When using recipes in this book always follow metric or imperial measurements.
Do not combine the two. In some recipes the conversions are not a direct
equivalent due to recipe result.
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 40-44 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
Dear Owner,
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.
At our busy Test and Development Kitchen in Bracknell, Home Economists program
the ovens especially for the UK market. The recipes are tested many times to ensure
you achieve successful results at home.
We hope you enjoy using your new oven but should you require any further help or
explanation, phone our

1. Examine Your Oven
Unpack oven, remove all packing material, and examine the oven
for any damage such as dents, broken door latches or cracks in
the door. Notify dealer immediately if unit is damaged. Do NOT
install if unit is damaged.
2. Guarantee
Your receipt is your guarantee, please keep safely.
3. Cord
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.
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.
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 an element situated in the top of the oven. After
using the CONVECTION, COMBINATION and GRILL function, this
surface will be very hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching
the heating elements inside the oven.
N.B. After cooking by these modes, the oven accessories will be
very hot.
3. The accessible parts may become hot when the convection oven
or grill is in use.
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. In case of electronic
failure, oven can only be turned off at wall socket.
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 CONVECTION
250 °C 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: Grill element and 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.
Unpacking your oven
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Do not use outdoors.
Placement of your oven

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. The grill in the oven has a self-clean catalytic lining.
It is
therefore not necessary to clean the radiant grill element or above
the grill in the roof of the oven.
4. After using CONVECTION, GRILL
or COMBINATION cooking
the enamel 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, the roof of the oven,
and the door. DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN.
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 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. 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.
8. It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass turntable
for
cleaning. Wash the tray in warm soapy water. Do not place in the
dishwasher.
9. 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.
10.When GRILLING or cooking by COMBINA
TION or
CONVECTION some foods may splatter grease onto the enamel
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.Ensure all accessories
are kept scrupulously clean, especially
when using microwave or combination programs.
12.A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.
1. Service
WHEN YOUR OVEN REQUIRES A
SERVICE call your local Panasonic
engineer. You can look on the Panasonic
web site (www.panasonic.co.uk) under
the “Support” option, where a service
dealer locater can be found or alternatively call our Customer
Care Centre on 08705 357357 who 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.
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.
Maintenance of your oven
5
1. Do not operate the oven without the Roller Ring and Glass
Turntable in place, unless you are cooking on CONVECTION and
wish to use the Wire or Enamel Shelves.
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 5 Kg (11lb) this
includes total weight of food and dish. The maximum weight to be
placed on the shelves is 5 Kg (11lb).
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, unless on CONVECTION cooking you
wish to use the Wire or the Enamel Shelves.

Safety
If smoke or a fire occurs in the oven, press Stop/Cancel pad 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.
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.
6. Liquids.
Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers
since they are liable to explode. 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
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.
Important Information – Read Carefully
7
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.
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. Utensils.
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 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 5 Kg
(11lb) this includes total weight of food and dish.
Important Information – Read Carefully
8
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 1
1
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.
IMPORTANT NOTES
HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD
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 9).
Boiled Eggs
Do not boil eggs in your microwave.
Raw eggs boiled in their shells can
explode and cause serious injury

