Important Safety Instructions

INSTALLATION

EARTHING

IMPORTANT:

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS

APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY EARTHED.

When an outlet is not earthed, it is personal

responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it

replaced with a properly earthed outlet.

VOLTAGE AND POWER WARNING

The voltage used must be the same as specified on

the microwave oven. Using a higher voltage than that

which is specified is dangerous, and may result in a

fire or other type of accident causing damage.

PLACEMENT OF THE OVEN

Locate the oven on a surface which is flat and stable.

Do not place the oven in a hot or damp place;

e.g. near a gas or electric range. Do not operate the

oven when the room temperature is higher than 40˚C

(104˚F) and/or the humidity is more than 85%. Free

airflow around the oven is important.

There is a possibility of a small amount of interference

with weak broadcast signals if the microwave oven is

too close to a radio or TV.

For safe and efficient operation, the oven must have

sufficient air flow to the air vents i.e. 5 cm (2 inches) at

the side and rear; 20 cm (8 inches) at the top.

This microwave oven must be positioned so that the

plug is accessible.

CAUTION

REMOVAL OF PROTECTIVE FILM

A protective film is used to prevent scratching of the

outer case during transportation. Peel this film off

before installation or use.

DO NOT TURN ON THE OVEN WHEN IT IS EMPTY.

In order to maintain the high quality of the magnetron

tubes and other components, you are requested not to

turn the oven on with no food inside.

DO NOT OPEN THE CABINET.

High voltages are present inside the cabinet. Repairs

and adjustments should be done only by qualified

service personnel.

DO NOT BLOCK THE AIR VENTS.

This microwave oven requires free airflow in the back

for maximum cooling efficiency.You should keep the

air vents clear while cooking.

DO NOT DRY CLOTHES IN THE OVEN.

Do not dry clothes in the microwave oven since there

is a possibility of the clothes burning if left in the oven

for too long of a time.

ATTACH CAUTION LABEL.

If caution label is enclosed with your oven, a suitable

caution label must be attached before using. Please

select appropriate label provided and attach to top of

appliance.

This product is an equipment that fulfills the European standard for EMC disturbances (EMC = Electromagnetic

Compatibility) EN 55011. According to this standard this product is an equipment of group 2, class B and is

within required limits. Group 2 means that radio-frequency energy is intentionally generated in the form of

electromagnetic radiation for warming and cooking of food. Class B means that this product may be used in

normal household areas.

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

1. The door seals and door seal areas should be

cleaned with a damp cloth.

2. The appliance should be inspected for damage

to the door seals and door seal areas and if

these areas are damaged the appliance should

not be operated until it has been repaired by

service technician trained by the manufacturer.

3. It is dangerous for anyone other than a service

technician trained by the manufacturer to perform

repair service.

4. If smoke is observed, press Stop/Reset pad and

keep door closed. Disconnect the power cord, or

shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker

panel.

5. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be

replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent

or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a

hazard.

6. Before use, the user should check that utensils

are suitable for use in the microwave ovens.

7. When heating liquids, e.g. 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 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 cooking

time.

d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a

short time, stirring again before carefully

removing the container.

8. When heating food in plastic or paper containers,

check the oven frequently due to the possibility of

ignition.

9. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food

jars are to be stired or shaken.

The temperature has to be checked before

consumption to avoid burns.

10

. Liquids or other foods must not be heated in

sealed containers since they are liable to

explode.

11

. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs

should not be heated in microwave ovens since

they may explode.

12

. Microwave heating of beverages can result in

delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be

taken when handling the container.

13

. Only allow children to use the oven without

supervision when adequate instructions have

been given so that the child is able to use the

oven in a safe way and understands the hazards

of improper use.

Care of Your Oven

1. Remove the plug from the electrical socket before

cleaning.

2. Keep the inside of the oven [and Middle shelf

(NE-2146-2, NE-2156-2 only)] clean. If pieces of

food or spilled liquids stick to the oven walls, or

between door seal and door surface, they will

absorb microwaves and may cause arcing or

sparks.Wipe up all spills with a damp cloth. Kitchen

detergent or Food Sanitizer Solution may be used if

the oven gets very dirty. Do not use harsh

detergents or abrasives.

