Important Notice
Your oven is rated 900 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 ‘E’, 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 31-35 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.
*1000 Watts IEC (60705) is achieved by using the Turbo Reheat
pad, see page 19 for details.
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 don’t expect to become a
perfect microwave cook overnight – some of the
methods are very different to those used in
conven tion al cooking.
Home Economists program the ovens especially for
the UK market. The recipes are tested many times
to ensure you achieve successful results at home.

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 detergents or
abrasives is not recommended. Take care
when cleaning around the microwave feed
guide.
3. The outside oven surface should be cleaned
with a damp cloth. Do not allow water to seep
into the ventilation openings.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. It is occasionally necessary to remove the
glass turntable for cleaning. Wash the
turntable in warm soapy water. Do not place in
the dishwasher.
7. 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.
8. A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning.
9. Keep air vents clear 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 could lead to a hazardous
situation.
Care & Cleaning of your Microwave Oven
Maintenance of your oven
1. Service
WHEN YOUR OVEN REQUIRES A SERVICE
call your local Panasonic engineer. You can
look on the web site (www.panasonic.co.uk)
under the “support” option, where a service
dealer locator can be found or alternatively
call our Customer Care Centre on 0844
8443868 who can recommend an engineer. It
is hazardous for anyone other than a
competent person to carry out any service or
repair operation which involves the removal of
a cover which gives protection against
exposure to microwave energy.
2. Door Seals
Do not attempt to tamper with or make any
adjustments or repairs to door, control panel
housing, safety interlock switches or any other
part of the oven. Do not remove outer panel
from oven. The door seals and door seal
areas should always be kept clean – use a
damp cloth.
N.B. The appliance should be inspected for
damage to the door seals and door seal
areas. If these areas are damaged the
appliance should not be operated until it has
been repaired by a service technician trained
by the manufacturer.
3. Oven Light
The oven lamp must be replaced by a service
technician trained by the manufacturer. DO
NOT attempt to remove the outer
casing from the oven.
4. Selected Spares and Accessories
These may be ordered direct; on line at
www.panasonic.co.uk or by telephoning the
Customer Care Centre 0844 8443868. Most
major credit and debit cards accepted. Ensure
you quote the correct model number.
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 the
surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
6
1. Do not operate the oven without the Roller
Ring and Glass Turntable in place.
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 or Auto Program
Jacket Potatoes.
5. If food or a utensil on the glass turntable
touches oven walls, causing the turntable
to stop moving, it will 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 4kg (8lb 4oz),
this includes total weight of food and dish.
7. While cooking by MICROWAVE the
turntable may vibrate. This will not affect
cooking performance.
8. Arcing may occur if the incorrect weight of
food is used or a metal container has been
used accidentally. If this occurs, stop the
machine immediately.
9. Always refer to instructions for correct
accessories to use on all programs. The
glass turntable and roller ring are the only
accessories used for Microwave Cooking.

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.
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 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.
2. Foods low in moisture.
Take care when heating foods low in
moisture, eg bread items, chocolate,
popcorn, biscuits and pastries. These can
easily burn, dry out or catch on fire if
cooked too long. 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, eg. 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
34.
4. Boiled Eggs.
Do not boil eggs in their shell in your
microwave. Raw eggs boiled in their
shells can explode causing injury, 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.
When heating liquids, eg 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:
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.
7. 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.
8. Deep Fat Frying.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your oven.
7
Important Information – Read Carefully
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. Due to
the possibility of ignition, do not leave a
conventional meat thermometer in the
oven when microwaving.
10. Paper, Plastic.
Carefully attend the appliance if paper,
plastic or other combustible materials are
used as containers or for covering. Do not
use wire twist-ties with roasting bags as
arcing will occur.
Do not use re-cycled paper products, eg
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”, ie 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, eg
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.
12. Standing Time.
Standing time refers to the period at the
end of cooking or reheating when food is
left before being eaten, ie. 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 10.
13. 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.
14. Fan Motor Operation.
After using the microwave the fan motor
may rotate for 1 minute 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.
15. Containers.
Before use check that utensils/containers
are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
See pages 13-14.
16. 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.
See page 32.
17. Arcing.
Arcing may occur if a metal container has
been used accidentally or if the incorrect
weight of food is used. 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.
18. Maximum Weight on Turntable.
The maximum weight that can be placed
on the turntable is 4kg (8lb 4oz) (this
includes total weight of food and dish).

