Part replacement, Verification after repair

Discharging the high voltage capacitors

WARNING

There is high voltage present with high current capabilities in the circuits of the primary and secondary windings, choke coil and heat sinkof the inverter. It is extremely dangerous to work on or near these circuits with the oven energized. DO NOT measure the voltage in the high voltage circuit including the filament voltage of the magnetron.

WARNING

Never touch any circuit wiring with your hand or with an insulated tool during operation.

3.3.Part replacement.

When troubleshooting any part or component is to be replaced, always ensure that the power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet.

3.4.When the 20A fuse is blown due to the malfunction of the monitor interlock switch:

WARNING

When the 20A 120V fuse is blown due to the malfunction of the monitor interlock switch, replace all of the components (primary latch switch, monitor interlock switch and power relay RY1).

1.This is mandatory. Refer to “measurements and adjustments” for the location of these switches.

2.When replacing the fuse, confirm that it has the appropriate rating for these models.

3.When replacing faulty switches, be sure the mounting tabs are not bent, broken or deficient in their ability to hold the switches.

3.5.Avoid inserting nails, wire etc. through any holes in the unit during operation.

Never insert a wire, nail or any other metal object through the lamp holes on the cavity or any holes or gaps, because such objects may work as an antenna and cause microwave leakage.

3.6.Verification after repair

1.After repair or replacement of parts, make sure that the screws of the oven, etc. are neither loosen or missing. Microwave energy might leak if screws are not properly tightened.

2.Make sure that all electrical connections are tight before inserting the plug into the wall outlet.

3.Check for microwave energy leakage. (Refer to procedure for measuring microwave energy leakage).

CAUTION OF MICROWAVE RADIATION LEAKAGE

USE CAUTION NOT TO BECOME EXPOSED TO RADIATION FROM THE MICROWAVE MAGNETRON OR OTHER PARTS CONDUCTING MICROWAVE ENERGY.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

1.The following components have potentials above 2000V while the appliance is operated.

•Magnetron

•High voltage transformer (Located on inverter (U))

•High voltage diodes (Located on inverter (U))

•High voltage capacitors (Located on inverter (U)) Pay special attention to these areas.

2.When the appliance is operated with the door hinges or

magnetron installed incorrectly, the microwave leakage can exceed more than 5mW/cm2. After repair or exchange, it is very important to check if the magnetron and the door hinges are correctly installed.

3.7.Sharp edges

CAUTION

Please use caution when disassembling or reassembling internal parts. Some exposed edges may be sharp to the touch and can cause injury if not handled with care.

NN-ST658W, NN-ST678S, NN-SD698S specifications

The Panasonic NN-SD688S and NN-SD698S are two high-performance microwave ovens designed to meet the needs of modern households. With cutting-edge technology and innovative features, these models offer a convenient way to heat, cook, and defrost a variety of foods.

At the heart of both models is the Inverter Technology, which provides consistent and precise cooking power throughout the microwave's cooking time. Unlike traditional microwaves that use a turn-on, turn-off method to regulate cooking power, the inverter system delivers a steady stream of energy. This allows for evenly cooked meals, reduces the chances of overcooking, and ensures delicate items like fish and vegetables retain their texture and flavor.

Both the NN-SD688S and NN-SD698S boast a spacious 1.2 cubic feet capacity, allowing users to easily accommodate large dishes and multiple servings. The sleek and modern stainless steel design ensures these microwaves fit seamlessly into any kitchen décor, while also being easy to clean and maintain.

The microwaves come equipped with an array of smart cooking features, including the Sensor Cook function. This technology automatically detects the steam released from food and adjusts cooking time and power levels accordingly. This feature takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking, ensuring perfectly cooked meals without constant monitoring.

Another standout feature is the Keep Warm function, which helps maintain food temperature without cooking it further. This can be especially useful when preparing multiple dishes or when meals need to be served at different times.

Both models also include a variety of pre-programmed cooking options, providing quick access to commonly prepared items. With one-touch settings for popcorn, pizza, and more, users can select their desired food type and let the microwave handle the rest.

In terms of safety, Panasonic has integrated a child safety lock to prevent accidental operation, which offers peace of mind for families with young children.

In summary, the Panasonic NN-SD688S and NN-SD698S microwaves reflect the brand's commitment to innovative cooking solutions. With features such as Inverter Technology, Sensor Cook, and a sleek design, these models are perfect for those seeking efficiency, convenience, and ease of use in their kitchen appliances. Whether reheating leftovers, cooking fresh meals, or defrosting ingredients, these microwaves offer versatility and reliability, making them essential tools for any modern kitchen.
