How a Microwave Works To get the most from your Panasonic Combi it is helpful to understand how the oven works as a Microwave. Once connected to an outlet, the electricity flows along the flex and is converted into microwave energy by the MAGNETRON. Microwaves are ultra high frequency waves, and belong to the same category as radio and television waves. These are directed into the cavity through the WAVE GUIDE. When they reach the cavity, the microwaves will behave in one of three ways: 1.
Types of container to use on Microwave 2.China/Ceramics DO USE: Glazed china dishes, porcelain and ceramic dishes designed for cooking. DO NOT USE: Fine bone china dishes with metal patterns. Jugs with glued handles. 3.Pottery/Earthenware/Stoneware DO USE: If completely glazed. DO NOT USE: If unglazed - these dishes can absorb water which absorbs energy. This makes the dish hot and increases the heating time. 7.Wood/Wicker DO USE: Wooden skewers designed for food use.
Reheating by Microwave The microwave mode of your Panasonic Combi will be most frequently used to reheat food. Although the oven is provided with a rotating wave guide, all reheating times, and uniformity of heating, will vary according to several factors as below. 1.Choosing the correct reheat time When heating foods for the first time it is necessary to experiment, to obtain the correct timings.
Reheating by Microwave Affects of the foods 2.Headspace When heating liquids, ensure they do not completely fill their containers; a headspace allows the liquids to be stirred during and at the end of the heating time without spillage. 3.Covering foods A container covered with either cling film, a plastic plate cover or even the lid to the dish, will heat fractionally faster then an uncovered dish.
Reheating by Microwave Tips for Reheating your own Homemade Foods Serving foods prepared in-house gives a homemade quality to the menu and allows for seasonality. However, for best results, follow the tips below if they are to be regenerated in your Panasonic Combi Oven. 1.Overcooking Do not overcook vegetables - slightly undercook them, and they will finish cooking during the reheating time. 2.
Reheating by Microwave Tips for Reheating Commercially Prepared Foods 1.Heating Times On the following charts, we have listed for your convenience, many commercially prepared foods. Use the times suggested for particular foods as a guide only. 2.Containers A time band is suggested to accommodate the use of different containers, for example, an earthenware pot will need the longer time to reheat because of its thickness, whilst a plastic or heat resistant glass will take slightly less time. 3.

Defrosting by Microwave The ability to defrost foods quickly is another excellent benefit of your Panasonic Combi.The quality of the defrosted food will depend a great deal on the care the food receives in freezing and defrosting, so always ensure that the best food is frozen and that it is packaged correctly. Ensure the freezer is running at the correct temperature(-18˚C or below) and that it is not overloaded with food or ice. Always label and date foods so that they can be used in strict rotation.

Cooking by Microwave Commercial ovens are primarily used for reheating and defrosting. It is possible however to cook certain foods eg. fish and vegetables very successfully by microwave. These foods should be limited to small quantities as larger amounts will not offer any time saving. 1.Arranging When cooking fillets or whole fish, always arrange the thicker part to the outside of the container and, wherever possible, make even-shaped parcels of fish.

Caution: Turning food Take great care when turning food - Wire Rack Shelf and oven walls will be extremely hot. Take care as there is NO NON-TIP LOCK mechanism on Wire Rack Shelf.
Using the Grill Function Suggested Cooking times Below are suggested cooking times for popular grilled foods. The time required will depend on the start temperature, depth and shape of food. Most foods benefit from turning halfway during cooking.

Door closed The Fan Grill will only operate when the door is closed.
Using the Combination Function Type of container to use Combination programmes use microwaves and heat (CONVECTION or GRILL CONVECTION or GRILL or FAN GRILL) therefore you must choose the container carefully. DO USE: Metal containers check they do not have jagged metal seams. Ceramics that do not have a metal pattern. Heat proof glass and china. DO NOT USE: Enamelled items (that may be chipped). Dishes with gold/metal pattern.Enamelled cast iron eg. Le Creuset.
Reheating by Combination Tips for Reheating your own Homemade Foods 1.Containers If you are preparing recipes for freezing to regenerate on Combination, choose containers that are microwave safe as well as heat-proof and suitable for freezing. To make good use of the microwave energy the containers should not be too deep. When preparing multi-portion recipes, select a container that is not too large for cavity of the oven as this may restrict circulation of the hot air. 3.
Reheating by Combination Tips for Reheating Commercially Prepared Foods Many Commercially prepared foods are ideal for reheating on COMBINATION - offering the advantage of large time saving as only a fraction of the conventional heating time is required. It also means that many foods will have a “freshly cooked” appearance due to the crisping and browning that takes place -more appetising for many recipes than MICROWAVE only. 1.
Cooking Fish on Combination 1.Arranging When cooking fillets or whole fish, always arrange the thicker part to the outside of the container. Two fish cooked together should be placed head to tail, with the backbone towards the outside to the dish. Fish steaks should be arranged with the thinner tall end towards the centre. DO NOT PILE fish up for best results cook in a single layer. 2.Adding fat / oil / seasoning To help keep the fish moist, brush with oil or dot with butter before cooking.
Cooking Meat on Combination Tips for cooking Poultry on Combination 1.Turning / Basting / Draining For best results, whole chickens should be turned halfway through cooking and basted. Drain any excess meat juices and fat. 2.Shielding To prevent over-cooking, shield the breast, wings and legs of chicken, duck and turkey with smooth pieces of aluminium foil. Ensure foil does not touch Wire Rack Shelf, walls, roof or door of oven. 3.Covering DO NOT cover poultry when cooking by Combination. 5.

Common Problems This section tries to solve any common problems you may have. Remember to always keep your Operating Guide on hand for reference. PROBLEM Food cools quickly after Microwave or Combination cooking. CAUSE Food insufficiently heated. Foods take longer to cook, defrost Oven not receiving enough power. or reheat than stated. Food type, size, weight, temperature not exactly as stated. Liquids boil over when cooked by microwave or combination.
Common Problems PROBLEM Dishes get hot. Condensation appears in the cavity and door. Steam is expelled from around the door. Smoke appears around the door when grilling. The ceramic cavity base cracks. SOLUTION CAUSE Steam trapped within container transferring heat to dish. The dish is absorbing the microwave energy.
