Over-the-Range Convection Microwave
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a high-quality Insignia product. Your NS-OTRC15SS9 represents the state of the art in
microwave design and is designed for reliable and trouble-free performance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
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 pag e 4 .
3 This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “
Grounding instructions” on pa g e 4.
4 Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
5 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 microwave.
6 Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in the 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.
7 As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
8 Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or
dropped.
9 This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair, or adjustment.
10 Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11 Do not store 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 location.
12 Do not immerse the cord or plug in water.
13 Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
14 Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
15 When cleaning the surface between the door and the compartment, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps, or detergent
applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
16 To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
• Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to the appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are
placed inside the oven.
• Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing them in the oven.
• If material inside of the oven ignites, 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.
17 Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea, may overheat beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD
RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUID SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
• 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.
18 Do not mount over the sink.
19 Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance surface when the appliance is in operation.
20 Oversized food or oversided, metal utensils should not be inserted in a microwave as they may create fire or risk of
electric shock.
21 Do not use paper products when the appliance is operated in convection mode.
22 Do not store any materials, other than the manufacturer's recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
23 Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
24 Clean ventilation hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
25 When cooking foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

the filter.
27 Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking equipment.
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.
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:
• 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 3-wire cord.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Radio interference
1 Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, T V, or similar equipment.
2 When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:
• Clean the door and sealing surface of the oven.
• Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
• Move the receiver away from the microwave.
• Plug the receiver into a different outlet so that the microwave and receiver are on different branch circuits.
Precautions to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy
1 Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since 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 particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is
no damage to the:
•Door (bent)
• Hinges and latches (broken or loosened)
• Door seals and sealing surface
4 The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
DANGER - Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal components can cause serious
personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.
WARNING - Electric Shock Hazard
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in electric shock. Do
not plug into an outlet until the appliance 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 appliance is properly grounded.

Materials you can use
Materials to be avoided
WAR NIN G
• Personal Injury Hazard: Tightly-closed containers could explode. Closed containers should be opened and plastic pouches should be
pierced before cooking.
MATERIAL REMARKS
Aluminum foil
Use as shielding only. Small, smooth pieces can be used to cover thin parts of meat or
poultry to prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is wrinkled or too close to
oven walls. The foil should be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from oven walls.
Browning dish
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The bottom of the browning dish must be at
least 3/16-in. (5mm) above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the turntable to
break.
Dinnerware
Use microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Do not use cracked or
chipped dishes.
Glass jars
Always remove the lid. Use only to heat food until just warm. Most glass jars are not heat
resistant and may break.
Glassware
Use heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure that there is no metallic trim. Do not
use cracked or chipped dishes.
Oven cooking bags
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not close with a metal tie. Make slits to allow
steam to escape.
Paper plates and cups
Use for short–term cooking/warming only. Do not leave the oven unattended while
cooking.
Paper towels
Use to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. Use with supervision for short-term
cooking only.
Parchment paper Use as a cover to prevent splattering or a wrap for steaming.
