Welcome to Panasonic Microwave Cooking
This microwave oven has the benefit of the Inverter System Inside. This unique
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. Panasonic has introduced the UK’s first cooking appliance providing
complete versatility with four cooking technologies in one single oven including
combi steam technology.
We hope you enjoy using your new oven but should you require any further help
