When using recipes in this book always follow metric or imperial
measurements. Do not combine the two. In some recipes the
conversions are not a direct equivalent due to recipe result.
Important Notice
Your oven is rated 1000 Watts (IEC). When using other cookbooks
remember to adjust cooking times accordingly. The symbol above, which
is displayed on your oven door, indicates the heating category for your
oven when cooking or reheating convenience foods.
Your oven is rated ʻEʼ, which is very efficient. 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 on pages 52-58
of this book.
ALWAYS check the progress of the food as it cooks or reheats by simply
opening the door and after checking the progress of the foods press
START to continue the cooking time.
Failure to follow the instructions given in this Cookbook and
Operating Instructions, may affect the recipe result and in
some instances may be dangerous.

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 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 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 COOKERY ADVICE LINE 01344 862108
Home economists will provide friendly guidance on queries relating to recipes and cooking in your
microwave.

5
1. Switch the oven off before cleaning and
unplug at socket if possible.
2. Keep the inside of the oven, door seals and
door seal areas clean. When food splatters
or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, door
seals and door seal areas wipe off with a
damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if
they get very dirty. The use of harsh detergent
or abrasives is not recommended.
3. The roof of the oven has a self-clean
catalytic lining. It is therefore not necessary
to clean the radiant grill element or above the
grill in the roof of the oven.
4. After using CONVECTION, GRILL or
COMBINATION cooking the enamel walls of
the oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth
squeezed in soapy water. Particular care
should be taken to keep the window area
clean particularly after cooking by
CONVECTION, GRILL or COMBINATION.
Stubborn spots inside the oven can be
removed by using a small amount of branded
conventional oven-cleaner applied to a soft
damp cloth. Wipe onto problem spots, leave
for recommended time and then wipe off.
Avoid the microwave feed guide area, the roof
of the oven, and the door. DO NOT SPRAY
DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN.
5. The outside oven surface should be cleaned
with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the
operating parts inside the oven, water should
not be allowed to seep into the ventilation
openings.
6. If the Control Panel becomes dirty, clean with
a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents
or abrasives on Control Panel. When cleaning
the Control Panel, leave the oven door open
to prevent the oven from accidentally turning
on. After cleaning touch STOP/CANCEL Pad
to clear display window.
7. If steam accumulates inside or around the
outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft
cloth. This may occur when the microwave
oven is operated under high humidity
conditions and in no way indicates a
malfunction of the unit or microwave leakage.
8. It is occasionally necessary to remove the
glass turntable for cleaning. Wash the
turntable in warm soapy water. Do not place in
the dishwasher.
9. The roller ring and oven cavity floor should
be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise.
Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven,
particularly the turntable spindle and the area
surrounding this, with mild detergent and hot
water then dry with a clean cloth. The roller
ring may be washed in mild soapy water. After
removing the roller ring from the cavity floor
for cleaning, be sure to replace it in the proper
position.
10.When GRILLING or cooking by
COMBINATION or CONVECTION some
foods may splatter grease onto the enamel
oven walls. If the oven is not cleaned to
eliminate this grease, it can accumulate and
cause the oven to ʻSMOKEʼ during use. These
marks will be more difficult to clean later.
11.Ensure all accessories are kept scrupulously
clean, especially when using microwave or
combination programs.
12.A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.
13.Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp
metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass
since they may scratch the surface, which
may result in shattering of the glass.
14. Keep air vents clean at all times. Check that
no dust or other material is blocking any of the
air vents on the top, bottom or rear of the
oven. If air vents become blocked this could
cause overheating which would affect the
operation of the oven and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
Care & Cleaning of your Microwave Oven -
IMPORTANT
It is essential for the safe operation of the oven that it is kept clean, and wiped out after each
use. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of a surface
that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation

Maintenance of your oven
1. Do not operate the oven without the Roller
Ring and Glass Turntable in place, unless
you are cooking on CONVECTION and wish
to use the Wire or Enamel Shelves.
2. Only use the Glass Turntable specifically
designed for this oven. Do not substitute with
any other Glass Turntable.
3. If Glass Turntable is hot, allow to cool before
cleaning or placing in water.
4. Do not cook directly on Glass Turntable.
Always place food in a microwave safe dish.
The only exception to this is when cooking
Jacket Potatoes on microwave only.
5. If food or utensils on the turntable touch the
oven walls causing the turntable to stop
moving it will then automatically rotate in the
opposite direction. This is normal. Open oven
door, reposition the food and restart.
6. The Glass Turntable can rotate in either
direction. The maximum weight that can be
placed on the turntable is 5 Kg (11lb) this
includes total weight of food and dish. The
maximum weight to be placed on the shelves
is 5 Kg (11lb).
7. While cooking by MICROWAVE or
COMBINATION, turntable may vibrate. This
will not affect cooking performance.
8. The metal accessories provided must ONLY
be used as directed for GRILLING,
CONVECTION and COMBINATION cooking.
Never use them on microwave only. Do not
use if operating the oven with less than 200g
(7oz) of food on a manual Combination
program. FAILURE TO USE ACCESSORIES
CORRECTLY COULD DAMAGE YOUR

Safety
If smoke or a fire occurs in the oven, press
Stop/Cancel pad and leave the door closed in
order to stifle any flames.
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 first 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.
Important.
If the recommended cooking times are exceeded
the food will be spoiled and in extreme
circumstances could catch fire and possibly
damage the interior of the oven.
1. Small Quantities of Food.
Take care when heating small quantities of
food as these can easily burn, dry out or
catch fire if cooked too long. Always set short
cooking times and check the food frequently.
NEVER OPERATE THE OVEN WITHOUT
FOOD INSIDE ON MICROWAVE OR
COMBINATION MODE INVOLVING
MICROWAVE.
2. Foods Low in Moisture.
Take care when heating foods low in
moisture, eg, bread items, chocolate, biscuits
and pastries. These can easily burn, dry out ,
catch fire or damage your oven if cooked too
long. We do not recommend heating foods
low in moisture such as popcorn or
poppodums.
This oven has been developed for food use.
We do not recommend that it is used for
heating non-food items such as wheat bags
or hot water bottles.
3. Christmas Pudding.
Christmas puddings and other foods high in
fats or sugar, e.g. jam, mince pies, must not
be over heated. These foods must never be
left unattended as with over cooking these
foods can ignite. See page 55-56.
4. Boiled Eggs.
Eggs in their shell and whole hard- boiled
eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode even after
microwave heating has ended.
5. Foods with Skins.
Potatoes, apples, egg yolk, whole
vegetables and sausages are examples of
food with non porous skins. These must be
pierced using a fork before cooking to
prevent bursting.
6. Liquids.
Liquids and other foods must not be heated
in sealed containers since they are liable to
explode.
When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and
beverages in your microwave oven, over
heating 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:
a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
b) Do not overheat.
c) Stir the liquid before placing the container in
the oven and again halfway through the
heating time.
d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a
short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container.
e) Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care
should be taken when handling the container.
7. Lids.
Always remove the lids of jars and containers
and takeaway food containers before you
microwave them. If you donʼt then steam and
pressure might build up inside and cause an
explosion even after the microwave cooking
has stopped.
Important Information – Read Carefully
9
8. Deep Fat Frying.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.
9. 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.
10. 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 as arcing will
occur.
Do not use re-cycled paper products, e.g.
Kitchen roll unless they say they are
specifically designed for use in a microwave
oven. These products contain impurities
which may cause sparks and/or fires when
used.
11. 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 manufacturerʼs
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.
Important Information – Read Carefully
10
13. 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. See page 12. Standing time is
particularly important for certain foods such
as whole chicken. We recommend a standing
time of 10 mins upon completion of cooking a
whole chicken.
14. 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 and also the areas around the
microwave feed guide situated on the right
hand side of the cavity wall. The oven should
be unplugged when cleaning.
15. Grilling.
The oven will only operate on the GRILL
function with the door closed.
16. 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.
17. Utensils.
Before use check that utensils/ containers are
suitable for use in microwave ovens. See
pages 14 and 15.
18. 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 to
avoid burns. See page 50.
19. Arcing.
Arcing may occur if a metal container has
been used incorrectly, if the incorrect weight
of food is used, or if the accessories have
been damaged. Arcing is when blue flashes
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 OR
CONVECTION ONLY.