General Guidelines
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.
vegetables 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.
STANDING TIME
Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket
potatoes and cakes, require a
STANDING TIME (inside or
outside of the oven) after cooking,
to allow heat to finish conducting
to cook the centre completely.
MEAT JOINTS – Stand 15 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil.
JACKET POTATOES – Stand 5 mins. wrapped in aluminium
foil.
LIGHT CAKES – Stand 5 mins. before removing from dish.
RICH DENSE CAKES – Stand 15-20 mins.
FISH – Stand 2-5 mins.
EGG DISHES – Stand 2-3 mins.
PRECOOKED CONVENIENCE FOODS – Stand for 5 mins.
PLATED MEALS – Stand for 2-5 mins.
VEGETABLES – Boiled potatoes benefit from standing
1-2 mins., however most other types of vegetables can be
served immediately.
DEFROSTING – It is essential to allow standing time to
complete the process. This can vary from 5 mins. e.g.
raspberries, to up to 1 hour for a joint of meat.
If food is not cooked after STANDING TIME, return to oven
and cook for additional time.
10
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.
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, casseroles, soups. Do
not cover cakes, sauces, jacket
potatoes, pastry items.
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.
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, the roof of the
oven and door area.
11
Containers to use
When unsure that a cooking container
is suitable for use in your microwave,
check by the following test:
1. Fill a microwave safe measuring jug
with 300ml (
1
2
pt) 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.
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.
POTTER
Y, EARTHENWARE,
STONEWARE
If completely glazed, these dishes
are suitable. Do not use if partially
glazed or unglazed, since they are
able to absorb water which in turn
absorbs microwave energy, making
the container very hot and slows
down the cooking of food.
FOIL/MET
AL CONTAINERS
NEVER ATTEMPT TO COOK IN
FOIL OR METAL containers on
Microwave only as the microwaves
cannot pass through and the food
will not heat evenly, it may also
damage your oven. Small items in
shallow foil containers can be
REHEATED in the microwave, as
long as containers do not touch the oven walls or door. Foil
and metal containers can be used on Grill and Convection
modes and may be used with care during certain
Combination cooking, as long as they are not damaged or
dented.
QUICK CHECK GUIDE TO COOKING UTENSILS
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.
12
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, STRA
W BASKETS
Dishes will crack and could ignite.
Do not use wooden dishes in your microwave.
DO NOT USE ON ANY COOKING MODE.
CLING FILM
Microwave
cling film can
only be used
for covering
food that is
reheated by
microwave. It is also useful for covering
food to be cooked, but care should be
taken to avoid the film being in direct
contact with the food eg. Do not line
dishes with cling film. DO NOT USE ON
ANY OTHER COOKING MODE.
ROASTING BAGS
Roasting bags are useful when slit up
one side to tent a joint, for roasting by
power and time. Do not use the metal
twists supplied, when using Microwave
or Combination.
ALUMINIUM FOIL
Small amounts of smooth aluminium foil
can be used to SHIELD joints of meat
during defrosting and cooking by
Microwave, as the microwaves cannot
pass through the foil, this prevents the
parts shielded from overcooking or over-
defrosting. Take care that the foil does
not touch the sides or roof of the oven,
as this may cause arcing and damage
your oven. Aluminium foil can be used for
Convection cooking.

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.
Two Stage Cooking:
e.g. High power 10 minutes followed by Simmer power 20 minutes; Select High power and program 10 minutes then select
second power (Simmer) with second cooking time (20 minutes) then press Start.
Three Stage Cooking:
e.g. High power 5 minutes, Delay 5 minutes, High power 2 minutes; Select first Power level and cooking time, then press
DELAY and time, then select final power level and final cooking time. Then press Start.
Select the desired program by
pressing pad once, twice or
three times.
Press to select g or lb and oz. Enter the weight by pressing the
More & Less pads. The more
pad will start with the
minimum weight for each
food.
• Press Start.
Auto Weight Defrost
With this feature you can defrost frozen foods according to the weight. Select the category and set the weight of the food. The
weight can be programmed in pounds and ounces or grams. The weight starts from the minimum weight for each category.
Program Weight Range Suitable Foods
1 Bread 100 - 800g (4oz - 1lb 12oz) 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.

