Important Notice

Your oven is rated 1000 Watts (IEC). When using other

cookbooks remember to adjust cooking times accordingly.

The symbol above, which is displayed on your oven door,

indicates the heating category for your oven when

cooking or reheating convenience foods. Your oven is

rated ‘E’, which is very efficient. It is therefore very

important that you refer carefully to the packet instructions

on convenience foods. Some packet instructions only

display information for B or D rated ovens. We therefore

provide additional guidelines for reheating on pages 49-

55 of this book. ALWAYS check the progress of the food

as it cooks or reheats by simply opening the door and

after checking the progress of the foods press START to

continue the cooking time.

Failure to follow the instructions given in this

Cookbook and Operating Instructions, may affect the

recipe result and in some instances may be

dangerous.

Welcome to Panasonic Microwave Cooking

Thank you for purchasing a Panasonic Microwave Oven.

Even if this is not your first microwave oven, do please read the opening chapters of

this cookbook to achieve perfect results every time.

This microwave oven has the benefit of the Inverter System inside. The new unique

technology has been in use with microwave ovens in Japan for many years,

improving the cooking performance of the oven. It also means that you benefit from

having more space inside your oven, without taking up more room on your work

surface.

Microwaves leave most foods tastier and leave you with less washing up, but don’t

expect to become a perfect microwave cook overnight – some of the methods are

very different to those used in conventional cooking.

We hope you enjoy using your new oven but should you require any further help or

explanation, phone our

Unpacking your oven

1. This oven is intended for counter-top use only. It is not intended for

built-in use or for use inside a cupboard.

2. Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface 850mm above floor

level. For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow,

i.e. 5cm/2" at one side, the other being open; 15cm/6" clear over

the top; 10cm/4" at the rear.

3. Do not place the microwave oven on a shelf directly above a gas or electric hob. This may

be a safety hazard and the oven may be damaged.

4. Do not block air vents on the rear and bottom or top of the cabinet. Do not place any articles

on the top of the oven over the vents. If air vents are blocked during operation, the oven

may overheat. If the oven overheats, a thermal safety device will turn the oven off. The oven

will remain inoperable with blank display until it has cooled.

5. Do not use outdoors.

Placement of your oven

✗

2" open

1. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and the oven door will get hot

during CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILLING, take care when opening or closing

the door and when inserting or removing food and accessories.

2. The oven has two heaters situated in the top of the oven. After using either the GRILL,

CONVECTION or COMBINATION functions, the inside surfaces of the oven will be very hot.

Care should be taken to avoid touching any of the inside surfaces near the heating elements

inside the oven. N.B. After cooking by these modes, the oven accessories will be very hot.

3. In the case of electronic failure, the oven can only be turned off at wall socket.

4. Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have

been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the

hazards of improper use. Ensure that children do not touch the hot outer casing after

operation of the oven.

5. Storage of Accessories

Do not store any objects other than oven accessories inside the oven in case it is

accidentally turned on.

6. Before Use

Before using CONVECTION, COMBINATION or GRILL function for the first time operate

the oven without food and accessories (including glass turntable and roller ring) on GRILL 1

for 5 mins. 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 empty.

CAUTION: All inside surfaces of the

oven will be hot.

DO NOT OPERATE THE OVEN EMPTY.

(Apart from in point 6 above).

The appliance must not be operated by

MICROWAVE or COMBINATION

WITHOUT FOOD IN THE OVEN.

Operation when empty will damage the

appliance.

Before using your oven

1. Hot Surfaces

Exterior oven surfaces, including air

vents on the cabinet and the oven door,

will get hot during CONVECTION,

COMBINATION and GRILLING. Use

care when opening or closing door and

when inserting or removing food and

accessories. The oven has a heater

situated in the top of the oven.

After using the CONVECTION,

COMBINATION and GRILL

functions the roof and walls

will be very hot.

2. Children should be kept away from the

oven at all times and should only be

allowed to operate the oven under

supervision. Ensure that children do not

touch the hot outer casing after

operation of the oven.

Caution: Hot surfaces

✗

1. Switch the oven off before cleaning and unplug at socket if possible.

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

splatters or spilled liquids adhere to 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 abrasives is not recommended.

