We are glad you have chosen to purchase a PANASONIC microwave/Convection 
Oven. 
Before operating this oven, please read these instructions completely.
If you have only used a microwave oven for reheating and defrosting, with 
Panasonic’s Inverter Technology, you can be reassured of excellent results when 
cooking a variety of foods, as the ‘soft’ penetration of microwave energy to the 
centre of food helps prevent overcooking on edges and surfaces. Foods can now 
be gently simmered without the concern of boil over.
You also have the added advantage of cooking with either convection or grill to 
achieve perfect browning and crisping of foods. Combination allows you to cook 
with speed as well as browning at the same time.
After reading the introductory chapter, I am sure you will be able to master the 
basic technique and thereby develop a firm understanding of your new oven. 
This book includes recipes from starters to desserts.
Start experimenting now, and enjoy the first class results you will achieve by using 
your new microwave/convection oven.

Installation and Earthing Instructions
(continuance)
General Use
 . 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  .
2 .  Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials 
in the oven .  They may catch on fire  .
3 .  Do not use recycled paper products, unless the 
paper product is labelled as safe for microwave 
oven use  . Recycled paper products may contain 
impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires  
when used .
4 .  Do not use newspapers or paper bags for 
cooking .
5 .  Do not hit or strike control panel .  Damage to 
controls may occur  .
6 .  POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from 
food is transferred to the cooking container and 
from the container to Ceramic Tray  . The tray can 
be very hot after removing the cooking container 
from the oven .
7 .  Do not store flammable materials next to, on top 
of, or in the oven .  It could be a fire hazard .
8 .  Do not cook food directly on Ceramic Tray unless 
indicated in recipes  . (Food should be placed in a   
suitable cooking utensil .)
9  . 
Do NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other 
non-food products  . Do NOT clean this oven with any product that is labeled as containing corrosive 
chemicals  . The heating of corrosive chemicals in this oven may cause microwave radiation leaks.
0 . When using the COMBINATION mode, never place any aluminum or metal container directly 
on the wire rack .  Always insert a heatproof, glass 
plate or dish between the wire rack and the 
aluminum container  . This will prevent sparking 
that may damage the oven .
 . It is recommended not to use the wire rack when 
cooking in the MICROWAVE mode only  .
General Instructions
Earthing Instructions
This microwave oven must be earthed . In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for 
the electric current . This microwave oven is equipped 
with a cord having an earthing wire with an earthing 
plug .  The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is 
properly installed and earthed .
WARNING - Improper use of the earthing plug can 
result in a risk of electric shock .
Circuit
Your microwave oven should be operated on a 
separate  0 A circuit from other appliances  . Failure 
to do this may cause the power board fuse to blow, 
and/or food to cook slower  . Do not insert higher 
value fuse in the power board .
Fan Motor Operation
After using the oven, the fan rotates to cool the 
electric components  . Do not switch the electricity off 
for 5 minutes after using the oven .  This continuance 
of fan operation is perfectly normal, and you can take out the food from the oven while the fan 
operates .
2 . If ceramic tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning 
or placing in water  .
Food
 . 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 .  Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash, 
chicken wing and sausages are examples of 
foods with non porous skins  . This type of food 
must be pierced before cooking, to prevent 
bursting .
4 .  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  .
5 . 
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  .

General Instructions
Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves similar to those used by a radio, including 
AM, FM and CB .
Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube (which is the heart of the microwave 
oven) .
From the magnetron tube, microwave energy is 
transmitted to the oven cavity  . The microwaves are 
converted to heat in the food .  The microwaves enter 
from the outside of the food and travel through the 
food . Continued cooking to the centre occurs by 
conduction .
Although pacemakers used to be affected by microwaves (as well as by other radio waves), they are now shielded and are not bothered by these 
interferences  . This allows people with pacemakers to 
sit calmly by their radio or television and cook with 
microwave ovens  .
When the microwaves come in contact with a substance, any one or a combination of three things 
may occur . They can be:
 .  REFLECTED
2 .  TRANSMITTED
3 .  ABSORBED
Reflection
Metal substances REFLECT microwave energy because there is no absorption and there is no 
heating .  This is why the oven interior is either 
stainless steel or paint-coated steel .  This ensures 
that the microwaves are kept inside the cavity and evenly distributed throughout the food with the help 
of the turntable .
Transmission
Such substances as paper, glass and plastic TRANSMIT microwave energy and do not become 
hot except from food .  Because these substances 
do not reflect or absorb microwave energy, they are 
ideal materials for microwave cooking containers  .
Absorption
Food contains moisture and will ABSORB microwave energy, which causes the moisture molecules within the food to vibrate at an incredible 
rate (2,450,000,000 times per second) . Friction, 
created by vibration, produces heat energy which is 
conducted throughout the food .
6 . 
COOKING TIMES given in the cookbook section are APPROXIMATE. Factors that may affect cooking time are preferred degree of cooking, moisture content, starting temperature, altitude, volume, size, shape of food and utensils 
used .
 As you become familiar with the oven, you 
will be able to adjust for these factors  .
7 . 
It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN OVERCOOK foods. If food is undercooked, it can always be returned to the oven for further 
cooking .  If food is overcooked, nothing can be 
done  . Always start with minimum cooking times 
recommended . 8 . 
Extreme care should be taken when cooking 
popcorn  . Cook for minimum time as recommended 
by manufacturer  . Use the directions suitable for 
the wattage of your oven .  NEVER leave oven 
unattended when popping popcorn .
9  .  Take care when heating food in foil trays  . Trays 
should be no deeper than 2 cm and should not 
touch the sides of the oven walls  . If you are 
unsure of the heating time, do not leave the oven 
unattended .