CHAOSCHAOS
17
This feature allows you to defrost minced meat, chops, chicken portions, meat joints and bread.
The CHAOS defrost pad should be pressed to select the correct category and then enter in the weight of the food in grams or
pounds and ounces using the appropriate pads (See page 16).
Foods should be placed in a suitable dish, whole chickens and joints of meat should be on an upturned saucer or on a rack.
Chops, chicken portions and slices of bread should be placed in a single layer. It is not necessary to cover the foods.
The CHAOS Theory principle is used in Auto Weight defrost programs to give you a quick and more even defrost.
The CHAOS system uses a random sequence of pulsing microwave energy which speeds up the defrosting process.
During the program the oven will beep to remind you to check the food.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU TURN AND STIR THE FOOD FREQUENTLY AND SHIELD IF NECESSARY (See page 18).
On hearing the first beep you should TURN and SHIELD (if possible). On the second beep you should turn the food or break it up.
Auto Weight Defrost Programs
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 above). Standing time of at least 1 hour
should be allowed (rolled joints may require longer) before cooking to ensure the centre is fully defrosted.

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)
By selecting the DEFROST power level
from the microwave power pad, and
setting a time, you can defrost food in
your microwave. The biggest problem 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 Guidelines
Turn dense foods and meat 2/3
times during defrosting.
TIPS
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.

THE ACCESSORIES AND SURROUNDING OVEN WILL GET VERY HOT. USE OVEN GLOVES.
The radiant Grill system on the oven gives efficient cooking for a wide variety of foods e.g. chops, sausages, steak, toast, oven
chips etc.
ALWAYS PREHEAT THE GRILL BEFORE USE.
The metal tray must be on the glass turntable when preheating, unless you are using the enamel shelf.
Inoperable
NOTE: The Grill will only operate with the oven door closed, and there is no microwave power on the GRILL only program.
When using the grill to cook foods, once the grill is preheated the cooking times will be similar to traditional grilling. Most foods
will require turning halfway through the cooking time (see section on oven accessories page 22).
The Grill has three variable settings, Grill 1 (High), Grill 2 (Medium) and Grill 3 (Low). Grill 1 will be the hottest.
G
RILLING TIMES
Place food on Splash Guard in the Metal
Tray on the High Wire Rack on
Turntable.
The splash guard will allow fat to drip
through into the Metal Tray which will
prevent excess splatter and smoke when
grilling steaks, chops and other fatty
foods.
Most foods require turning halfway
during cooking. When turning food, open
oven door and CAREFULLY remove the
Metal Tray, Splash Guard and High Wire
Rack or enamel shelf by holding the
accessories firmly. Use oven gloves
when removing accessories as they will
be very hot, and so will the roof and
walls of the oven.
After turning, return food to the oven,
close door and press START. The oven
will continue to count down the
remaining cooking time. It is quite safe to
open the oven door at any time to check
the progress of the food as it is grilling.
22
Grilling
When grilling foods the Glass Turntable should be in position, with the High Wire Rack and the Metal Tray on top. The
splash guard is placed inside the metal tray when cooking fatty foods. Or the enamel shelf can be used for grilling large
quantities of food or to brown off a dish of food, but we do not recommend using this for fatty foods that can splatter.
O
VEN ACCESSORIES TO USE
1. There is no microwave power on the GRILL only program.
2. Use the accessories provided, as explained above.
3. The Grill will only operate with the oven door closed.
4. Most meat items e.g. bacon, sausages, chops can be cooked on the hottest setting - GRILL 1.
5. GRILL 2 and GRILL 3 are used for more delicate foods or those that require a longer grill time e.g. fish or chicken portions.
6. ALWAYS PREHEAT THE GRILL WITH THE METAL TRAY ON GLASS TURNTABLE, UNLESS YOU ARE USING THE
ENAMEL SHELF.
7. NEVER COVER THE FOOD WHEN GRILLING.
8. ALWAYS USE OVEN GLOVES WHEN REMOVING THE FOOD AND ACCESSORIES 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.

Convection Cooking
Your Dimension 4 Combination Oven can be used as a conventional oven using the CONVECTION mode which incorporates a
heating element with a fan.
Convection cooking is ideal for all cakes, pastries, yorkshire puddings and roast meats.
You can cook on one or two levels when using convection cooking. See individual recipes and guidelines on page 24 and 25 for
recommended accessories to use.