3. After using CONVECTION, GRILL or COMBINATION cooking the 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 CONVECTION, GRILL or

COMBINATION. Stubborn spots inside the oven can be removed by using a small amount

of branded conventional oven-cleaner sprayed onto a soft damp cloth. Wipe onto problem

spots, leave for recommended time and then wipe off. Avoid the microwave feed guide

area and the door. DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN.

4. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass

since they may scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

5. 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.

6. If the control panel becomes dirty, clean 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 Pad to clear display window.

7. 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.

8. 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 or microwave leakage.

9. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass turntable for cleaning. Wash the turntable

in warm soapy water. Do not place in the dishwasher.

10. The roller ring and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive

noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven, particularly the turntable spindle and

the area surrounding this, 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 affect the bottom surface or the roller ring wheels.

After removing the roller ring from cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace it in the

proper position.

11. When GRILLING or cooking by COMBINATION or CONVECTION some foods may

splatter grease onto the oven walls. If the oven is not cleaned to eliminate this grease, it

can accumulate and cause the oven to ‘SMOKE’ during use. These marks will be more

difficult to clean later.

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

Care & Cleaning of your Microwave Oven - IMPORTANT

It is essential for the safe operation of the oven that it is kept clean, and

wiped out after each use. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean

condition could lead to deterioration of a surface that could adversely

affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous

situation.

1. Service

WHEN YOUR OVEN REQUIRES A SERVICE call your local

Panasonic engineer (Customer Care Centre on 08705 357357 can

recommend an engineer). It is hazardous for anyone other than a

competent person to carry out any service or repair operation

which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection

against exposure to microwave energy.

2. Door Seals

Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or repairs to door, control panel

housing, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven. Do not remove outer panel

from oven.

The door seals and door seal areas should always be kept clean – use a damp cloth.

N.B. The appliance should be inspected for damage to the door seals and door seal areas. If

these areas are damaged the appliance should not be operated until it has been repaired by

a service technician trained by the manufacturer.

3. Oven Light

The oven lamp must be replaced by a service technician trained by the

manufacturer. DO NOT attempt to remove the outer casing from the

oven.

4. Selected Spares and Accessories

These may be ordered direct; on line at www.panasonic.co.uk or by

telephoning the Customer Care Centre 08705 357357. Most major credit and debit cards

accepted. Ensure you quote the correct model number.

Maintenance of your oven

1. Do not operate the oven without the Roller Ring and Glass Turntable in place.

2. Only use the Glass Turntable specifically designed for this oven. Do not substitute with any

other Glass Turntable.

3. If Glass Turntable is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water.

4. Do not cook directly on Glass Turntable. Always place food in a microwave safe dish. The

only exception to this is when cooking Jacket Potatoes on microwave only.

5. If food or utensil on Glass Turntable touches oven walls, causing the turntable to stop

moving, it will automatically rotate in the opposite direction. This is normal. Open oven door,

reposition the food and restart.

6. The Glass Turntable can rotate in either direction. The maximum weight that can be placed

on the turntable is 4kg (8lb 14oz) (this includes total weight of food and dish.)

7. While cooking by MICROWAVE or COMBINATION, turntable may vibrate. This will not affect

cooking performance.

8. The metal accessories provided must ONLY be used as directed for GRILLING,

CONVECTION and COMBINATION cooking. Never use them on MICROWAVE only. Do not

use if operating the oven with less than 200g (7oz) of food on a manual COMBINATION

program. FAILURE TO USE ACCESSORIES CORRECTLY COULD DAMAGE YOUR

OVEN.

9. Arcing may occur if the incorrect weight of food is used, a metal container has been used

incorrectly, or the accessories have been damaged. If this occurs, stop the machine

immediately. You can continue to cook by GRILL OR CONVECTION ONLY.

10. Always refer to instructions for correct accessories to use on all programs. The glass

turntable and roller ring are the only accessories used for MICROWAVE Cooking. For

CONVECTION and COMBINATION cooking the metal tray must ALWAYS be in place on the

glass turntable.

Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or the circuit breaker panel.

Short Cooking Times

As microwave cooking times are much shorter than other cooking methods it is essential that

recommended cooking times are not exceeded without first checking the food.

Cooking times given in the cookbook are approximate. Factors that may affect cooking times

are: preferred degree of cooking, starting temperature, altitude, volume, size and shape of foods

and utensils used. As you become familiar with the oven, you will be able to adjust these

factors.

