A: When the oven does not turn on, check the following:
1. Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove the plug
from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and reinsert.
2. Check the circuit breaker and the fuse. Reset the
circuit breaker or replace the fuse if it is tripped or
blown.
3. If the circuit breaker or fuse is all right, plug another
appliance into the outlet. If the other appliance works,
there probably is a problem with the oven. If the other
appliance does not work, there probably is a problem
with the outlet. If it seems that there is a problem with
the oven, contact an authorized Service Center.
A: Some radio and TV interference might occur when you
cook with the microwave oven. This interference is
similar to the interference caused by small appliances
such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not
indicate a problem with your oven.
A: The oven is designed not to accept an incorrect
program. For example, the oven will only accept one
stage cooking (excluding Delay Start), and will not
accept an Auto Weight Program after Delay Start.
A: The heat given off from the cooking food warms the air
in the oven cavity. This warmed air is carried out of the
oven by the air flow pattern in the oven. There are no
microwaves in the air. The oven vents should never be
blocked during cooking.
A: The oven has programmed DEMO MODE. This mode is
designed for retail store display. Deactivate this mode
by pressing Clock Button four times.
A: Only when you are using CONVECTION/GRILL cooking
mode. The metal in some thermometers may cause
arcing in your oven and should not be used on
MICROWAVE and COMBINATION cooking modes.
A: The noises occur as the oven automatically switches
from MICROWAVE power to CONVECTION/GRILL to
create the combination setting. This is normal.
A: After repeated use, it is recommended to clean the oven
and then run the oven without food, glass tray, and roller
ring on CONVECTION 220°C for 20 minutes. This will
burn off any food, residue or oil which may cause an
odour and/or smoking.
A: Yes. Press the Convection Temperature Selector button
and the oven temperature will appear in the display
window for 2 seconds.
A: Yes. You can cook your favourite recipe just as you
would in a conventional oven. Check instructions in the
Panasonic Cookbook for suggested oven temperatures
and cooking tim
es.