Convection Cooking
ONE LEVEL COOKING.
Roasting Meat: Glass Turntable, Metal
Tray, Splash Guard and Low Rack.
Baking: Glass Turntable, Metal Tray, Low
Rack.
OVEN ACCESSORIES TO USE
If cooking on one level, you can use one of the shelves on the lower level, or you can use the round metal tray on top of the glass
turntable.
GUIDELINES
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 possible to cook on one or two levels when using convection cooking.
If using the turntable the food is then placed on the Low Rack or directly onto the Metal Tray. When cooking meat or other fatty
foods ensure that the Splash Guard is also in position. Follow your individual recipe guidelines.
If using a shelf, place on the lower level. You can use the enamel shelf as a baking dish for roasting meat or potatoes, and the
wire shelf for baking Swiss rolls or large dishes of food, that can not fit on the turntable.
Roasting Meat / Potatoes: Enamel Shelf
on Lower Level.
Baking: Wire Shelf on Lower Level.
25
TWO LEVEL COOKING
When cooking on two levels use both the shelves supplied, with the enamel shelf on the lower level and the wire shelf on the
upper level.
Depending on the recipe, you can preheat with or without the shelves in position. See individual recipes for details.
The shelves are ideal for batch baking and when cooking in a large dish that will not turn on the turntable.
Ensure that the shelves are inserted correctly, and are secure before use.
Do not place a dish of food weighing more than 5Kg (11 lb) on each shelf.
ALWAYS USE OVEN GLOVES WHEN REMOVING THE FOOD AND ACCESSORIES AFTER COOKING AS THE OVEN &
ACCESSORIES WILL BE VERY HOT.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU HOLD THE DISH AND/OR SHELVES FIRMLY WHEN YOU ARE REMOVING THEM FROM THE
OVEN AS IF THEY ARE ALLOWED TO TILT HOT FOOD OR OIL COULD SPILL.

Micro Power
COMBINATION cooking is ideal for many
foods. The microwave power cooks them
quickly, whilst the oven, grill or both 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 and using a COMBINATION
program of Grill and Microwave.
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 Low 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, Grill or TURBO-BAKE
.
or
or
PREHEAT IF NECESSARY
* 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.
OVEN ACCESSORIES
When using any Combination cooking program the Glass
Turntable should be in position and must have the Metal Tray
placed on top.
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 the High Wire
Rack directly under the grill, use the Low Rack.

Combination 1. Convection and Microwave
This is the most popular combination mode combining convection heat with microwave power. Casseroles, meat joints, jacket potatoes and
pastries are very successful using this combination. Unsuitable foods are those which contain whisked eggs, meringues, rich fruit cakes, biscuits
and yorkshire puddings.
It is not necessary to preheat except when cooking pastry dishes, to achieve a better result. For pastry dishes preheat oven to 210°C on