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.

Important.

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.

1. Small Quantities of Food.

Take care when heating small quantities of food as these can easily burn, dry out or catch

fire if cooked too long. Always set short cooking times and check the food frequently.

NEVER OPERATE THE OVEN WITHOUT FOOD INSIDE ON MICROWAVE OR

COMBINATION.

2. Foods Low in Moisture.

Take care when heating foods low in moisture, e.g. bread items,

chocolate, popcorn, biscuits and pastries. These can easily burn,

dry out or catch on fire if cooked too long.

3. Christmas Pudding.

Christmas puddings and other foods high in fats or sugar, e.g. jam, mince pies, must not be

over heated. These foods must never be left unattended as with over cooking these foods

can ignite.

4. Boiled Eggs.

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.

5. Foods with Skins.

Potatoes, apples, egg yolk, whole vegetables and sausages are

examples of food with non porous skins. These must be pierced

using a fork before cooking to prevent bursting.

Important Information – Read Carefully

6. Liquids.

Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed

containers since they are liable to explode. When heating

liquids, eg 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 the

heating 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

should be taken when handling the container.

7. Lids.

Always remove the lids of jars and containers and takeaway food containers before you

microwave them. If you don’t then steam and pressure might build up inside and cause an

explosion even after the microwave cooking has stopped.

8. Deep Fat Frying.

Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.

9. Meat Thermometer.

Use a meat thermometer to check the degree of cooking of roasts and poultry only when

meat has been removed from the microwave. If undercooked, return to the oven and cook

for a few more minutes at the recommended power level. Do not leave a conventional meat

thermometer in the oven when microwaving.

10. Paper, Plastic.

When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on

the oven due to the possibility of ignition. Do not use wire twist-ties

with roasting bags as arcing will occur.

Do not use re-cycled paper products, e.g. Kitchen roll unless they

say they are specifically designed for use in a microwave oven.

These products contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or

fires when used.

11. Reheating.

It is essential that reheated food is served “piping hot”.

Remove the food from the oven and check that it is “piping hot”, i.e. steam is being emitted

from all parts and any sauce is bubbling. (If you wish you may choose to check the food has

reached 72˚C with a food thermometer – but remember do not use this thermometer inside

the microwave.)

For foods that cannot be stirred, e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, the centre should be cut with

a knife to test it is well heated through. Even if a manufacturer’s packet instructions have

been followed always check the food is piping hot before serving and if in doubt return your

food to the oven for further heating.

Important Information – Read Carefully

12. Standing Time.

Standing time refers to the period at the end of cooking or

reheating when food is left before being eaten, i.e. it is a rest

time which allows the heat in the food to continue to conduct to

the centre, thus eliminating cold spots.

13. Keeping Your Oven Clean.

It is essential for the safe operation of the oven that it is wiped out

regularly. Use warm soapy water, squeeze the cloth out well and

use to remove any grease or food from the interior. Pay particular

attention to the door seal area and also the areas around the

microwave feed guide situated on the right hand side of the cavity

wall. The oven should be unplugged when cleaning.

14. Grilling.

The oven will only operate on the GRILL function with the door closed.

15. Fan Motor Operation.

After using the microwave oven, the fan motor may operate to cool the electric components.

This is normal and you can take out food even though the fan motor operates. You can

continue using the oven during this time.

16. Containers.

Before use check that utensils/containers are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

17. Babies Bottles and Food Jars.

When reheating babies bottles always remove top and teat. Liquid at

the top of the bottle will be much hotter than that at the bottom and

must be shaken thoroughly before checking the temperature. The lid

must also be removed from babies food jars, the contents must also

be stirred or shaken before the temperature is checked. This should

be carried out before consumption in order to avoid burns.

18. Arcing

Arcing may occur if a metal container has been used incorrectly, if the incorrect weight of

food is used, or if the accessories have been damaged. Arcing is when blue flashes of light

are seen in the microwave oven. If this occurs, stop the machine immediately. If the oven is

left unattended and this continues it can damage the machine.

You can continue to cook by GRILL OR CONVECTION ONLY.

19. Maximum weight on turntable

The maximum weight that can be placed on the turntable is 4kg (8lb 14oz) (this includes

total weight of food and dish.)

