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
2 If smoke is observed, press the STOP/RESET
Pad 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 Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other materials
in oven They may catch on fire
4 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
5 Do not use newspapers or paper bags for cooking
6 Do not hit or strike the Control Panel Damage to
controls may occur
7 POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from
food is transferred to the cooking container and
from the container to the Glass Tray The
GlassTray can be very hot after removing the
cooking container from the oven
8 Do not store flammable materials next to, on top of,
or in the oven It could be a fire hazard
9 Do not cook food directly on Glass Tray unless
indicated in recipes (Food should be placed in a
suitable cooking utensil )
10 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.
11 Look at the oven from time to time when food is
heated or cooked in disposal containers of
plastic, paper or other combustible materials, as
these types of containers ignite if overheated
Placement of Oven
1 The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface
For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient
air flow Allow 1 cm of space on the top of the
oven, 10 cm at the back, and cm on both sides.
If one side of the oven is placed flush to wall, 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 Also should allow space on back and
both sides of oven properly
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 This oven may be built into a wall cabinet, if desired
This microwave oven is designed and approved for
use only with a genuine Panasonic trim kit for Model
number listed in the operating instructions (page 75)
Installation with any other trim kit may void the warranty
Circuits
Your microwave oven should be operated on a
separate 10 A circuit from other appliances Failure to
do this may cause the power board fuse to blow, and/or
food to cook slower Do not insert higher value fuse in
the power board
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 Do not boil eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled
eggs (unless otherwise stated in Cooking Guide
section) Pressure will build up and the eggs will
explode
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 of 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 halfway through cooking time
d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a short
time, stirring again before carefully removing 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
10When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
check the oven frequently 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 through a small plastic
covered piece 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
turntable
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
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
Fill a 1-cup glass measure with water and place it in
the microwave oven along with the container to be
tested Heat one minute on P10. If the container is
microwave oven safe, it should remain comfortably
cool and the water should be hot If the container
becomes very 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
Cookware and Utensil Guide

Before Operation
– 5 –
Cookware and Utensil Guide (continued)
Plastics
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
P10 power 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
Browning Dishes
Browning dishes are used to sear chops, meat
patties, steaks, etc A special coating on the bottom
of the dish absorbs the microwave energy and
becomes very hot When foods are added to the
dish, the result is a seared effect Preheat the dish
according to the manufacturer’s directions Add food
to be seared and heat according to recipe or
personal preference
Use pot holders to remove the dish from the
microwave oven Do not use the browning dish on or
in a conventional stove
Remember:
Food can be covered with a loose sheet of absorbent
towel to prevent splattering Do not attempt to deep
fry in the browning dish or microwave oven as you
cannot control the temperature of the oil
Note:
Browning dishes may no longer be available This
information is being supplied to assist people who
own browning dishes
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
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
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