Guidelines for Use
The Auto Sensor 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 below).
2. Only use the accessories as indicated on page 36.
3. It is essential when using the Auto Sensor programs 1-4, which use microwave only, to cover the food with pierced cling film or a lid that is
designed to fit the dish.
4. DO NOT cover food on Sensor Combi programs 5-8, as they use a Combination of Microwave and Convection oven and/or Grill and it will
prevent the food browning. The heat of the grill will also melt any plastic covering.
5. Always choose a container size that is suitable for the quantity of food i.e. do not allow too large a headspace or the food may not be cooked
correctly.
6. Most foods benefit from a STANDING time after cooking on an Auto Program, to allow heat to continue conducting to the centre.
7. To allow for some variations that occur in food, check that food is thoroughly cooked and piping hot before serving.
Minimum/Maximum Weights to use on Auto Programs
Program Minimum Maximum
Chilled Meal 300 g (11oz) 600 g (1lb 5oz)
Frozen Meal 300 g (11oz) 600 g (1lb 5oz)
Fresh Vegetables 100 g (4oz) 900 g (2lb)
Fresh Fish 100 g (4oz) 900 g (2lb)
Program Minimum Maximum
Jacket Potatoes 200 g (7oz) 1500 g (3lb 5oz)
Frozen Potato Products 200 g (7oz) 500 g (1lb 2oz)
Roast Potatoes 400 g (14oz) 1000 g (2lb 2oz)
Roast Vegetables 400 g (14oz) 1000 g (2lb 2oz)
These features allow you to cook or reheat foods automatically. There is no need to enter the weight, as these programs use a humidity sensor
which will automatically select the correct Microwave power level and/or Combination setting and calculate the correct cooking time.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. If you select an Auto Sensor program directly after plugging in the oven an initial warm up period will automatically count down in the display
window, after which the sensor programs may be operated.
2. The Sensor Programs cannot be used when the oven is hot. If “HOT” appears in the display window, when trying to set a Sensor program, do
not press Stop/Cancel. A fan will automatically operate to cool the oven within 10-15 minutes, as long as the word “HOT” is left in the display,
otherwise cooling may take longer. If in a hurry, cook the food manually, i.e. select the correct power level and cooking time.

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 40-52 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 heating and
at least once through reheat time and
again at the end.
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 6.
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.
See page 40 for details.
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.

Increasing and Decreasing Recipes
INCREASING RECIPES
To increase a recipe from 4 to 6 servings, increase each
ingredient listed by half. To double the quantity, simply double every
ingredient listed.
Do not forget that large quantities will require a larger dish. Make
sure that it is deep enough to prevent the recipe from boiling over
during cooking.
Cover as directed in the recipe. Stir or rearrange foods as
recommended.
Increase the stand times by 5 mins. per lb.
Always check the recipe during cooking.
When increasing the ingredients to 6 servings, add an extra one
third of the original cooking time, i.e.. 30 mins. on MEDIUM power
for 4 servings will become 40 mins. on MEDIUM power for
6 servings.
When doubling a recipe from 4 to 8 add on half the original
cooking time, i.e. 30 mins. on MEDIUM power for 4 servings will
become 45 mins. on MEDIUM power for 8 servings.
DECREASING RECIPES
To decrease a recipe from 4 servings to 2 servings, halve the
ingredients listed.
Choose a dish that is proportionally smaller than the one
recommended in the recipe, however make sure it is deep enough
to stop food boiling over.
Allow half to two-thirds of the original cooking time, i.e. 30 mins. on
MEDIUM power for 4 servings will become 15-20 mins. on
MEDIUM power for 2 servings.
Using Recipes from Other Books
The best way to convert a family favourite dish is to find a similar
recipe in a cookery book to give you a guide to the correct method
and timings to use.
Many cookbooks refer to 650W ovens, however since 1990 oven
output powers have been set by a new standard (IEC). When using
other cookbooks, the 1000 W output power of your oven must be
allowed for. Use the same power level suggested e.g. HIGH or
MEDIUM and select the same cooking time suggested, however
CHECK the progress of the food during cooking and adjust the time if
necessary.
Cooking for One
For one serving quarter ALL ingredients listed.
Choose a dish that is proportionally smaller than the one
recommended in the recipe.
Use the same cooking power recommended in the original recipe.
Start by cooking for one quarter of the recommended cooking time,
although extra time in most cases will be required.
Always check the food during cooking.
There is not a great saving for reduced quantities of soups,
casseroles, stews and rice, as a minimum time is required to
tenderise meats and blend flavours.
When cooking for one it often makes sense to cook for two and
plate up both meals. Freeze one meal for a later date.