Important Information – Read Carefully

Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early

experiments with RADAR in World War II. Microwaves are present in the

atmosphere all the time, both naturally and from manmade sources.

Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car

phones.

Microwaving Principles

The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate which causes FRICTION, i.e.

HEAT. This heat then cooks the food. Microwaves are also attracted to fat and sugar

particles, and foods high in these will cook more quickly. Microwaves can only

penetrate to a depth of 11⁄2-2 inches (4-5 cm) and as heat spreads through the food

by conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the food cooks from the outside inwards.

In a microwave oven, electricity is converted

into microwaves by the MAGNETRON.

REFLECTION

The microwaves bounce off the metal walls

and the metal door screen.

TRANSMISSION

Then they pass through the cooking containers to

be absorbed by the water molecules in the food,

all foods contain water to a more or lesser extent.

HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD

13 Amp fused socket

Microwave Water Molecule Absorption Vibration

IMPORTANT NOTES

The dish used to cook or reheat the food will get warm during cooking, as the heat

conducts from the food. Even in microwaving, oven gloves are required!

MICROWAVES CANNOT PASS THROUGH METAL AND THEREFORE METAL

COOKING UTENSILS CAN NEVER BE USED IN A MICROWAVE, FOR COOKING

ON MICROWAVE ONLY

Foods Not Suitable for Cooking by Microwave Only

Yorkshire Puddings, Souffles, Double Crust Pastry Pies.

Because these foods rely on dry external heat to cook correctly, do not attempt to

cook by microwave.

Foods that require deep fat frying cannot be cooked either.

STANDING TIME

When a microwave oven is switched off, the food will continue to cook by conduction

– NOT BY MICROWAVE ENERGY. Hence STANDING TIME is very important in

microwaving, particularly for dense foods i.e. meat, cakes and reheated meals

(Refer to page 14).

Boiled Eggs

Do not boil eggs in your microwave. Raw eggs boiled in

their shells can explode and cause serious injury.

DISH SIZE

Follow the dish sizes given

in the recipes, as these

affect the cooking and

reheating times. A quantity of

food spread in a bigger dish

cooks and reheats more

quickly.

QUANTITY

Small quantities cook faster

than large quantities, also

small meals will reheat more

quickly than large portions.

SPACING

Foods cook more quickly

and evenly if spaced apart.

NEVER pile foods on top of

each other.

PIERCING

The skin or membrane on

some foods will cause steam

to build up during cooking.

These foods must be pierced

or a strip of skin should be

peeled off before cooking to

allow the steam to escape.

Eggs, potatoes, apples,

sausages etc., will all need

to be pierced before cooking.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL

EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.

MOISTURE CONTENT

Many fresh foods e.g. veget-

ables and fruit, vary in their

moisture content throughout

the season. Jacket potatoes

are a particular example of

this. For this reason cooking

times may have to be

adjusted throughout the year.

Dry ingredients e.g. rice,

pasta, can dry out further

during storage and cooking

times may differ from

ingredients freshly

purchased.

CLING FILM

Cling film helps keep the

food moist and the trapped

steam assists in speeding up

cooking times. However it

should be pierced before

cooking, to allow excess

steam to escape. Always

take care when removing

cling film from a dish as the

build-up of steam will be very

hot. Always purchase cling

film that states on the packet

“suitable for microwave

cooking” and use as a

covering only. Do not line

dishes with cling film. Do not

cover foods when cooking by

COMBINATION,

CONVECTION or GRILL.

General Guidelines

SHAPE

Even shapes cook evenly.

Food cooks better by

microwave when in a round

container rather than square.

DENSITY

Porous airy foods heat more

quickly than dense heavy

foods.

COVERING

Cover foods with microwave

cling film or a self-fitting lid.

Cover fish, vegetables, cas-

seroles, soups. Do not cover

sauces, jacket potatoes,

pastry items. Please refer to

cooking charts and recipes for

more information.

LIQUIDS

All liquids must be stirred

before and during heating.

Water especially must be

stirred before and during

heating, to avoid eruption.

Do not heat liquids that have

previously been boiled. DO

NOT OVERHEAT.

