Thank you for purchasing a Panasonic Microwave Oven.

Your oven is rated 1000 Watts (IEC). When using other cookbooks remember to adjust

cooking times accordingly. The symbol indicates the heating category for your oven when

cooking or reheating convenience foods.

Your oven is rated ‘E’, which is very efcient. 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 and cooking on pages

61-75

of this book.

Always

check the progress of the food as it cooks or reheats by simply opening the door. After

checking the progress of the foods, touch Start to continue the cooking time.

Important information

Safety

If smoke is emitted or a re occurs in the

oven, touch Stop/Cancel and leave the door

closed in order to stie any ames.

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 rst 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 re and possibly damage the

interior of the oven.

Note

The above illustration is for reference only.

Small quantities of food

Take care when heating small quantities

of food as these can easily burn, dry out

or catch re if cooked too long. Always set

short cooking times and check the food

frequently.

Note

Never operate the oven without food

inside on microwave or combination

mode involving microwave.

Foods low in moisture

Take care when heating foods low in

moisture, e.g. bread items, chocolate,

biscuits and pastries. These can easily burn,

dry out or catch on re if cooked too long.

We do not recommend heating foods low in

moisture such as popcorn or poppodums.

The microwave oven is intended for heating

food and beverages only. Drying of food,

newspapers or clothing and heating of

warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp

cloth, wheat bags, hot water bottles and

similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or

re.

Christmas pudding

Christmas puddings and other foods high in

fats or sugar, e.g. jam, mince pies, must not

be overheated. These foods must never be

left unattended as with over cooking these

foods can ignite.

Boiled eggs

Eggs in their shell and whole hardboiled

eggs should not be heated in microwave

ovens since they may explode even after

microwave heating has ended.

Foods with skin

Potatoes, apples, egg yolk, whole

vegetables and sausages are examples of

foods with non porous skin. These must be

pierced using a fork before cooking to

prevent bursting.

Warning

Liquids and other foods must not be

heated in sealed containers since

they are liable to explode.

Liquids

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:



Avoid using straight-sided containers

with narrow necks.



Do not overheat.



Stir the liquid before placing the

container in the oven and again halfway

through the heating time.



After heating, allow to stand in the oven

for a short time, stirring again before

carefully removing the container.

Microwave heating of beverages can

result in delayed eruptive boiling,

therefore care should be taken when

handling the container.

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.

Deep fat frying

Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.

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.

Important information

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 when cooking

mode includes microwave power as

arcing will occur. Do not use recycled paper

products, e.g. kitchen roll unless they say

they are specically designed for use in a

microwave oven. These products contain

impurities which may cause sparks and/or

res when used.

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.

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.

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. The oven should be unplugged

when cleaning.

Grilling

The oven will only operate on the

grill

function with the door closed.

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.

Utensils/containers

Before use check that utensils/containers

are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

See pages 22-23.

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 in

order to avoid burns. See page 60.

Arcing

Arcing may occur if a metal container has

been used incorrectly, if the incorrect weight

of food is used, or if the Square Panacrunch

Pan has been damaged. Arcing is when blue

ashes 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,

oven or steam only.

Important information

Microwaving principles

Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all

the time, both naturally and from manmade

sources. Manmade sources include radar,

radio, television, telecommunication links and

mobile phones.

Oven cavit

Base of

the oven

Stirrer motor Waveguide

Microwave

stirrer

Magnetron

In a microwave oven, electricity is converted

into microwaves by the

Magnetron

. For

bottom feeding, please refer to page 29.

Reection

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 note

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 can not

pass through metal and therefore

metal cooking utensils can never

be used in a microwave, for

cooking on microwave only.

How microwaves cook food

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 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.

Foods not suitable for cooking by

microwave only

Yorkshire pudding and soufes. This is

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 20).

Boiled eggs

Do not boil eggs in your microwave.

Raw eggs boiled in their shells can

explode and cause serious injury.

Control panel

Note



The oven will enter stand-by

mode after the last operation

has completed. When in stand-

by mode, the brightness of the

display will be reduced.



When in stand-by mode, it is

necessary to open and close

the oven door.



If an operation is set and Start

is not touched within 6 minutes,

the oven will automatically

cancel the operation. The

display will revert back to colon

or Clock mode.

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 nish conducting through the food.



