an audible operation of the safety switches.
5. The metal plates of the metat seal on the door are neither
buckled nor deformed.
6. 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 inactivate the interlocking devices on
the door.
2. Never poke an object, particularly ametal object, through
the 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.
Do not let other metallic articles, e.g. fast food foil containers,

MiCROWAVE THERMOMETER. Alternatively, aconventional
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. (See the cookbook section for further
information.)
7. COOKING TIMES given In the coolcbook 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

2-3 Stage Cooking
It is possible to use the various functions described on the previous pages e.g. Defrost, Convection, Bake in 2-3 stage
programming.
However it is essential that the correct oven accessories are used for each function. We therefore DO NOT recommend
programming different cooking functions in asequence. Programme individually to ensure you are present to switch accessories
as each stage is completed and also adjust cooking times if necessary. It is quite safe to 3stage programme on Microwave only,
e.g. Christmas Pudding
High Power 4mins
Stand 5mins
High Power 1min
(for a1.3 litre pudding basin)
or similarly on Bake function
e.g. large, rich fruit cake
19O'Cfor40mins
160*C for 1hour 30 mins
(This is an example only)
or similarly on Convection.
Care of Your Dimension 4Oven
1.Turn the oven off before cleaning,
2. Keep the inside of the oven, door seals and door seal areas
clean. When food spatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven
walls and door seals and door seal areas wipe off with a
damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if they get very dirty.
The use of harsh detergent or adrasives is not recommended.
3. After GRILL or COMBINATION cooking, the oven should be
cleaned with asoft cloth squeezed in soapy water. Do not
attempt to clean the catalytic lining on the roof.
4. The outside oven surface should be cleaned with adamp
cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the
oven, water should not be allowed to seep Into the ventilation
openings.
5. If the Control Panel becomes dirty, clean with asoft, dry
cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on the Control
Panel. When cleaning the Control Panel, leave the oven door
open to prevent the oven from accidentally turning on. After
cleaning touch STOP/RESET Pad to clear display window.
6. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the
oven door, wipe with asoft cloth. This may occur when the
microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions

AIWhen the oven does not turn on, check the following:
1.Is the oven plugged in correctly? Remove the plug from outlet, wait 10 seconds
and re-insert.
2. Check circuit breaker or fuse. Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse if it is
tripped or blown.
3. If the circuit breaker or fuse is all right, plug another appliance into the outlet.
If the other appliance works, there probably is aproblem with the oven. If the
other appliance does not work, there probably is aproblem with the outlet.
If it seems there is aproblem with the oven, contact an authorized Panasonic
Service Centre.
Al 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 dryers, etc. It does not indicate aproblem with
your oven.
AIThe oven is designed not to accept an incorrect program. For example, the oven
will not accept afourth cooking stage.
AIWhen cooking with a power other than HIGH, the oven must cycle to obtain the
lower power levels. The oven light dims and clicking noises can be heard when
the oven cycles.
AIThe heat given off from cooking food warms the air in the oven cavity. This
warmed air is carried out of the oven by the air flow pattern in the oven. There are
no microwaves in the air. The oven vents should never be blocked during cooking.
A. These noises occur as the oven automatically switches from microwave power
to Convection/Bake/Grill, only to create the combination setting. This is normal.
A^ Yes. Touch the Convection/Bake Pad and the oven temperature will appear in
the display window for 5seconds.
AIOnly when you are using Convection/Bake/Grill cooking mode. The metal in
some thermometers may cause arcing in your oven and should not be used on
Microwave and Combination cooking modes.

COMBINATION or GRILL. Any tat and grease that builds up on the roof and walls
of the oven will begin to smoke if not cleaned.
