Installation and Earthing Instructions
Important Instructions
Placement of Oven
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric
shock, fire, injury to persons or excessive
microwave energy:
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 and 5 cm on both sides. If one
side of the oven is placed flush to a wall, the
other side or top must not be blocked.
a) Do not block air vents. If they are blocked
during operation, the oven may overheat. If the
oven overheats, a thermal safety device will
turn the oven off. The oven will remain
1. Read all instructions before using microwave
oven.
2. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers - (for example, closed glass jars and
sealed baby bottles with a teat) - may explode
and should not be heated in a microwave oven.
3. Use this microwave oven only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
inoperable until it has cooled.
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.
4. As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.
5. Do not operate this microwave oven, if it is not
working properly, or if it has been damaged or
dropped.
2. The surfaces of top, back and left side of the
oven become hot during operation. Do not allow
the mains cable to come in contact with the
surface of the oven.
6. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
7. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
8. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter.
10.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
b) Remove wire twist-ties from bags before
placing bag in oven.
c) If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep
oven door closed, turn oven off at the wall
switch, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
3. This oven was manufactured for household use
only.
4. This oven may be built into a wall cabinet, if
desired. This microwave oven is designed and
approved for use only with a genuine Panasonic
trim kit for Model number listed in the operating
instructions (page 30). Installation with any other
trim kit may void the warranty.
11.Do not remove outer panel from oven.
Earthing Instructions
Circuit
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.
Your microwave oven should be operated on a
separate 10 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 may rotate to cool the
electric components. This is perfectly normal, and
you can take out the food from the oven while the
fan operates.
3
General Instructions
microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the
correct canning temperature. Improperly canned
food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
General Use
1. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
2. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave
oven.
2. 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.
3. Do not boil eggs in their shell and whole hard -
boiled eggs. (unless otherwise stated in recipes.)
Pressure will build up and the eggs will explode.
3. If smoke is observed, press STOP/RESET pad
and leave the door closed in order to stifle any
flames. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off
power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
4. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, whole squash and
sausages are examples of foods with nonporous
skins. This type of food must be pierced before
cooking, to prevent bursting.
4. Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other
materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.
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.
5. 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.
6. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for
cooking.
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.
7. Do not hit or strike control panel. Damage to
controls may occur.
8. 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.
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.
9. Do not store flammable materials next to, on top
of, or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard.
10.Do not cook food directly on Ceramic Tray unless
indicated in recipes. (Food should be placed in a
suitable cooking utensil.)
11.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.
12.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.
7. COOKING TIMES given in the cookbook
section are APPROXIMATE. Factors that may
affect cooking time are preferred degree of
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.
8. 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.
13.It is recommended not to use the wire rack when
cooking in the MICROWAVE mode only.
14.If ceramic tray is hot, aloow to cool before
cleaning or placing in water.
9. 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.
15.Look at the oven from time to time when food is
heated or cooked in disposal containers of
plastic, paper or other combustible materials, as
these types of containers ignite if overheated.
11.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.
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
When the microwaves come in contact with a
substance, any one or a combination of three things
may occur. They can be:
1. REFLECTED
2. TRANSMITTED
3. ABSORBED
Cookware and Utensil Guide
It is important to use correct containers when
cooking in a microwave oven. The following will help
you to make the right selection.
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®.
How to Test a Container for Safe Microwave
Oven Use
Fill a 1-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.
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.
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.
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
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 scorch.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.

To Cook on Convection
1 Level Convection:
2 Level Convection:
Just like a conventional oven, the convection oven
has a heating element to give the dry heating
needed to produce crisp, browned exteriors.
Convection cooking has the addition of a fan to
produce conventional results with a slightly reduced
cooking time. Convection cooking temperatures
range from 100˚C to 250˚C. Most conventional
recipes will be suitable for use. Follow the minimum
suggested cooking times and add additional time if
required. Convection recipes are also available
throughout the recipe section.
2 Level Convection is available for when you wish to
cook a larger quantity of food. The entire oven cavity
may then be utilised. For example, cooking two
trays of biscuits Foods placed on Low Rack may
require a slightly longer cooking time than those on
High Rack.

To Cook on Combination: Convection & Microwave
Combination cooking is ideal for roasting meats,
poultry and cooking cakes, pastries and slices.
Combination cooking automatically alternates
between Convection and Microwave heating.
When cooking by Combination, place dishes to be
cooked on the Ceramic Tray. When roasting meat,
the roasts may be placed directly on Low Rack.
Sausages and rissoles may also be cooked in this
way.
The advantage of Combination cooking is that it
gives you the browning of Convection and often
shortens the conventional cooking time. Time is also
reduced as preheating is not required.
Place a heatproof glass or ceramic dish under the
rack to catch any drips from the roast. Alternately,
elevate the roast on a roasting rack in a baking dish
and place directly on Ceramic Tray.
To calculate cooking time start by cooking for
approximately 2/3 of the conventional cooking time
and add additional time If required. For examples of
recipes and cooking times, consult recipes in the
recipe section.
Ovenproof cookware, including ceramic is suitable
for use on Combination cooking. Cakes, slices,
desserts etc. may be cooking in metal cookware
providing there is suitable quantity of food to be
absorbed by the microwave heat. For example, do
not place a small amount of food in a large metallic
dish as arcing may occur.

Before Requesting Service
ALL 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 dryer, 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. Most
of the steam and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which
circulates in the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on
cooler surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal.
I accidentally ran my
microwave oven without any
food in it.
Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven.
However, we do not recommend this to be done.
There are humming and
clicking noises from my oven
when I cook by Combination.
These noises occur as the oven automatically switches from
microwave power to Convection/Grill, to create the Combination
setting. This is normal.
The oven has an odour and
generates smoke when using
the Convection, Combination
and Grill function.
It is essential that your oven is wiped out regularly particularly after
cooking. Any fat and grease that builds up on the roof and walls of the
oven will begin to smoke if not cleaned.

Care of Your Microwave Oven
AFTER CLEANING:
BEFORE CLEANING:
Be sure to replace Roller Ring and Ceramic Tray
in the proper position and press Stop/Reset Pad
to clear the display window.
Unplug at socket of the oven. If impossible, leave
oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally
turning on.
Inside of the oven:
Ceramic Tray:
Outside oven surfaces and
Wipe with a damp cloth. Mild
detergent may be used if the
oven gets very dirty. The use of
harsh detergent or abrasives is
not recommended. Do not use
oven cleaners on the top of the
oven.
Remove and wash in warm
soapy water or in a dishwasher.
If grease accumulates, clean
with a non-abrasive nylon mesh
scouring pad and nonabrasive
cleaners.
back vents:
Clean with a damp cloth. To
prevent from damage to the
operating parts inside the oven,
water should not be allowed to
seep into ventilation openings.
Control Panel:
If the control panel becomes
wet, clean with a soft, dry
cloth. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasives on the
control panel.
Oven Door:
The roller ring and oven cavity floor:
Wipe with a soft cloth when steam accumulates
inside or around the outside of the oven door. This
may occur when the oven is operated under high
humidity conditions and in no way indicates a
malfunction of the unit or microwave leakage.
Wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild
detergent water or window cleaner and dry. The
roller ring may be washed in mild soapy water or
dishwasher. These areas should be kept clean to
avoid excessive noise.
After GRILL or COMBINATION cooking, the oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth squeezed in soapy
water. If the oven is not cleaned occasionally to eliminate this grease, it can accumulate and cause the oven
to “SMOKE” during use. To avoid smoking, run the oven without food on Grill - 1 for 20 minutes.
