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. This 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 conven tion al cooking.
At our Test and Development Kitchens, 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,
