FAQs
What is Inverter Technology and how does it benefit my cooking?
Inverter Technology delivers a continuous stream of cooking power at 100% for defrosting and lower power settings. This means food cooks more evenly, retains more moisture and flavour, and nutrients are better preserved compared to microwaves that cycle power on and off.
Can I use metal containers in this microwave?
No, you should not use metal containers or cookware with metallic trim. Metal can cause sparking (arcing) and damage the microwave or pose a fire risk.
How do I clean the stainless steel exterior?
Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For best results and to maintain shine, use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner and polish, following the product instructions.
What are the dimensions of the microwave and does it require specific clearance?
The microwave has a generous 32-litre capacity. Please refer to the product manual for exact external dimensions and recommended clearance space around the unit for safe and efficient operation.
How do the Auto Programmes work?
Auto Programmes are preset cooking or reheating cycles. You select the type of food and its weight (if prompted), and the microwave automatically sets the appropriate power level and cooking time for optimal results.
Is this microwave suitable for defrosting frozen meals?
Yes, the Auto Defrost function is designed for this. It uses weight sensing to determine the optimal defrosting time, providing perfectly thawed food ready for cooking.
What is the warranty period for this Panasonic microwave?
Warranty information can vary. Please consult your product documentation or the Panasonic website for the most accurate warranty details applicable to your region.
