Thank you for purchasing a Panasonic Microwave Oven.
Even if this is not your first microwave oven, do please read the opening chapters of this cookbook to
achieve perfect results every time.
This microwave oven has the benefit of the Inverter System Inside. This technology has been in use
with microwave ovens in Japan for many years, improving the cooking performance of the oven. It
also means that you benefit from having more space inside your oven, without taking up more room
on your work surface.
Microwaves leave most foods tastier and leave you with less washing up, but donʼt expect to become
a perfect microwave cook overnight – some of the methods are very different to those used in
conven tion al cooking.
Home Economists program the ovens especially for the UK market. The recipes are tested many
times to ensure you achieve successful results at home.
We hope you enjoy using your new oven but should you require any further help or explanation,

Home economists will provide friendly guidance on queries relating to recipes and cooking in your
microwave.