Important Information – Read Carefully
9
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.
The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate
which causes FRICTION, ie. 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 1½ -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 when
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.
This is 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 10).
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
10
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.
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.
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.
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.
JACKET POTATOES – Stand 5 mins.
wrapped in aluminium foil.
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 1-2 mins.
PLATED MEALS – Stand for 1-2 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.
11
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.
12
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 3-8ºC
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 conven tional 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 microwave spray
cleaner, sprayed onto a soft cloth,
always wipe the oven dry after
cleaning. Avoid any plastic parts
and door area.
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 espe cially must
be stirred before and during
heating, to avoid eruption. Do
not heat liquids that have
previously been boiled. DO NOT
OVERHEAT.
13
Containers to use
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
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 (½ pt) 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. Do
not use delicate glass which may crack due to the heat from the
food. Do not use lead crystal which may crack or arc.
China and ceramic
Everyday glazed china plates, saucers, bowls, mugs and cups
can be used if they are heat resis tant. Porcelain and ceramic
are also ideal. Fine bone china should only be used for
reheating for short periods, otherwise the change in
tempera ture may crack the dish or craze the finish. Do not use
dishes with a metal rim or pattern. Do not use jugs or mugs
with glued handles, since the glue can melt in a microwave.
14
Plastic
Many plastic containers are designed for microwave use. Only use Tupperware®containers if they
are designed for microwave use. Do not use Melamine – although it is heat resistant it absorbs
microwave energy and scorches. Even if a container is microwave safe, do not use for cooking
foods high in sugar or fat. Foods that require long cooking times e.g. brown rice, should not be
cooked in plastic. Never cook in margarine cartons or yoghurt pots, as these will melt with the heat
from the food. Many plastics that are not heatproof for cooking are suitable for defrosting.
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 –
the microwaves cannot pass through and the food will not heat
evenly – this may also damage your oven. Use wooden kebab
sticks instead of metal skewers.
15
Paper
Plain white absorbent kitchen paper (kitchen towel) can be
used for covering blind pastry cases and for cover ing
bacon to prevent splattering BUT FOR SHORT COOKING
TIMES ONLY. 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 in the
oven. Greaseproof paper can be used to line the base of
dishes and to cover fatty foods e.g. bacon rashers to stop
them splattering. White paper plates can be used for
SHORT RE HEATING TIMES.
Wicker, wood, straw baskets
Do not use these items in your microwave. With continued
use and with prolonged exposure they will crack and could
ignite. Do not use wooden dishes in your microwave.
Cling film
Microwave cling film can 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.
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.
Aluminium foil
Small amounts of smooth aluminium foil can be used to
SHIELD joints of meat during defrosting and cook ing, 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.

Auto Weight Defrost
With this feature you can defrost frozen foods according to the weight. Select the category and
set the weight of the food. The weight can be programmed in pounds and ounces or grams. The
weight starts from the minimum weight for each category.
When using your oven, the glass turntable provided must always be in
position.
DO NOT place food directly onto the turntable except in the case of
Jacket Potatoes or Auto Program Jacket Potatoes.
Foods reheated or cooked by MICROWAVE are normally covered with a
lid or cling film, unless otherwise stated.

Accessory to use:
21
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 category and then enter in the
weight of the food in grams or pounds and ounces using the appropriate pads (See page 20).
Foods should be placed in a suitable dish, whole chickens and joints of meat should be on an
upturned saucer or on a rack. 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 22). 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.

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 eg. 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 23-24 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 23-24 for standing times.

1Check foods during defrosting. Foods vary in their defrosting speed.
2It is not necessary to cover the food.
3Always turn or stir the food especially when the oven “beeps’’. Shield if necessary
(see point 5).
4Minced meat/chops/chicken portions should be broken up or separated as soon as possible
and placed in a single layer.
5Shielding 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.
6Allow 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.
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.

•Select the desired Auto Sensor program, by
pressing the pad. The pad can be pressed
once, twice or three times to select the
programs available.
•Press Start. The food category will be
repeated in the display window until the oven
calculates the cooking time after detecting a
burst of steam. DO NOT open the oven door
until the remaining cooking time appears in
the display window.
This feature allows you to cook or reheat fifteen foods automatically. There is no need to enter
the weight, as these programs use a humidity sensor which will automatically select the correct
Microwave power level and calculate the correct cooking time.
Once the food has been selected and the start pad pressed the food is heated up. As food
begins to get hot, steam is emitted. When the food reaches a certain temperature and begins to
cook, an even greater amount of steam is released. The increase in steam emission is detected
by a humidity sensor in the oven. This acts as a signal for the oven to calculate how much longer
the food needs to cook. The remaining cooking time will appear in the display window after two
beeps.
Whilst the Sensor program is still in the display window the oven door SHOULD NOT BE
OPENED. Wait until the cooking time appears in the window, and then open the door if required,
to stir or turn the food.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For best results the Sensor programs should only be used when the oven
is cold. It is recommended that the oven is allowed to cool between using
the sensor programs, if one or more programs are being used (see note
below). If in a hurry, cook the food manually i.e. select the correct power
level and cooking time. It is not recommended to keep using the Auto
Programs consecutively.