The middle shelf can be washed either in hot soapy

water or in the dishwasher.

3. The outside surface of this microwave oven should

be cleaned with soap and water, then dried with a

soft cloth. Make sure that water does not get into

the back ventilation or control panel, opening since

this can damage the unit.

4. The window of the door should be washed with

very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft

cloth. Never use window clearer.The front door can

be scratched by harsh soap or cleaners.

CLEANING OF THE

SPLATTER SHIELD

1. Hold snap in-snap out side stoppers of splatter

shield with both hands and pull them in and down.

Then take the splatter shield out of the oven cavity.

2. Rinse splatter shield in soapy water or Food

Sanitizer Solution. Dry.

3. Be sure to replace the shield before using the oven.

CAUTION

Splatter shield must be in place securely when

you use the oven.

Cooking Instructions

COOKWARE

1. Before using the oven always check that containers

are suitable. DO NOT MICROWAVE sealed

containers as they may explode.

N.B. Always check manufacturer’s instructions as

some food manufacturers are producing food in

containers that do not require piercing.

2. DO NOT leave the appliance unattended if paper,

plastic or other combustible containers are used.

Do not use re-cycled paper products, as they may

contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or

fires when used, unless packaging states they are

specifically designed for MICROWAVE use.

3. Heat-proof glassware, such as Pyroceram and

Pyrex, is best suited for use in the microwave oven.

4. Do not use metal ware, ceramics trimmed with gold

or silver, or any container with a metal content.

5. If “arcing” should occur, check the cookware

carefully again for metal.

6. You may use ordinary glassware, chinaware,

plastic-ware and paper-ware, when cooking food

that requires a low temperature. Using this type of

cookware for high temperature cooking may cause

cracking or warping.

7. You can cook steamed vegetables in special “see-

through” wrapping film, such as Saran Wrap, or wax

paper. Do not cook in a plastic bag.

CAUTION

Do not use METAL UTENSILS in this oven.

OTHER HELPFUL

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR BEST RESULTS

1. When determining time for particular foods, always

figure minimum time and check occasionally during

cooking for progress.The microwave oven cooks so

quickly, therefore it is easy to overcook your foods.

2. Be careful of the cooking time for small quantities of

foods, or foods with low water content.They may

burn if cooked too long.

3. Do not use the oven for drying kitchen towels or

napkins.They may burn if heated too long.

4. Do not try to boil eggs in the oven.

5. When you cook an egg be sure to pierce the yolk

membrane prior to placing into the oven to prevent

the egg bursting.

HOW TO GET BROWNED FINISH

Generally foods do not brown when cooked by a

microwave oven.This is one of the features of the

equipment.To brown chickens, brush sauce on the

surface before or during cooking.You can also brown

meat in a conventional frying pan before cooking in

the oven. A browning skillet for the microwave oven

can obtain the same result.

FOR EVEN FINISHED COOKING

Open the door and give the dish a half turn, or turn

the food over during cooking.This helps to achieve

more even cooking.When you cook chicken the legs

cook faster than other parts.Wrap the legs with

aluminum foil during cooking to reflect the microwave

energy in order to create even cooking.

TWO LEVEL COOKING

(NE-2146-2/2156-2 only)

When heating, one item always place the container in

the centre of the bottom shelf.

When using the microwave mainly for reheating one

item at a time, remove the middle shelf and work on

the bottom shelf.

When reheating two items at a time place both dishes

on the bottom shelf side by side, unless the containers

are too large and then place one on the shelf.

When heating more than two plates, place the dishes

evenly on the two shelves.

Allow some space between each plate, do not cram

too much food into the oven.

If the middle shelf is not used, it should be stored

outside the oven and must not be put on the bottom

shelf.

DEFROSTING FROZEN

FOODS

1. If you try to completely defrost frozen foods in the

microwave oven, uneven defrosting may occur due

to the differences in the thickness and shape of the

food. Drippings may also result, and sometimes a

part of the food cooks although other parts still

remain frozen. In actual usage of frozen foods, you

should not normally defrost them 100%. 70%

defrosting in the microwave oven is ideal and

helpful for the next cooking operation.

