- Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers (closed glass jars, for example) are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.
- Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
- As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
- To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
- Do not overcook food. Carefully monitor the appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
- Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing the bag in the oven.
- If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off, and disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
- Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
- Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea can be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from your microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
- Do not overheat the liquid.
- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
- Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
- After heating, allow the container to stand in your microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
- Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is difficult to control the temperature of oil in your microwave oven.
- Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole squash, apples, and chestnuts before cooking.
- The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature should be checked before serving in order to avoid burns.
- Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.
- Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
- Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water, for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations.
- Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or a plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
- Do not immerse the cord or plug in water. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter.
- Use only thermometers which are specifically designed for use in microwave ovens.
- Be certain the glass tray and roller rings are in place when you operate the oven.
- This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- When cleaning surfaces of the door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps, or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
- VENTILATING HOODS:
- clean ventilating hoods frequently-grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
- When cooking foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
- Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter.
- To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install only above electric cooking equipment. If the over-the-cooktop microwave oven is intended to be used with either a gas or electric range, the following words or the equivalent shall be included: Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking equipment.
Unpacking instructions
Carefully remove your microwave from the box. Save the box as it may make
installation easier.

See the Installation Guide for more information.
Grounding instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
Electrical requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60Hz, AC only, 20 amp outlet. It
is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the oven be provided. The
oven is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a
wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
Power Supply Cord
- A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
- Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
- If a long cord or extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
- The extension cord must be a grounding-type three-wire cord, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
- If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three-wire extension cord that has a three-blade grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
Notes: If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.
Insignia does not accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
Radio or TV interference
Should there be any interference caused by your microwave oven to your
radio or TV, make sure that your microwave oven is on a different circuit.
Relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check the
position and signal of the receiving antenna.
Cookware and cooking materials

mild soap and water, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type
of household or abrasive cleaner.
Door
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or
spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a
damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain,
streak, or dull the door surface.

If the control panel is dirty, open the microwave door before cleaning.
Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft
cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close the door and
press Stop to clear any buttons you may have pressed
Cleaning the inside of your microwave
Interior
Wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners
or scouring pads. For baked-on food, use baking soda or a mild soap, then
rinse thoroughly with hot water.
Waveguide cover
The waveguide cover is located on the right side of the microwave cavity. It
is made from mica and requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to
assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food
spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up
splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT REMOVE
THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.
Removing odors
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in your microwave. To remove, combine
one cup water, the grated peel and juice of one lemon, and several whole
cloves in a two-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100%
power, then let it cool in your microwave. Wipe the interior with a soft
cloth.
Turntable and turntable support
Remove the turntable and turntable support and wash them in mild, sudsy water.
For stubborn stains, use a mild cleanser and non-abrasive scouring sponge. You
can also wash them in the top rack of a dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft

Agitate and scrub the filters with a brush to remove embedded dirt.
-
Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.
-
Replace by fitting the filters back into the opening.
Replacing the charcoal filter
A charcoal filter is used for a nonvented, recirculated installation. The
filter should be changed every 6 to 12 months depending on use.
