Inverter technology is the key

Inverter technology for microwave ovens has been developed by a Panasonic initiative over a period of more than 10 years. It is the

key technology for making a very different type of microwave oven which has a number of special qualities:

• It makes possible the first oven in the industry which controls the amount of microwave energy linearly. This new distribution system

allows cooking and defrosting food without losing its flavour.

• It provides efficient conversion of electrical energy to microwave energy, resulting in minimizing power requirements without

sacrificing microwave output.

• It allows a dramatic enlargement of oven cavity size even in a compact oven body, due to the small size of the inverter circuit,

which replaces the currently used bulky transformer.

• Finally, at the end of the product’s useful life, not using bulky transformers made of iron makes the process of recycling discarded

ovens environmentally friendly.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with the European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning used electrical and

electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE).

This guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable.

Safety Instructions

Use of your oven

1. Do not use the oven for any reason other than the preparation

of food. This oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food.

Do not use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food

products.

2. Before use, check that utensils/containers are suitable for use

in microwave ovens.

3. Do not attempt to use this microwave oven to dry newspaper,

clothing or any other materials. They may catch on fire.

4. When the oven is not being used, do not store any objects

other than oven accessories inside the oven in case it is

accidentally turned on.

5. The appliance shall not be operated by MICROWAVE or

COMBINATION WITHOUT FOOD IN THE OVEN. Operation in

this manner may damage the appliance. Exception to this is

6. If smoke or a fire occurs in the oven, press Stop/Cancel button

and leave the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or the

circuit breaker panel.

Heater Operation

1. Before using COMBINATION or GRILL function for the first

time, wipe excessive oil off in the oven cavity and operate the

oven without food and accessories on Grill, for 10 minutes.

This will allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be

burned off. This is the only time the oven is used empty.

2. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and

the oven door will get hot during COMBINATION and

GRILLING, take care when opening or closing the door and

when inserting or removing food and accessories.

3. The oven has two heaters situated in the top of the oven. After

using the COMBINATION and GRILL function, these surfaces

will be very hot.

N.B. After cooking by these modes, the oven accessories will

be very hot.

4. The accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use.

Children should be kept away.

Fan Motor Operation

If the oven gets hot after use, the fan may rotate for 1 minute to

cool the electric components. This is perfectly normal, and you

can take out the food from the oven while the fan is still in

operation.

Important Information

1) Cooking Times

• Cooking times given in the cookbook are approximate. The

cooking time depends on the condition, temperature, amount

of food and on the type of cookware.

• Begin with the minimum cooking time to help prevent

overcooking. If the food is not sufficiently cooked you can

always cook it for a little longer.

N.B.: If the recommended cooking times are exceeded the

food will be spoiled and in extreme circumstances could

catch fire and possibly damage the interior of the oven.

2) Small Quantities of Foods

• Small quantities of food or foods with low

moisture content can burn, dry out or catch

on fire if cooked too long. If materials inside

the oven should ignite, keep the oven door

closed, turn the oven off and remove the

plug from the socket.

3) Eggs

• Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs

by MICROWAVE. Pressure may build up and

the eggs will explode, even after the

microwave heating has ended.

4) Piercing Skin

• Food with non porous skins,

such as potatoes, egg yolks

and sausages must be

pierced before cooking by

MICROWAVE to prevent

bursting.

5) Meat Thermometer

• Use a meat thermometer to check the degree of cooking of

roasts and poultry only when the meat has been removed

from the oven. Do not use a conventional meat thermometer

when using MICROWAVE or COMBINATION because it may

cause sparking.

6) Liquids

• 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 possibili-

ty 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 the cooking time.

d) After heating, allow it to stand in the oven for a short

time, stir again before carefully removing the container.

7) Paper/Plastic

• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the

oven frequently as these types of

containers ignite if overheated.

• Do not use recycled paper products (e.g.

Kitchen Roll) 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 during use.

• Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags before placing the

bags in the oven.

8) Utensils/Foil

• Do not heat any closed cans or bottles because they might

explode.

• Metal containers or dishes with metallic trim should not be

used during Microwave cooking. Sparking will occur.

• If you use any aluminium foil, meat spikes or metalware the

distance between them and the oven walls and door should

be at least 2 cm to prevent sparking.

9) Feeding Bottles/Baby Food Jars

• The top and teat or lid must be removed from feeding bottles

or baby food jars before placing in the oven.

• The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be

stirred or shaken.

• The temperature has to be checked before consumption to

avoid burns.

