Operation & Hints

To Use Sensor Reheat/Sensor Cooking

Accessory needed:

This feature allows you to reheat/cook most of your favorite foods without having to select reheating/cooking times and power levels. The oven does it all automatically.

Ceramic Tray

1 Select Menu

The Sensor Cook Button has 9 menus. See next page.

The Sensor Reheat Button can reheat 4 oz (120 g) to 16 oz (480 g) of food.

For your preferred Sensor Reheat/Cook doneness:

Preferences for food doneness vary with each individual. After having used the Sensor Reheat / Cook feature a few times, you may decide you would prefer your food cooked to a different doneness.

To adjust the Sensor Reheat/Cook time, use More / Less Button.

1 press = More (Adds Approx. 20% time)

2 presses = Less (Subtracts Approx. 20% time)

3 presses = original setting

2 Press

Cooking will start.

After steam is detected by the Genius Sensor, 2 beeps sound.

The remaining cooking time appears in the display window and begins to count down. At the end of cooking, 5 beeps sound.

For best results by Sensor, follow these recommendations.

BEFORE Reheating / cooking:

1.The room temperature surrounding the oven should be below 95˚F (35˚C)

2.Food weight should be between 4 oz (120 g) and 24 oz (720 g).

3.Be sure the Ceramic Tray, the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Residual beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

4.Cover food with lid, or with vented plastic wrap. Never use tightly sealed plastic containers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

DURING Reheating / Cooking:

DO NOT open the oven door until 2 beeps sound and cooking time appears on the Display Window. Doing so will cause inaccurate cooking since the steam from food is no longer contained within the oven cavity. Once the cooking time begins to count down, the oven door may be opened to stir, turn, or rearrange foods.

AFTER Reheating / Cooking

All foods should have a covered stand time.

The Panasonic NN-CD989S is an innovative microwave oven that combines advanced cooking technologies with a sleek design, making it a valuable addition to any modern kitchen. One of the standout features of this model is its inverter technology.

Another significant characteristic of the NN-CD989S is its combination cooking method. This microwave not only functions as a standard microwave but also includes functions for grill and convection cooking. The grill function is perfect for browning and crisping food, while the convection fan circulates hot air around the food for even baking. With a total of 1000 watts of microwave power, and 1300 watts for convection cooking, this appliance offers versatility that can cater to a wide range of culinary needs.

The NN-CD989S is designed with user convenience in mind. It features a large 27-liter capacity, which is ample for family-sized portions or larger dishes. The unit also comes equipped with a user-friendly control panel that includes an LCD display, making it easy to navigate through various cooking modes and settings. Additionally, it offers a variety of pre-programmed auto cook menus, allowing users to prepare meals with the touch of a button.

Safety is also a priority in the design of the NN-CD989S. It includes a child safety lock feature, providing peace of mind for families with young children. Furthermore, the stainless steel exterior not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also makes it easy to clean and maintain.

In summary, the Panasonic NN-CD989S microwave oven is a high-performance kitchen appliance that utilizes innovative inverter technology and combination cooking methods.
