Questions and Answers
Q: Why wonʼt my oven turn on?
A: When the oven does not turn on, check the
following:
1. Is the oven plugged in securely?
Remove the plug from the outlet, wait
10 seconds and reinsert.
2. Check the circuit breaker and the fuse.
Reset the circuit breaker or replace the
fuse if it is tripped or blown.
3. If the circuit breaker or fuse is all right,
plug another appliance into the outlet. If
the other appliance works, there
probably is a problem with the oven. If
the other appliance does not work, there
probably is a problem with the outlet. If
it seems that there is a problem with the
oven, contact an authorized Service
Center.
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, blow dryers, etc.
It does not indicate a problem with your
oven.
Q: The oven wonʼt accept my program.
Why?
A: The oven is designed not to accept an
incorrect program. For example, the oven
will not accept a fourth stage, and will not
accept Auto Weight Program after Delay
Start.
Q: Why is there no word prompt in my
display?
A: The power supply had been off at your
home or the plug disconnected. Repeat the
procedure described on page 10.
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 are no
microwaves in the air. The oven vents
should never be blocked during cooking.
Q: There are humming and clicking noises
from my oven when I cook by
COMBINATION. What is causing these
noises?
A: The noises occur as the oven automatically
switches from microwave power to
CONVECTION/GRILL to create the
combination setting. This is normal.
Q: Can I check the pre-set oven
temperature while cooking or preheating
by CONVECTION?
A: Yes. Press Convection Pad and the oven
temperature will appear in the display
window for 2 seconds.
Q: Can I easily cook my favourite recipes
using CONVECTION/GRILL?
A: Yes. You can cook your favourite recipe
just as you would in a conventional oven.
Check instructions in the Panasonic
Cookbook for suggested oven
temperatures and cooking times.
Q: “D” appears in the display and the oven
does not cook. Why?
A: The oven has programmed DEMO MODE.
This mode is designed for retail store
display. Deactivate this mode by pressing
Micro Pad once then Stop/Cancel Pad four
times.
Q: Can I use a conventional oven
thermometer in the oven?
A: Only when you are using
CONVECTION/GRILL cooking mode. The
metal in some thermometers may cause
arcing in your oven and should not be used
on MICROWAVE and COMBINATION
cooking modes.
Q: My oven has an odour and generates
smoke when using the CONVECTION,
COMBINATION and GRILL function.
Why?
A: After repeated use, it is recommended to
clean the oven and then run the oven
without food, glass tray, and roller ring on
CONVECTION 250°C for 10 minutes. This
will burn off any food, residue or oil which
may cause an odour and/or smoking.
