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 technology. This 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.
We hope you enjoy using your new oven but should you require any further help or explanation,
write to the address below, or contact us
on-line at [email protected] Alternatively