CHECKING FOOD

It is essential that food is

checked during and after a

recommended cooking time,

even if an AUTO PROGRAM

has been used (just as you

would check food cooked in a

conventional oven). Return

the food to the oven for

further cooking if necessary.

CLEANING

As microwaves work on food

particles, keep your oven

clean at all times. Stubborn

spots of food can be

removed by using a branded

oven cleaner, sprayed onto a

soft cloth, always wipe the

oven dry after cleaning. Avoid

any plastic parts and door

area.

ARRANGING

Individual foods e.g. chicken

portions or chops, should be

placed on a dish so that the

thicker parts are to the

outside.

STARTING

TEMPERATURE

The colder the food, the

longer it takes to heat up.

Food from a fridge takes

longer to reheat than food at

room temperature.

TURNING AND

STIRRING

Some foods require stirring

during cooking. Meat and

poultry should be turned

after half the cooking time.

General Guidelines

Containers to use

1. Fill a microwave safe measuring jug

with 300ml (1⁄2pt) cold water.

2. Place it on the turntable alongside

the dish to be tested. If the dish you

are testing is a large dish, then

stand the measuring jug on top of

the empty dish.

3. Heat on HIGH power for

1 minute.

Result

If the dish is suitable for microwaving, it

will remain cool, whilst the water in the

jug will begin to feel warm. If the testing

dish feels warm, do not use as it is

obviously absorbing microwave energy.

N.B. This test does not apply to plastic

or metal based containers e.g. Le

Creuset®style dishes, which should not

be used as they are cast iron covered

with enamel.

Choosing the correct container is a very important factor in deciding the

success or failure of your cooking.

Testing Dishes for Suitability - For Microwave Cooking Only.

OVEN GLASS

Everyday glass that is heat resistant e.g. Pyrex®, is

ideal for Microwave, Convection or Combination

cooking. DO NOT USE FOR GRILLING. Do not use

delicate glass or lead crystal which may crack or arc.

CHINA AND CERAMIC

Everyday glazed china, porcelain or ceramic plates,

bowls, mugs and cups can be used if they are heat

resistant. Fine bone china should only be used for

reheating for short periods. Do not use dishes with a

metal rim or pattern. Do not use jugs or mugs with

glued handles, since the glue can melt. If dishes are

heat resistant they may be used on Convection and

Combination but not directly under the Grill.

QUICK CHECK GUIDE TO COOKING UTENSILS

When unsure that a cooking container is suitable for

use in your microwave, check by the following test:

PLASTIC

Many plastic containers are designed for microwave use, but do not use for cooking

foods high in sugar or fat or for foods that require long cooking times e.g. brown rice.

Only use Tupperware®

containers if they are

designed for microwave

use. Do not use Melamine.

Never cook in margarine

cartons or yoghurt pots, as

these will melt with the heat

from the food. If heatproof

they can be used for

Convection or Combination

cooking. DO NOT USE

UNDER THE GRILL.

PAPER

Plain white absorbent kitchen paper (kitchen towel)

can only be used for microwave cooking e.g.

covering blind pastry cases and for covering bacon

to prevent splattering. ONLY USE FOR SHORT

COOKING TIMES. NEVER RE-USE A PIECE OF

KITCHEN TOWEL. ALWAYS USE A FRESH PIECE

OF PAPER FOR EACH DISH.

Avoid kitchen paper containing manmade fibres.

If you are using branded re-cycled kitchen towel,

check first that it is recommended for microwave use.

Do not use waxed or plastic coated cups or plates as

the finish may melt. Greaseproof paper can be used

to line the base of dishes and to cover fatty foods

e.g. bacon rashers, to stop splattering. White paper

plates can be used for SHORT REHEATING TIMES,

on Microwave only.

WICKER, WOOD, STRAW BASKETS

Dishes will crack and could ignite.

Do not use wooden dishes in your microwave.

DO NOT USE ON ANY COOKING MODE.

Microwave Cooking and Defrosting

ACCESSORY TO USE:

When using your oven on MICROWAVE only,

the glass turntable provided must always be in

position. DO NOT attempt to use microwave

only with any metal accessory in the oven.

DO NOT place food directly onto the turntable

except in the case of Jacket Potatoes cooked

by MICROWAVE only.

Foods reheated or cooked by MICROWAVE

only are normally covered with a lid or cling

film, unless otherwise stated.

