This document is an operating manual for Panasonic Microwave Ovens, specifically models NN-6507, NN-5507, and NN-5557. These are household appliances designed for cooking, reheating, and defrosting food using microwave energy.
Function Description:
The microwave ovens are primarily used for cooking, reheating, and defrosting various food items. They feature a control panel that allows users to set cooking times, power levels, and utilize pre-programmed functions. Key functions include:
- Auto Weight Defrost: This feature allows for defrosting food based on its weight, with categories for mince/chops, lamb/poultry, pork, and fish. The oven automatically calculates the defrosting time.
- Auto Weight Cook: Similar to defrost, this function cooks food based on its weight for categories like beef (rare, medium, well), lamb (medium), pork, poultry, and fish.
- Auto Reheat: Designed to reheat 1 to 4 servings of food without requiring manual setting of cooking times or power levels. Categories include casserole, plated meal, and pastry items.
- Cyclic Defrost: A manual defrosting option where the user sets the defrosting time. The defrost power is approximately 240 watts.
- Time Cooking: Allows for setting specific cooking times, supporting one-stage, two-stage, or three-stage cooking.
- Stand Time: This feature allows the oven to stand for a programmed duration after cooking is completed, up to 9 hours and 99 minutes.
- Delay Start: Enables programming a delay before cooking begins, up to 9 hours and 99 minutes.
The oven features an oven window, a door safety lock system, oven air vents, a control panel, a glass tray, a roller ring, and a name plate. The glass tray and roller ring facilitate even cooking by rotating the food.

Important Safety Precautions:
- Always ensure the appliance is properly earthed and connected to a wall socket that is not earthed.
- Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, especially if the door, door seals, or oven air vents are cracked or damaged.
- Never use metal containers or foil in the microwave oven, as this can cause arcing and damage the appliance.
- Do not boil eggs in their shell, as they may explode.
- Puncture foods with skin or membrane (e.g., potatoes, apples, sausages) before cooking to prevent bursting.
- Always check the temperature of food, especially poultry, to ensure it is thoroughly cooked.
- Do not attempt to deep fry in the microwave oven.
- Avoid placing paper, plastic, or other combustible materials inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
- Remove wire twist-ties from bags before placing them in the oven.
- Be cautious when cooking puddings with a high fat and sugar content, as they can ignite.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: The oven should be cleaned regularly to prevent excessive noise from the roller ring and glass tray. The exterior, interior, door seals, and control panel should be wiped with a soft, damp cloth. Mild detergent can be used if necessary. The glass tray and roller ring can be washed in warm soapy water or a dishwasher.
- Roller Ring and Oven Cavity Floor: These should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise.
- Ventilation: Ensure the oven air vents are not blocked to allow proper ventilation.
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides a Q&A section for common issues such as the oven not turning on, tripping the circuit breaker, unusual noises, or the oven not accepting a program. For example, if the oven does not turn on, check the plug, fuse, and ensure the door is securely closed. If the roller ring and oven bottom are dirty, frequent cleaning is recommended to reduce noise.
The appliance is designed for built-in installation using a specific trim kit (NN-K607 or NN-K608 for NN-6507, and NN-K507 for NN-5507/NN-5557). Adequate air circulation around the oven is crucial for proper function and cooling.