Pizza Pan

USING THE PIZZA PAN (Manual operation)

●

For best results, pre-heat the pan before using. Place directly

on the glass turntable and pre-heat on 1000W (HIGH power)

for 4 minutes. To assist browning, brush the pan with

oil before preheating for items such as sausages and

beefburgers.

●

Remove the pan from the oven and place the food in the pan.

Use the pizza pan handle or oven gloves as the pan will be

very hot. For best results, it is important the food is placed on

the pan immediately after pre-heating. Performance cannot be

guaranteed with a time delay.

●

Place the pan on the glass turntable and cook according to the

guidelines shown in the cooking chart on page En-12.

CARE OF THE PAN

◆ Never use any sharp utensils on the pan as this will

damage the non-stick surface.

◆ After use, wash the pan in hot soapy water and rinse in hot

water. Do not use any abrasive cleaning substances or

scouring pads as this will damage the surface of the pan.

◆ The pan is dishwasher safe.

NOTES:

1. Do not pre-heat the pan more than 8 minutes.

2. Always place the pan in the centre of the glass tray and

ensure it does not touch the wall of the oven cavity. Failure

to do so, may cause sparking which would damage the

cavity.

3. Always use the pan on the glass turntable. Do not use with

the wire rack.

4. Always use the pizza pan handle or oven gloves when

handling the hot pan.

5. Ensure all food packaging is removed before cooking.

6. Do not place any heat-sensitive materials on the hot pan as

this may cause burning.

7. The pan can be used in a conventional oven.

8. For best results, use the pan in COMBINATION GRILL and

MICROWAVE.

THE ‘CONCEPT’

Some foods cooked by microwave can have soft and soggy

crusts. Your pizza pan accessory will brown and crisp pizzas,

quiches, pies, breaded products just as a conventional oven.

Your Panasonic pizza pan works in three ways: heating

the pan by absorbing microwaves, heating the food

directly by microwaves and heating the food by the

grill. The base of the pan absorbs the microwaves and

transfers them into heat. Then the heat is conducted

through the pan to the food. The heating effect

is maximised by the non-stick surface.

English

En-14

Auto Sensor Programs (NN-F693)

These Programs use the humidity sensor which will automatically select the correct microwave power level and calculate the

correct cooking/reheating time while the food is heating.

T

u

r

b

o

3. Before placing food in the oven, make sure the Glass

Tray is dry to ensure the best cooking result.

4. All foods should be covered with a fitted lid or plastic

wrap.

5. The room temperature should not be more than 35 °C

and not less than 0 °C.

6. Only cook foods within the recommended weight range

shown below.

7. If the remaining cooking time is longer than one hour,

the time will appear as hours and minutes.

8. If the oven has previously been used on COMBINATION

or GRILL, and is too hot to be used on an Auto Sensor

Program, the word “HOT” will appear in the display

window. After “HOT” disappears, the Auto Sensor

Program may be used. If in a hurry, cook food manually

by selecting the correct power and cooking time

yourself.

• Select the desired Auto Sensor

Program. Start prompt will be

indicated.

• Press Start

Button.

Notes.

1. During cooking of food in the microwave oven, steam develops.

After the burst of steam is detected by the Sensor, the beep

sounds twice and the display is changed from the category to the

remaining time.

2. When the category is displayed in the display window, the door

should not be opened. Opening the door in this period may

cause inaccurate cooking results. The oven door may be opened

to stir, turn or add food when the remaining time begins to count

down in the display window.

More/Less Control

Preferences for the degree of cooking vary for each

individual. The programs can be adjusted to cook food

for a longer or shorter time (approximately 10%). Turn

the Timer/Weight Dial clockwise (for more cooking time),

anti clockwise (for less cooking time) before pressing the

start button. A + or - symbol will be shown in the display.

Q:There are humming and clicking noises

from my oven when I cook by

COMBINATION. What is causing these

noises?

Questions and Answers

Q:Why won’t my oven turn on?

A: When the oven does not turn on, check the following:

1. Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10

seconds and reinsert.

2. Check the circuit breaker and the fuse. Reset the circuit breaker or replace

the 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 a problem with the oven. If the

other appliance does not work, there probably is a problem with the outlet.

If it seems that there is a problem with the oven, contact an authorized

Service Center.

A: 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, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with

your oven.

A: The oven is designed not to accept an incorrect program. For example, the oven

will only accept one stage cooking (excluding Delay Start), and will not accept an

Auto Weight Program after Delay Start.

A: The heat given off from the 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: The oven has programmed DEMO MODE. This mode is designed for retail store

display.

Deactivate this mode by pressing Clock Button four times.

