Panasonic NN-SD681S Stainless-Steel 1.2-Cubic-Foot 1200-Watt Inverter Microwave Oven
The Genius Prestige Countertop/Built-In Microwave Oven
With its stainless-steel door and silver wrap, this 1200-watt microwave oven by Panasonic makes a stylish and convenient addition to any contemporary kitchen. The 1.2-cubic-foot unit with its 13-1/2-inch turntable excellently cooks and evenly heats anything from breakfast foods and after-school snacks to dinnertime meals and appetizers when entertaining. Ideal for busy professionals and on-the-go families, the microwave oven provides quick and easy meal preparation while nicely accommodating and enhancing surrounding decor.
Inverter Technology
Moving Beyond Just "Heating Things Up"
Many people just use their microwaves for making popcorn or warming up soup because most microwaves just have one temperature setting--high. Conventional microwave ovens might have a low-power setting, but this is achieved by "pulsing" the high-power setting on and off rather than by emitting a steady stream of low-powered energy.
The countertop microwave can be installed in the wall using an optional matching trim kit.
(Trim kit shown may not represent actual trim kit.)
Panasonic's trailblazing Inverter technology delivers true, variable microwave power, which means even temperatures and consistent textures throughout the food being cooked. The consistent delivery of microwave energy allows delicate foods to simmer without the edges and surfaces overcooking, so foods have the look and taste you expect--without the wait.
The oven makes it easy to bake Cheese Cake and other delicious desserts.
The Inverter microwave oven perfects the art of cooking, taking microwave cooking to a whole new level. You'll experience delicious food that better retains its color, nutrients, and flavor and that's easier and faster to prepare. Oh, and you can still make great popcorn.
Single, Compact Power Supply
Furthermore, the Inverter power unit is smaller and lighter than conventional microwave circuitry (aka the heavy, enclosed side of the microwave), which allows for more interior space to fit that favorite casserole dish, without increasing the oven's overall exterior dimensions. Weighing just 25-1/2 pounds, the oven's roomy interior measures 14-3/8 inches long by 13-15/16 inches wide by 9-15/16 inches high, while its compact exterior measures 15-13/16 inches long by 20-11/16 inches wide by 12-1/4 inches high.
Additional Features
Genius Microwave
With the touch of Panasonic's Sensor Cooking button, the microwave takes the guesswork out of creating a great meal, by automatically setting power levels and adjusting cooking or defrosting time.
The sensor measures the amount of steam produced during cooking, and signals the microprocessor to calculate the remaining cooking time at the appropriate power level automatically.
Inverter Turbo Defrost
Panasonic evolved the Turbo Defrost feature, which allows you to defrost foods even faster than previous Panasonic Auto Defrost. Panasonic Inverter Turbo Defrost technology is an advanced microwave sequencing system using the inverter continuous-power delivery method.
Inverter Melt-Soften Button
This feature allows you to melt or soften a variety of foods such as butter, cream cheese, ice cream, and chocolate.
One-Touch Sensor Cook and Reheat
The Sensor adjusts power levels and calculates cooking and reheating times--automatically--for various food types like omelets, pasta, frozen entrees, potatoes, vegetables, beverages, and more.
Pop-Out Dial
With a spin of the dial, the easy-to-use pop-out dial is a departure from the standard keypad found on most microwave ovens.
Keep Warm Feature
A pulsing delivery of very low microwave power keeps food temperatures at a constant level--without overcooking. So, foods like stew, gravy, and desserts remain warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes after cooking.
Blue LED Display
4-digit neon blue LED display provides a high-end look that complements any kitchen decor.
Clock/Timer
Time-of-day clock and timer provide exceptional convenience.
Push-Button Door Release and Stainless Steel Front
Elegant, attractive, and easy-to-open, the microwave will look its best even when preparing some of the messiest recipes.
Child-Safety Lock
For safety, the child lock prevents electronic operation (door still opens). Press Start three times to lock (a key symbol will be displayed); press Stop/Reset three times to cancel.
Trim Kit (optional)
The Prestige countertop microwave can be installed in the wall using an optional matching trim kit accessory (27-inch model NN-TK621SS).
Good Housekeeping Seal
Awarded the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval and covered by a two-year limited warranty.
User-friendly control panel with blue read-out digital display.
Please Note: upper-left corner of the door has a small indentation to allow the door to open smoothly.
