Pizza pan (NN-GD569M / NN-GD559W)
Care of the pan
• Never use any sharp utensils on the pan as this will damage the non-
stick surface.
• After use, wash the pan in hot soapy water and rinse in hot water. Do
not use any abrasive cleaning substances or scouring pads as this
will damage the surface of the pan.
• The pan is dishwasher safe.
NOTES:
1. Do not pre-heat the pan more than 8 minutes.
2. Always place the pan in the centre of the glass tray and ensure it
does not touch the wall of the oven cavity. Failure to do so, may
cause sparking which would damage the cavity.
3. Always use the pan on the glass turntable. Do not use with the wire
rack.
4. Always use the pizza pan handle or oven gloves when handling the
hot pan.
5. Ensure all food packaging is removed before cooking.
6. Do not place any heat-sensitive materials on the hot pan as this
may cause burning.
7. The pan can be used in a conventional oven.
8. For best results, use the pan in COMBINATION GRILL and
MICROWAVE.
The ʻconceptʼ
Some foods cooked by microwave can have soft and soggy crusts. Your
pizza pan accessory will brown and crisp pizzas, quiches, pies, breaded
products just as a conventional oven. Your Panasonic pizza pan works in
three ways: heating the pan by absorbing microwaves, heating the food
directly by microwaves and heating the food by the grill. The base of the
pan absorbs the microwaves and transfers them into heat. Then the heat
is conducted through the pan to the food. The heating effect is maximised
by the non-stick surface.
Using the pizza pan (Manual operation)
• For best results, pre-heat the pan before using. Place directly on the
glass turntable and pre-heat on Combination 1 (Grill 1 + 600 Watt) for 3
minutes. To assist browning, brush the pan with oil before preheating for
items such as sausages and beefburgers.
• Remove the pan from the oven and place the food in the pan.
Use the pizza pan handle or oven gloves as the pan will be very hot.
For best results, it is important that the food is placed on the pan
immediately after pre-heating. Performance cannot be guaranteed with a
time delay.
• Place the pan on the glass turntable and cook according to the
guidelines shown in the cooking chart in the cookbook.
