Use care when opening or closing door and when inserting or removing food and accessories. The oven has a heater situated in the top of the oven. After using the COMBINATION and GRILL functions the roof and walls will be very hot. 2.
Before using your oven 5. Storage of Accessories Do not store any objects other than oven accessories inside the oven in case it is accidentally turned on. In case of electronic failure, oven can only be turned off at wall socket. 1. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during COMBINATION and GRILLING, take care when opening or closing the door and when inserting or removing food and accessories. 2.
Care & Cleaning of your Microwave Oven IMPORTANT It is essential for the safe operation of the oven that it is kept clean, and wiped out after each use. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of a surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. 1. Switch the oven off before cleaning and unplug at socket if possible. 7. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth.
Maintenance of your oven 1. Service WHEN YOUR OVEN REQUIRES A SERVICE call your local Panasonic engineer (08705 357357 Customer Support). 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. N.B. The appliance should be inspected for damage to the door seals and door seal areas.
8. The metal Grill Rack and Panacrunch Pan provided must ONLY be used as directed for Grilling and Combination cooking. Never use them on microwave only. Do not use if operating the oven with less than 200g (7oz) of food on a manual Combination program or unless pre-heating the Panacruch Pan (see page 30 for details). FAILURE TO USE ACCESSORIES CORRECTLY COULD DAMAGE YOUR OVEN. 9.
Important Information – Read Carefully 4. Boiled Eggs. 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.

It is essential for the safe operation of the oven that it is wiped out regularly. Use warm soapy water, squeeze the cloth out well and use to remove any grease or food from the interior. Pay particular attention to the door seal area and also the areas around the microwave feed guide situated on the right hand side of the cavity wall.
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. Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones. HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD In a microwave oven, electricity is converted into microwaves by the MAGNETRON.
General Guidelines STANDING TIME 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 to cook the centre completely. MEAT JOINTS – Stand 15 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil. JACKET POTATOES – Stand 5 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil after cooking by microwave only. LIGHT CAKES – Stand 5 mins. before removing from dish. RICH DENSE CAKES – Stand 15-20 mins. FISH – Stand 2-3 mins.
General Guidelines DISH SIZE Follow the dish sizes given in the recipes, as these affect the cooking and reheating times. A quantity of food spread in a bigger dish cooks and reheats more quickly. QUANTITY Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions. SPACING Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other. SHAPE Even shapes cook evenly.
Containers to use Choosing the correct container is a very important factor in deciding the success or failure of your cooking. Testing Dishes for Suitability - For Microwave Cooking Only. When unsure that a cooking container is suitable for use in your microwave, check by the following test: 1. Fill a microwave safe measuring jug with 300ml (1⁄2pt) cold water. 2. Place it on the turntable alongside the dish to be tested.
Containers to use PLASTIC 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. Do not use Melamine. Never cook in margarine cartons or yoghurt pots, as these will melt with the heat from the food. If heatproof they can be used for COMBINATION cooking. DO NOT USE UNDER THE GRILL.

Microwave Cooking and Defrosting ACCESSORY TO USE: When using your oven on MICROWAVE only, the glass turntable provided must always be in position. DO NOT attempt to use microwave only with any metal accessory in the oven. Foods reheated or cooked by MICROWAVE only are normally covered with a lid or cling film, unless otherwise stated. DO NOT place food directly onto the turntable except in the case of Jacket Potatoes cooked by MICROWAVE only. Two Stage Cooking: eg.
Auto Weight Defrost With this feature you can defrost frozen foods according to the weight. Select the category and set the weight of the food. The weight must be programmed in grams. The weight starts from the minimum weight for each category. 1. Bread 2. Meat Items 3. Meat Joints • Select the desired program • Enter the weight by turning by pressing pad once, twice the Time/Weight Dial. The or three times. display will start with the minimum weight for each food. Program Weight Range • Press Start.
Auto Weight Defrost Programs This feature allows you to defrost minced meat, chops, chicken portions, meat joints and bread. The CHAOS defrost pad should be pressed to select the correct category and then enter in the weight of the food in grams using the appropriate pads (See page 20). Foods should be placed in a suitable dish, whole chickens and joints of meat should be on an upturned saucer or on a rack. Chops, chicken portions and slices of bread should be placed in a single layer.
Auto Weight Defrost Programs PROGRAM 1 BREAD The Bread Program is suitable for defrosting small items e.g. rolls, buns and slices of bread which are required for immediate use. Small items may feel warm immediately after defrosting. Loaves can also be defrosted on this program but these will require standing time to allow the centre to thaw out. Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated and buns and loaves cut in half. Items should be turned halfway during defrosting.
Defrosting Guidelines Turn dense foods and meat 2/3 times during defrosting. Break up small items e.g. minced meat, frequently during defrosting. TIPS 1 Check foods during defrosting. Foods vary in their defrosting speed. 2 It is not necessary to cover the food. 3 Always turn or stir the food especially when the oven “beepsʼʼ. Shield if necessary (see point 5). 4 Minced meat/chops/chicken portions should be broken up or separated as soon as possible and placed in a single layer.