Jacket potatoes

Wrap in aluminium foil once cooked by

microwave only. Stand for 5 min. It is not

necessary to stand jacket potatoes cooked

combination

mode.



Fish

Stand for 2-3 minutes.



Egg dishes

Stand for 1-2 minutes.



Precooked convenience food

Stand for 2-3 minutes.

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 during storage so cooking

times may differ from ingredients

freshly purchased.

Cling lm

Cling lm 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 lm from a dish

as the build-up of steam will be

very hot. Always purchase cling

lm that states on the packet

“suitable for microwave

cooking” and use as a covering

only. Do not line dishes with

cling lm. Do not cover foods

when cooking by

grill, oven

combination.

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.

General guidelines



Meat joints

Stand 15 min wrapped in aluminium foil.



Plated meals

Stand for 2-3 minutes.



Vegetables

Boiled potatoes benet from standing for

1-2 minutes, 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 minutes. e.g. raspberries, to 1-2 hours for

a joint of meat. See pages 31-32.

If food is not cooked after

standing time

return to oven and cook for additional time.

General guidelines

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 lm or a self-tting lid.

Cover sh, vegetables,

casseroles, soups. Do not

cover cakes, sauces, jacket

potatoes, pastry items. Please

refer to cooking charts and

recipes for more information.

Arranging

Individual foods e.g. chicken

portions or chops, should be

placed in a dish so that the

thicker parts are to the outside.

Ingredients

Foods containing fat, sugar or

salt heat up very quickly. The

lling may be much hotter than

the pastry. Take care when

eating.

Do not

overheat even

if the pastry does not appear

to be very hot.

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.

Food temperature should

be between 5-8 °C before

cooking.

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, during and after

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 and door area.

Customers should not spray

directly into the cavity.

Quick check guide to cooking utensils

Containers to use

Oven glass

Everyday glass that is heat

resistant e.g. Pyrex

, is

ideal for microwave, oven or

combination cooking.

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

Oven and Combination but not

directly under the Grill.

Pottery, 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/metal 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. Foil and

metal containers can be used on

grill or oven.

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.

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

300 ml cold water.

2. Place it on the base of the oven along

side 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.

Note

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.

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 Oven 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. 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

bres.

If you are using branded re-cycled kitchen

towel, check rst that it is recommended for

microwave use. Do not use waxed or plastic

coated cups or plates as the nish may

melt. Greaseproof paper can be used to line

the base of dishes and to cover when blind

baking pastry cases. White paper plates

can be used for

short reheating times

, on

Microwave only.

Cling lm

Microwave cling lm 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

lm being in direct contact

with the food eg. Do not line

dishes with cling lm.

Do not

use on any other cooking

mode.

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 Oven

cooking.

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.

Do not

attempt to use microwave only with any metal container in the oven.

Do not

place food directly onto the base of the oven. Place in a microwaveable

or glass dish. Foods reheated or cooked by

microwave

only should be

covered with a lid or pierced cling lm, unless otherwise stated.

5. For manual defrosting times, please refer to defrost chart on pages 31-32.

6. For multi-stage cooking refer to pages 46-47.

7. Stand time can be programmed after microwave power and time setting. Refer

to using the timer page 48-49.

Bottom feeding technology

Please note that this product uses bottom feeding technology for microwave distribution which

differs from traditional turntable side feeding methods and creates more useable space for a

variety of different sized dishes.

This microwave feeding style can give a difference in heating times (in microwave mode) when

compared against side feeding appliances. This is quite normal and should not cause any

concern. Please refer to the reheating and cooking charts on pages 61-75.

Arrange food in a single layer.

Turn or break up food as soon as possible.

Shield chickens and joints of meat.

By selecting the

defrost

power level from

the microwave power key 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. During the standing stages there is not

any microwave power in the oven, although

the light will remain on.

The automatic stand times ensure a more

even defrost but it is still necessary to allow

for standing times before use.

For Best Results

1. 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.

2. Check food during defrosting, as foods

vary in their defrosting speed.

3. It is not necessary to cover the food.

4. Always turn or stir the food especially

when the oven “beeps”. Shield if

necessary (see point 6).

5. Minced meat, chops, chicken portions

and other small items should be broken

up or separated as soon as possible

and placed in a single layer.

6. Shielding prevents food cooking. It is

essential when defrosting chickens and

gloves.

