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 60-77 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.

Welcome to Panasonic Microwave Cooking

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 also tested many times to ensure

you achieve successful results at home.

We hope you enjoy using your new oven but

should you require any further help or

explanation, phone our:

COOKERY ADVICE LINE 01344 862108

(open 4 days a week, 9:00-14:00)

Home economists will provide friendly

guidance on queries relating to recipes and

cooking in your microwave. Alternatively write

off at wall socket.

7. Before Use

Before using CONVECTION,

COMBINATION or GRILL function for the

first time operate the oven without food

and accessories on CONVECTION 250 °C

for 5 mins. This will allow the oil that is

used for rust protection to be burned off.

This is the only time that the oven is

operated completely empty.

CAUTION: Grill element and oven will be

hot.

DO NOT OPERATE THE OVEN EMPTY apart

from point 7 above.

The appliance must not be operated by

Microwave or Combination including microwave

WITHOUT FOOD IN THE OVEN. Operation

when empty will damage the appliance.

8. WARNING: When the appliance is operated

in the COMBINATION mode, Children should

only use the oven under adult supervision

due to the temperatures generated.

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 back of the oven has a self-clean

catalytic lining. It is therefore not

necessary to clean this area.

4. After using CONVECTION, GRILL or

COMBINATION cooking the 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

sprayed onto a soft damp cloth. Wipe onto

problem spots, leave for recommended

time and then wipe off. DO NOT SPRAY

DIRECTLY INSIDE THE OVEN.

5. 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.

6. The outside oven surface should be

cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent

damage to the operating parts inside the

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.

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 OR

COMBINATION MODE INVOLVING

MICROWAVE

2. Foods Low in Moisture.

Take care when heating foods low in

moisture, e.g. bread items, chocolate,

biscuits and pastries. These can easily

burn, dry out or catch on fire 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.

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, 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.

e. Microwave heating of beverages can

result in delayed eruptive boiling,

therefore care should be taken when

handling the container.

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. The oven should be

unplugged when cleaning. The catalytic

lining at the back does not need to be

cleaned.

14. Grilling.

The oven will only operate on the GRILL

function with the door closed.

15. 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.

16. Containers.

Before use check that utensils/containers

are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

17. Babies Bottles and Food Jars.

When reheating babies bottles always

remove top and teat. Liquid at the top of

the bottle will be much hotter than that at

the bottom and must be shaken thoroughly

before checking the temperature. The lid

must also be removed from babies food

jars, the contents must also be stirred or

shaken before the temperature is checked.

This should be carried out before

consumption in order to avoid burns.

18. 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

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 car

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

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.

How Microwaves cook food

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.

Oven cavity

Ceramic Plate

Stirrer Motor

Waveguide

Microwave Stirrer

Magnetron

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 14).

Bottom Feeding Technology

Please note that this product uses bottom

feeding technology for microwave distribution

which differs from traditional turntable side

feeding methods and creates more useable

space for a variety of different sized dishes.

This microwave feeding style can give a

difference in heating times (in microwave

mode) when compared against side feeding

appliances. This is quite normal and should not

cause any concern. Please refer to the

reheating and cooking charts on pages 61-77.

Boiled Eggs

Do not boil eggs in your microwave. Raw

eggs boiled in their shells can explode and

cause serious injury

Important Notes

General Guidelines

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 through the food.

•Meat Joints – Stand 15 mins. wrapped in

aluminium foil.

•Jacket Potatoes – Stand 5 mins. wrapped

in aluminium foil when cooked 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.

•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.

If food is not cooked after STANDING

TIME, return to oven and cook for

additional time.

Piercing

The skin or membrane on some foods will

cause steam to build up during cooking. These

foods must be pierced or a strip of skin should

be peeled off before cooking to allow the steam

to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages

etc, will all need to be pierced before cooking.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIR

SHELLS.

Moisture Content

Many fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit,

vary in 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. Do not cover foods when

cooking by COMBINATION, CONVECTION or

GRILL.

General Guidelines

Dish Size

Follow the dish sizes given in the recipes, as

these affect the cooking and reheating times. A

quantity of food spread in a bigger dish cooks

and reheats more quickly.

Shape

Even shapes cook evenly.

Arranging

Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops,

should be placed on a dish so that the thicker

parts are to the outside.

Quantity

Small quantities cook faster than large

quantities, also small meals will reheat more

quickly than large portions.

Density

Porous airy foods heat more quickly than

dense heavy foods.

