Safety Instructions � � � � � � � � � 6 If smoke is emitted or a fire occurs in the oven, press Stop/Cancel button 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. This appliance is intended to be used in household applications only. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.
Safety Instructions � � � � � � � � 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. A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning the appliance. Warning! The accessible parts may become hot in grill, convection and combination use. Young children should be kept away. Children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperatures generated.
Safety Instructions � � � � � 8 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 of the glass. The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages only. Take care when heating foods low in moisture, e.g. bread items, chocolate, biscuits and pastries. These can easily burn, dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long.
Important Safety Instructions Read carefully and keep for future reference. Warning! This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience, which may be marked, and rated, 13 amps. Important! This appliance must be earthed. The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green-and-yellow: Earth. Blue: Neutral. Brown: Live. A 13 amp fuse is fitted acording to the type of mains plug fitted.
Important Safety Instructions Do not immerse cord, plug or oven in water. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or work top. Do not plug your oven in via an extension cable as this can be dangerous. It is important to plug the oven directly into a wall socket. The back of the appliance heats up during use. Do not allow the cord to be in contact with the back of the appliance or cabinet surface.
Before Using your Oven 4. Before using grill, convection or combination function for the first time operate the oven without food and accessories (including glass turntable and roller ring) on Convection 220 °C for 5 minutes. This will allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be burned off. This is the only time that the oven is operated empty (except when preheating). Examine your Oven 1.
Placement of your Oven This oven is intended for countertop use only. It is not intended for built-in use or for use inside a cupboard. The microwave oven shall not be placed in a cabinet. 2. Do not place the microwave oven on a shelf directly above a gas or electric hob. This may be a safety hazard and the oven may be damaged. 3. Do not block the air vents on the sides and back of the oven. If these openings are blocked during operation the oven may overheat.
Care & Cleaning of your Oven 4. After use, the oven interior should be wiped out to remove any remaining water in order to reduce the risk of corrosion to the cavity and door. The cavity and door can be damaged by abrasive cleaners and sharp objects so care must be taken to avoid damage caused in this way. If the cavity or door become damaged the lining may begin to corrode.
Maintenance of your Oven Service Warning! 1. When your oven requires a service call your local Panasonic engineer (Customer Communications Centre on 0344 844 3899 can recommend an engineer). It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy. The appliance should be inspected for damage to the door seals and door seal areas.
Parts of your Oven 1. Do not operate the oven without the roller ring and glass turntable in place. 8. The metal accessories provided must only be used as directed for grilling convection and combination cooking. Never use them on microwave only. Do not use if operating the oven with less than 200 g (7 oz) of food on a manual combination program. Failure to use accessories correctly could damage your oven. 2. Only use the glass turntable specifically designed for this oven.

Important Information - Read Carefully Safety Note If smoke is emitted or a fire occurs in the oven, press Stop/Cancel button 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. Never operate the oven without food inside (except when preheating). Foods Low in Moisture Take care when heating foods low in moisture, e.g. bread items, chocolate, biscuits and pastries.
Important Information - Read Carefully Warning! Meat Thermometer Use a meat thermometer to check the degree of cooking of joints and poultry only when meat has been removed from the microwave. If undercooked, return to the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the recommended power level. Do not leave a conventional meat thermometer in the oven when microwaving. Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. Liquids When heating liquids, e.g.
Important Information - Read Carefully Standing Time Arcing Standing time refers to the period at the end of cooking or reheating when food is left before being eaten, i.e. it is a rest time which allows the heat in the food to continue to conduct to the centre, thus eliminating cold spots. See page 21. Arcing may occur if a metal container has been used accidentally or if the incorrect weight of food is used or the accessories have been damaged.
Microwaving Principles Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with radar in World War II. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and from manmade sources. The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate which causes friction, i.e. heat. This heat then cooks the food. Microwaves are also attracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods high in these will cook more quickly.
General Guidelines Standing Time � Meat Joints Stand 15 minutes wrapped in aluminium foil. Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require a standing time (inside or outside of the oven) after cooking, to allow heat to finish conducting through the food. � Plated Meals Stand for 2-3 minutes. � Vegetables � Jacket Potatoes Boiled potatoes benefit from standing for 1-2 minutes, however most other types of vegetables can be served immediately.
General Guidelines Shape Cling Film Cling film helps keep the food moist and the trapped steam assists in speeding up cooking times. Cling film should be pierced before cooking, to allow excess steam to escape. Always take care when removing cling film from a dish as the build-up of steam will be very hot. Always purchase cling film that states on the packet “suitable for microwave cooking” and use as a covering only. Do not line dishes with cling film.
General Guidelines Starting Temperature Checking Food The colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from a fridge takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature. Food temperature should be between 5-8 ºC before cooking. It is essential that food is checked during and after a recommended cooking time, even if an auto program has been used (just as you would check food cooked in a conventional oven). Return the food to the oven for further cooking if necessary.
Containers to Use 3. Heat on High microwave for 1 minute. Choosing the correct container is a very important factor in deciding the success or failure of your cooking. Result If the dish is suitable for microwaving, it will remain cool, whilst the water in the jug will begin to feel warm. If the testing dish feels warm, do not use as it is absorbing microwave energy.
Containers to Use Plastic Wicker, Wood, Straw Baskets Many plastic containers are designed for microwave use, but do not use for cooking foods high in sugar or fat or for foods that require long cooking times e.g. brown rice. Only use Tupperware® containers if they are designed for microwave use. Dishes will crack and could ignite. Do not use wooden dishes in your microwave. Do not use on any cooking mode. Cling Film Microwave cling film can only be used for covering food that is reheated by microwave.