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 26-30.
3. It is essential when using the Auto Sensor Programs to cover the food with pierced cling film or a lid
that is designed to fit the dish. The exceptions to this rule are Jacket Potatoes (see page 28) and for
steamed pudding programs (see page 30). Airtight containers must not be used e.g. sealable plastic
containers.
4. Always choose a container size that is suitable for the quantity of food, ie. do not allow a large
headspace or food may not be cooked correctly.
5. For best results ensure that the oven is cold before using any Sensor program.
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 and piping hot
before serving.
8. Due to the variation in the physical characteristics and water content of chicken available in the
market, it is possible that use of the Auto Sensor Program may result in varying degrees of
cooking. Please ensure that the chicken is thoroughly cooked prior to consumption.
This program is for reheating a chilled
convenience meal that can be stirred.* Foods
must be in a suitable shallow microwaveable
container and have the film pierced. Place on
turntable, press the sensor reheat pad twice.
Press START. Stir after time appears in display
window. Allow to stand for 2 minutes. Ensure
that the food is piping hot, stir before serving.
Note: Large pieces of fish/meat in a thin sauce,
may require longer cooking.
Auto Sensor Reheat programs must ONLY be used for
the foods described below. For perfect results ensure
that the oven is cold before using any sensor program.
This program is for reheating chilled and tinned

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 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 32-41 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 er’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 find 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. Between 3-5 mins. on HIGH power
will reheat an average portion.
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.
Take great care when reheating these items.
See Page 7.
Do not leave unattended.
Do not add extra alcohol.
Milk or formula MUST be shaken thoroughly
before heating and again at the end and
tested carefully before feeding a baby.
See page 32 for details.
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.
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 through reheat time and again at the end.
Casseroles
Stir halfway through and again at the end of
heating.

Points for checking
Always check that food is piping hot after reheating in the microwave. If unsure return to oven. Foods
will still require a STAND TIME, especially if they cannot be stirred. The denser the food the longer the
stand time.
The times given in the charts below are a guideline only, and will vary depending on
STARTING temperature, dish size etc.
Heating category
Your oven is Heating Category E and this is
displayed on the front of your oven door. The
information on this label will assist you in
using new instructions on food packs to
enable you to program the best heating time
in your oven.
*1000 Watts IEC (60705) is achieved by using
the Turbo Reheat pad, see page 19 for
details.
Babies bottles – caution
For 7-8 fl.oz of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat. Heat on HIGH Power for 25-30 secs.
CHECK CAREFULLY
For 3 fl.oz of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat. Heat on HIGH Power for 10-15 secs.
CHECK CAREFULLY
N.B. Liquid at the top of the bottle will be much hotter than at the bottom of the bottle and must be
shaken thoroughly before checking the temperature. When testing the temperature of the milk, squirt a
little onto your inner wrist. The milk droplets on your skin should feel warm, not hot.

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, 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.
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 650 W ovens, however since 1990 oven output powers have been set
by a new standard (IEC). When using other cookbooks, the 900 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 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 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 cooking by placing 600 ml
(1 pt) of boiling water and 1 sliced lemon in a large bowl, cook on SIMMER power 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.
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 several times with
a cocktail stick.
1. Place the rice in a large bowl and add the stock,
paprika and seasoning.
2. Cover, place on glass turntable and cook on
MEDIUM power for 14-15 minutes, until the
rice is tender, stir 2-3 times during cooking. Drain.
3. Cook peppers in 1 tbsp water, covered on HIGH
power for 3 mins.
4. Stir in the pepper, prawns, peas, cockles, mussels,
baby corn, chicken and tomatoes into the rice.
5. Cook on HIGH power for 8 mins. stirring halfway
through cooking.

Guidelines
Defrosted joints
If the meat has previously
been frozen, ensure it is
properly thawed before
cooking by micro wave.
Defrosted joints of meat
must be allowed to STAND
for a minimum of
30 mins. 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
joints that aren’t excessively
fatty.
Standing time
Meat and poultry require a
minimum of
15 mins. STANDING TIME
wrapped in aluminium foil
after cooking by microwave.
Roast meat is always easier
to carve after STANDING
and the meat will continue to
cook during the STAND
TIME.
Bone
Bone tips on legs of lamb
and crown roasts may need
shielding when cooked by
microwave, to prevent
overcooking.
Turning
Joints and poultry should
be turned over halfway
through cooking.
Shielding
Large joints may need
shielding with pieces of
smooth aluminium foil after
half the cooking time to
avoid overcooking on the
outside edges. Turkeys and
large chickens should have
their breast meat, legs and
wings protected. Secure foil
with cocktail sticks and do
not allow foil to touch the
walls of the oven.
Roasting bags
Roasting bags are useful
when split up one side to tent
a joint for roasting by power
and time.
Do not use the metal twists
supplied.
How to roast a joint by
microwave
To roast basic joints of
meat place the joint onto
the rack of a microwave
roasting set and cover with
a dome lid. Alterna tive ly
use a large, shallow dish
and place the joint on an
up turned saucer and cover
with cling film.
How to cook small cuts
of meat by microwave
Some cuts of meat can be
cooked successfully by
micro wave although due
to their short cooking
times and no heat source,
they will not crisp and
brown.
They should always be
cooked on a microwave
rack or upturned saucer to
lift them out of their juices.
Tips
Braised and stewed meat
cooked in a microwave has a
slightly firm texture and
therefore it is essential to
purchase good quality meats.
When cooking a casserole,
place a saucer or small
upturned plate over the meat to
keep it submerged in the juices.
Crispy Bacon - Cover with a
plain piece of kitchen towel to
minimise splatter. Cook on
HIGH power for approx. 45
secs. per rasher, or until desired
crispness is achieved.