Spacing

Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced

apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other

Ingredients

Foods containing fat, sugar or salt heat up very

quickly. The filling may be much hotter than the

pastry. Take care when eating. Do not overheat

even if the pastry does not appear to be very

hot.

General Guidelines

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 5-8ºC before

cooking.

Covering

Cover foods with microwave cling film or a

self-fitting lid. Cover fish, vegetables,

casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes,

sauces, jacket potatoes, pastry items. Please

refer to cooking charts and recipes for more

infomation.

General Guidelines

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 oven cleaner,

sprayed onto a soft cloth. Always wipe the oven

dry after cleaning. Avoid any plastic parts and

door area. The catalylic lining at the back of the

oven is self cleaning.

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. Stir before

serving.

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.

Containers to use

1. Fill a microwave safe measur ing jug with

300ml (½pt) cold water.

2. Place it on the base of the oven along side

the dish to be tested. If the dish you are

testing is a large dish, then stand the

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.

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.

Oven Glass

Everyday glass that is heat resistant e.g. Glass,

is ideal for Microwave, Convection or

Combination cooking. Do not use delicate glass

or lead crystal which may crack or arc.

When unsure that a cooking con tainer is

suitable for use in your microwave, check by

the follow ing test:

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.

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.

Containers to use





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.

Auto Weight Defrost - Chaos 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 starts from the minimum weight for each category.

• Set the weight

of the food by

using the

Time/Weight

Dial.

• Press Start Button. • Turn the Auto

Menu/

Temperature dial

clockwise select

the desired

program.

• Press the

Chaos

Defrost Pad.

StartStart

This feature allows you to defrost minced meat,

chops, chicken portions, meat joints and bread.

The CHAOS defrost pad and then the Auto

Menu/Temperature Dial should be turned to

select the correct defrost category and then

enter in the weight of the food in grams (see

page 25).

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

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.

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

1st Beep 1st Beep

Turn or Shield

2nd Beep

Turn or break up

Turn or Shield

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)

TIPS:

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.

Category 2 Meat iteas

(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.

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 page 26). Standing time of at

least 1 hour should be allowed (rolled joints

may require longer) before cooking to ensure

the centre is fully defrosted.

Auto Weight Defrost Programs

CHAOS

DEFROST

Defrosting Guidelines

Turn dense foods and meat 2/3 times

during defrosting.

Break up small items e.g. minced meat,

frequently during defrosting.

Defrosting Guidelines

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.

During the standing stages there is not any

microwave power in the oven, although the

light will remain on.

The automatic stand times ensure a more

even defrost but it is still necessary to allow for

standing 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.

Separate chops and small items e.g.

bread slices where possible.

Chickens and joints of meat will require

shielding during defrosting.

CAUTIONS:

THE ACCESSORIES AND THE SURROUNDING OVEN WILL GET VERY HOT. USE OVEN

GLOVES.

Your Combination Oven can be used as a conventional oven using the CONVECTION mode

which incorporates a heating element with a fan.

For best results always place food in a preheated oven. The grill will come on when the oven is

preheating.

You can cook in three ways when using convection cooking -

1. On the Enamel shelf in the lower or upper shelf position.

2. On the Wire rack shelf in the lower or upper shelf position.

3. Both of the above at the same time, to use the oven for two level cooking.

See individual guidelines on pages 37 for recommended accessories to use.

You can preheat with or without the Enamel shelf or Wire shelf in position.

Convection Cooking

Roasting Meat: Wire shelf in lower

position.

Baking: Enamel shelf in lower position.

Oven accessories to use:

ONE LEVEL COOKING

If cooking on one level, you can use the Enamel Shelf or Wire Shelf in the lower or upper shelf

position.

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.

You can use the Enamel Shelf as a baking dish for roasting potatoes or vegetables, and for

baking fairy cakes, scones and cookies. It is also ideal for re-heating pre-cooked convenience

pastry items.

Roasting Veg / Potatoes: Enamel Shelf. Enamel Shelf.Reheating:

Two level cooking

When cooking on two levels use the Enamel

shelf on the lower shelf position and the Wire

shelf in the upper shelf position.

Depending on the recipe, you can preheat with

or without the accessories in position. See

individual recipes for details.

Two level cooking is ideal for:

1. Batch baking, fairy cakes, cookies and

scones on two levels.

2. Cooking a complete meal together. Frozen

pizza on the upper level and frozen chips

on the lower level.

3. Cooking roast potatoes on the upper level

and roast vegetables on the lower level.

4. Re-heating small pastry items in large

batches- Sausage rolls, pastry pies, quiches

(all pre-cooked).

