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 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
Power Supply Cord

1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used:
   a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
   b) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
   c) If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-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.
