31.6 Cu. Ft. Microwave Ovenwww.insigniaproducts.comPRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY: 1Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open because this can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.2Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.3Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the:(a) door (bent)(b) hinges and latches (broken or loosened)(c) door seals and sealing surfaces4The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1Read all instructions before using the oven.2Read and follow the specific: “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY:” found on page 3.3As with any cooking appliance, close supervision is necessary to reduce the risk of a fire in the oven cavity and especially when the oven is used by children.4To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:• Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the oven when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.• Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic containers/bags before placing them in the oven.• If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed. Turn the oven off and unplug the oven or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.WarningTo reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave oven energy when using your oven, follow these basic safety precautions.NS-MW16SS8_17-0351_MAN_V1_ENG.fm Page 3 Tuesday, June 13, 2017 6:40 PM
4NS-MW16SS8www.insigniaproducts.com• Do not use the oven cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.5This oven must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 5.6Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.7Some products, such as whole eggs and sealed containers (for example closed glass jars), are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.8Use this oven only for its intended purpose, as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this oven. This oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.9Do not operate this oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.10 This oven should be serviced only by qualified service technicians.

Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the 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 the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.• Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.NS-MW16SS8_17-0351_MAN_V1_ENG.fm Page 4 Tuesday, June 13, 2017 6:40 PM
51.6 Cu. Ft. Microwave Ovenwww.insigniaproducts.comSAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONSGROUNDING INSTRUCTIONSThis oven 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 oven 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.Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the oven. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the oven.• 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 set 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 oven.• The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.• 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.WARNINGHandling the power cord on this oven, or cords associated with accessories sold with this oven, will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash your hands after handling.WARNINGElectric Shock HazardTouching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this oven.Improper grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until the oven is properly installed and grounded.NS-MW16SS8_17-0351_MAN_V1_ENG.fm Page 5 Tuesday, June 13, 2017 6:40 PM