There is no microwave power on the Grill only program. 2. Use the accessories provided, as explained. Place food on wire rack on the enamel tray on the turntable. The wire rack will allow fat to drip through into the enamel tray to reduce excess splatter and smoke when grilling steaks, chops and other fatty foods. 3.
Convection Cooking Your microwave oven can be used in convection mode which incorporates a heating element with a fan. For best results always place food in a preheated oven. The enamel tray must be on the glass turntable when preheating. Press to select oven temperature. There is a choice of convection temperatures 40 °C and 100 °C - 220 °C.
Convection Cooking Note 4. After pressing Start, the selected temperature can be recalled and changed. Press convection button once to indicate the temperature in the display window. While the temperature is recalled in the display window, you can change the temperature by pressing Convection button. 5. The oven cannot preheat to 40 °C. Caution! The accessories and the surrounding oven will get very hot. Use oven gloves.
Combination Cooking Your oven has two methods of cooking by Combination. 1. Convection and Microwave (with and without preheat) 2. Grill and Microwave (preheat is not possible) Combination cooking is ideal for many foods. The microwave power cooks them quickly, whilst the convection or grill gives the traditional browning and crispness. All this happens simultaneously resulting in most foods being cooked in ½ the conventional cooking time.
Combination Cooking Caution! Take care to use oven gloves when removing dishes from the oven especially when turning or stirring foods as the oven walls and roof will be very hot. * Note 1. When placing food in the oven after preheating, just open the door using the door release button, because if Stop/Cancel button is pressed the program may be cancelled. 2. You can change the cooking time during cooking if required. Turn dial to increase or decrease the cooking time.
Combination 1. Convection and Microwave This is the most popular combination mode combining Convection heat with Micro Power. Casseroles, meat joints, jacket potatoes and pastries are very successful using this combination. Unsuitable foods are those which contain whisked eggs, meringues, rich fruit cakes, biscuits and yorkshire puddings. It is not necessary to preheat on combination except when cooking pastry dishes.
Combination 1. Convection and Microwave The chart below gives suggestions for Combination programs. For cooking times refer to cooking charts or a similar recipe in the book. It is not possible to use High or Defrost microwave power in this mode.

Cooking and Reheating Guidelines Most foods reheat very quickly in your oven by High microwave. Meals can be brought back to serving temperature in just minutes and will taste freshly cooked. Always check food is piping hot and return to oven if necessary. Plated Meals Everyone’s appetite varies and reheat times depend on meal contents. Dense items e.g. mashed potato, should be spread out well. If a lot of gravy is added, extra time may be required. Place denser items to the outside of the plate.
Cooking and Reheating Guidelines For 3 fl. oz. of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat. Heat on High microwave for 10-15 seconds. Check carefully. Caution! Mince Pies Remember even if the pastry is cold to the touch, the filling will be piping hot and will warm the pastry through. Take care not to overheat otherwise burning can occur due to the high fat and sugar content of the filling. Check the temperature of the filling before consuming to avoid burning your mouth.
Reheating Charts The times given in the charts below are a guideline only, and will vary depending on starting temperature, dish size etc. Heating Category The IEC (60705) power output (watts) Your oven is heating Category E.

Questions and Answers 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 all right, plug another appliance into the outlet. If the other appliance works, there probably is a problem with the oven.
Questions and Answers Q: My oven has an odour and generates smoke when using the Convection, Combination and Grill function. Why? A: After repeated use, it is recommended to clean the oven and then run the oven without food, glass turntable, 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. Q: The oven stops cooking by microwave and ‘H97’ or ‘H98’ appears in the display.
