MICROWAVE
The fastest cooking method ever invented, microwave cooking lets you defrost foods quickly, prepare delicious stews,
savory casseroles, and vegetables that come out tender and colorful. It’s also an ideal and easy way to reheat leftovers
that taste as though they were freshly prepared.
NOTE: 1) See cooking utensils section in your Panasonic Microwave Cookbook or page 23 of this manual.
2) Donotuse recycled paper products in the oven. They may contain impurities which could cause the paper to
create sparking (arcing), and this could result in a fire during oven operation.
3) Do not operate oven empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food or
water is present to absorb the energy.

CONVECTION
You'll find a convection oven in most bakeries, restaurants and other institutional kitchens, because professional cooks
have long known that this method assures the best results in preparing so many types of foods.
NOTE: 1) Forinformation on cooking utensils see Introduction section of Convection/Combination cookbook and page
23 of this manual.
2) If during cooking you want to check the oven temperature you selected, touch Oven Temp Pad. Espey
shows the temperature as long as you hold your finger on the pad.
PREHEATING
Preheat when indicated in recipes.
Preheat only with Convection Cooking. It is not applicable to Microwave or Combination Cooking. Where indicated,
preheat using only the CONVECTION setting.
Example: To preheat on 300°F for 10 minutes;
Step 1. Touch Oven Temp Pad for 300°F.
Step 2. Set 10 minutes by tapping Time Select Pad.
Step 3. Touch Start Pad.
——When time has elapsed oven beeps five times and automatically shuts off.
Note: 1) Oven may be preheated with or without the Glass Ceramic Tray in place.
2) Formore detailed information on when to preheat, refer to your Panasonic Convection/Combination
Cookbook.

COMBINATION:
A remarkable breakthrough in technology enables Panasonic to bring you an oven that combines the best features of
both microwave and convection cooking. Cook foods with speed and accuracy, while roasting and evenly browning
therm to juicy, tender perfection.
NOTE: 1) Donotuse metal containers. For information on cooking utensils see ‘Introduction section of the Microwave
and Convection/Combination cookbooks and page 23 of this manual. :
2) Do not operate oven empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven if no food
or water is present to absorb the energy.
TIME COOKING
Step 1. Select combination cooking program by tapping Micro/Convec Pad once or twice.
—Clock time disappears. Combination indicator light turns on. Selected combination cooking program
appears in display window.
Example: Tap the Micro/Convec Pad once for meats (roast beef, pork, lamb) or twice for poultry (chicken,
