  • Insignia™ 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave

Q: Does this have outside venting .......exhaust ?

A: Yes this Microwave can be vented to the outside. This microwave can either be vented through the back wall the ceiling. This microwave can also be vented into the kitchen via a filter.

Q: Is there a way to turn off the annoying beep on this unit

A: I just installed mine 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately the "done" tone seems to be factory set. I'm with you, very loud and too repetitive.

Q: does this have lighting?

A: Yes and it’s really awesome LED lighting underneath the unit on the left and right side. It beautifully illuminates the stove top yet isn’t blinding.

Q: what is the warranty on this appliance compared to big brand names?

A: It has a 1 year manufacturers warranty. However, mine had a fire under the turntable about 6 weeks after install. I’m still waiting for the parts that were ordered. Best Buy says if the parts don’t come within a month of my first call they will replace it. I’m sure the parts ordered without even looking at the damage are not going to fix it. It may have been worth it to get the extended warranty. But, I have no confidence this product is going to last. Very disappointed in both the product and Best Buy service right now.

Q: when the door opens, does it go any wider than when shut? thanks.

A: YES ABOUT 1/2 INCH ON THE HINGE SIDE WHICH IS THE LEFT SIDE WHEN FACING THE UNIT.
