Operating Instructions for a Panasonic Microwave

Your Panasonic Inverter microwave oven features sensor reheat, turbo defrost and sensor cook options. When pressing buttons on the microwave, listen for a beeping sound to indicate that the unit accepted your instruction; otherwise, the machine may not operate as desired. Obtaining optimal results from microwaved foods cooked in your Panasonic microwave requires learning proper operating procedure.

Instructions

  1. Microwaving Food

    • 1

      Place food into the microwave, in a microwave-safe container.

    • 2

      Push "Power Level" to select the desired power for the microwave cycle. The default power setting is full power. Each time you push the "Power Level" pad, the level will decrease by 10 percent.

    • 3

      Push the numbered pads to indicate the length of cooking time you desire in minutes and seconds. For one minute, press "1," then press "0" two times.

      Push "Start."

    Making Popcorn

      Place the popcorn package in the microwave with the appropriate side facing up as indicated on the package.

    • 6

      Push the button labeled "Popcorn." Each time you press the button, a different bag size will appear on the display. Choose from a 3.5-oz., 3-oz. or 1.75-oz. package size. Stop pressing the button when the desired bag size appears.