Select GRILL power Select Cooking Time Press once for Grill 1 (High), twice for Grill 2 (Medium) or three times for Grill 3 Press Start. using Time/Weight Dial (Max. 90 mins). (DO NOT PREHEAT GRILL) The GRILL will glow on and off during cooking – this is normal. Always clean the oven after using the GRILL and before using microwave or Combination. Never cover foods when grilling. Most foods require turning halfway during cooking.
Combination Cooking When settng combination cooking it is possible to firstly set either the grill level or microwave power. If setting the grill power first: Select Grill Power. Press once for Grill 1 (High), twice for Grill 2 (Medium) or 3 times for Grill 3 (Low). Once Medium 600 W Twice Low 440 W 3 Times Simmer 250 W 4 Times Warm 100 W Press this pad until the power you require appears in the display window. N.B.
Combination Cooking *It is not possible to use High power on Combination, because the food would overcook by Microwave before browning and crisping by the Grill. Combination cooking is ideal for many foods. The microwave power cooks them quickly, whilst the grill gives traditional browning and crisping. Place food on Grill Rack on turntable. Place a heatproof dish (eg. Pyrex® plate) underneath to catch fat and drips. The metal Grill Rack is designed to be used for Combination and Grilling.
Combination Cooking Some foods should be cooked on Combination without using the Grill Rack or Panacrunch Pan i.e. roasts, gratins, crumbles and puddings. The food should be placed in a heatproof non-metallic dish and place directly onto the turntable. CONTAINERS TO USE DO NOT use plastic MICROWAVE containers on Combination Programs (unless suitable for combination cooking). Dishes must be able to withstand the heat of the top grill – heatproof glass e.g. Pyrex® or ceramic are ideal.
Panacrunch Pan THE ʻCONCEPTʼ Some foods cooked by microwave can become soft and soggy. Your Panacrunch Pan accessory will brown and crisp pizzas, quiches, pies, and breaded products just as a conventional oven. Your Panasonic Panacrunch Pan works by absorbing microwave energy and transferring this as heat to crisp the base of the food. The microwave oven then heats up the food directly and browns the top of the food by the grill.
Panacrunch Pan 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. Panacrunch Auto Weight Programs It is necessary to preheat the Panacrunch Pan for the Panacrunch Programs.
Auto Weight Cook Programs This feature allows you to cook or reheat foods by setting the weight only. The oven determines the Microwave power level and/or Grill level, then the cooking time automatically. Select the category of food and then just enter the weight. The weight must be entered in grams. or Select the desired Auto Weight Program, by pressing the Auto Weight program pads. Enter the weight by turning the Time/Weight Dial. Turning the dial slowly will count up in 10g steps.

Cooking and Reheating Guidelines Most foods reheat very quickly in your oven by HIGH power. Meals can be brought back to serving temperature in just minutes and will taste freshly cooked and NOT leftover. Always check food is piping hot and return to oven if necessary. As a general rule, always cover wet foods, e.g. soups, casseroles and plated meals. Do not cover dry foods e.g. bread rolls, mince pies, sausage rolls etc.
Cooking and Reheating Guidelines CHRISTMAS PUDDINGS AND LIQUIDS - CAUTION MINCE PIES - CAUTION 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. Take great care when reheating these items. See Page 8. Do not leave unattended. Do not add extra alcohol.