Important Information – Read Carefully
11
Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with
RADAR in World War II. 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.
Microwaving Principles
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 1
1⁄2-2 inches (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.
In a microwave oven, electricity is converted into microwaves
by the MAGNETRON.
Reflection
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 notes
How microwaves cook food
The dish used to cook or reheat the food will get warm during cooking, as the heat conducts from the
food. Even in micro waving, oven gloves are required!
MICROWAVES CANNOT PASS THROUGH METAL AND THERE FORE METAL COOKING
UTEN SILS CAN NEVER BE USED IN A MICROWAVE, FOR COOKING ON MICROWAVE ONLY
Foods Not Suitable for Cooking by Microwave Only
Yorkshire Puddings, Souffles, Double Crust Pastry Pies.
Because these foods rely on dry external heat to cook correctly, do not attempt to cook by micro wave.
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 12).
Boiled Eggs
Do not boil eggs in your microwave. Raw eggs boiled
in their shells can explode and cause serious injury
13 Amp fused socket
Cling film
Cling film 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 film from a dish as the
build-up of steam will be very hot. Always purchase cling film that states on the
packet “suitable for microwave cooking” and use as a covering only. Do not line
dishes with cling film. Do not cover foods when cooking by COMBINATION,
CONVECTION or GRILL.
12
General Guidelines
Moisture content
Many fresh foods e.g. veget ables 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 further during storage and cooking times
may differ from ingredients freshly purchased. It is important to note that
moisture content may vary in meat, poultry and fish.
Standing time
Dense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, require a STANDING
TIME (inside or outside of the oven) after cook ing, to allow heat to finish
con ducting to cook the centre completely.
•MEAT JOINTS – Stand 15 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil.
•WHOLE CHICKEN - Stand 10 mins.
•JACKET POTATOES – Stand 5 mins. wrapped in aluminium foil after cooking by microwave only.
It is not necessary to stand jacket potatoes cooked in COMBINATION MODE.
•LIGHT CAKES – Stand 5 mins. before removing from dish.
•RICH DENSE CAKES – Stand 15-20 mins.
•FISH – Stand 2-3 mins.
•EGG DISHES – Stand 1-2 mins.
•PRECOOKED CONVENIENCE FOODS – Stand for 2-3 mins.
•PLATED MEALS – Stand for 2-3 mins.
•VEGETABLES – Boiled potatoes benefit from standing 1-2 mins., however most other types of
vegetables can be served immediately.
•If food is not cooked after standing time, return to oven and cook for additional time.
•DEFROSTING – It is essential to allow standing time to com plete the process. This can vary from
5 mins. e.g. raspberries, to up to 1 hour for a joint of meat.
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 es cape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages
etc., will all need to be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL
EGGS IN THEIR SHELLS.
13
Dish size
Follow the dish sizes
given in the recipes,
as these affect the
cook ing and reheating
times. A quan tity 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 film or
a self-fitting lid. Cover
fish, vegetables,
cas seroles, soups. Do
not cover cakes,
sauces, jacket
potatoes, pastry items.
Please refer to cooking
charts and recipes for
more infomation.
Arranging
Individual foods e.g.
chicken portions or
chops, should be
placed on a dish so
that the thicker parts
are to the outside.
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 heating.after
Water espe cially 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 after a
recommended cooking
time, even if an AUTO
PROGRAM has been
used (just as you
would check food
cooked in a
conven tional oven).
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 on to a soft
cloth. Always wipe the
oven dry after
cleaning. Avoid any
plastic parts, the roof
of the oven and door
area. Customers
should not spray
directly into the cavity.
See page 5, point 4
General Guidelines

Containers to use
When unsure that a cooking con tainer
is suitable for use in your microwave,
check by the follow ing test:
1. Fill a microwave safe
measur ing jug with 300ml (1⁄2pt)
cold water.
2. Place it on the turntable along side
the dish to be tested. If the dish
you are testing is a large dish, then
stand the measur ing jug on top of
the empty dish.
3. Heat on HIGH power for
1 minute.
Result
If the dish is suitable for micro waving,
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 obvious ly absorbing microwave
energy.
N.B. This test does not apply to plastic
or metal based con tainers e.g. Le
Creuset®style dishes, which should not
be used as they are cast iron covered
with enamel.
Oven glass
Everyday glass that is heat
resistant e.g. Pyrex®, is ideal
for Microwave, Convection or
Combination cooking. DO
NOT USE FOR GRILLING.
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
resis tant. 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 CONVECTION
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 con tai ners
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 and CONVECTION
modes and may be used with care during
certain COMBINATION cooking as long as they
are not damaged or dented.
Quick Check Guide to Cooking Utensils
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.
15
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 CONVECTION 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. covering blind pastry cases and
for cover ing 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 fibres.
If you are using branded re-cycled kitchen towel, check first that it
is recommended for microwave use. Do not use waxed or plastic
coated cups or plates as the finish may melt. Greaseproof paper
can be used to line the base of dishes and to cover fatty foods
e.g. bacon rashers, to stop splattering. White paper plates can be
used for SHORT RE HEATING TIMES, on MICROWAVE only.
Wicker, wood, straw baskets
Dishes will crack and could ignite.
Do not use wooden dishes in your microwave.
DO NOT USE ON ANY COOKING MODE.
Cling film
Microwave cling film 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 film being in direct
contact with the food eg. Do not line dishes with cling film. DO
NOT USE ON ANY OTHER COOKING MODE.
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.
Aluminium foil
Small amounts of smooth aluminium foil can be used to SHIELD
joints of meat during defrosting and cook ing by Microwave, as the
microwaves cannot pass through the foil, this prevents the parts
shielded from overcook ing or over de frost ing. 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
CONVECTION cooking.

