Microwave Oven
Household Use Only

Model Number: NN-SF574S

NN-SF564W

Please read these instructions carefully before using this

product, and save this manual for future use.
We are glad you have chosen to purchase a Panasonic microwave oven. Before operating this oven, please
read these instructions carefully and completely, and keep them for further reference.

If you have only used a microwave oven for reheating and defrosting, with Panasonic’s Inverter Technology you
can be reassured of excellent results when cooking a variety of foods, as the ‘soft’ penetration of microwave
energy to the centre of food helps prevent over cooking on edges and surfaces. Foods can now be gently
simmered without the concern of boil over.

After reading the introductory chapter, we are sure you will be able to master the basic techniques and thereby
develop a firm understanding of your new oven. This book includes recipes from starters to desserts. After trying
our recipes be sure to adapt your favourite recipes to microwave methods.

Start experimenting now, and enjoy the first class results you will achieve by using your new microwave oven.

 Defrosting Tips and Techniques
Preparation for Freezing:
1. Heavy-duty plastic wraps, bags and freezer wrap are suitable.
2. Freeze meats, poultry and fish in packages with only 1 or 2 layers of food. To aid in separating layers,
place two pieces of wax paper between them.
3. REMOVE ALL AIR and seal securely.
4. LABEL package with type and cut of meat, date and weight.
5. Defrosting times given in the charts are for thoroughly frozen foods (i.e. at least 24 hours in freezer
maintained at -18 °C or lower).

Defrosting Technique:
1. Remove from wrapper and set on a defrosting rack in a dish on the flat table.
2. On Turbo Defrost, the oven will beep during the defrosting time. At “beep”, turn over all meat, poultry,
fish and shellfish. Break apart stewing meat, chicken pieces and minced meat. Separate chops and
hamburger patties.Shield thin ends of roasts, poultry legs and wings, fat or bones with foil.
3. Throughout the defrosting time, remove any defrosted portions of mince or cubed meat, etc.
4. After defrosting, large roasts may still be icy in the centre. Let stand, 15 to 30 minutes, in refrigerator to
complete defrosting.
