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 grille is not damaged or broken.
2. The door fits squarely and securely and opens
and closes smoothly.
3. The door hinges are in good condition.
4. The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are
neither buckled nor deformed.
5. The door seals are neither covered with food nor
have large burn marks.
Precautions:
Microwave radiation from microwave ovens can
cause harmful effects if the following precautions are
not taken:
1. Never tamper with or deactivate the interlocking
devices on the door.
2. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object,
through a grille or between the door and the oven
while the oven is operating.
3. Never place saucepans, unopened cans or other
heavy metal objects in the oven.
4. Do not let other metallic articles, e.g. fast food foil
containers, touch the side of the oven.
5. Clean the oven cavity, the door and the seals with
water and a mild detergent at regular intervals.
Never use any form of abrasive cleaner that may
scratch or scour surfaces around the door.
6. Always use the oven with the trays or cookware
recommended by the manufacturer.
7. Never operate the oven without a load (i.e. an
absorbing material such as food or water) in the
oven cavity unless specifically allowed in the
manufacturer’s literature.
8. For horizontally hinged doors, never rest heavy
objects such as food containers on the door while
it is open.
9. Do not place sealed containers in the microwave
oven. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or a

Installation and General Instructions
(continued)
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. If glass tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or
placing in water.
13. When using the COMBINATION mode, never
place any aluminum or metal container directly
on the wire rack. Always insert a heat-proof,
grass plate or dish between the wire rack and the
aluminum container. This will prevent sparking
that may damage the oven.
14. During cooking, some steam will condense inside
and/or on the oven door. This is normal and safe.
Steam will disappear after the oven is cool down.
15. Metallic containers for food and beverages are
not allowed during microwave cooking.
16. It is recommended not to use the Wire Rack when
cooking in the MICROWAVE mode only.
17. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
Placement of Oven
This oven is intended for Counter-top use only. It is
not intended for built-in use or use inside a cupboard.
1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface.
It shall not be placed in a cabinet. 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. Do not remove feet.
5 cm
15 cm
10 cm
OPEN
Counter-top
(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
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.
2. This oven was manufactured for household use only.
3. If the oven is designed for installation into a wall
cabinet, use the proper trim kit available from a
local Panasonic dealer. Follow all instructions
packed with the kit.
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
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. 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.
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.
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 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.
(e) Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must
be taken when handling the container.
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.
7. COOKING TIMES given in the cookbook 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.
9. Extreme care should be taken when cooking
popcorn in a microwave oven. Cook for minimum
time as recommended by manufacturer. Use
the directions suitable for the wattage of your
microwave oven. NEVER leave oven unattended
when popping popcorn.
10. When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of
ignition.
11. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars
shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature
checked before consumption, in order to avoid
burns.

Note
1. The room temperature surrounding the oven should be below 35 °C.
2. Be sure the glass tray, the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the
microwave are dry before placing food in the oven. Residual beads of moisture turning into
steam can mislead the sensor.
3. Food should always be covered loosely, but completely, with plastic warp. (Do not use any
snap closing lids.)
4. DO NOT open the oven door until 2 beeps sound and cooking time appears in the display
Window. Doing so will cause inaccurate cooking since the steam from food is no longer
contained within the oven cavity. Once the cooking time begins to count down, the oven
door may be opened to stir, turn, or rearrange foods.

125 g and more than 1.0 kg, use a manual micro power setting.
Sensor Cook Setting
The Sensor Cooking features enable you to cook a variety of foods at Sensor of a pad. There is no need to select
the power level or cooking time as the foods are automatically cooked by detecting a build-up of steam on the
humidity sensor. As foods cook in a microwave, steam is produced. When foods are covered, the steam will build
up and escape from the dish and burst. This burst of steam is detected by the humidity sensor and then the oven
automatically calculate the remaining cooking time. All you need to do is to select the correct cooking category.
1. Select desired menu

