CONTAINER TEST

TO TEST A CONTAINER FOR SAFE MICROWAVE OVEN USE: Fill a microwave safe cup with cool water and place it in the microwave oven alongside the empty container to be tested; heat one (1) minute at P10 (HIGH). If the container is microwave oven safe (transparent to microwave energy), the empty container should remain comfortably cool and the water should be hot. If the container is hot, it has absorbed some microwave energy and should NOT be used. This test cannot be used for plastic containers.

For those looking for smart features, the NN-SN676 and NN-SN677 offer a range of one-touch buttons for popular dishes, streamlining meal preparation. These models feature easy-to-read LED displays, allowing users to monitor cooking times effortlessly. The keep-warm function is another compelling aspect, maintaining the desired temperature of cooked food until ready to serve.

Safety is an essential consideration in kitchen appliances, and Panasonic has integrated child safety locks in these models, providing peace of mind for families. Additionally, the compact designs of these microwaves make them suitable for smaller kitchens without compromising performance.