2. To defrost evenly, turn over or rearrange the food

during defrosting.

3. To defrost fatty meat, heat it in the microwave oven

for a short time and leave it to stand at room

temperature, or heat it intermittently until defrosted.

4. When you defrost a whole chicken, or any frozen

food of irregular shape, wrap legs or thin parts with

aluminum foil. Otherwise thin parts will be defrosted

faster and sometimes cooked before other parts

have properly defrosted. For big pieces of meat,

wrap the sides with aluminum foil so that they will

be uniformly thawed by vertical microwaves only.

5. Ice should be removed at times during defrosting.

Cooking Instructions

MICROWAVE BASICS

Fundamental principles determine the success of

microwave food preparation.

They include:

1.

TEMPERATURE OF FOODS –– Frozen or

refrigerated food items will require longer heating

times to reach a desired serving temperature than

foods from room temperature.

2.

FOOD COMPONENTS –– Foods high in sugar,

salt, fats and moisture content heat faster because

these properties attract microwave energy. Denser

foods high in protein and fiber, absorb microwave

energy slower which means a lengthier heating

time.

3.

BULK/VOLUME –– The greater the mass of food,

the longer it takes to heat.

4.

CONTAINERS –– Ceramic, paper, china,

styrofoam, glass and plastic are suitable for use in

microwave ovens with the following caution.

DO NOT HEAT foods in a SEALED container or

bag. Foods expand when heated and can break the

container or bag.

5.

AVOID METAL because it “bounces” the

microwaves, causing uneven heating and

sometimes even flashes, which may pit or mark the

interior of the oven, the metal container or plate

trim.

6. Heated liquids can erupt if not mixed with air. Do

not heat liquids in your microwave oven without first

stirring.

Heating foods with either high sugar or high fat

content should be done ONLY in high

temperature-resistant containers since these

foods get very hot. Using styrofoam containers for

these foods will cause the styrofoam to warp.

Other low temperature restaurant glass or plastic

platters may crack or warp under similar

conditions.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR

HEATING IN A PANASONIC

MICROWAVE OVEN

For specific time, see each food category for

appropriate heating techniques, plus necessary pre-

preparation of foods.

HEATING FOODS FROM REFRIGERATED TEMPERATURE

Foods stored in the refrigerator (5˚C) should be

covered before reheating with the exception of breads,

pastries or any breaded product, which should be

heated uncovered to prevent sogginess.

Most conventionally prepared foods should be slightly

undercooked, and held in the refrigerator, so that

overcooking does not occur during microwave heating.

Cooked items, such as vegetables, may be portion

plated and covered for reheating without loss of color,

texture or nutritional content.

HEATING FOODS FROM ROOM TEMPERATURE

Food items such as canned entree, vegetables, etc.

will require significantly less heating time than those

from refrigerated temperatures.

IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS

1. For best results it is recommended that foods

conventionally prepared be slightly undercooked

when subsequently heated in this oven.

2. REMEMBER that after the heating cycle has been

completed, internal food temperatures continue to

rise slightly in foods heated in this oven.

3. A major abuse of microwave applications is the

category of breads, pastries and pies.They are drier

than insides or fillings, they heat more slowly.

Therefore, baked goods should ONLY be heated

until the crust is warm to the touch (50˚C-55˚C).

4. DO NOT OVERHEAT YOUR FOOD: 99% of all food

quality complaints of microwave heated foods can

be traced to overheating.

HINTS:

•

Do not cook/reheat/defrost directly onto the base of the oven –– use a suitable container.

•

When defrosting multi portions of foods, turn over and break apart halfway through defrost time to

allow better penetration of microwave energy.

•

Solid/dense foods should not be cooked from frozen as they will be overcooked round the edges

before the centre has reached the required temperature.

•

Cover dishes where appropriate during cooking/reheating.This will retain moisture and prevent

splashing/spillages.

•

Loosen lids/pierce clingfilm before cooking/reheating covered foods.

•

Stir or shake foods halfway through cooking/defrosting time to distribute the heat evenly.

•

Allow a Stand Time before food temperature is checked and/or offered for consumption.
