5. DO NOT use recycled paper products unless the paper product
is labeled as safe for microwave oven use. Recycled paper
products may contain impurities, which may cause sparking.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING AND BURNING:
POT HOLDERS should always be
used when removing items from
the oven. Heat is transferred from
the HOT food to the cooking
container and from the container
to the Glass Tray. The Glass
Tray can also be very HOT after
removing the cooking container from the oven. The wire rack is
designed for use in the Convection, Broil, Airfry and Combo modes,
and will be hot after use.
Care in handling the Wire Rack, Enamel Tray and Airfry Basket
must be exercised.
Glass Tray
1. DO NOT operate the oven without the Roller Ring and the Glass

Installation and Grounding Instructions
Examine Your Oven
Unpack oven, remove all packing material and examine the oven
for any damage such as dents, broken door latches or cracks in the
door. Notify dealer immediately if oven is damaged. DO NOT install
if oven is damaged.
Placement of Oven
1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface, which is more
than 36 inches (91.6 cm) height from the ground. Place the front
surface of the door 3 inches (7.6 cm) or more from the counter
top edge to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven
during normal use. For proper operation, the oven must have
sufficient air flow. Allow 6 inches (15 cm) of space on the top
of the oven, 4 inches (10 cm) at back and 2inches (5 cm) on
both sides. If one side of the oven is placed flush to a wall, the
other side or top must not be blocked. Do not remove feet.
(a) DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during operation,
the oven may overheat and be damaged.
(b) DO NOT place oven near a hot, damp surface such as a gas
or electric range, or dishwasher.
(c) DO NOT operate oven when room humidity is excessive.
2. This oven is manufactured for household use only. It is not
approved or tested for mobile vehicle, marine, or commercial use.
Installation
1. DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during operation,
the oven may overheat. If the oven overheats, a thermal safety
device will turn the oven off. The oven will remain inoperable
until it has cooled.
2. If the oven is designed for installation into a wall cabinet,
only use the proper Panasonic trim kit available from a local
Panasonic dealer, or online from the Panasonic Canada eStore.
Follow all instructions packed with the trim kit.
3. Use of a non-Panasonic trim kit will void the Manufacturers
warranty for the Microwave oven.
WARNING: IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING
PLUG CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use
an extension cord, use only a three-wire extension cord that has a
three-prong polarized grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle
that will accept the plug of the appliance. The marked rating of the
extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.
Grounding Instructions
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Plug into properly installed and grounded three-prong
outlet.
DO NOT remove ground prong.
DO NOT use an adapter.
Power Supply
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is exercised
in their use. DO NOT let cord hang over edge of a table or counter.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used,
The marked electrical rating
of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
The extension cord must be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.
The longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
accidentally.
Wiring Requirements
1. The oven must be operated on a SEPARATE CIRCUIT. No other
appliance should share the circuit with the microwave oven. If it does,
the branch circuit fuse may blow or the circuit breaker may trip.
2. The oven must be plugged into at least a 15 A or 20 A, 120 V,
60 Hz GROUNDED OUTLET. (Beginning in 2017, all new
construction and all renovated single family homes must
have at least a 20 A, 120 VOLT, 60 Hz GROUNDED OUTLET).
Where a standard two-prong outlet is encountered, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have
it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong outlet.
3. The VOLTAGE used must be the same as specified on this
microwave oven (120V, 60Hz). Using a higher voltage is
dangerous and may result in a fire or oven damage. Using
a lower voltage will cause slow cooking. Panasonic is NOT
responsible for any damages resulting from the use of the oven
with any voltage other than specified.

