Important Information

1) Cooking Times

• 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.

N.B.: 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.

2) 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, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and remove the plug from the socket.

3) Eggs

• Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs by MICROWAVE. Pressure may build up and the eggs will explode.

4) Piercing Skin

• Food with non porous skins, such as potatoes, egg yolks and sausages must be pierced before cooking by MICROWAVE to prevent bursting.

5) 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 when using MICROWAVE or COMBINATION because it may cause sparking.

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

7) 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/o
• Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags before placing the bags in the oven.

8) 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 2cm to prevent sparking.

9) 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.
• The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken.
• The temperature has to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.

THE 'CONCEPT'

Some foods cooked by microwave can have soft and soggy crusts. Your pizza pan accessory will brown and crisp pizzas, quiches, pies, breaded products just as a conventional oven. Your

Panasonic pizza pan works in three ways: heating the pan by absorbing microwaves, heating the food directly by microwaves and heating the food by the grill. The base of the pan absorbs the microwaves and transfers them into heat. Then the heat is conducted through the pan to the food. The heating effect is maximised by the non-stick surface.

USING THE PIZZA PAN (Manual operation)

• For best results, pre-heat the pan before using. Place directly on the glass turntable and pre-heat on Combination 1 (Grill 1 + 600 Watt) for 3 minutes. To assist browning, brush the pan with oil before preheating for items such as sausages and beef burgers.
• Remove the pan from the oven and place the food in the pan. Use the pizza pan handle or oven gloves as the pan will be very hot. For best results, it is important that the food is placed on the pan immediately after pre-heating. Performance cannot be guaranteed with a time delay.
• Place the pan on the glass turntable and cook according to the guidelines shown in the cooking chart in the cookbook.

NOTES:

1. Do not pre-heat the pan more than 8 minutes.
2. Always place the pan in the centre of the glass tray and ensure it does not touch the wall of the oven cavity. Failure to do so, may cause sparking which would damage the cavity.
3. Always use the pan on the glass turntable. Do not use with the wire rack.
4. Always use the pizza pan handle or oven gloves when handling the hot pan.
5. Ensure all food packaging is removed before cooking.
6. Do not place any heat-sensitive materials on the hot pan as this may cause burning.
7. The pan can be used in a conventional oven.
8. For best results, use the pan in COMBINATION GRILL and MICROWAVE.

CARE OF THE PAN

Never use any sharp utensils on the pan as this will damage the non-stick surface.
After use, wash the pan in hot soapy water and rinse in hot water. Do not use any abrasive cleaning substances or scouring pads as this will damage the surface of the pan.
The pan is dishwasher safe.

(NN-F663/NN-F623/NN-F653)

Q: There are humming and clicking noises from my oven when I cook by COMBINATION. What is causing these noises?
Q: My oven has an odour and generates smoke when using the COMBINATION and GRILL function. Why?

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 all right, plug another appliance into the outlet. If the other appliance works, there probably is a problem with the oven. If the other appliance does not work, there probably is a problem with the outlet. If it seems that there is a problem with the oven, contact an authorized Service Center.

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, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.
A: The oven is designed not to accept an incorrect program. For example, the oven will only accept one stage cooking (excluding Delay Start), and will not accept an Auto Weight Program after Delay Start.
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.
A: The oven has programmed DEMO MODE. This mode is designed for retail store display. Deactivate this mode by pressing Clock Button four times.
A: Only when you are using GRILL cooking mode (NN-F663/NN-F623/NN-F653). The metal in some thermometers may cause arcing in your oven and should not be used on MICROWAVE and COMBINATION cooking modes.

A: The noises occur as the oven automatically switches from MICROWAVE power to GRILL to create the combination setting. This is normal.
A: After repeated use, it is recommended to clean the oven and then run the oven without food, glass tray, and roller ring on Grill for 5 minutes. This will burn off any food, residue or oil which may cause an odour and/or smoking.

Care of Your Oven

1. Turn the oven off before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven, door seals and door seal areas clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the 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 abrasive is not recommended. DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS.
3. 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.
4. 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, leave the oven door open to prevent the oven from accidentally turning on. After cleaning touch STOP/CANCEL Button to clear the display window.

5. 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.

6. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.

7. The roller ring and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven 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 affects the bottom surface or roller ring wheels. After removing the roller ring from the cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace it in the proper position.
8. When using the GRILL or COMBINATION mode, (NN-F663/NN-F623/NN-F653) 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.
9. A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.
10. This oven should only be serviced by qualified personnel. For maintenance and repair of the oven contact the nearest authorized dealer.