Food Characteristics
Microwaves are a form of high frequency
electromagnetic waves (app. 12 cm wave length)
similar to those used by a radio. Electricity is
converted into microwave energy by the magnetron
tube. The microwaves travel from the magnetron
tube to the oven cavity where they are reflected,
transmitted or absorbed.
Reflection
Microwaves are reflected by
metal just as a ball is bounced
off a wall. A combination of
stationary (interior walls) and
rotating metal (glass tray or
stirrer fan) helps assure that the
microwaves are well distributed
within the oven cavity produce
even cooking.
Transmission
Microwaves pass through some
materials such as paper, glass
and plastic much like sunlight
shining through a window.
Because these substances
do not absorb or reflect the
microwave energy, they are
ideal materials for microwave
oven cooking containers.
Absorption
Microwaves are absorbed by
food. They penetrate to a depth
of about 2-4 cm. Microwave
energy excites the molecules
in the food (especially water,
fat and sugar molecules), and
causes them to vibrate very
quickly.
The vibration causes friction and heat is produced. In
large foods, the heat which is produced by friction is
conducted to the center to finish cooking the food.
Microwaves and How They Work
FOOD CHARACTERISTICS
Food characteristics which affect conventional
cooking are more pronounced with microwave
heating.
Size –– Small portions cook faster than large ones.
Shape –– Uniform
sizes heat
more evenly. To
compensate for
irregular shapes,
place thin pieces
toward the centre
of the dish and
thicker pieces toward the edge of dish.
Starting Temperatures –– Room temperature foods
take less time to heat up than refrigerator frozen
foods.
Bone and Fat ––
Both affect heating.
Bones may cause
irregular heating.
Large amounts of fat
absorb microwave
energy and meat
next to these areas
may overcook.
Density –– Porous, airy foods take less time to heat
than heavy, compact foods.
- Eng-26 -
- Eng-27 -
English
Cooking Techniques
Timing
A range in heating time is given in each recipe.
The time range compensates for the uncontrollable
differences in food shapes, starting temperature
and regional preferences. Always cook food for the
minimum cooking time given in the recipe and check
for doneness. If the food is undercooked, continue
cooking. It is easy to add time to an undercooked
product. Once the food is overcooked, nothing can be
done!
Spacing
Individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes
and hors d’oeuvres, will heat more evenly if placed in
the oven equal distance
apart. When possible,
arrange foods in a
circular pattern.
Similarly, when placing foods in a baking dish,
arrange around the outside of dish, not lined up next
to each other. Food
should NOT be stacked
on top of each other.
Piercing
The skin or membranes on some foods will cause
steam to build up during microwave cooking. Foods
must be pierced, scored or have a strip of skin peeled
off before cooking to allow steam to escape.
Eggs:
Pierce egg yolk twice
and egg white several
times with a toothpick.
Whole Clams and Oyster:
Pierce several times with a toothpick.
Whole Potatoes and Vegetables: Pierce with a fork.
Frankfurters and Sausages: Score smoked polish
sausage and frankfurters. Pierce fresh sausage with
a fork.
Browning
Foods will not have the same brown appearance as
conventionally cooked foods or those foods which
are cooked utilizing a browning feature. Meats
and poultry may be coated with browning sauce,
Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce or shake-on
browning sauce. To use, combine browning sauce
with melted butter or margarine; brush on before
cooking.
For quick breads or muffins, brown sugar can be
used in the recipe in place of granulated sugar, or
the surface can be sprinkled with dark spices before
baking.
Covering
As with conventional cooking moisture evaporates
during microwave cooking. Because microwave
cooking is done by time and not direct heat, the rate
of evaporation cannot be easily controlled. This,
however, can be easily corrected by using different
materials to cover dishes. However, unless specified,
a recipe is heated uncovered. Casserole lids or cling
film are used for a tighter seal. Various degrees of
moisture retention are also obtained by using wax
paper or paper towels.
Stirring
Stirring is usually necessary during microwave
cooking. We have noted when stirring is helpful, using
the words once, twice, frequently or occasionally to
describe the amount of stirring required. Always bring
the cooked outside edges toward the centre and the
less cooked centre portions toward the outside.
- Eng-26 -
- Eng-27 -
English
Cooking Techniques (continued)
Turning and Rearranging
It is not possible to stir some foods to redistribute the
heat. At times, microwave energy will concentrate
in one area of a food. To help ensure even cooking,
some foods need to be turned or rearranged. Turn
over large foods such as roasts or turkeys. Generally,
they are turned over once halfway through heating.
Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces,
shrimp or hamburger patties. Rearrange pieces from
the edge to the centre and pieces from the center to
the edge of the dish.
Standing Time
Most foods will continue to cook by conduction after
the microwave oven is turned off. In meat cookery,
the internal temperature will rise 5 °C if allowed to
stand, covered, for 10-20 minutes.
Casseroles and vegetables need a shorter amount of
standing time, but this standing time is necessary to
allow foods to complete cooking in the center without
overcooking on the edges.
Testing for Results
The same test for doneness used in conventional
cooking may be used for microwave cooking.
Cakes are done when a wooden stick comes out
clean and cake pulls away from side of the pan.
Chicken is done when juices are clear yellow and
drumstick moves freely.
Meat is done when fork tender or splits at fibres.
Fish is done when it flakes and is opaque.