Food Preparation
Follow these Safety Precautions when cooking in your oven.
IMPORTANT
Proper cooking depends upon the power, the time setting
and quantity of food. If you use a smaller portion than
recommended but cook at the time for the recommended
portion, fire could result.
1) HOME CANNING / STERILIZING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL
QUANTITIES OF FOODS
DO NOT use your oven for home canning. Your oven cannot
maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. The food
may be contaminated and then spoil.
DO NOT use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby
bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high
temperature needed for sterilization.
DO NOT dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven.
Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can
dry out, scorch or catch on fire if overheated.
DO NOT prepare small food portions at high power. This can
cause energy concentration at a fixed spot, which can lead to
arcing and damage to your oven. Select a lower cook power
setting when preparing small portions.
2) POPCORN
Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven corn popper.
Microwave popcorn that pops in its own package is also
available. Follow popcorn manufacturers’ directions and use a
brand suitable for the cooking power of your microwave oven.
CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn,
you can follow recommended package instructions or use the
Popcorn menu (refer to page 34). Otherwise, the popcorn may
not pop adequately or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave
the oven unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn
bag to cool before opening, and always open the bag facing
away from your face and body to prevent steam burns.
3) DEEP FAT FRYING
DO NOT deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Cooking oils
may burst into flames and may cause damage to the oven and
may result in burns. Microwave utensils may not withstand the
temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt.
4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS
DO NOT COOK / REHEAT WHOLE EGGS, WITH OR WITHOUT
THE SHELL.
Steam buildup in whole
eggs may cause them to
explode, and possibly
damage the oven or
cause injury. Reheating
SLICED hard-boiled eggs
and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.
Potatoes, apples, whole squash and
sausages are examples of foods with
nonporous skins. These types of foods
must be pierced before microwave
cooking to prevent them from
exploding.
CAUTION: Cooking dry or old
potatoes can cause fire.
5) GLASS TRAY / COOKING CONTAINERS / FOIL
Cooking containers get hot during microwaving. Heat is
transferred from the HOT food to the container and the Glass
Tray. Use pot holders when removing containers from the oven
or when removing lids or plastic wrap covers from cooking
containers, to avoid burns.
The Glass Tray will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed
to cool before handling or before paper products, such as paper
plates or microwave popcorn bags, are placed in the oven for
microwave cooking.
When using foil in the oven, allow at least 1-inch (2.5 cm) of
space between foil and interior oven walls or door.
Dishes with metallic trim should not be used, as arcing
may occur.
6) PAPER TOWELS / CLOTHS
DO NOT use paper towels or cloths that contain a synthetic fiber
woven into them. The synthetic fiber may cause the towel to
ignite. Use paper toweling under supervision.
7) BROWNING DISHES / OVEN COOKING BAGS
Browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking
only. Always follow instructions provided by the manufacturer.
DO NOT preheat browning dish more
than six minutes.
If an oven cooking bag is used for
microwave cooking, prepare according to
package directions. DO NOT use a wire
twist-tie to close bag. Instead use plastic
ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the
open end of the bag.
8
Food Preparation (continued)
8) THERMOMETERS
DO NOT use a conventional
meat thermometer in your
oven. Arcing may occur.
Microwave safe thermometers
are available for both meat and
candy.
9) BABY FORMULA / BABY FOOD
DO NOT heat baby formula or baby
food in the microwave oven. The glass
jar or surface of the food may appear
warm while the interior can be so
hot as to burn the infant’s mouth and
esophagus.
10) REHEATING PASTRY PRODUCTS
When reheating pastry products, check temperatures of any
fillings before eating. Some foods have fillings, which heat
faster and can be extremely hot, while the surface remains
warm to the touch (for example, jelly donuts).
11) GENERAL OVEN USAGE GUIDELINES
DO NOT use the oven for any purpose other than the
preparation of food. This oven is specifically designed to heat
or cook food. DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other
non-food products.
Before use, check that utensils/containers are suitable for use in
microwave ovens.
DO NOT attempt to use this microwave oven to dry newspaper,
clothing or any other materials. They may catch fire.
When the oven is not being used, DO NOT store any objects
other than oven accessories inside the oven in case it is
accidentally turned on.
The appliance shall not be operated by Microwave or Combo
WITHOUT FOOD IN THE OVEN.
Operation in this manner may damage the appliance.
If smoke or a fire occurs in the oven, press the Stop/Reset button
and leave the door closed in order to extinguish the flames.
Disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse.
Extreme caution must be used when moving hot liquids.

contents spill.
Avoid hot steam, serious burns and scalds could result.
To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to lean, hang, sit or
place heavy items on the open door of the appliance.
Severe personal injury could result.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam
from the cleaning appliance could penetrate live components
and permanently damage the oven or cause injury.
The use of accessories not recommended by Panasonic may
cause injury.
12) HEATER OPERATION
Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and
the oven door will get hot during Airfry, Convection, Combo
or Broil functions. To prevent burns, take care when opening
or closing the door and when inserting or removing food and
accessories.
The oven has heaters situated in the top of the oven. During
and after using either the Airfry, Convection, Combo or Broil
functions, all inside surfaces of the oven will be very hot. To
prevent burns, care should be taken to avoid touching the
inside surfaces of the oven.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING, please use caution when
touching accessible parts when oven is operated in Convection,
Combo or Broil mode, because the accessible parts may
become extremely hot.
13) BEFORE USING YOUR OVEN
Before using the oven for the first time, wipe excessive oil off
in the oven cavity and operate the oven without food and
accessories on Convection at 425 °F (220 °C), for 10 minutes.
This will allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be
burned off. This is the only time the oven is used empty.
(with the exception of preheating on Convection.)

