Important Safety Instructions
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, 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. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp
metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass, since
they can scratch the surface, which may result in
shattering of the glass.
7. Always use the oven with the cookware
recommended by the manufacturer.
8. 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.
9. For horizontally hinged doors, never rest heavy
objects such as food containers on the door while
it is open.
10. Do not place sealed containers in the microwave
oven. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or a
teat are considered to be sealed containers.
11. This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
12. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
13. It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent
person to carry out any service or repair operation
that involves the removal of a cover which gives
protection against exposure to microwave energy.
14. The surfaces are liable to get hot during use.
15. The appliance must not be installed behind a
decorative door in order to avoid overheating.
Practical Hints:
1. For initial use of GRILL, CONVECTION and
COMBINATION, if you see white smoke arise, it
is not a malfunction.
2. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on
the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during
GRILL, CONVECTION and COMBINATION. Use
care when opening or closing door and when
inserting or removing food and accessories.
Caution! Hot surfaces
3. The oven has a heating element situated in
the top of the oven. After using the GRILL,
CONVECTION and COMBINATION functions, the
ceiling will be very hot.
4. During use the appliance becomes hot. Care
should be taken to avoid touching heating
elements inside the oven.
5. The accessible parts may become hot when
GRILL, CONVECTION and COMBINATION is in
use. Children should be kept away.
6. Before using GRILL, CONVECTION and
COMBINATION functions for the first time,
operate the oven without food and accessories
on CONVECTION 220 °C for 5 minutes. This will
allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be
burned off. This is the only time that the oven is
operated completely empty.

operates.
– 10 –
Installation and General Instructions
General Use
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
Button and leave door closed in order to stifle any
flames. Disconnect the power cord, and/or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
3. The microwave oven is intended for heating food and
beverages. Drying of food or clothing and heating of
warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth and
similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.
4. Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in
oven. They may catch on fire.
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.
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 the Glass Tray. The Glass
Tray can be very hot after removing the cooking
container from the oven.
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 Glass 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 labelled 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 or Enamel tray. Always insert
a heat-proof and microwave safe, glass plate or
dish between the Wire Rack and the aluminum
container. This will prevent sparking that may
damage the oven.
14. It is recommended not to use the Wire Rack when
cooking in the MICROWAVE mode only.
15. 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.
16. Do not leave the microwave unattended while reheating
or cooking food in disposable containers made of
plastic, paper or other combustible materials, as these
types of containers can ignite if overheated.
17. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not
allowed during microwave cooking.
18. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
Placement of the Oven
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. If one side of the oven is 5 cm
at one side, the other side or top must not be
blocked. Do not remove feet.
(a) Do not block air vents. If they are blocked
during operation, the oven may be overheated
and damaged. When using any cloth over
the oven, the air intake and exhaust should
not be blocked. Do not place a cloth on top
of the unit during GRILL, CONVECTION and
COMBINATION cooking as the top of the oven
gets very hot. Also allow sufficient space on
back and both sides of the oven.
(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.
Building-in your oven
1. This oven is intended for counter-top and built-
in use only. It is not intended for use inside
a cupboard. This oven may be built into a
wall cabinet by using the proper trim kit (NN-
TK81KCSCP) which may be purchased from your
local Panasonic dealer.
2. In case of fitting into an oven housing, please use
Panasonic’s Trim Kit, NN-TK81KCSCP.
3. Microwave ovens should not be built into a unit
directly above a top front venting conventional
cooker. This may be a safety hazard and could
result in damage to your oven. This will invalidate
your one year guarantee.
4. A microwave which is built in must be more
than 850 mm above floor level. Read Trim-Kit
instructions carefully before installation. It is
recommended that the microwave oven is placed
below a conventional oven to avoid heat damage
to the facia of the microwave.
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.
– 11 –
Installation and General Instructions
(continued)
4. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, chicken wings, 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 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.
(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 Cooking Guide
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.
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
are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature
is to be checked before consumption, in order to
avoid burns.
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).
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 losing half of their power every two to three
centimetres. 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 microwaves come in contact with a substance,
any one or combination of three things may occur.
They can be:
1. REFLECTED
2. TRANSMITTED
3. ABSORBED
Reflection:
Metal substances REFLECT microwave energy and
because there is no absorption, there is no heating.
This is why the oven interior is either stainless steel or
epoxy-coated steel. This ensures that the microwaves
are kept inside the cavity and evenly distributed
throughout the food with the help of the Glass Tray.
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 the vibration,
produces heat energy which is conducted throughout
the food.