Cookware and Utensil Guide
Plastics
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 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 time . Most microwave plastic dishes 
should not be used for longer than 3 to 5 minutes 
on HIGH power  . These dishes, although not suitable 
for extended cooking, may be successfully used for 
defrosting or for use on lower power levels  .
Cooking Bags designed to withstand boiling, freezing, or conventional heating are microwave 
safe . Prepare bags according to manufacturers' 
directions  . When cooking by microwave, DO NOT 
use wire twist-ties to close bag .  They can act as an 
antenna and cause arcing (sparks) .  
DO NOT COOK IN PLASTIC FOOD STORAGE 
BAGS .
Plastic Wrap such as GLAD WRAP® can be used 
to cover dishes in most recipes  . Over an extended 
heating time, some disfiguration of the wrap may 
occur  . When removing plastic wrap "covers" as well 
as any glass lid be careful to remove it away from 
you to avoid steam burns  .
Loosen plastic but let dish stand covered .
Browning Dishes
NOTE:  Browning dishes are no longer available  . This information is supplied to assist people who already 
own a browning dish .
Browning dishes are used to sear chops, meat 
patties, steaks etc .  A special coating on the bottom 
of the dish absorbs the microwave energy and 
becomes very hot . When foods are added to the 
dish, the result is a seared effect .  Preheat the dish 
according to the manufacturers' directions  . Add 
food to be seared and heat according to recipe or 
personal preference  . Use pot holders to remove 
the dish from the Microwave Oven .  Do not use the 
browning dish on or in a conventional stove  .
Remember:Food can be covered with a loose sheet of 
absorbent towel to prevent splattering .
Do not attempt to deep fry in the browning dish or microwave oven as you cannot control the 
temperature of the oil .
It is important to use correct containers when 
cooking in a microwave oven . The following will help 
you to make the right selection .
How to Test a Container for Safe Microwave Oven Use
Fill a  -cup glass measure with water and place it in 
the microwave oven along with the container to be 
tested; heat one minute on HIGH .  If the container is 
microwave oven safe, it should remain comfortably 
cool and the water should be hot . If the container 
becomes very hot, it has absorbed some microwave 
energy and should not be used . This test cannot be 
used for plastic containers  .
Paper Products and Freezer Wrap
Waxed paper, paper plates, cups and napkins should not be used for heating or cooking food by 
Convection, Combination and Grill .  Freezer wrap 
should not be used as it is not heat resistant and 
may melt . Paper towels, greaseproof paper and bake 
paper may be safely used for short periods of time 
for covering or lining .
Glass, Ceramic and China
Heat-Resistant glass cookware is invaluable in 
microwave cooking .  Many of these items are readily 
available in most homes: glass jugs, mixing bowls, loaf dishes, covered casseroles, oblong baking 
dishes, pie plates and round or square cake dishes  . 
Examples of this type of cookware are Pyrex® and 
Corningware® .
Dinnerware  can be used for microwave heating .  
Many brands of dinnerware are microwave safe  . 
Check the care information for reference to 
microwave use for dinnerware and serving pieces  . If 
dinnerware is marked ovenproof, it frequently is safe 
to use in the microwave oven .  However, to be sure, 
check by conducting a microwave dish test .
Several types of glassware and dinnerware are 
not recommended for use in the Microwave Oven .  
Do not use dishes with metallic trim or containers 
with metal parts . Do not use cups or mugs with 
glued on handles, as they may fall off with continued 
heating .  Do not use delicate glassware  . Although the 
glassware may be transparent to microwave energy the heat from the food may cause the glassware to 
crack .

Cookware and Utensil Guide
Metal
Metal cookware or utensils, and those with metallic trim, 
should NOT be used on microwave  . Since microwave 
energy is reflected by metal, foods in metal containers will 
not cook evenly  . There is also the possibility of "arcing" .
Although metal utensils must be avoided in microwave 
cooking, some metal can be helpful when used correctly  .
Aluminium foil can be used safely, if certain guidelines 
are followed, to prevent overcooking . Small pieces of foil 
are used to cover areas such as chicken wings, tips of roasts, or other thin parts that cook before the rest of the 
recipe is finished .  Make sure foil is attached securely and 
doesn't touch sides of oven; otherwise arcing may occur  . 
Foil lined containers, either cardboard or plastic, should NOT be used in the microwave oven as arcing could 
occur  . 
Metal twist-ties, either paper or plastic coated, should 
NOT be used on Microwave or Combination .
Frozen dinner trays can be used on Microwave if the 
container is no deeper than 2 cm and is filled with food .  
They may be used on Convection .
Metal skewers can not be used on Microwave as arcing 
may occur  . Wooden skewers are readily available and 
give the same result .
Shells: Scalloped baking shells are best used during 
reheating and for short periods of cooking time only  .
Thermometers are available for use in microwave 
ovens  . DO NOT USE CONVENTIONAL MERCURY 
TYPE CANDY OR MEAT THERMOMETERS in food while cooking in the microwave oven or on 
Combination .
Jars and Bottles
Jars and Bottles can be used to warm food to 
serving temperature, if the lid is removed first .  
Cooking should not be done in these containers since most are not heat resistant and during extended heating times, heat from food would cause 
cracking or breaking .
Straw, Wicker, and Wood
Straw and wicker baskets may be used in the microwave oven for a short period of time to warm 
rolls or bread . Large wooden utensils, such as bowls 
or cutting boards should NOT be used for prolonged heating as the microwave energy may cause the 
wood to become dry and brittle  .