Oven accessories to use
When using the Convection
oven the glass tray should be
in position and must have the
enamel tray placed on top.
The food is then placed onto
the enamel tray. Follow your
individual recipe guidelines.
When using the oven as a
Convection oven, there is
NO MICROWAVE POWER, i.e.
the oven is operating as a
conventional oven and you
can use all your standard metal
baking tins and ovenware.
It is not recommended to cook
on more than one level when
using the Convection oven.
When cooking 2 trays of buns
etc, cook in two batches.
CAUTION:
Food, accessories and the
surrounding oven will get very
hot. Use oven mitts.
Microwave
This feature allows you to set
the desired power and time to
cook food. Do not place food
directly on the glass tray. Use
microwave safe dishes, plates
or bowls covered with a lid or
pierced cling film.

Program Weight Accessories Instructions
Sensor Reheat
8 - 36 oz.
(200 - 1000 g)
All foods must be pre-cooked. Foods
should be at refrigerator tempera-
ture approx. 41 °F (+ 5 °C). Reheat in
microwaveable container as purchased.
If transferring food to dish, cover with
pierced plastic wrap. Press dial to Start.
Stir at beeps. Stir again at end of pro-
gram and allow a few minutes standing
time. Large pieces of meat/fish in a thin
sauce may require longer cooking.
One Push Reheating food chart:
Suitable foods
Pre-Cooked Dishes: Casserole, Stew, Leftover
Chilled Meal, Entrée
Unsuitable foods
Raw Foods: Vegetables, Meats, Rice
Thicker Foods, cannot not be stirred: Lasagne, Shepherds Pie
Beverages: Water, Milk, Co ee
How it works
Once the One Push Reheating has been selected, the food is heated up. As food begins to get hot,
steam is emitted. When the food reaches a certain temperature and begins to cook, an even greater
amount of steam is released. The increase in steam emission is detected by a humidity sensor in
the oven. This acts as a signal for the oven to calculate how much longer the food needs to cook.
The remaining cooking time will appear in the display window after two beeps. Whilst the Sensor
symbol is still flashing in the display window the oven door should not be opened. Wait until the
cooking time appears in the window, and then open the door if required, to stir or turn the food.
Adjust to Taste
The One Push Reheating reheats a chilled meal for average tastes. You are able to adjust the
reheating program to your own taste. After pressing Start, +/- symbol and flashing bar appears in
the display, turn dial clockwise for more time or anticlockwise for less time. This operation should be
completed within 14 seconds. Default mode is normal.
Notes:
1. Press the dial in two minutes right after the door was closed, otherwise One Push Reheating
Function will be rejected and beeps will sound. Open the door and close it again will release
the One Push Reheating Function.
2. The oven automatically calculates the reheating time or the remaining reheating time.
3. The door should not be opened before the time appears in the display window.
4. To prevent any mistakes during One Push Reheating ensure that glass tray and the container
are dry.
5. The room temperature should not be more than 95 °F (35 °C) and not less than 32 °F (0 °C).
6. If the oven has previously been used and it is too hot to be used on One Push Reheating, “HOT INSIDE
WAIT will appear in the display window. After the “HOT INSIDE WAIT disappears, the One Push
Reheating may be used. If in a hurry, cook food manually by selecting the correct cooking mode and
cooking time yourself.
NOTES:
1. Defrost can be used to defrost many cuts of meat, poultry and
fish by weight. The oven will determine the defrosting time and
power levels. Once the oven is programmed, the defrosting
time will appear in the display. For best results the minimum
recommended weight is 0.1 lb (0.1 kg).
2. Turn over the food, remove defrosted food and shield thin
ends/fat bones of roast with foil when buzzer rings in the
middle of cooking.
3. Allow standing time so that the center of the food thaws out.
(Minimum of 1 hour for joints of meat and whole chickens).
Conversion
Follow the chart to convert ounces or hundredths of a pound
into tenths of a pound. To use Defrost, enter the weight of the
food in pounds (1.0) and tenths of a pound (0.1). If a piece of
meat weighs 1.95 lbs or 1 lb 14 oz., enter 1.9 lbs.

4. Automatic features are provided for your convenience. If
results are not suitable to your individual preference, or if
serving size is other than what is listed in next page, please
refer to manual cooking on page 25.
5. If the temperature of the cavity is too high, Sensor Cook feature
cannot be used. The message “HOT INSIDE WAIT” will appears
in the display window. Sensor Cook feature can be used again
when the “HOT INSIDE WAIT” message disappears. Please open
the door in order to cool the temperature of the cavity more
quickly.
For the best results with the GENIUS SENSOR, follow these
recommendations:
BEFORE Reheating/Cooking:
1. The room temperature surrounding the oven should be below
95 °F (35 °C).
2. Food weight should exceed 4 oz. (110 g).
3. Be sure the glass tray, the outside of the cooking containers
and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing
food in the oven. Residual beads of moisture turning into
steam can mislead the sensor.
4. Cover food with lid, or with vented plastic wrap. Never use
tightly sealed plastic containers—they can prevent steam from
escaping and cause food to overcook.
DURING Reheating/Cooking:
DO NOT open the oven door until two beeps sound and cooking time
appears in the display. Doing so will cause inaccurate cooking since
the steam from food is no longer contained within the oven cavity.
Once the cooking time begins to count down, the oven door may
be opened to stir, turn or rearrange foods.
AFTER Reheating/Cooking:
All foods should have a standing time.

Note:
Always check that food is piping hot after reheating in the microwave. If unsure return to oven. Foods will still require a standing
time, especially if they cannot be stirred. The denser the food the longer the standing time.
51
Bone and Fat
Both bone and fat affect cooking. Bones may cause irregular cooking.
Meat next to the tips of bones may overcook while meat positioned under
a large bone, such as a ham bone, may be undercooked. Large amounts
of fat absorb microwave energy and the meat next to these areas may
overcook.
Density
Porous, airy foods such as breads, cakes or rolls take less time to cook
than heavy, dense foods such as potatoes and roasts. When reheating
donuts or other foods with different centers be very careful. Certain foods
have centers made with sugar, water, or fat and these centers attract
microwaves (for example, jelly donuts). When a jelly donut is heated,
the jelly can become extremely hot while the exterior remains warm to
the touch. This could result in a burn if the food is not allowed to cool
properly in the center.
Quantity
Two potatoes take longer to cook than one potato. As the quantity of
the food decreases so does the cooking time. Overcooking will cause the
moisture content in the food to decrease and a fire could result. Never
leave microwave unattended while in use.
Shape
Uniform sizes heat more evenly. The thin end of a drumstick will cook
more quickly than the meaty end. To compensate for irregular shapes,
place thin parts toward the center of the dish and thick pieces toward the
edge.
Size
Thin pieces cook more quickly than thick pieces.
Starting Temperature
Foods that are at room temperature take less time to cook than if they are
chilled, refrigerated or frozen.
Food Characteristics
52
Cooking Techniques
Piercing
Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced, scored or have a strip of
skin peeled before cooking to allow steam to escape. Pierce clams, oysters,
chicken livers, whole potatoes and whole vegetables. Whole apples or new
potatoes should have a 1-inch (2.5 cm) strip of skin peeled before cooking.
Score sausages and frankfurters. Do not Cook/Reheat whole eggs, with or
without the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to explode,
and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating SLICED hard-boiled
eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.
Browning
Foods will not have the same brown appearance as conventionally cooked foods
or those foods which are cooked utilizing a browning feature. Meats and poultry
may be coated with browning sauce, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce or
shake-on browning sauce. To use, combine browning sauce with melted butter
or margarine and brush on before cooking. For quick breads or muffins, brown
sugar can be used in the recipe in place of granulated sugar, or the surface can be
sprinkled with dark spices before baking.
Spacing
Individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes and appetizers, will cook
more evenly if placed in the oven equal distances apart. When possible,
arrange foods in a circular pattern.
Covering
As with conventional cooking, moisture evaporates during microwave
cooking. Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. When using
plastic wrap, vent the plastic wrap by folding back part of the plastic wrap
from the edge of the dish to allow steam to escape. Loosen or remove plastic
wrap as recipe directs for standing time. When removing plastic wrap covers,
as well as any glass lids, be careful to remove them away from you to avoid
steam burns. Various degrees of moisture retention are also obtained by
using wax paper or paper towels.
Shielding
Thin areas of meat and poultry cook more quickly than meaty portions.
To prevent overcooking, these thin areas can be shielded with strips of
aluminum foil. Wooden toothpicks may be used to hold the foil in place.
CAUTION is to be exercised when using foil. Arcing can occur if foil is too
close to oven wall or door and damage to your oven will result.
Cooking Time
Cooking times will vary because of food shape variations, starting
temperature, and regional preferences. Always cook food for the minimum
cooking time given in a recipe and check for doneness. If the food is
undercooked, continue cooking. It is easier to add time to an undercooked
product. Once the food is overcooked, nothing can be done.
Stirring
Stirring is usually necessary during microwave cooking. Always bring the
cooked outside edges toward the center and the less cooked center portions
toward the outside of the dish.
Rearranging
Rearrange small items such as chicken pieces, shrimp, hamburger patties or
pork chops. Rearrange pieces from the edge to the center and pieces from
the center to the edge of the dish.
Turning
It is not possible to stir some foods to distribute the heat evenly. At times,
microwave energy will concentrate in one area of the food. To help ensure
even cooking, these foods need to be turned. Turn over large foods, such as
roasts or turkeys, halfway through cooking.
Standing Time
Most foods will continue to cook by conduction after the microwave oven
is turned off. After cooking meat, the internal temperature will rise 5 °F to
15 °F (3 °C to 8 °C), if allowed to stand, tented with foil, for 10 to 15 minutes.
Casseroles and vegetables need a shorter amount of standing time, but this
standing time is necessary to allow foods to complete cooking to the center
without overcooking on the edges.
Test for Doneness
The same tests for doneness used in conventional cooking may be used for
microwave cooking. Meat is done when fork-tender or splits at fibers. Chicken
is done when juices are clear yellow and drumstick moves freely. Fish is done
when it flakes and is opaque. Cake is done when a toothpick or cake tester is
inserted and comes out clean.
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department
of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area
away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during
cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
Cook all food to these minimum internal temperatures as measured
with a food thermometer before removing food from oven. For
reasons of personal preference, you may choose to cook food at
higher temperatures.

