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.
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