Cookware and Utensils Guide
It is important to use the correct container when
cooking in a microwave oven. The following will help
you make the right selection.
How to Test a Container for Safe
Microwave Oven Use
TO TEST A CONTAINER FOR SAFE MICROWAVE
OVEN USE: Fill a 1-cup glass measure with cool water
and place it in the microwave oven alongside the empty
container to be tested; heat one (1) minute at 1000 W.
If the container is microwave ovensafe (transparent
to microwave energy), the container should remain
comfortably cool, the water in glass measure should
be hot. If the container is 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. Freezer wrap
should not be used as it is not heat resistant and
may melt. Paper towel, 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 microwave dish test previously mentioned.
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.
Plastic
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. Most microwave plastic dishes
should not be used for longer than 3 to 5 minutes
on 1000 W. These dishes, although not suitable for
extended cooking, may be used successfully 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 manufacturer’s 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.
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.
Metal
Metal cookware or utensils, or those with metallic
trim, should NOT be used in the microwave. Since
microwave energy is reflected by metal, foods in
metal containers will not cook evenly. There is also a
possibility of “arcing”.
Although metal utensils should be avoided in microwave
cooking, some metal can be helpful when used correctly.
Aluminum foil can be used safely, if certain guidelines
are followed, to prevent overcooking. Small pieces of
foil are used to shield 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 in the microwave oven. Frozen dinner
trays can be used in the microwave, if the container
is no deeper than 2 cm and is filled with food. Metal
skewers can not be used in microwave ovens 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.
Straw, Wicker and Wood
Straw and wicker baskets may be used in the
microwave oven for short periods 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.

Tips for Turbo defrost
Boneless meat always demands longer time to defrost than meat with bones, as to meat with bones, we
recommend to subtract 0.5 kg from total weight when it exceeds 2 kg, subtract 0.2-0.3 kg from total when it
weights under 2 kg.
Two buzz beeps
Turn over the meat, chicken, fish and shell fish. Separate the stewed meat, chicken pieces and meat loaf. Apart
the meat loaf from the hamburger. Shield the edge of chicken wings, roast, fat or bones.
Key to defrosting For evenly defrosting, turn over the foods or move the position of the foods in the
containers during the progress of defrosting.
Remove the package of
the raw meat and place
it on the plate.
Shield the front part of
the chicken drumsticks

Shield the head and
tail of the whole fish by
using aluminum foil.
Remove the package of
the fish fillet and place it

To Defrost Using Turbo Defrost
(continued)
Defrosting Guidelines
For Best Results:
1. Place foods in a suitable container. Meat joints and chickens should be placed on an upturned saucer or on
a plastic rack if you have one.
2. Check food during defrosting, as foods vary in their defrosting speed.
3. It is not necessary to cover the food.
4. Always turn or stir the food especially when the oven “beeps’’. Shield if necessary (see point 6).
5. Minced meat/chops/chicken portions should be broken up or separated as soon as possible and placed in a
single layer.
6. Shielding prevents food cooking. It is essential when defrosting chickens and joints of meat. The outside
thaws out first, so protect wings/breast and fat with smooth pieces of aluminium foil secured with cocktail
sticks.
7. Allow standing time so that the centre of the food thaws out. (Minimum of 1 hour for joints of meat and whole
chickens).
This feature allows you to add cooking time at the end of previous cooking.
Notes
1. This feature is only available for Micro Power, Grill, Convection, Combination and Timer feature and
it is not available for Turbo Defrost and Auto programs.
2. The Add Time feature will not operate after 1 minute cooking.

