Important Notice

Thank you for purchasing a Panasonic Microwave Oven.

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

adjust cooking times accordingly. The symbol 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 and cooking on page

42-53

this book.

Always

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

door. After checking the progress of the foods, press

Start

to continue the cooking

time.

Failure to follow the instructions given in this Operating Instructions and Cookbook,

may affect the recipe result and in some instances may be dangerous.