This feature allows you to defrost minced meat, chops, chicken portions, meat joints and bread.
The CHAOS defrost pad should be pressed to select the correct defrost category and then enter in
the weight of the food in grams or pounds and ounces using the appropriate pads (See page 19).
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 (See page 21). On hearing the first beep you should TURN and SHIELD (if possible).
On the second beep you should turn the food or break it up.
Auto Weight Defrost Programs
CATEGORY 1 BREAD
The Bread Program is suitable for defrosting small items e.g. rolls, buns and slices of bread which are
required for immediate use. Small items may feel warm immediately 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 halfway during defrosting. THIS PROGRAM IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CREAM CAKES OR
DESSERTS
e.g. cheesecake. See page 24 for standing times.
CATEGORY 2 MEAT ITEMS (MINCE/CHOPS/CHICKEN PORTIONS)
It is necessary for mince to be broken up frequently during defrosting and this is best carried out in a
large shallow dish. Chops and chicken portions should be arranged in a single layer and turned
frequently. See pages 22-24 for standing times.
CATEGORY 3 MEAT JOINTS/WHOLE CHICKENS
Meat joints and chickens will require shielding during defrosting especially if they are particularly fatty
pieces. This is to prevent over defrosting on the outside edges. Smooth foil secured with cocktail
sticks should be used. DO NOT ALLOW THE FOIL TO TOUCH THE WALLS OF THE OVEN. Back fat
of joints, legs, wings and breast bones need shielding (see photograph above). Standing time of at
least 1 hour should be allowed (rolled joints may require longer) before cooking to ensure the centre
is fully defrosted. See pages 22-23 for standing times.

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 “beepsʼʼ. 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 first, 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 hour for joints of meat
and whole chickens)
By selecting the DEFROST power level from the
microwave power pad, 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 and
during the standing stages there is not any
microwave power in the oven, although the light
will remain on and the turntable will turn. The
automatic stand times ensure a more even
defrost but it is still necessary to allow for
standing time before use. 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.
Defrosting Guidelines
Turn dense foods and meat 2/3 times
during defrosting.
TIPS
Separate chops and small items e.g.
bread slices where possible.
Chickens and joints of meat will require
shielding during defrosting.
Break up small items e.g. minced meat,
frequently during defrosting.

CAUTIONS:
THE ACCESSORIES AND SURROUNDING OVEN WILL GET VERY HOT. USE OVEN
GLOVES.
The radiant Grill system on the oven gives efficient cooking for a wide variety of foods e.g. chops,
sausages, steak, toast, oven chips etc.
Always preheat the grill before use.
The metal tray must be on the glass turntable when preheating, unless you are using the enamel
shelf.
Note: The Grill will only operate with the oven door closed, and there is no microwave power on the
GRILL only program.
When using the grill to cook foods, once the grill is preheated 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 27).
The Grill has three variable settings, Grill 1 (High), Grill 2 (Medium) and Grill 3 (Low). Grill 1 will be the
hottest.
Grilling times