Program Weight Range Suitable Foods

1 Bread 100 - 900g (4oz - 2lb) Bread and rolls. Turn at beep.

2 Meat Items 200 - 1200g

(7oz - 2lb 10oz)

Small pieces of meat, minced meat, chicken

portions, steaks, chops. Turn at beeps.

3 Meat Joints 400 - 2500g

(14oz - 5lb 8oz)

Whole chicken, meat joints. Turn at beeps

and shield.

1 Check foods during defrosting.

Foods vary in their defrosting

speed.

2 It is not necessary to

cover the food.

3 Always turn or stir the

food especially when

the oven “beeps’’. Shield if

necessary (see point 5).

4 Minced meat/chops/chicken

portions should be broken up or

separated as soon as possible

and placed in a single layer.

5 Shielding prevents food cooking.

It is essential when defrosting

chickens and joints of meat. The

outside thaws out first, so protect

wings/breast/fat with smooth

pieces of aluminium foil secured

with cocktail sticks.

6 Allow standing time so

that the centre of the food thaws

out.

(minimum 1 hour for joints of

meat and whole chickens)

CATEGORY 1 BREAD

The Bread Program is suitable for defrosting small items e.g. rolls, buns and slices of

bread which are required for immediate use. Small items may feel warm immediately

after defrosting. Loaves can also be defrosted on this program but these will require

standing time to allow the centre to thaw out. Standing time can be shortened if

slices are separated and buns and loaves cut in half. Items should be turned halfway

during defrosting. THIS PROGRAM IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CREAM CAKES OR

DESSERTS e.g. cheesecake.

CATEGORY 2 MEAT ITEMS (MINCE/CHOPS/CHICKEN PORTIONS)

It is necessary for mince to be broken up frequently during defrosting and this is best

carried out in a large shallow dish. Chops and chicken portions should be arranged in

a single layer and turned frequently.

CATEGORY 3 MEAT JOINTS/WHOLE CHICKENS

Meat joints and chickens will require shielding during defrosting especially if they are

particularly fatty pieces. This is to prevent over defrosting on the outside edges.

Smooth foil secured with cocktail sticks should be used. DO NOT ALLOW THE FOIL

TO TOUCH THE WALLS OF THE OVEN. Back fat of joints, legs, wings and breast

bones need shielding (see photograph on page 24). Standing time of at least 1 hour

should be allowed (rolled joints may require longer) before cooking to ensure the

centre is fully defrosted.

TIPS

Defrosting Guidelines

Auto Weight Defrost Programs

By selecting the DEFROST power level

from the microwave power pad, and

setting a time, you can defrost food in

your microwave. The biggest challenge

is getting the inside defrosted before the

outside starts to cook.

For this reason a defrost program

alternates between a defrost power and

a standing time. The name for this type

of defrost is cyclic and during the

standing stages there is not any

microwave power in the oven, although

the light will remain on and the turntable

will turn. The automatic stand times

ensure a more even defrost but it is still

necessary to allow for standing time

before use. 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.

Defrosting Using Defrost Power & Time

Turn dense foods and meat 2/3

times during defrosting.

Separate chops and small items

e.g. bread slices where possible.

Chickens and joints of meat will

require shielding during defrosting.

Break up small items e.g. minced

meat, frequently during defrosting.

Meat Defrosting Time Method Standing Time

Beef/Lamb/ 14-16 mins. Place in a suitable dish or on an upturned 60 mins.

Pork Joint 450g (1lb) saucer or use a rack. Turn 3-4 times. Shield.

AFTER GRILLING AS THE OVEN AND ACCESSORIES WILL BE VERY HOT.

9. After Grilling it is important that the Grill accessories are removed for cleaning before reuse

and that the oven walls and floor are wiped with a cloth squeezed in hot soapy water to

remove any grease. DO NOT PUT ACCESSORIES IN DISH WASHER.

GUIDELINES

Convection Cooking

In convection mode the grill in the top of the oven will be on, as this generates the

heat which is then distributed by the fan.

When using the oven just on CONVECTION, there is NO MICROWAVE POWER.

We recommend to check food frequently on convection cooking, as it way be

necessary to cover with foil to avoid over browning.*

For best results always place food in a preheated oven. The Metal Tray must be on

the Glass Turntable when preheating.

