General Use

1.DO NOT tamper with, or make any adjustments or repairs to, the door, control panel housing, safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven.

DO NOT remove outer panel from oven. Repairs should only be done by qualified service personnel.

2.DO NOT use the microwave function when the oven is empty. The microwave energy will reflect continuously throughout the oven causing overheating, if no food or water is present to absorb energy.

3.DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other non-food products.

4.DO NOT dry clothes, newspapers or other materials in the oven. They may catch on fire.

5.DO NOT use recycled paper products unless the paper product is labelled as safe for microwave oven use. Recycled paper products may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used.

10.Before using the BAKE, COMBINATION or BROIL functions for the first time, wash the interior with a soapy cloth, then operate the oven without food, on BAKE, for 20 minutes at 230°C (450°F). This will allow the oil that is used for rust protection to be burned off.

11.Door and exterior will get hot during BAKE, COMBINATION and BROIL. Please handle door carefully.

12.Use extreme caution when removing oven accessories or cooking containers from oven or disposing of hot grease.

The pre-programmed auto-cook menus offer convenience, allowing users to choose from a wide range of options tailored to specific food items. This feature saves time and ensures optimal results, whether reheating leftovers or cooking a fresh meal.

The microwave’s eco mode is another environmentally friendly innovation, reducing power consumption when the appliance is not in active use. Additionally, the NN-C994S is designed with a stylish stainless steel finish, making it an attractive addition to any kitchen decor.

Safety features are also a priority with the Panasonic NN-C994S. The child lock function provides peace of mind for families, ensuring that little hands won’t accidentally open the microwave or alter settings.
