Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a high-quality Insignia product. Your

NS-MW07WH0 or NS-MW07BK0 represents the state of the art in microwave

design and is designed for reliable and trouble-free performance.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

1 Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door

operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

2 Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil

or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

3 Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is very important that the oven

door close properly and that there is no damage to the a) Door (including any dents),

b) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened), c) Door seals and sealing surfaces.

4 The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except qualified

service personnel

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or

exposure to excessive microwave energy:

1 Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2 Read and follow the specific PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY on page 3.

3 This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet.

See GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 6.

4 Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided

installation instructions.

5 Do not operate the oven when empty.

6 Some 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.

NS-MW07WH0/NS-MW07BK0

7 Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not

use corrosive chemicals or vapors 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.

8 As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

9 To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

b) Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

c) If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse circuit breaker panel.

d) Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use.

10 Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the

boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. 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 A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to person:

a) Do not overheat the liquid. b) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it. c) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. d) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a

short time before removing the container. e) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

11 Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is difficult to control the temperature

of oil in microwave oven.

12 Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

13 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.

14 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.

15 Do not immerse cord or plug in water. Keep cord away from heated surface.

Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

16 This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel, contact

nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

17 When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes together on closing the

door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps, or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces 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 and 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.

Electrical Requirements

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. 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 outlet properly installed and grounded.

Power 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 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 counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

1 Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the

door.

2 This microwave oven must be placed on a flat surface.

3 For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 8 in.

(20 cm) of space above the oven, 4 in. (10 cm) at back and 2 in. (5 cm) at both sides. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance. Do not remove feet on which oven stands.

4 The appliance shall be only used on a countertop over 3 feet (91.4 cm) above

the floor.

5 Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller support, and shaft in their

proper positions.

oven or over any hot or sharp surface.

unplugged in an emergency.

Cookware and cooking materials

WARNING: Tightly-closed containers can explode. Open closed containers and

pierce plastic pouches before cooking.

Cookware and other materials must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders because cookware may become hot.