Grilling times

When using the grill to cook foods, 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 34).

Oven accessory to use

When grilling sh, chops or small food

items, the Square Panacrunch Pan should

be placed in the upper shelf position. For

larger food items, the Square Panacrunch

Pan should be in the lower shelf position.

Place food on Square

Panacrunch Pan

The Square Panacrunch Pan will allow fat

and juices to drip into the Watercourse to

reduce excess splatter and smoke when

grilling.

Most foods require turning halfway during

cooking. When turning food, open oven

door and

carefully

remove the Square

Panacrunch Pan by holding rmly.

Use oven gloves when removing the Square

Panacrunch Pan as it will be very hot, and

so will the roof and walls of the oven.

After turning, return food to the oven, close

door and touch 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.

Guidelines

1. Use the Square Panacrunch Pan

provided, as explained.

2. Most meat items e.g. bacon, sausages,

chops can be cooked on the hottest

setting

grill 1

. This setting is also suitable

for toasting bread, mufns and teacakes

etc.

3. Grill 2

and

grill 3

are used for more

delicate foods or those that require a

longer grill time e.g. sh or chicken

portions.

4. Never cover the food when grilling.

5. Always use oven gloves when removing

the food and Square Panacrunch Pan

after grilling as they will be very hot.

6. After grilling it is important that the

Square Panacrunch Pan is removed for

cleaning before reuse and that the oven

walls and oor are wiped with a cloth

squeezed in hot soapy water to remove

any grease.

The Panacrunch ʻconceptʼ

Some foods cooked by microwave can have soft and soggy crusts. Your Square Panacrunch

Pan accessory will brown and crisp pizzas, frozen potato products, quiches, pies, breaded

products. Your Panasonic Square Panacrunch Pan works by heating the pan by absorbing

microwaves and heating the food by the Grill. The base of the pan absorbs the microwaves

and transfers them into heat. Then the heat is conducted through the pan to the food. The

heating effect is maximised by the non-stick surface.

Chaos defrost

This feature allows you to defrost minced meat, chops, chicken portions, meat joints

and bread. Tap Chaos defrost to select the correct defrost category and then enter in

the weight of the food in grams

(see page 51).

Foods should be placed in a suitable dish, whole chickens and joints of meat should be on an

upturned saucer or on a microwave safe plate. 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. On hearing the rst beep you should turn and shield

(if possible).

On the second beep you should turn the food or break it up.

Note

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 rst, 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 1-2 hours

for joints of meat and whole chickens).

7. If ‘HOT’ appears in the display window, the oven temperature is too high from

previous use and an auto program can not be set. Cooking mode and time may

still be set manually.

selection, the weight starts from the most commonly used weight for each category.

Note

1. The shape and size of the food will determine the maximum weight the oven can

accommodate.

2. Allow standing time to ensure the food is completely defrosted.

3. If ‘HOT’ appears in the display window, the oven temperature is too high from

Program Weight Instructions

1. MEAT ITEMS

100 - 1200 g

To defrost small pieces of meat, chicken portions, chops,

steaks, minced meat. Place on a plate or shallow dish.

Select program number 1. Enter weight of meat items.

Touch Start. Turn at beeps and shield.

2. MEAT JOINTS

400 - 2000 g

To defrost whole chicken, meat joints. Place on an upturned

saucer on a plate. Select program number 2. Enter weight

of meat joint. Touch Start. Turn at beeps and shield.

3. BREAD

100 - 900 g

To defrost rolls, buns, slices of bread and loaves. Place on

a plate. Select program number 3. Enter weight of bread.

Touch Start. Turn at beeps.

1. Meat items (mince/chops/chicken portions)

Chops and chicken portions should be arranged in a single layer and turned

frequently during defrosting. It is necessary for mince to be broken up frequently

during defrosting and this is best carried out in a large shallow dish. Standing time

20-30 mins.

Not suitable for sausages

, these can be defrosted manually. Please

refer to defrosting chart on pages 31-32.

2. Meat joints/Whole chickens

Whole chickens and meat joints will require shielding during defrosting especially if

it is a particularly fatty piece. This is to prevent food starting to cook on the outside

edges. Protect wings, breast and fat with smooth pieces of aluminium foil secured

with cocktail sticks.

