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.

NN-ST557W, NN-ST557M specifications

The Panasonic NN-ST557M and NN-ST557W are exemplary microwave ovens offering a blend of advanced technology and practical design, making them suitable for modern kitchens. Both models are noted for their stylish appearance, characterized by sleek finishes and intuitive interfaces, which enhance their usability in daily cooking tasks.

One of the key features of both models is the Inverter technology. This innovative system provides a continuous flow of cooking power, allowing for even heating and precise temperature control.

This is particularly beneficial for delicate items like fish or sauce, which require gentle heating to avoid overcooking.

Another significant feature is the one-touch sensor cooking. This technology simplifies meal preparation by automatically adjusting cooking times and power levels based on the food's moisture levels. Whether you are reheating leftovers or cooking a full meal, this feature removes the guesswork, ensuring optimal results every time.

The NN-ST557M and NN-ST557W also boast a large capacity, accommodating larger dishes and satisfying family-sized meals. The spacious interior allows for the flexibility to prepare multiple portions at once, enhancing the convenience for busy users. Additionally, both models feature a user-friendly control panel, complete with tactile buttons and a digital display, making navigation straightforward.

Cleaning and maintenance are made easy with the non-stick interior and removable turntable. The easy-to-clean surfaces help to maintain hygiene and reduce the time spent on upkeep. Moreover, the compact size of the microwave allows for easy placement on countertops without taking up unnecessary space.

Both models come equipped with various preset cooking programs that cater to specific food types, further enhancing their versatility in the kitchen. From popcorn and baked potatoes to defrosting meat, these programmable settings offer convenience and reliability.

In summary, the Panasonic NN-ST557M and NN-ST557W microwave ovens are distinguished by their innovative inverter technology, user-friendly features, and spacious design.
