To turn on the light on your Panasonic microwave, locate and press the [Light] pad on your microwave's control panel. The light function typically cycles through different settings, including on and off, with each press of the pad.
The operation of the microwave light can vary slightly based on your specific Panasonic model. Generally, the [Light] pad controls the interior cavity light, providing illumination while cooking or for cleaning.
General Light Operation Steps
For most Panasonic microwaves, the [Light] pad follows a three-state cycle to control the light:
- First Press: Pressing the [Light] pad once will usually turn the light on to its Full brightness setting (white LED).
- Second Press: Pressing the [Light] pad a second time often switches the light to a Duty setting. This might be a dimmer intensity, a pulsed light, or a different operational mode depending on your specific model.
- Third Press: Pressing the [Light] pad a third time will typically turn the light completely off.
This sequential pressing allows you to easily cycle through the available light modes—On (Full), On (Duty/Dim), and Off—to suit your needs.
Specific Models: NN-SG158, NN-SG138, and NN-SU158
For particular Panasonic microwave models, such as the NN-SG158, NN-SG138, and NN-SU158, the light operation is a simpler two-state toggle:
| Number of Presses | Light Status / Setting (NN-SG158, NN-SG138, NN-SU158) |
|---|---|
| One Press | The light turns On (White LED Full). |
| Two Presses | The light turns Off. |
On these specific models, a single press activates the light at full brightness, and a second press directly turns it off, making it a straightforward on/off function.
Always consult your microwave's user manual for the most accurate and model-specific instructions, as exact features can sometimes vary.
