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 technology. This 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 donʼt expect to
become a perfect microwave cook overnight –
some of the methods are very different to
those used in conven tion al cooking. Home
Economists program the ovens especially for
the UK market. The recipes are also 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:
