Combination Cooking - Panasonic NN-GM34NB Operating Instructions Manual

Combination cooking

When cooking by COMBINATION, the MICROWAVE power cooks food quickly
whilst the GRILL gives traditional browning and crisping.
Turn the dial to select the
Combination setting.
„ Notes
1. While cooking, the glass tray may vibrate. This will not affect cooking
performance.
2. The wire rack is designed to be used for COMBINATION and GRILLING.
Never use any other metal accessory except the one provided with the oven.
Place a heatproof dish underneath to catch any fat or drips.
3. Use the wire rack only as described. DO NOT use if operating the oven with
less than 200 g of food on a manual programme. For small quantities, do not
cook by COMBINATION, but cook by GRILL or MICROWAVE ONLY for best
results.
4. Never cover foods when cooking on COMBINATION.
5. DO NOT preheat the oven on COMBINATION.
6. Arcing may occur accidentally if the incorrect weight of food is used, the wire rack
has been damaged, or a metal container has been used. Arcing is flashes of blue
light seen in the microwave oven. If this occurs, stop the oven immediately.
7. Some foods should be cooked on COMBINATION without using the wire rack
i.e. roasts, gratins, pies and puddings. The food should be placed in a
heatproof non-metallic dish and placed directly onto the glass tray.
8. DO NOT use plastic MICROWAVE containers on COMBINATION programmes
(unless suitable for COMBINATION cooking). Dishes must be able to withstand
the heat of the top grill - heatproof glass or ceramic is ideal.
9. 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 wire
rack from oven by holding the rack and heatproof dish firmly. Use oven gloves
when removing accessories. Never touch the outside window or inside metal parts
of the door or oven when taking food in or out due to the high temperatures
involved.
Turn the dial to set the cooking time.
For short cooking time, turn the dial past
2 minutes and then adjust to the time
required. If the door is already closed
cooking time will begin immediately.