cooking such as casseroles, stews, baked chicken,
fish and vegetable dishes. The results from foods
such as cooked soufflles or two-crust pies would be
less than satisfactory. Never attempt to deep fat fry in
your microwave oven. A basic rule, when converting
conventional recipes to microwave recipes, is to cut
the suggested cooking time to a quarter. Also, find
a similar microwave recipe and adapt that time and
power setting. Season meats with herbs and spices
(and half the salt) before cooking; the rest of the salt
after cocking.
Stews are not browned before cooking. Omit any oil
or fat that would be used for browning. Cut stew meat
into 2.5 cm pieces. Cut carrots, potatoes and other
firm vegetables into small pieces. Carrots should be
thinly sliced and potatoes cut into dice.
Cover with glass lid and cook at 1000 W to bring
liquid to a boil and cook at 100 W until tender. Stir
occasionally. Note: A small plate placed on top of
the meat and vegetables will help stop the meat
overcooking.
Casseroles microwave cook well. Cut foods into
uniform pieces. Condensed soup makes a good base
for casseroles.
Select a dish that is large enough to allow for stirring.
Cooking covered with a glass lid or cling film reduces
cooking time. Stir occasionally during cooking. To
keep crumb topping crisp sprinkle on before stand
time.
Heating Frozen Foods
Most frozen convenience foods have microwave
heating directions on the back of the package. Refer
to these directions for recommended power levels,
heating times and general instructions.
General Directions for Heating Frozen
Convenience Foods
Pierce pouch vegetables or entrees with a fork or
knife. Place pouch in a dish before heating.
Frozen foods in metal containers deeper than
2 cm such as lasagna or baked stuffed potatoes,
must be removed from the foil container and placed
in an appropriately sized microwave-safe container.
Heat covered with a lid or plastic wrap.
NOTE: If food is difficult to be removed from
container, rinse the bottom of the container with hot
water.
To heat frozen dinner in foil containers, remove
dinner from box, if there is a foil cover, remove it.
Some foods, such as bread, French fries or batter
type desserts such as brownies, do not microwave
well. Remove these types of food from tray. Cover
tray except desserts with plastic wrap. Heat
according to manufacturers’ directions. Place foil tray
in the center of the oven. Foil tray should not touch
oven walls or other metals. Leave at least 2-3 cm
space between foil tray and oven walls. Heat only 1
foil tray in the oven at a time.

