SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven.

IMPORTANT

Proper cooking depends upon the power, the time setting and quantity of food. If you use a smaller portion than recommended but cook at the time for the recommended portion, fire could result.

1) HOME CANNING / STERILIZING / DRYING FOODS / SMALL QUANTITIES OF FOODS

DO NOT use your oven for home canning. Your oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. The food may be contaminated and then spoil.

DO NOT use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization.

DO NOT dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven. Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, scorch or catch on fire if overheated.

2) POPCORN

Popcorn may be popped in a microwave oven corn popper. Microwave pop- corn which pops in its own package is also available. Follow popcorn manu- facturers’ directions and use a brand suitable for the cooking power of your microwave oven.

CAUTION: When using pre-packaged microwave popcorn, you can follow recommended package instructions or use the popcorn button (refer to page 12). Otherwise, the popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause a fire. Never leave oven unattended when popping popcorn. Allow the popcorn bag to cool before opening, always open the bag facing away from your face and body to prevent steam burns.

3) DEEP FAT FRYING

DO NOT deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Cooking oils may burst into flames and may cause damage to the oven and perhaps result in burns. Microwave utensils may not withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and can shatter or melt.

4) FOODS WITH NONPOROUS SKINS

DO NOT COOK/REHEAT WHOLE EGGS, WITH OR WITHOUT THE SHELL. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating SLICED hard-boiled eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.

Potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with non- porous skins. These types of foods must be pierced before microwave cooking to prevent them from exploding.

CAUTION: Cooking dry or old potatoes can cause fire.

NN-SD688S, NN-SD698S specifications

The Panasonic NN-SD688S and NN-SD698S are two high-performance microwave ovens designed to meet the needs of modern households. With cutting-edge technology and innovative features, these models offer a convenient way to heat, cook, and defrost a variety of foods.

At the heart of both models is the Inverter Technology, which provides consistent and precise cooking power throughout the microwave's cooking time. Unlike traditional microwaves that use a turn-on, turn-off method to regulate cooking power, the inverter system delivers a steady stream of energy. This allows for evenly cooked meals, reduces the chances of overcooking, and ensures delicate items like fish and vegetables retain their texture and flavor.

Both the NN-SD688S and NN-SD698S boast a spacious 1.2 cubic feet capacity, allowing users to easily accommodate large dishes and multiple servings. The sleek and modern stainless steel design ensures these microwaves fit seamlessly into any kitchen décor, while also being easy to clean and maintain.

The microwaves come equipped with an array of smart cooking features, including the Sensor Cook function. This technology automatically detects the steam released from food and adjusts cooking time and power levels accordingly. This feature takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking, ensuring perfectly cooked meals without constant monitoring.

Another standout feature is the Keep Warm function, which helps maintain food temperature without cooking it further. This can be especially useful when preparing multiple dishes or when meals need to be served at different times.

Both models also include a variety of pre-programmed cooking options, providing quick access to commonly prepared items. With one-touch settings for popcorn, pizza, and more, users can select their desired food type and let the microwave handle the rest.

In terms of safety, Panasonic has integrated a child safety lock to prevent accidental operation, which offers peace of mind for families with young children.

In summary, the Panasonic NN-SD688S and NN-SD698S microwaves reflect the brand's commitment to innovative cooking solutions. With features such as Inverter Technology, Sensor Cook, and a sleek design, these models are perfect for those seeking efficiency, convenience, and ease of use in their kitchen appliances. Whether reheating leftovers, cooking fresh meals, or defrosting ingredients, these microwaves offer versatility and reliability, making them essential tools for any modern kitchen.