Ensure that the shelves are inserted

correctly, and are secure before use.

Do not place a dish of food weighing more

than 4 Kg (8 lb 14 oz) on the shelf.

Batch Baking: Fairy Cakes Cooking a complete meal: Frozen pizza on

upper level, frozen oven chips on lower

level

ALWAYS USE OVEN GLOVES WHEN REMOVING THE FOOD AND

ACCESSORIES AFTER COOKING AS THE OVEN AND ACCESSORIES WILL BE

VERY HOT.

MAKE SURE THAT YOU HOLD THE DISH AND/OR SHELF FIRMLY WITH BOTH

HANDS WHEN YOU ARE REMOVING THEM FROM THE OVEN.

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 down to 100°C then 40°C.

Food is generally cooked UNCOVERED - unless it is a casserole or you wish to use roasting

bags for joints.

Combination Cooking

Your oven has three methods of cooking by Combination.

1. Convection and Microwave

2. Grill and Microwave

3. Convection, Grill and Microwave

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 - 2/3of the

conventional cooking time.

There is no need to preheat on COMBINATION

programs, EXCEPT when cooking pastry.

It is possible to use smooth seamed metal tins

and foil containers on COMBINATION. They

must be placed directly on the anti spark ring,

on the wire shelf. They must not be placed

directly onto the wire shelf 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.

NOTE: THE ENAMEL SHELF CANNOT BE

USED FOR COMBINATION COOKING.

Combination 1. Convection and Microwave

This is the most popular combination mode combining convection heat with microwave power.

Casseroles, meat joints, 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 on combination 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 Combination program.

• Set the desired oven temperature by

turning Auto Menu/ Temperature Dial to

the right. The oven starts at 150°C, and

then the temperature will count up in

10°C stages to 250°C, then down to

100°C.

• Press Microwave

Power Pad.

• Set the desired cooking time

(up to 9 hours).

• Press

convection

pad.

• Press Start Button.

• Set the desired microwave

power level. (HIGH and

DEFROST powers are not

available).

Combination 1. Convection and Microwave

Non-metallic dishes or items of food can

be placed directly onto wire shelf in the

lower shelf position.

Joints and portions of meat should be

placed in a Glass Dish on the wire shelf

in the lower shelf position. Very large

joints can be placed in a Glass Dish on

the ceramic plate.

Recipes using foil or metal containers

e.g. cakes and pastries should not to be

placed directly on the wire shelf. Use

the anti-spark ring on top of the wire

shelf, then place any metal container.

DO NOT USE THE ENAMEL SHELF FOR COMBINATION COOKING.

Oven accessories to use

Combination 1. Convection and Microwave

Guidelines

• Food is usually cooked UNCOVERED.

•After cooking it is important that the accessories are removed for cleaning before re-use and

Cooking and Reheating Guidelines

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 61-77 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.

15 Frozen Pizza

16 Pastry Items

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 3-5 mins. on HIGH power

will reheat an average portion. If stacking two

meals, heat on HIGH power for 6-7 mins. and

change the meals over halfway.

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.

Mince Pies

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

Take great care when reheating these items.

See Page 66.

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 61

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.

Cooking and Reheating Guidelines

BABIES BOTTLES – CAUTION

After heating by Microwave liquid at the top of a 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.

For 250ml of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat. Heat on HIGH Power for 30 secs. CHECK CAREFULLY

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 rec-

ommended 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

Fish cooks very well by MICROWAVE as it stays very moist.

LIQUID- Fresh or frozen fish should always be sprinkled with 30 ml (2 tbsp) of lemon juice, white

wine or water for even cooking.

Do not sprinkle salt onto fish before cooking as this may make the fish dry.

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 (1pt) of boiling water and

1 sliced lemon in a large bowl and cook on SIMMER MICROWAVE for 20 mins. Wipe out oven

with a dry cloth.

ARRANGING- If cooking 2 whole fish together, they should be arranged head to tail for even

cooking. Fish steaks should be arranged in a circle, thicker part to the outside. Cover with cling

film or lid.

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.

Fish

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 isn't excessively fatty.

Braised and stewed meat cooked in a

microwave has a slightly firm texture and

therefore it is essential to purchase good quali-

ty meats.

Standing time

Meat and poultry joints require a minimum of

15 mins. STANDING TIME. Roast meat is

always easier to carve after STANDING and

the meat will continue to cook during the

STAND TIME.

Turning

Joints and poultry should be turned over

halfway through cooking.

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.
