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.The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

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

NN-ST657S, NN-ST657 W, NN-ST667W, NN-ST677M specifications

The Panasonic NN-ST677M, NN-ST657W, NN-ST667W, and NN-ST657S are part of Panasonic's innovative lineup of microwave ovens, each designed to enhance cooking convenience while delivering superior performance. These models are distinguished by their advanced technologies, user-friendly features, and sleek designs, making them ideal for modern kitchens.

One of the standout features across these models is the inverter technology. Unlike traditional microwaves that use a power on/off mechanism to control cooking power, Panasonic's inverter technology provides a seamless flow of cooking power at all settings. This ensures that food is cooked evenly, preventing hot spots and overcooked edges. The inverter system is particularly effective for delicate tasks like defrosting and reheating, where consistent temperatures are crucial.

The NN-ST677M, for example, boasts a spacious 34-liter capacity, making it suitable for families and those who often cook in larger quantities. It features a sleek silver finish that complements any kitchen decor. This model is equipped with a variety of auto-cook programs, allowing users to prepare a wide array of meals with just a touch of a button.

The NN-ST657W and NN-ST667W are similarly designed, offering 25-liter capacities. These models provide multiple power levels, giving users the flexibility to customize cooking according to their specific needs. The stylish white and silver finishes of the NN-ST657W and NN-ST667W, respectively, make them attractive additions to any countertop.

On the other hand, the NN-ST657S features a stainless-steel finish that adds a touch of elegance to its robust functionality. This model is user-friendly, thanks to its intuitive control panel and easy-to-read display. The inclusion of a child lock function further enhances safety in family households.

In all four models, the turntable design ensures that food is cooked uniformly, while the easy-to-clean interiors simplify maintenance. Panasonic has also integrated a variety of cooking modes, such as grill and combination heating, providing users with versatile cooking options.

To conclude, the Panasonic NN-ST677M, NN-ST657W, NN-ST667W, and NN-ST657S stand out for their advanced inverter technology, spacious designs, and aesthetic finishes. With their user-friendly controls and safety features, these microwaves are perfect for anyone looking to elevate their cooking experience in a fast-paced world. Whether you’re reheating leftovers or preparing a gourmet meal, these models deliver exceptional results and convenience.