Do not allow the foil to touch the walls of the oven.

Standing

time of at least 1-2 hours should be allowed for joints after defrosting.

3. Bread

This program is suitable for small items which are required for immediate use,

they may feel warm straight 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 during defrosting. Standing time 10 - 30 minutes. A longer time

may be needed for large loaves.

This program is not suitable for cream cakes or

desserts

e.g. cheesecake.

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. 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 61-75 show you the

best way to cook or reheat your favourite

foods. The best method depends on the

type of food you are cooking or reheating.

Remember to stir or turn food wherever

possible during cooking or reheating. 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 nd 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.

An average plated meal will take 4-7 min-

utes on HIGH power to reheat. Do not stack

meals.

Canned foods

Remove foods from can and place in a

suitable dish before heating. Stir food

halfway though cooking and again at the

end of heating.

Soups

Use a bowl and stir before heating and at

least once during reheating and again at the

end.

Casseroles

Stir halfway through and again at the end of

heating.

Caution - Mince pies

Remember

even if the pastry is cold

to the touch, the lling 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 lling.

Check the temperature of the lling

before consuming to avoid burning

your mouth.

Caution - Christmas

puddings and liquids

Take great care when reheating

these items.

Do not leave unattended.

Do not add extra alcohol.

Caution - Babies’ bottles

Milk or formula

must

be shaken

thoroughly before heating and again

at the end and tested carefully

before feeding a baby. Liquid at the

top of the bottle will be much hotter

than at the bottom. The bottle must

be shaken thoroughly and tested

before use.

Note

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 recipes



To increase a recipe from 4-6 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 minutes

per 450 g.



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 minutes on

MEDIUM power for 4 servings will become

40 mins on MEDIUM power for 6 servings.



When doubling a recipe from 4-8, add

on half the original cooking time, i.e.

30 minutes on MEDIUM power for 4

servings will become 45 minutes 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 minutes on MEDIUM

power for 4 servings will become

15-20 minutes on MEDIUM power for

2 servings.

The best way to convert a family favourite dish

is to nd a similar recipe in a cookery book to

give you a guide to the correct method and

timings to use.

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.



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 avours.



When cooking for one it often makes

sense to cook for two and plate up both

meals. Freeze one meal for a later date.

Jams

Making jams, marmalades and chutneys by

microwave is much quicker and cleaner

than using a large pan on the hob. One of

the main advantages is that preserves can

be made in small batches, using fresh or

frozen fruit exactly when it suits you.

Dish size

Always use a very large glass bowl.

DO NOT attempt to use jam pans or

saucepans in your microwave.

Covering

Do not cover preserves whilst cooking.

Sterilising jars

Jam jars can be sterilised by microwave

ready for your jams. Half ll with water and

heat them on HIGH MICROWAVE until

water boils (approx. 3 min. for 2 jars). Empty

and drain upside down on kitchen paper.

The jars should be warm when lled with

jam.

Do not use your microwave to

Sterilise babiesʼ bottles.

Do not seal preserving jars in your

microwave.

Stirring

Keep a wooden spoon handy for stirring the

jams/preserves, but DO NOT leave the

spoon in the oven whilst cooking.

Setting point

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 nger pushes across the top.

Q: Why won’t 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 authorised Service

Centre.

Q: My oven causes interference with my

TV. Is this normal?

A: Some radio, TV, Wi-Fi, cordless

telephone, baby monitor, blue tooth or

other wireless equipment 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 won’t 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.

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 ow pattern in the oven. There are

no microwaves in the air. The oven vents

should never be blocked during cooking.

Q: I can’t set an auto cook program and

‘HOT’ appears in the display. Why?

A: If ‘HOT’ appears in the display window,

the oven temperature is too high from

previous use and an auto program can

not be set. Cooking mode and time may

still be set manually.

Q: Can I use a conventional oven

thermometer in the oven?

A: Only when you are using

grill/oven

cooking modes. The metal in some

thermometers may cause arcing in your

oven and should not be used on

microwave

and

combination

cooking modes.

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

grill/oven

to create

the combination setting. This is normal.

Q: My oven has an odour and

generates smoke when using the

combination, oven and grill function.

Why?

A: After repeated use, it is recommended

to clean the oven and then run the oven

without food. This will burn off any food,

residue or oil which may cause an odour

and/or smoking.