Place food on Splash Guard in the Metal Tray on
the High Wire Rack on Turntable.
The splash guard will allow fat to drip through
into the Metal Tray which will prevent excess
splatter and smoke when grilling steaks, chops
and other fatty foods.
Most foods require turning halfway during cook-
ing. When turning food, open oven door and
CAREFULLY remove the Metal Tray, Splash
Guard and High Wire Rack or enamel shelf by
holding the accessories firmly. Use oven gloves
when removing accessories as they will be very
hot, and so will the roof and walls of the oven.
After turning, return food to the oven, close door
and press 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.
Grilling
When grilling foods the Glass Turntable should be in position, with the High Wire Rack and the
Metal Tray on top. The splash guard is placed inside the metal tray when cooking fatty foods.
Or the enamel shelf can be used for grilling large
quantities of food or to brown off a dish of food, but we do not recommend using this for fatty
foods that can splatter.
Oven accessories to use
1. There is no microwave power on the GRILL only program.
2. Use the accessories provided, as explained above.
3. The Grill will only operate with the oven door closed.
4. 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, muffins and teacakes etc.
5. GRILL 2 and GRILL 3 are used for more delicate foods or those that require a longer grill time
e.g. fish or chicken portions.
6. ALWAYS PREHEAT THE GRILL WITH THE METAL TRAY ON GLASS TURNTABLE, UNLESS
YOU ARE USING THE ENAMEL SHELF.
7. NEVER COVER THE FOOD WHEN GRILLING.
8. ALWAYS USE OVEN GLOVES WHEN REMOVING THE FOOD AND ACCESSORIES AFTER
GRILLING AS THE OVEN AND ACCESSORIES WILL BE VERY HOT.
9. After Grilling it is important that the Grill accessories are removed for cleaning before reuse and
that the oven walls and floor are wiped with a cloth squeezed in hot soapy water to remove any
grease. DO NOT PUT ACCESSORIES IN DISH WASHER.

Convection Cooking
Your Dimension 4 Combination Oven can be used as a conventional oven using the
CONVECTION mode which incorporates a heating element with a fan.
Convection cooking is ideal for all cakes, pastries, yorkshire puddings and roast meats.
You can cook on one or two levels when using convection cooking. See individual recipes and
guidelines on page 29 and 30 for recommended accessories to use.
For best results always place food in a preheated oven. If you wish to cook on the turntable, the metal
tray must be on top of the glass turntable when preheating and cooking. If you wish to use the shelves
you can preheat with or without the shelves in position and the glass turntable and roller ring should
be removed.

Convection Cooking
One level cooking.
Roasting Meat: Glass Turntable, Metal Tray,
Splash Guard and Low Rack.
Baking: Glass Turntable, Metal Tray, Low Rack.
Oven accessories to use
If cooking on one level, you can use one of the shelves on the lower level and the glass turntable and
roller ring should be removed, or you can use the round metal tray on top of the glass turntable.
Guidelines
When using the oven as a CONVECTION oven, there is NO MICROWAVE POWER, i.e. the oven
is operating as a conventional oven and you can use all your standard metal baking tins and
ovenware.
It is possible to cook on one or two levels when using convection cooking.
If using the turntable the food is then placed on the Low Rack or directly onto the Metal Tray. When
cooking meat or other fatty foods ensure that the Splash Guard is also in position. Follow your
individual recipe guidelines.
If using a shelf, place on the lower level. You can use the enamel shelf as a baking dish for roasting
meat or potatoes, and the wire shelf for baking Swiss rolls or large dishes of food, that can not fit on
the turntable. The glass turntable and roller ring should be removed.
Roasting Meat / Potatoes: Enamel Shelf on
Lower Level.
Baking: Wire Shelf on Lower Level.
30
Two level cooking
When cooking on two levels use both the shelves supplied, with the enamel shelf on the lower level
and the wire shelf on the upper level. The glass turntable and roller ring should be removed.
Depending on the recipe, you can preheat with or without the shelves in position. See individual
recipes for details.
The shelves are ideal for batch baking and when cooking in a large dish that will not turn on the
turntable.
Ensure that the shelves are inserted correctly, and are secure before use.
Do not place a dish of food weighing more than 5Kg (11 lb) on each shelf.
ALWAYS USE OVEN GLOVES WHEN REMOVING THE FOOD AND ACCESSORIES AFTER
COOKING AS THE OVEN & ACCESSORIES WILL BE VERY HOT.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU HOLD THE DISH AND/OR SHELF FIRMLY WHEN YOU ARE REMOVING
THEM FROM THE OVEN.

Guideline to Oven Temperatures
For best results always place food in a preheated oven.
Donʼt forget that for ease of programming of the most commonly used temperatures, your oven will
start at 150°C and count up in 10°C stages to 250°C, then back to 40°C, 100°C and 110°C etc.
Food is generally cooked UNCOVERED - unless it is a casserole or you wish to use roasting bags for
joints. There is no pre-heat at 40°C.