Care and Cleaning of Your Microwave Oven
Please see below and the following page for
particular cleaning instructions for each section of
the oven.
BEFORE CLEANING: Unplug oven at wall outlet. If outlet
is inaccessible, leave oven door open while cleaning.
AFTER CLEANING: Be sure to place the Roller Ring and
the Glass Tray in the proper position and press Stop/
Reset Button to clear the Display.
1. Outside oven surfaces: Clean with a damp cloth.
To prevent damage to the operating parts inside
the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into
ventilation openings.
2. Label: Do not remove. Wipe with a damp cloth.
3. Inside the Oven: Wipe with a damp cloth after
using. Mild detergent may be used if needed. Do not
use harsh detergents or abrasives.
4. Oven Door: Wipe with a soft dry cloth when steam
accumulates inside or around the outside of the
oven door. During cooking, especially under high
humidity conditions, steam is given off from the
food. (Some steam will condense on cooler surfaces,
such as the oven door. This is normal.) Inside surface is covered with a heat and vapor barrier film. Do not remove.
5. Oven Cavity Floor: Clean the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent, water or window cleaner, and dry.
6. Waveguide Cover: Do not remove Waveguide Cover. It is important to keep cover clean in the same manner as the inside of
the oven. Failure to do so may damage the cover.
7. Control Panel: If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean it with a soft dry cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives.
For some models: The Control Panel is covered with a removable protective film to prevent scratches during shipping. Small bubbles
may appear under this film, so if this is the case, remove by applying masking or clear tape to an exposed corner and pull gently.
8. Glass Tray: Remove and wash in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.
9. Roller Ring: Roller Ring may be washed in mild soapy water or dishwasher. These areas should be kept clean to avoid excessive noise.
AS WITH ANY COOKING APPLIANCE, MICROWAVE OVENS REQUIRE THE SAME LEVEL OF CARE TO PREVENT OVERHEATING OR
DAMAGE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY. FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDENSATION MAY CAUSE
RUSTING OR ARCING AND DAMAGE TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE DRY ALL SURFACES,
INCLUDING VENT OPENINGS, OVEN SEAMS, AND UNDER GLASS TRAY.

Before Requesting Service
See below before calling for service, as most problems can easily be remedied by following these simple solutions:
Problem Solution
The oven causes TV
interference.
Some radio, TV, Wi-Fi, cordless telephone, baby monitor, blue tooth or other wireless
equipment 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.
Steam accumulates on
oven door and warm
air comes from the
oven vents.
During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most of the
steam and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which circulates in the
oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on cooler surfaces such as the
oven door. This is normal. After use, the oven should be wiped dry (see page 53).
Smoke and burnt smell
will occur after the first
use.
This is not a malfunction and will go away after a few uses.
Oven will not turn on.
The oven is not plugged in securely or needs to be reset; remove plug from outlet,
wait ten seconds and re-insert.
Main circuit breaker or main fuse is tripped or blown. Reset main circuit breaker or
replace main fuse.
There is a problem with the outlet; plug another appliance into the outlet to check
if it is working.
Oven will not start
cooking.
