Food Preparation
Follow these Safety Precautions when cooking in your oven.
IMPORTANT
Proper cooking depends upon the power, the time setting
and quantity of food. If you use a smaller portion than
recommended but cook at the time for the recommended
portion, fire could result.
1) HOME CANNING / STERILIZING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL
QUANTITIES OF FOODS
• DO NOT use your oven for home canning. Your oven cannot
maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. The
food may be contaminated and then spoil.
• DO NOT use the oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles,
etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature
needed for sterilization.
• DO NOT dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven.
Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content
can dry out, scorch or catch on fire if overheated.
2) DEEP FAT FRYING
• DO NOT deep fat fry in your oven. Cooking oils may burst into
flames and may cause damage to the oven and may result in
burns.
3) OVEN CAVITY FLOOR
• Cooking containers get hot during cooking. Heat is
transferred from the HOT food to the container and the Oven
Cavity Floor. Use oven gloves when removing containers
from the oven or when removing lids from cooking
containers, to avoid burns.
• The Oven Cavity Floor will get hot during cooking. It should
be allowed to cool before handling.
4) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS
• DO NOT use paper towels or cloths that contain a synthetic
fiber woven into them. The synthetic fiber may cause the
towel to ignite. Use paper toweling under supervision.
5) OVEN COOKING BAGS
• DO NOT use cooking bags, unless it is heat-proof.
6) THERMOMETERS
• DO NOT put thermometers in your oven when cooking.
After cooking, verify food by an instant read thermometer.
7) BABY FORMULA / BABY FOOD
• DO NOT heat baby formula or baby food in the oven. The
glass jar or surface of the food may appear warm while the
interior can be so hot as to burn the infant’s mouth and
esophagus.
8) REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS
• When reheating pastry products, check temperatures of any
fillings before eating.
9) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES
• DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the
preparation of food.
Fan Motor Operation
After using the oven repeatedly or for long time, the fan may operate to cool the electric components. This is perfectly normal, and
you can take out the food from the oven while the fan operates.
It is recommended to keep the oven plugged in until the Fan Motor completely stops operating.
Before Using Your Oven
Before using the oven for the first time, wipe excessive oil off in the oven cavity and operate the oven without food on Combo 1 for
5 minutes with the Grill Pan on the Oven Cavity Floor. This will allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be burned off. This is
the only time the oven is used without food. (with the exception of preheating on Bake and Grill feature)
Oven Light
Not User Replaceable. When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult Panasonic for the nearest authorized
service centre for examination or repair. Contact information is provided in the warranty page 35.