TURBO-BAKE Cooking
The oven can be programmed to cook or reheat food by the grill and the convection oven working
simultaneously, to give foods that extra crispness and colour. This is known as TURBO-BAKE and can
often reduce traditional oven cooking times.
ALWAYS PREHEAT BEFORE USE.
The Metal Tray must be on the Glass Turntable when preheating, unless you are using the enamel
shelf on the lower level. If using enamel shelf, remove glass turntable and roller ring.

Start
Combination
Grill 1-2-3
Micro Power
COMBINATION cooking is ideal for many foods.
The microwave power cooks them quickly, whilst
the oven, grill or both gives the traditional
browning and crispness.
All this happens simultaneously resulting in most
foods being cooked in 1/2-2/3 of the conventional
cooking time.
There is no need to preheat on COMBINATION
programs, EXCEPT when cooking pastry and
using a COMBINATION program of Grill and
Microwave.
It is possible to use smooth seamed metal tins
and foil containers on COMBINATION but they
must be placed directly onto the metal tray on the
glass turntable. They must not be placed directly
onto the Low Rack, or arcing will occur.
If you experience arcing, which is when you see
blue sparks or hear crackling noises, the metal
container is unsuitable or you have insufficient
food in the oven. You should stop the program
immediately and change the container or
re-program to CONVECTION only.
To cook successfully by COMBINATION you
should always use a minimum of 200 g (7oz)
food. Small quantities should be cooked by
CONVECTION, GRILL or TURBO-BAKE.

Containers to useCONTAINERS TO USE
DO NOT use plastic MICROWAVE containers on Combination Programs (unless suitable for combina-
tion cooking). Dishes must be able to withstand the heat of the top grill - heatproof glass e.g. Pyrex®
or ceramic are ideal. But do not put dishes on the High Wire Rack directly under the grill, use the Low
Rack.
Combination Cooking
Combination 1. Convection and Microwave
This is the most popular combination mode combining convection heat with microwave power.
Casseroles, chicken, jacket potatoes and pastries are very successful using this combination.
Unsuitable foods are those which contain whisked eggs, meringues, rich fruit cakes, biscuits and
yorkshire puddings.
It is not necessary to preheat except when cooking pastry dishes, to achieve a better result. For pastry
dishes preheat oven to 210°C on Convection so that the oven is hot, and then select the desired

less
more
This feature allows you to cook or reheat foods without entering the weight. The built-in sensor
measures the humidity of the food and calculates the recommended microwave power level and/or
combination setting together with a suggested cooking time. To allow for some variations that occur in
food, check that food is thoroughly cooked and piping hot before serving. Please check carefully and
adjust the cooking time if required, as would be the case with a conventional cooking appliance.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. If you select an Auto Sensor program directly after plugging in the oven an initial warm up period
will automatically count down in the display window, after which the sensor programs may be
operated.
2. The Sensor Programs cannot be used when the oven is hot. If “HOT” appears in the display
window, when trying to set a Sensor program, do not press Stop/Cancel. A fan will automatically
operate to cool the oven within 10-15 minutes, as long as the word “HOT” is left in the display,
otherwise cooling may take longer. If in a hurry, cook the food manually, i.e. select the correct power
level and cooking time.

Guidelines for Use
For the auto sensor programs it is not necessary to enter the weight of the food. They must ONLY be
used for the foods described.
1. Only cook foods within the weight ranges described (see table below).
2. Only use the accessories as indicated on pages 44-46.
3. It is essential when using the Auto Sensor Programs, which use microwave only, to cover the food
as described in the instructions on pages 44-46.
4. DO NOT cover food on Sensor Combi programs, as they use a Combination of MICROWAVE and
CONVECTION oven and/or GRILL so covering would prevent the food browning. The heat of the
grill will also melt any plastic covering.
5. Always choose a container size that is suitable for the quantity of food i.e. do not allow too large a
headspace or the food may not be cooked correctly.
6. Most foods benefit from a STANDING time after cooking on an Auto Program, to allow heat to
continue conducting to the centre.
7. To allow for some variations that occur in food, check that food is thoroughly cooked before serving.

