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 counter top or table top 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 the microwave oven to your radio or TV, make sure that the 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.