DEFROST
Preparing Foods for Freezing
The finished quality of the prepared food will depend
on the original quality before freezing, the care the
food receives during freezing, and the techniques and
times used for defrosting. Select fresh, good quality
food and freeze as soon as possible after purchasing.
Heavy-duty plastic wraps and bags, and freezer wrap
are suitable for use in the freezer. Meats may also
be frozen in their store packaging for short periods of
time.
Notes: If aluminum foil is used for wrapping, all
pieces of foil must be removed before defrosting
prevent arcing.
When WRAPPING FOR FREEZING, arrange meat,
poultry, fish and seafood in thin uniform layers.
Package minced meat in 2.5-5 cm thick rectangular,
square or round shapes.
Remove giblets from fresh whole poultry. (The giblets
may be frozen separately, if desired.) Clean and dry
poultry. Tie legs and wings with string.
Remove all air before sealing plastic bags. LABEL
package with type and cut of meat, date and weight.
FREEZE foods in a freezer which is maintained at -
18 °C or lower. Defrosting time given in the charts on
page 29 are for thoroughly frozen foods. (i.e. foods
should be frozen at least 24 hours before defrosting)
DEFROST
To use, select 300 W and program the defrosting
time. Follow defrosting times and directions given in
this section and page 29.
Techniques for Defrosting
1) Foods should be frozen in moisture and vapor
proof wrapping materials. Small items such as
chops, hamburger patties, fish fillets, poultry
pieces etc. should be frozen in 1 or 2 pieces
layers.
2) Remove original wrapper. Set meat on a
microwave roasting rack placed in a dish. Set
300 W and heat for the time recommended in the
chart on page 29.
3) Turn over meat or poultry two or three times
during defrost. Shield edges and unevenly
shaped ends of roasts halfway through the defrost
cycle.
4) Halfway through the defrost cycle, break apart
ground beef, shrimp, scallops or crab meat.
Separate chops or poultry pieces and remove
meat that is defrosted.
5) Large roast, or whole poultry may still be icy in
center. Allow to stand.

Before Requesting Service
ALL THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL:
The oven causes interference with
my TV.
Some radio, TV, Wi-Fi, cordless telephone, baby monitor, blue tooth
or other wireless equipment 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. 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 and safe. Steam
will disappear after the oven is cool down.
I accidentally operate my microwave
oven without any food in it.
Operating 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 noise occur as the oven automatically switch the Grill. This is
normal.
The oven has an odor and
generates smoke when using
Combination and Grill function.
It is essential that your oven is wiped out regularly particularly after
cooking by Combination or Grill. Any fat and grease that builds up on
the roof and walls of the oven will begin to smoke if not cleaned.
Some smoke will be given off
from the cavity when using Grill,
Combination, for the first time.
It caused by the excessive oil in the cavity and oil used for rust
protection volatilizing.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY
Oven will not turn on.
The oven is not plugged firmly.
Remove plug from outlet, wait
10 seconds and re-insert.
Circuit breaker or fuse is tripped
or blown.
Contact the specified service center.
There is a problem with the
outlet.
Plug another appliance into the outlet
to check if the outlet is working.
Oven will not start
cooking.
The door is not closed completely. Close the oven door securely.
Start Pad was not pressed after
programming.
Press Start Pad.
Another program has already
been entered into the oven.

1. Turn the oven off and remove the power plug
from the wall socket before cleaning, if possible.
2. Keep the oven cavity clean. When food splatters
or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, 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.
3. The outside oven surfaces should be cleaned
with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the
operating parts inside the oven, water should not
be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
4. Do not allow the Control Panel to become
wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use
detergents, abrasives or spray-on cleaners on the
Control Panel. When cleaning the Control Panel,
leave oven door open to prevent oven from
accidentally turning on. After cleaning press Stop/
Reset Pad to clear display window.
5. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside
of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may
occur when the microwave oven is operated
under high humidity conditions and in no way
indicates malfunction of the unit.
6. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass
tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy
water or in a dishwasher.
7. The roller ring and oven cavity floor should be
cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply
wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild
detergent, water or window cleaner and dry.
The roller ring may be washed in mild sudsy water
or dish washer. Cooking vapors collect during
repeated use but in no way affect the bottom
surface or roller ring wheels. When removing the
roller ring from cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to
replace in the proper position.
8. When using the GRILL or cooking in the
COMBINATION mode, some foods may inevitably
splatter grease on to the oven walls. If the oven is
not cleaned, occasionally it may start to “smoke”
during use. These marks will be more difficult to
clean later.
9. After GRILL or COMBINATION cooking the
ceiling and walls of the oven should be cleaned
with a soft cloth squeezed in soapy water.
Particular care should be taken to keep the
window area clean particularly after cooking
by GRILL or COMBINATION. Stubborn spots
inside the oven can be removed by using a small
amount of microwave oven cleaner sprayed onto
a soft damp cloth. Wipe onto problem spots,
leave for recommended time and then wipe off.
Avoid cleaning oven door and the microwave
feed guide area situated on the right hand side of
the cavity wall.
DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN.
A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.
10. When it becomes necessary to replace the oven
light, please consult a dealer to have it replaced.
11. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any
food deposits removed.