Minimum/Maximum Weights to use on Auto Weight Programs
• Press the Auto
weight program
pad to select the
desired program.
• Press to select
grams or pounds
and ounces.
• Enter the weight
by pressing the
more and less
pads.
• Press Start.
This feature allows you to cook foods by setting the weight. The oven determines the Microwave
power level and/or Combination setting, then gives a cooking time; this cooking time has been
developed following extensive testing by our Home Economists in our development kitchen. Select the
category of food and enter the weight. The weight can be entered in grams or pounds and ounces. To
allow for some variations that occur in food, check that food is thoroughly cooked and piping hot
before serving. This is of particular importance for food items such as poultry, which can vary
considerably in water and fat content which may influence the cooking result. You cannot adjust auto
program cooking times. We recommend a standing time of 10 minutes upon completion of cooking a
whole chicken.

Guidelines for Use
The Auto Weight Programs must ONLY be used for foods described.
1. Only cook foods within the weight ranges described below.
2. Always weigh the food rather than relying on the package weight information.
3. Only use the accessories as indicated on pages 48-49.
4. Do NOT cover food, as the programs use a combination of Microwave and Grill and/or Convection,
and it will prevent the food from browning. The heat of the grill and/or oven will also melt any
plastic covering.
5. Most foods benefit from a STANDING time after cooking on an Auto Program, to allow heat to
continue conducting to the centre. We recommend a standing time of 10 minutes upon completion
of cooking a whole chicken.
6. To allow for some variations that occur in food, check that food is thoroughly cooked and piping hot
before serving.

Cooking and Reheating Guidelines
Most foods reheat very quickly in your oven by power. Meals can be brought back to servingHIGH
temperature in just minutes and will taste freshly cooked and NOT leftover. 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 52-72 show you the best way to cook or reheat your favourite foods. The best
method depends on the type of food.
Remember when cooking or reheating any food that it should be stirred or turned wherever possible.
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 prepa ra tion
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 manufac tur erʼs 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 find the equivalent food in the chart then choose a similar type and size listed and adjust
the cooking time if necessary.
Plated meals
Everyoneʼs 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.
Between 7-8 mins. on MEDIUM power will reheat
an average portion.
Canned foods
Remove foods from can and place in a suitable
dish before 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.

Increasing and Decreasing Recipes
Increasing recipes
• To increase a recipe from 4 to 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 mins. per
lb/450g.
• Always check the recipe during cooking.
• When increasing the ingredients to 6
servings, add an extra one third of the original
cooking time, ie. 30 mins. on MEDIUM power
for 4 servings will become 40 mins. on
MEDIUM power for 6 servings.
• When doubling a recipe from 4 to 8 add on
half the original cooking time, ie. 30 mins. on
MEDIUM power for 4 servings will become 45
mins. 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, ie. 30 mins. on MEDIUM power for 4
servings will become 15-20 mins. on
MEDIUM power for 2 servings.

Mince pies - CAUTION
REMEMBER even if the pastry is cold to the touch, the filling 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 filling. Check the temperature of the filling before consuming to avoid burning your
mouth.
Christmas puddings and liquids - CAUTION
Take great care when reheating these items. See Page 8 and 56.
Do not leave unattended.
Do not add extra alcohol.
Babiesʼ bottles - CAUTION
Milk or formula MUST be shaken thoroughly before heating and again at the end and tested carefully
before feeding a baby.
See page 52 for details.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE YOUR MICROWAVE TO STERILISE BABIESʼ
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 and Decreasing Recipes
Increasing recipes
• To increase a recipe from 4 to 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 mins. per lb.
• 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 mins. on MEDIUM power
for 4 servings will become 40 mins. on
MEDIUM power for 6 servings.
• When doubling a recipe from 4 to 8 add on
half the original cooking time, i.e. 30 mins. on
MEDIUM power for 4 servings will become 45
mins. 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 mins. on MEDIUM power for 4
servings will become 15-20 mins. on MEDIUM
power for 2 servings.
Using Recipes from Other Books
The best way to convert a family favourite dish is
to find a similar recipe in a cookery book to give
you a guide to the correct method and
timings to use.
Many cookbooks refer to 650W ovens, however
since 1990 oven output powers have been set by
a new standard (IEC). 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.
Cooking for One
• 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 flavours.
• When cooking for one it often makes sense to
cook for two and plate up both meals. Freeze
one meal for a later date.