2
cm (1”) cube fresh ginger, peeled and
grated
dash of Soy sauce
juice of 1 orange
juice of 1 lime

25 g (1 oz) butter
Fish
Fish cooks very well by microwave as it
stays moist and the lingering fish smells left
in conventional ovens are avoided.
WHEN IS FISH COOKED?
Fish is cooked when it flakes easily and
becomes opaque.
For fish with a strong odour, eliminate the
smell after cooking by placing 600 ml (1 pt)
of boiling water and 1 sliced lemon in a large
bowl, cook on SIMMER for 20 mins. Wipe
out oven with a dry cloth.
WHOLE FISH
If cooking 2 whole fish together, they should
be arranged head to tail for even cooking.
Large whole fish must have the tail and head
shielded halfway through cooking with
smooth pieces of tin foil secured with
cocktail sticks.
ARRANGING
Thin fillets of fish i.e. plaice, should be rolled
up prior to cooking to avoid overcooking on
the thinner outside edge and tail.
Fish steaks should be arranged in a circle,
thicker part to the outside. Cover with cling
film or lid.
LIQUID
Fresh fish should always be sprinkled with
30 ml (2 tbsp) of lemon juice, white wine or
water.
When cooking Frozen fish, add liquid as
above for even cooking.
Do not sprinkle salt onto fish before cooking
as this may make the fish dry.
NOISE
During cooking, popping sounds may be
heard. This is due to moisture trapped
between the flesh, particularly with oily fish
such as salmon and mackerel. This can be
minimised when cooking if the skin and flesh
is pierced several times with a cocktail stick.

MEAT AND POULTRY
Meat and Poultry
DEFROSTED JOINTS
If the meat has previously been frozen,
ensure it is properly thawed before cooking
by microwave. Defrosted joints of meat must
be allowed to STAND for up to an hour.
before cooking to ensure the centre is fully
defrosted.
FAT
Large amounts of fat absorb microwave
energy and can cause the meat next to it to
overcook. Always choose joints that aren’t
excessively fatty.
STANDING TIME
Meat and poultry require a minimum of
15 mins. STANDING TIME wrapped in
aluminium foil after cooking by microwave.
Roast meat is always easier to carve after
STANDING and the meat will continue to
cook during the STAND TIME.
BONE
Bone tips on legs of lamb and crown roasts
may need shielding when cooked by
microwave, to prevent overcooking.
TURNING
Joints and poultry should be turned over
halfway through cooking.
SHIELDING
Large joints may need shielding with pieces
of smooth aluminium foil after half the
cooking time to avoid overcooking on the
outside edges. Turkeys and large chickens
should have their breast meat, legs and
wings protected. Secure foil with cocktail
sticks and do not allow foil to touch the walls
of the oven.
How to roast a joint by Combination
Place the joint on Low Rack on Splash Guard
in Metal Tray and place on Glass Turntable.
Guidelines
TIPS
Braised and stewed meat cooked in a microwave has a slightly firm texture and therefore it is essential to purchase good quality meats.
When cooking a casserole, place a saucer or small upturned plate over the meat to keep it submerged in the juices.
Crispy Bacon - place on a microwave safe rack (optional extra obtainable from cookware shops). Cover with a plain piece of kitchen towel to
minimise splatter. Cook on HIGH power for approx. 45 secs. per rasher, or until desired crispness is achieved.
How to roast a joint by microwave
To roast basic joints of meat place the joint
onto the rack of a microwave roasting set
and cover with a dome lid. Alternatively use
a large, shallow dish and place the joint on
an upturned saucer and cover with cling film.
ROASTING BAGS
Roasting bags are useful when split up one
side to tent a joint for roasting by power and
time.
Do not use the metal twists supplied.
How to cook small cuts of meat by
microwave
Some cuts of meat can be cooked
successfully by microwave although due to
their short cooking times and no heat
source, they will not crisp and brown.
They should always be cooked on a
microwave rack to lift them out of their
juices.

