Precautions to be taken when using Microwave Ovens for Heating foodstuffs

INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE. A microwave oven should only be used if an inspection confirms all of the following conditions:

1.The door fits squarely and securely and opens and closes smoothly.

2.The door hinges are in good condition.

3.The metal plates of a metal seal on the door are neither buckled nor deformed.

4.The door seals are neither covered with food nor have large burn marks.

PRECAUTIONS. Microwave radiation from microwave ovens can cause harmful effects if the following precautions are not taken:

1.Never tamper with or deactivate the interlocking devices on the door.

2.Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while the oven is operating.

3.Never place saucepans, unopened cans or other heavy metal objects in the oven.

4.Do not let other metallic articles, e.g., fast food foil containers, touch the side of the oven.

5.Clean the oven cavity, the door and the seals with water and a mild detergent at regular intervals. Never use any form of abrasive cleaner that may scratch or scour surfaces around the door.

6.Always use the oven with trays or cookware recommended by the manufacturer.

7.Never operate the oven without a load (i.e., an absorbing material such as food or water) in the oven cavity unless specifically allowed in the manufacturer’s literature.

8.For horizontally hinged doors, never rest heavy objects such as food containers on the door while it is open.

9.Do not place sealed containers in microwave ovens. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or a teat are considered to be sealed containers.

10.This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

11.Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Important Instructions

WARNING—To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or excessive microwave energy:

1.Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.

2.Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers - (for example, closed glass jars and sealed baby bottles with teat) - may explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.

3.Use this microwave oven only for its intended use as described in this manual.

4.As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

5.Do not operate this microwave oven if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.

6.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

(a)Do not overcook food. Carefully attend microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other

combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

(b)Heating therapeutic wheat bags is not recommended. If heating, do not leave unattended and follow manufacturers’ instructions carefully.

(c)Remove wire twist-ties from bags before placing bag in oven.

(d)If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off at the wall switch, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

(e)Never leave microwave unattended while cooking or reheating.

7.Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Earthing Instructions

This microwave oven is equipped with a cord having an earthing wire with an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed.

WARNING—Improper use of the earthing plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

NN-ST780S, NN-ST680S specifications

The Panasonic NN-ST780S and NN-ST680S are two impressive models in the Panasonic microwave range, both designed to enhance cooking convenience and efficiency in modern kitchens. These models incorporate cutting-edge features and technologies that distinguish them in the crowded microwave market.

The NN-ST780S offers a powerful 1,250 watts of cooking power, ensuring quick and uniform cooking results. It comes with inverter technology, a hallmark feature of Panasonic microwaves. This technology allows for consistent cooking at lower power settings, unlike traditional microwaves that cycle on and off. This results in more evenly cooked dishes and prevents overcooking, especially for delicate foods like fish or custards.

Additionally, the NN-ST780S is equipped with a 2.2 cubic feet capacity, making it spacious enough for family-sized meals. Its sleek stainless steel design not only adds an aesthetic appeal but also enhances durability. Users will appreciate the easy-to-use control panel that features sensor cooking capabilities, allowing the microwave to automatically adjust cooking times for various foods, ensuring perfect results every time.

On the other hand, the NN-ST680S offers a slightly more compact design while still delivering a respectable 1,000 watts of power. This model also features inverter technology, perfect for users who need a balance of performance and space. With a 1.2 cubic feet capacity, it fits well in smaller kitchens without compromising on cooking versatility.

Both models come with various pre-programmed cooking options that make meal preparation a breeze. They include settings for popcorn, reheat, and defrost functions, catering to a wide array of cooking needs. The LED lighting ensures that users can easily monitor food as it cooks, while the ceramic enamel interior in both models allows for easy cleaning and prevents the absorption of odors.

In summary, the Panasonic NN-ST780S and NN-ST680S microwaves exemplify the blend of technology and design. With their powerful inverter technology, spacious capacities, and user-friendly features, they represent excellent choices for anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen appliances. Whether you need quick meals or precise cooking, these microwaves deliver both efficiency and performance.
