Placement of the Oven
1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface,
more than 85 cm above the floor. For correct
operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow.
Allow 15 cm of space on the top of the oven, 10 cm
at back. If one side of the oven is 5 cm at one
side, the other side or top must not be blocked.
Do not remove feet.
(a) Do not block air vents. If they are blocked
during operation, the oven may be overheated
and damaged. When using any cloth over the
oven, the air intake and exhaust should not be
blocked. Do not place a cloth on top of the unit
during STEAM, GRILL, CONVECTION and
COMBINATION cooking as the top of the oven
gets very hot. Also allow sufficient space on
back and both sides of the oven.
(b) Do not place oven near a hot or damp surface
such as a gas stove, electric range or sink etc.
(c) Do not operate oven when room humidity is too
high.
2. This oven was manufactured for household use
only.
Building-in your oven
1. This oven is intended for counter-top and built-
in use only. It is not intended for use inside
a cupboard. This oven may be built into a
wall cabinet by using the proper trim kit (NN-
TK81LCSCP) which may be purchased from your
local Panasonic dealer.
2. In case of fitting into an oven housing, please use
Panasonic’s Trim Kit, NN-TK81LCSCP.
3. Microwave ovens should not be built into a unit
directly above a top front venting conventional
cooker
. This may be a safety hazard and could
result in damage to your oven. This will invalidate
your one year guarantee.
4. A microwave which is built in must be more
than 850 mm above floor level. Read Trim-
Kit instructions carefully before installation. It is
recommended that the microwave oven is placed
below a conventional oven to avoid heat damage
to the facia of the microwave.
Food
1. 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.
2. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave
oven.
3. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs
should not be heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode, even after microwave heating
has ended.
4. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, chicken wings, whole
squash and sausages are examples of foods with
nonporous skins. This type of food must be pierced
before cooking, to prevent bursting.
5. 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 cooking time.
(d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for
a short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container.
(e) Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be
taken when handling the container.
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.
