Questions about Panasonic NN-DS596MWPG Steam Plus Compact

I do not see any difference. The dimensions are identical, but presented differently. Same microwave and same dimensions. Specifications Panasonic Homepage Cooking chamber dimensions (W x D x H) 335 x 350 x 238 mm Product dimensions (W x D x H) 512 x 400 x 347 mm Specifications Galaxus Homepage Cooking chamber Interior width 33.50 cm Interior height 23.8 cm Interior depth 35 cm Product dimensions i Width 51.2 cm Height 34.7 cm Depth 40 cm

Yes. Everything that fits in can go in.

It shouldn't be like that. In my case, the door rubbers seal so well that no steam escapes through the closed door. Unless the door or its frame still has some protective film on it from transport, it is probably a case for the warranty.

W(PG) stands for Swiss edition, E stands for European edition. Possibly because of the power cable.

This is limescale in the system and F1 programme or microwave soup plate with lemon/water will not help. You must use the SYSTEM CLEANING programme F2. See the operating instructions on page 62. In the first phase of this programme, the system is cleaned with a citric acid solution. In the second phase, water runs through the system to rinse the pipes. 1 Prepare a solution of 16 g citric acid (available in pharmacies or drugstores) and 200 g (2 dl) water and pour the solution into the water tank. Make sure that the drip tray is empty. 2 Press 'System cleaning' twice until the programme 'F2 SYSTEM CLEANING' appears in the display. 3 Press Start. The programme runs for about 29 minutes. 4 When the programme stops, empty the drip tray and fill the water tank with water again (up to the maximum mark). 5 Press Start. The programme runs for about 1 minute. Empty the drip tray when the programme has finished. The limescale is then removed. If the SYSTEM CLEANING PROGRAMME is not carried out regularly, the pipes will become clogged and the performance of the steam function will decrease.

As long as they are, as you say, heat-resistant things, it's not a problem. We mainly use the appliance as an oven. And it often has things on it. It certainly gets very hot, but you don't burn yourself.

No, the special tray supplied is used for this, which is heated from below by the microwaves and works like a bottom heater. I think it's called Panacrunch...

Unfortunately, I don't know that either. But it's good to know that it's about to dent. Why don't you call the manufacturer's representative in Switzerland or write an e-mail to the information.

You can also order certain accessories via the Service Centre (for Panaosic it is ALSO Switzerland). I did this with another model. So just ask there.

Unfortunately, we do not have this item on display in any of our branches as we are currently prioritising other items in our display. Sorry. However, as soon as an item is on display in our shops, it will be marked "Showroom" and you will be able to view it in a shop.

1) As long as the distances mentioned in the manual are kept to the sides, back and top, I don't see a problem. During daily microwave use, the appliance does not get particularly warm on the outer surfaces. 2 I can't judge. But the appliance is basically a normal steamer. If you were able to heat the dish with another steamer, it should also work with this one. However, steaming always produces a relatively large amount of condensation, which is why it is probably less suitable for reheating pre-cooked dishes.

Hello Then I would recommend a sous vide cooker. In my opinion, the appliance is not suitable for this. With kind regards Daniel

Unfortunately not. But adapters are available on the market.

Thank you for the answer. I find it quite relevant though, as I have seen many great recipes using the steamer. When it says 60 degrees or 95 degrees, I would love to know what level of steam that corresponds to. Or how do you do it?