A: Only when you are using 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.

A: The noises occur as the oven automatically switches from MICROWAVE power to

GRILL to create the combination setting. This is normal.

A: After repeated use, it is recommended to clean the oven and then run the oven

without food, glass tray, and roller ring on Grill for 5 minutes. This will burn off any

food, residue or oil which may cause an odour and/or smoking.

Q:My microwave oven causes interference

with my TV. Is this normal?

Q:The oven won’t accept my program.

Why?

Q:Sometimes warm air comes from the

oven vents. Why?

Q:“D” appears in the display and the oven

does not cook. Why?

Q:Can I use a conventional oven

thermometer in the oven?

Q:My oven has an odour and generates

smoke when using the COMBINATION

and GRILL function. Why?

Care of Your Oven

1. Turn the oven off before cleaning.

2. Keep the inside of the oven, door seals and door seal areas

clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to the

oven walls, 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 abrasive is not

recommended.

DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS.

3. The outside oven surface 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. If the Control Panel becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, 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/CANCEL Button to

clear the 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 a malfunction of the unit.

6. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for clean-

ing. Wash the tray in warm soapy 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 and hot water then dry with a clean

cloth. The roller ring may be washed in mild soapy water.

Cooking vapours collect during repeated use but in no way

affects the bottom surface or roller ring wheels. After removing

the roller ring from the cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to

replace it in the proper position.

8. When using the GRILL 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.

9. A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.

10. This oven should only be serviced by qualified

personnel. For maintenance and repair of the oven contact the

nearest authorized dealer.

11. Keep air vents clear at all times. Check that no dust or other

material is blocking any of the air vents on the top, bottom or

rear of the oven. If air vents become blocked this could cause

overheating which would affect the operation of the oven.

12 Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to

deterioration of surfaces that could affect the life of the

appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Never switch on an empty oven

It is important to use the correct kitchen utensil.

* It must not be made of materials which prevent microwaves from heating the food.

* Nor must it release dangerous substances into the food.

1. When microwave only is used.

Use bowls and dishes of glass, porcelain or plastic without metal, which are able to resist the high temperature of the food.

Paper and plastic

Plastic trays and plastic coated cardboard boxes of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and microwave film.

Baking paper, but not kitchen foil can be used in the microwave. See page En-4.

When should the food be covered?

A lid or film should generally be used during cooking to retain the moisture. Use a dish with lid or microwave film.

Bowls - Dishes - Lids

To test for metal in your kitchen utensil

Place the utensil to be tested for metal, e.g. a plate, empty on the glass turntable in the oven. Also place a bowl suitable for

microwaves containing 1 dl of water in the oven. Microwave at 1000 watts for 30 seconds.

If the plate has become warm there is metal in it and it is therefore unsuitable for use in microwave ovens.

2. When a combination of grill and

microwave is used.

When cooking using this combination, plastic must not be used

but ovenproof bowls or dishes without any metal may be used.

However the metal oven accessories supplied can be used. This

is because they have been specially developed for use in a

Panasonic oven and because the oven, when used in

combination, operates at lower microwave powers. The food

must not be covered in this case.

3. When the grill is used.

When the grill is used, both ovenproof and metal dishes and

bowls can be used. The metal oven accessories supplied can

also be used. The food must not be covered in this case.

English

En-20

Starting Temperature

The colder the food the longer it takes to

heat up. Food from the refrigerator takes

longer to reheat than food at room

temperature.

Dish size

Use a dish appropriate for the amount of

food. The larger the surface area the

quicker the food will cook.

Microwaves are electromagnetic waves of energy which occur

naturally in the atmosphere and which are similar to the type of

waves which are used to transmit radio and TV waves, long-

distance telephone calls and radar. The number of times the

microwaves oscillate per second is called frequency and is

calculated in megahertz, MHz.

Food consists of different molecules, among other things fat,

water and sugar. In most forms of food water is the largest

constituent.

Microwaves heat the food at lightning speed because it is water

that attracts the microwaves.

The electromagnetic waves penetrate 1-5 cm into the food and

cause the food molecules to vibrate. The vibrating molecules rub

against each other 2.4 billion times a second, thereby generating

heat, just as when you rub your hands together on a cold

winter’s day.

The microwaves penetrate a portion of food which is thereby

heated. If the quantity of food is doubled, the heating time

doubles accordingly. This is because the quantity of microwaves

transmitted into the microwave space must be distributed among

the quantity of food present in the oven, which is why microwave

cooking is rarely suitable for a large number of guests. However

it is extremely useful for everyday cooking in the average home.