To Cook on Combination by Time Setting
(continued)
Oven Accessories to Use
When using Combination cooking the glass tray should be in position and must have the enamel tray on top,
unless otherwise stated.
Items of food can be placed onto the wire rack on the enamel tray on the glass tray. Heatproof dishes of food
should be placed directly onto the enamel tray on the glass tray.
Joints and portions of meat should be placed on an upturned saucer on the enamel tray on the glass tray.
Alternatively they can be placed in a heatproof dish on the enamel tray on the glass tray.
Recipes using foil or metal containers e.g. cakes and pastries should be placed directly onto the enamel tray on
glass tray.
Containers to Use for Combination Feature
It is possible to use smooth seamed metal tins and foil containers on combination but they must be placed
directly onto the enamel tray on the glass tray. They must not be placed directly onto the wire rack, or arcing will
occur.
If you experience arcing, which is when you see blue sparks or hear crackling noises, the metal container is
unsuitable or you have insufficient food in the oven. You should stop the program immediately and change the
container or re-program to convection only.
Do not use plastic microwave containers on Combination programs (unless suitable for combination cooking).
Dishes must be able to withstand the heat of the top grill. Do not put dishes on wire rack directly under the grill,
place on enamel tray on glass tray.

One Push Reheating
This unique feature ‘the Genius’ built in sensor allows you to reheat a chilled meal with one push of
the dial. It is not necessary to select the power level or cooking time. The built-in sensor measures the
humidity of the food and calculates the microwave power level together with a cooking time.
When clock mode is displayed,
press the dial to start. To reset
oven and return to clock mode,
press Stop/Reset.
Program Weight Accessories Instructions
Reheat a
fresh
pre-cooked
chilled meal
200-1000 g
All foods must be pre-cooked. Foods should be at
refrigerator temperature approx.+ 5 °C. Reheat in
microwavable container as purchased. Pierce covering
film with a sharp knife once in the centre and four times
around the edge.
If transferring food to dish, cover with pierced cling film.
Press dial to Start. Stir at beeps. Stir again at end of
program and allow a few minutes standing time.
Large pieces of meat/fish in a thin sauce may require
longer cooking. This program is not suitable for starchy
food such as rice, noodles or potatoes.
How it works
Once the One Push Reheating has been selected and Start is pressed the food is heated up. As food begins
to get hot, steam is emitted. When the food reaches a certain temperature and begins to cook, an even greater
amount of steam is released. The increase in steam emission is detected by a humidity sensor in the oven. This
acts as a signal for the oven to calculate how much longer the food needs to cook.
The remaining cooking time will appear in the display window after two beeps.
Whilst the Sensor program is still in the display window the oven door should not be opened. Wait until the
cooking time appears in the window, and then open the door if required, to stir or turn the food.
Adjust to Taste
The One Push Reheating reheats a chilled meal for average tastes. You are able to adjust the reheating
program to your own taste. After pressing Start, +/- symbol and flashing bar appears in the display, turn dial
clockwise for more time or anticlockwise for less time. This operation should be completed within 14 seconds.
Default mode is normal.

Notes
1. This feature is not suitable for foods that cannot be stirred eg. lasagne / shepherds pie.
2. Do not reheat bread or pastry products (raw or uncooked), or beverages.
3. The oven automatically calculates the reheating time or the remaining reheating time.
4. The door should not be opened before the time appears in the display window.
5. To prevent any mistakes during One Push Reheating ensure that glass tray and the container are
dry.
6. The room temperature should not be more than 35 °C and not less than 0 °C.
7. If the oven has previously been used and it is too hot to be used on One Push Reheating, ‘HOT’ will
appear in the display window. After the ‘HOT’ disappears, the One Push Reheating may be used. If
in a hurry, cook food manually by selecting the correct cooking mode and cooking time yourself.

programs 5-6; Junior programs 17-20 and Combi programs 22-26 use a combination of Microwave
and Convection or Grill. Roast programs 27-30 use Convection.
4. Do not cover food unless stated, when using a Combination or Convection program, it will prevent
the food browning. The heat will also melt any plastic covering.
5. Most foods benefit from a standing time after cooking on an auto program, to allow heat to continue
conducting to the centre.
6. To allow for some variations that occur in food, check that food is thoroughly cooked and piping hot
before serving.
7. Always weigh the food rather than relying on the package weight information.

