User manual PANASONIC NN-V689

[. . . ] If your AC outlet is not grounded, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded wall socket. Operation voltage The voltage has to be the same as specified on the label on the oven. If a higher voltage than specified is used, it may cause a fire or other damages. Placement of the Oven This oven is intended for counter-top use only. [. . . ] Before cooking, allow to stand for a minimum of one hour. During this standing time, the temperature becomes evenly distributed and the food is defrosted by conduction. If the food is not going to be cooked immediately, store it in the refrigerator. Never refreeze defrosted food without first cooking it. JOINTS AND POULTRY Since the outside of these foods quickly defrosts, it is necessary to separate them, break the blocks into pieces frequently while defrosting and remove them when they have defrosted. SMALL PORTIONS OF FOOD Chops and chicken pieces must be separated as soon as possible so that they defrost evenly throughout. Fatty parts and the ends defrost more quickly. Place them near the centre of the turntable or protect them. It is preferable to place the joints on an upturned plate or plastic rack so that they are not resting in the juices. It is essential to protect delicate or projecting parts of this food with small pieces of foil to prevent these parts from cooking. It is not dangerous to use small pieces of foil in your oven, provided they do not come into contact with the oven walls. Never cover foods when cooking on combination. DO NOT preheat the grill on combination. Arcing may occur if the incorrect weight of food is used, the wire rack has been damaged, or a metal container has been used accidentally. Arcing is flashes of blue light seen in the microwave. If this occurs, stop the oven immediately. Some foods should be cooked on combination without using the wire rack i. e. The food should be placed in a heatproof non-metallic dish and placed directly onto the turntable. DO NOT use plastic MICROWAVE containers on combination programs (unless suitable for combination cooking. ) Dishes must be able to withstand the heat of the top grill - heatproof glass ® e. g. DO NOT use your own metal dishes or tins, as the microwaves will not penetrate the food evenly. CAUTION: The wire rack must always be used with the glass tray in position. Remove grill rack from oven by holding the rack and heatproof dish firmly. Use oven gloves when removing accessories. [. . . ] It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher. The roller ring and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent and hot water then dry with a clean cloth. [. . . ]
