18^

Always check for the correct core temperature with a temperature probe to comply with current Government Food Hygiene Regulations.

HINTS: • Do not cook/reheat/defrost directly onto the base of the oven — use a suitable container.
- When defrosting multi portions of foods, turn over and break apart halfway through defrost time to allow better penetration of microwave energy.
- Solid/dense foods should not be cooked from frozen as they will be overcooked round the edges before the centre has reached the required temperature.
- Cover dishes where appropriate during cooking/reheating. This will retain moisture and prevent splashing/spillages.
- Loosen lids/pierce clingfilm before cooking/reheating covered foods.
- Stir or shake foods halfway through cooking/defrosting time to distribute the heat evenly.
- Allow a Stand Time before food temperature is checked and/or offered for consumption.