This feature allows you to cook or reheat
foods without entering the weight. The built-in sensor
measures the humidity of the food and calculates the
recommended microwave power level together with a
suggested cooking time.
How it works
Once the food has been selected and Start pressed
the food is heated up. As food begins to get hot,
steam is emitted. When the food reaches a certain
temperature and begins to cook, an even greater
amount of steam is released. The increase in steam
emission is detected by a humidity sensor in the oven.
This acts as a signal for the oven to calculate how
much longer the food needs to cook.
The remaining cooking time will appear in the display
window after two beeps.
Whilst the Sensor program is still in the display
window the oven door should not be opened. Wait
until the cooking time appears in the window, and then
open the door if required, to stir or turn the food.
Adjust to Taste
The Sensor programs cook foods for average tastes. You are able to adjust the cooking programs to your own
taste. After pressing Start, turn dial clockwise for more time or anti- clockwise for less time. This operation
should be completed within 14 seconds. Default mode is normal.
To allow Auto Program

Notes
For best results the Sensor programs should only be used when the oven is cold. It is recommended
that the oven is allowed to cool between using the sensor programs, if one or more programs are being
used. If in a hurry, cook the food manually i.e. select the correct power level and cooking time. It is not
recommended to keep using the Auto Sensor Programs consecutively.

Notes
1. For the Auto Sensor Programs it is not necessary to enter the weight of the food. They must only be
used for foods described.
2. Only cook foods within the weight ranges described (See table below).
3. Only use the accessories as indicated on pages 43.
4. It is essential when using the auto sensor programs to cover the food.
The exception to this rule is jacket potatoes (see page 43). For auto sensor programs fresh
vegetables, frozen vegetables, fresh fish, cover with cling film. Pierce the cling film with a sharp knife
once in the centre and four times around the edge. For auto sensor program casserole, cover with a
lid.
5. For foods covered with cling film, pierce the film with a sharp knife, once in the centre and four times
around the edge. If the cling film is not pierced, steam can not escape and this could result in over
cooking.
6. Always choose a container size that is suitable for the quantity of food, ie. do not allow a large
headspace or food may not be cooked correctly.
7. For best results ensure that the oven is cold before using any Sensor program.
8. Most foods benefit from a standing time, after cooking on an Auto Program, to allow heat to
continue conducting to the centre.
9. To allow for some variations that occur in food, check that food is thoroughly cooked and piping hot
before serving.

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 oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused
by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow 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 inside and/or on 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 or
Convection. This is normal.
The oven has an odour and
generates smoke when using
Combination, Convection and
Grill function.
It is essential that your oven is wiped out regularly particularly after
cooking by Combination, Convection and Grill function. 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, Convection and
Grill for the first time.
It caused by the excessive oil in the cavity and oil used for rust
protection volatilizing.

Care of your Microwave Oven
Turn the oven off and remove the power plug from
the wall socket before cleaning.
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.
Wire RackEnamel Tray
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.
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 button to clear display
window.
Clean the upper heater after
it is completely cold. Wipe
with a soft and damp cloth
carefully to avoid breaking
the heater and hurting your
fingers by the broken heater.
After using, clean it with a mild
detergent or dishwasher.
Notes
1. When using the Grill, Convection or 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.
2. After Grill, Convection 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, 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. This method can not be used to
clean the oven door.
DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN.
A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.
3. 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 hazardous situation.
4. When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult the service center specified by
Panasonic.
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food
deposits removed.
It is occasionally necessary
to remove the glass tray for
cleaning. Wash the tray in warm
sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
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.
Keep the inside of the oven 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.