Fish
Arranging
Thin fillets of fish i.e. plaice,
should be rolled up prior to
cooking to avoid overcooking
on the thinner outside edge
and tail.
Fish steaks should be
arranged in a circle, thicker
part to the outside. Cover with
cling film or lid.
Liquid
Fresh fish should always be
sprinkled with 30 ml (2 tbsp)
of lemon juice, white wine or
water.
When cooking Frozen fish,
add liquid as above for even
cooking.
Do not sprinkle salt onto fish
before cooking as this may
make the fish dry.
Noise
During cooking, popping
sounds may be heard. This is
due to moisture trapped
between the flesh, particularly
with oily fish such as salmon
and mackerel. This can be
minimised when cooking if the
skin and flesh is pierced sev-
eral times with a cocktail stick.
Fish cooks very well by micro -
wave as it stays moist and the
lingering fish smells left in
conventional ovens are
avoided.
When is fish cooked?
Fish is cooked when it flakes
easily and becomes opaque.
For fish with a strong odour,
eliminate the smell after cook-
ing by placing 600 ml (1 pt) of
boiling water and 1 sliced
lemon in a large bowl, cook
on SIMMER for 20 mins.
Wipe out oven with a dry
cloth.
Whole fish
If cooking 2 whole fish
together, they should be
arranged head to tail for even
cooking.
Large whole fish must have
the tail and head shielded
halfway through cooking with
smooth pieces of tin foil
secured with cocktail sticks.

Meat and Poultry
Defrosted joints
If the meat has previously been frozen, ensure
it is properly thawed before cooking. Defrosted
joints of meat must be allowed to STAND for up
to an hour before cooking to ensure the centre
is fully defrosted.
Fat
Large amounts of fat absorb microwave energy
and can cause the meat next to it to overcook.
Always choose meat that isnʼt excessively fatty.
Braised and stewed meat cooked in a
microwave has a slightly firm texture and
therefore it is essential to purchase good quality
meats.
Turning
Joints and poultry should be turned over
halfway through cooking.
Standing time
Meat and poultry joints require a minimum of
10-15 mins. standing time. The meat/poultry will
continue to cook through during this standing
time.
Roasting bags
Roasting bags are useful when split up one side
to tent a joint for roasting by microwave and
time. Do not use the metal twists supplied when
operating with microwave.

Vegetables and Vegetarian
• Root vegetables. i.e.
carrots, swede, should be
cut into slices, strips or
cubes.
• Do not mix fresh and
frozen vegetables as the
cooking times may be dif-
ferent.
• Cabbage should be
shredded and cooked by
power and time.
• Fresh vegetables require
45 ml (3 tbsp) of water.
• Potatoes may be cooked
in their own or with other
root vegetables only.
• Never add salt to
vegetables before
microwaving. Remember
the flavour of microwaved
vegetables is much better
than boiled.
• Always cook vegetables in
a dish that is a suitable
size. Use flat dishes not
basins. Always cover with
microwave cling film or a
lid.
• Certain vegetables i.e.
broccoli and asparagus,
should be arranged so that
the tips are in the centre of
the dish, as these require
less cooking.
• Whole cauliflower should
be cooked upside down on
MEDIUM power for
10 mins. approx. with 90
ml (6 tbsp) water.
Jacket Potatoes - Cooking by microwave only

Questions and Answers
Building-in Your Oven
QMy microwave oven causes interference
with my TV, is this normal?
ASome 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, hair dryers, etc. It
does not indicate a problem with your oven.
QSometimes warm air comes from the oven
vents. Why?
AThe 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 isnʼt an
airtight seal to the air therefore steam can
escape. There are no microwaves in the air,
or steam. The oven vents should never be
blocked during cooking.
QMy oven has an odour and generates
smoke when using the CONVECTION,
COMBINATION and GRILL function. Why?
AIt is essential that your oven is wiped out
regularly particularly after cooking by
COMBINATION or GRILL. Any fat and
grease that builds up will begin to smoke if
not cleaned.
1. In case of fitting into an oven housing, please use Panasonicʼs Trim Kit
NN-TKA80W - White
NN-TKA80M - Metallic Silver
2. Microwave ovens should not be built into a unit a top front venting conventionaldirectly above
cooker. This will invalidate your one year guarantee.
3. A microwave which is built in must be more than 850 mm above floor level. Read Trim-Kit
instructions carefully before installation.
It is recommended that the microwave oven is placed below a conventional oven to avoid heat
damage to the fascia of the microwave.