●Press to select

Convection Cooking

When using the convection oven the Glass Turntable and metal tray should be

in position. The food is then placed onto the Metal Tray or wire rack. Follow

your individual recipe guidelines.

Roasting Meat: Glass Turntable, Metal Tray. Baking: Glass Turntable, Metal Tray.

OVEN ACCESSORIES TO USE

When using the oven as a CONVECTION oven, there is NO MICROWAVE POWER,

i.e. the oven is operating as a conventional oven and you can use all your standard

metal baking tins and ovenware.

It is not recommended to cook on more than one level when using the

CONVECTION oven. When cooking 2 trays of buns etc, cook in two batches.

Combination Cooking

Your oven has two methods of cooking by Combination.

1. Convection and Microwave

2. Grill and Microwave

COMBINATION cooking is ideal for many foods. The microwave power cooks them

quickly, whilst the oven or grill gives the traditional browning and crispness.

All this happens simultaneously resulting in most foods being cooked in 1/2-2/3 of the

conventional cooking time.

There is no need to preheat on COMBINATION programs, EXCEPT when cooking

pastry.

It is possible to use smooth seamed metal tins and foil containers on

COMBINATION but they must be placed directly onto the Metal Tray on the Glass

Turntable. 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.

To cook successfully by COMBINATION you should always use a minimum of 200 g

(7oz) food. Small quantities should be cooked by Convection, or Grill.

●Press Combination

CONTAINERS TO USE

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 - heatproof glass

e.g. Pyrex® or ceramic are ideal. But do not put dishes on Wire Rack directly under the grill,

place on Metal Tray.

OVEN ACCESSORIES

When using any Combination cooking program the Glass Turntable should be in position

and must have the Metal Tray placed on top, unless otherwise stated.

Combination Cooking

Items of food can be placed onto the

Wire Rack on the Metal Tray on the

Glass Turntable. Heatproof dishes of

food should be placed directly onto the

Metal Tray on the Glass Turntable.

Joints and portions of meat should be

placed on an upturned saucer on the

Metal Tray on the Glass Turntable.

Alternatively they can be placed in a

heatproof dish on the Metal Tray on the

Glass Turntable.

Recipes using foil or metal containers

e.g. cakes and pastries should be

placed directly onto the Metal Tray on

Glass Turntable.

OVEN ACCESSORIES TO USE

When using Combination cooking the Glass Turntable should be in position and must

have the Metal Tray on top, unless otherwise stated.

Combination 1. Convection and Microwave

• Food is usually cooked UNCOVERED.

•After cooking it is important that the accessories are removed for cleaning before

re-use and that the oven walls and floor are wiped with a cloth squeezed in hot

soapy water to remove any grease. DO NOT PUT ACCESSORIES IN THE

• Food is always cooked UNCOVERED.

• To turn food just press the door release pad, remove the Metal Tray and Wire Rack,

turn the food, return to the oven, close the door and press START pad. The oven

will continue to countdown the remaining cooking time.

• After Grilling it is important that the Grill accessories are removed for cleaning

before reuse and that the oven walls and floor are wiped with a cloth squeezed in

hot soapy water to remove any grease. DO NOT PUT ACCESSORIES IN THE

DISHWASHER.

Food should be placed

directly onto the Wire

Rack on the Metal Tray.

This is then placed on

the Glass Turntable.

When cooking fish or

small items, food can

be placed directly on

the metal tray on top of

the Wire Rack.

OVEN ACCESSORIES TO USE

When using Combination cooking the Glass Turntable should be in position

and must have the Metal Tray on top, unless otherwise stated.

GUIDELINES

CONTAINERS TO USE

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 - heatproof glass e.g. Pyrex® or ceramic are ideal. But do not put dishes on

Wire Rack directly under the grill, use the Metal Tray.

We suggest the following options for this Combination mode.

For advice on cooking times refer to cooking charts and recipes in this book.

Foods should always be cooked until browned and piping hot.

CAUTION:

ALWAYS USE OVEN GLOVES WHEN REMOVING DISHES FROM THE OVEN -

ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING OR STIRRING FOODS, AS THE ACCESSORIES

AND SURROUNDING OVEN WILL GET VERY HOT.

