Safety Instructions READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE Precautions to be taken when using Microwave Ovens for Heating foodstuffs INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE. A microwave oven should only be used if an inspection confirms all of the following conditions: 1. The door fits squarely and securely and opens and closes smoothly. 2. The door hinges are in good condition. 3. The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are neither buckled nor deformed. 4.
Installation and General Instructions General Use Food 1. In order to maintain high quality, do not operate the oven when empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or water is present to absorb energy. This can lead to damage to the microwave oven including arcing within the oven cavity. 2. If smoke is observed, press the STOP/RESET Pad and leave door closed in order to stifle any flames.
Microwaves and How They Work Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves similar to those used by a radio, including AM, FM and CB. They are similar to a television where the radio waves are converted to a picture on the screen. However, microwaves are much shorter than radio waves; approximately twelve centimetres wave length. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube (which is the heart of the microwave oven).
Cookware and Utensils Guide (continued) Plastics Metal Plastic dishes, cups and some freezer containers should be used with care in a microwave oven. Choose plastic containers carefully, as some plastic containers may become soft, melt and may scorch. The majority of plastic dishes, even those designed for use in the microwave oven, are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat or sugar content, or for lengthy cooking times.
Feature Diagram Glass Tray 1. 2. 3. 4. Do not operate the oven without the Roller Ring and Glass Tray in place. Only use the Glass Tray specifically designed for this oven. Do not substitute another Glass Tray. If Glass Tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water. Do not cook directly on Glass Tray. Always place food on a microwave-safe dish, or on a rack set in a microwave-safe dish. 5.

To Defrost To Defrost using Turbo Defrost This feature allows you to defrost meat, poultry and seafood automatically by just setting the weight of the food. 1 Set Weight The shape and size of the food will determine the maximum weight the oven can accommodate. The recommended maximum weight of food depends on the oven cavity size. Weight must be programmed in kilograms and tenths of a kilogram (0.1 kg ~ 3.0 kg). For best results, the minimun recommended weight is 0.2 kg. Enter weight.
Defrosting Tips and Techniques Preparation for Freezing: 1. Heavy-duty plastic wraps, bags and freezer wrap are suitable. 2. Freeze meats, poultry and fish in packages with only 1 or 2 layers of food. To aid in separating layers, place two pieces of wax paper between them. 3. REMOVE ALL AIR and seal securely. 4. LABEL package with type and cut of meat, date and weight. 5. Defrosting times given in the charts are for thoroughly frozen foods (i.e. at least 24 hours in freezer maintained at -18°C or lower).
To Cook Using Sensor Cook Sensor Cook allows you to cook foods without selecting times and power levels. The sensor detects the heat and humidity generated by the food and cooks your food automatically. Place food into an appropriate sized dish for the volume of food you are cooking. Cover securely with plastic wrap or a securely fitting lid (do not use any snap closing lids). Plastic dishes are not suitable as a secure seal cannot be achieved and inaccurate cooking may result.
To Reheat Using Sensor Reheat If desired, press More / Less Pad. Press After the heat and humidity is detected by the SENSOR, the remaining time appears in the Display Window and begins to count down. Press For best results on Sensor Reheat, follow these recommendations: 1. Food being reheated should weigh between 125 g and 1.0 kg. For foods weighing less than 125 g and more than 1.0 kg, use a manual micro power setting. 2.

Before Requesting Service THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL The oven causes interference with my TV. 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, hair dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven. Steam accumulates on the oven door and warm air comes from the oven vents. During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food.
Care of your Microwave Oven Note: The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed. 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 harzardous situation. BEFORE CLEANING: Unplug at socket of the oven. If impossible, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on. Inside of the oven: Wipe with a damp cloth.

fast and even cooking. Some of these techniques are similar to those used in conventional cooking, but because microwaves produce heat very quickly the following techniques are extremely important. It’s a must for you to be familiar with the following tips. Food Characteristics Techniques for Preparation Size and Quantity Timing Small portions cook faster than large portions. As you increase the quantity of food you put into the microwave oven, you must also increase your cooking time.
Techniques for Preparation Converting Your Favourite Conventional Recipes for Microwave Cooking Covering Microwave Recipe Techniques Covering food minimizes the microwave cooking time. Because microwave cooking is done with time and not direct heat, the rate of evaporation cannot be easily controlled. However, this can be corrected by using different materials to cover dishes. Plastic wrap is the best substitute for a lid as it creates a tighter seal and so it retains more heat and steam.
Menu Planning for Microwave Cooking Increasing • To increase a recipe from 4 to 6 servings, increase each ingredient listed by half. • To increase a recipe from 4 to 8 servings, double each ingredient listed. • For larger quantities of a recipe, a large dish should be used. Make sure that the dish is deep enough to prevent the recipe from boiling over during cooking. • Make sure to cover, stir or rearrange food as directed in the recipe and always check the food during cooking.
Converting Recipes from Other Sources Reheating by Sensor Cook (125 g - 1.0 kg) One of the most common uses for a microwave oven is to reheat food. Your Panasonic microwave allows you to either reheat by placing food into the oven and you choose the micro power level and length of heating time or you may reheat automatically by using the SENSOR REHEAT Pad on your microwave. Following are some directions for reheating pre-cooked foods from either frozen refrigerator temperature or room temperature.
Reheating by Micro Power - Frozen Pre-cooked Foods FROZEN ITEM (Pre-cooked) POWER TIME (in minutes) BREAD & BAKED PRODUCT Bread 1 slice 1 loaf P7 P7 10 - 15 sec 1-3 6 rolls P6 1-2 Do not let bread get hot, or it will become rubbery and dry out. Remove whole loaf from original wrapper. Place on paper towel to absorb moisture. Cheesecake (450 g) P3 5-7 Remove from container. Defrost on plate. Muffins - 4 (400 g) P7 1 1 ⁄2 - 2 Place onto paper towel lined plate.
IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN REHEATING COLD FOODS IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN REHEATING FOODS FROM THE FREEZER STARTING TEMPERATURE — Foods taken from the refrigerator will take longer to reheat than foods from room temperature. Quantity — One serving heats faster than several servings. When heating large quantities, stir food to ensure even heating. It is quicker to heat individual plates of food than large quantities in a casserole dish.