VEGETABLES AND VEGETARIAN
Vegetables and Vegetarian
Root vegetables. i.e. carrots, swede,
should be cut into slices, strips or cubes.
Do not mix fresh and frozen vegetables
as the cooking times may be different.
Cabbage should be shredded and
cooked by power and time.
Fresh vegetables require 90 ml (6 tbsp)
of water. For each extra 450 g (1 lb) add
an extra 90 ml (6 tbsp) of water and stir
halfway.
If cooking potatoes with other vegetables,
only cook with other ROOT vegetables.
Never add salt to vegetables before
microwaving. Remember the flavour of
microwaved vegetables is much better
than boiled.
Always cook vegetables in a dish that is
a suitable size. Use flat dishes not
basins. Always cover with microwave
cling film or a lid.
Certain vegetables i.e. broccoli and
asparagus, should be arranged so that
the tips are in the centre of the dish, as
these require less cooking.
Whole cauliflower should be cooked
upside down on MEDIUM power for
10 mins. approx. with 90 ml (6 tbsp)
water.
Jacket Potatoes -
Cooking by microwave only
Varieties of potatoes vary in their
suitability for cooking by microwave. We
recommend Maris Piper for consistently good
results. The cooking times given may need
adjustment for other varieties. The ideal size
of potato to be cooked by microwave is
175 g - 250 g (6-9 oz).
Before Cooking
Wash potatoes and prick skins several times.
Spread around edge of turntable.
After Cooking
Remove from oven and wrap in aluminium foil
to retain the heat. Leave to stand for 5 mins.

STERILIZING JARS
Jam jars can be sterilized by microwave
ready for your jams. Half fill with water and
heat them on HIGH power until water boils
(approx. 3 mins. for 2 jars). Empty and drain
upside down on kitchen paper. The jars
should be warm when filled with jam.
If you wish to cook larger quantities than
given in the recipes below, revert to the
traditional hob method, using a traditional
recipe.
DISH SIZE
Always use a very large pyrex bowl. DO NOT
attempt to use jam pans or saucepans in your
microwave.
DO NOT LEAVE JAMS UNATTENDED
DURING COOKING BECAUSE OF THE
HIGH SUGAR CONTENT.
COVERING
Do not cover preserves whilst cooking, apart
from if recommended in the recipe.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU
USE YOUR MICROWAVE TO STERILIZE
BABIES’ BOTTLES.
(See details on page 39,40)
DO NOT SEAL PRESERVING JARS IN
YOUR MICROWAVE.
SETTING POINT
To determine whether setting point is
reached, place a couple of drops of jam or
marmalade on a cold saucer (put one in the
fridge whilst making the jam). Leave to cool.
The jam should wrinkle on the surface when
your finger pushes across the top.

Q My microwave oven causes
interference with my TV, is this
normal?
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, hair dryers, etc. It does
not indicate a problem with your
oven.
Q Sometimes warm air comes from
the oven vents. Why?
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 isn’t an
airtight seal to the air therefore
steam can escape. There are no
microwaves in the air, or steam.
The oven vents should never be
blocked during cooking.
Q My oven has an odour and
generates smoke when using the
CONVECTION, COMBINATION
and GRILL function. Why?
A It is essential that your oven is
wiped out regularly particularly after
cooking by COMBINATION or
GRILL. Any fat and grease that
builds up will begin to smoke if not
cleaned.
1. In case of fitting into an oven
housing, please use Panasonic’s
Trim Kit
NN-TKA80W - White
NN-TKA81A - Aluminium
NN-TKA80M - Metallic Silver, can
also be used for Stainless Steel
ovens.
2. Microwave ovens should not be
built into a unit directly above a
top front venting conventional
cooker. This will invalidate your one
year guarantee.
3. A microwave which is built in must
be more than 850 mm above floor
level. Read Trim-Kit instructions
carefully before installation.
It is recommended that the
microwave oven is placed below a
conventional oven to avoid heat
damage to the facia of the
microwave.
However if it is necessary to install
the microwave above, then a gap of
at least 15 cm (6 inches) is required
from the top of the conventional
oven casing to the bottom of the
microwave oven casing.