* NOTE:

When placing food in the oven after preheating, just open the door using the Door

Release Pad, because if STOP/CANCEL Pad is pressed the program may be

cancelled. Then, if the time was entered, the oven would revert to cooking on

microwave only.

Auto Weight Cook Programs

• Select the desired Auto Weight program, by

pressing the pad. The pad can be pressed

once or twice to select the desired program.

• Press to select grams or pounds and

ounces.

Guidelines for Use

The Auto Weight Programs are designed to take the guesswork out of cooking or reheating

your food. They must ONLY be used for the foods described.

1. Only cook foods within the weight ranges described (see table on page 43).

2. Only use the accessories as indicated on pages 44-46.

3. DO NOT cover food unless stated, as programs 7-10 use a Combination of Microwave and

Convection and it will prevent the food browning. The heat will also melt any plastic covering.

4. Most foods benefit from a STANDING time after cooking on an Auto Program, to allow heat

to continue conducting to the centre.

5. To allow for some variations that occur in food, check that food is thoroughly cooked and

piping hot before serving.

This feature allows you to cook or reheat ten foods by setting the weight only. The oven

determines the Microwave power level and/or Combination setting, then the cooking time

automatically. Select the category of food and then just enter the weight. The weight can be

entered in grams or pounds and ounces.

Cooking and Reheating Guidelines

Most foods reheat very quickly in your oven by HIGH power. Meals can be brought

back to serving temperature in just minutes and will taste freshly cooked and NOT

leftover. Always check food is piping hot and return to oven if necessary.

As a general rule, always cover wet foods, e.g. soups, casseroles and plated meals.

Do not cover dry foods e.g. bread rolls, mince pies, sausage rolls etc.

The charts on pages 49-67 show you the best way to cook or reheat your favourite

foods. The best method depends on the type of food.

Remember when cooking or reheating any food that it should be stirred or turned

wherever possible. This ensures even cooking or reheating on the outside and in the

centre.

When is food reheated?

Food that has been reheated or cooked should be served “piping hot” i.e. steam

should be visibly emitted from all parts. As long as good hygiene practices have been

followed during the preparation and storage of the food, then cooking or reheating

presents no safety risks.

Foods that cannot be stirred should be cut with a knife to test that they are

adequately heated throughout. Even if a manufacturer’s instructions or the times in

the cookbook have been followed, it is still important to check the food is heated

thoroughly. If in doubt, always return to the oven for further reheating.

If you cannot find the equivalent food in the chart then choose a similar type and size

listed and adjust the cooking time if necessary.

PLATED MEALS

Everyone’s appetite varies and reheat

times depend on meal contents. Dense

items e.g. mashed potato, should be

spread out well. If a lot of gravy is

added, extra time may be required.

Place denser items to the outside of the

plate. Between 3-5 mins. on HIGH

power will reheat an average portion. If

stacking two meals, heat on HIGH

power for 6-7 mins. and change the

meals over halfway.

CANNED FOODS

Remove foods from can and place in a

suitable dish before heating.

SOUPS

Use a bowl and stir before, during and

after heating.

CASSEROLES

Stir halfway through and again at the

end of heating.

MINCE PIES - CAUTION

REMEMBER even if the pastry is cold to the touch, the filling will be piping hot and

will warm the pastry through. Take care not to overheat otherwise burning can occur

due to the high fat and sugar content of the filling. Check the temperature of the

filling before consuming to avoid burning your mouth.

CHRISTMAS PUDDINGS AND

LIQUIDS - CAUTION

Take great care when reheating these items. See Page 9 and 10.

Do not leave unattended.

Do not add extra alcohol.

BABIES’ BOTTLES - CAUTION

Milk or formula MUST be shaken thoroughly before heating and again at the end and

tested carefully before feeding a baby.

For 7-8 fl.oz. of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat. Heat on HIGH

power for 25-30 secs.

CHECK CAREFULLY.

For 3 fl.oz. of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat. Heat on HIGH

power for 10-15 secs.

CHECK CAREFULLY.

N.B. Liquid at top of bottle will be much hotter than at bottom and bottle must be

shaken thoroughly.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE YOUR MICROWAVE TO STERILISE

BABIES’ BOTTLES. If you have a special microwave steriliser we urge extreme

caution, due to the low quantity of water involved. It is vital to follow the

manufacturers instructions implicitly.
