IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following:
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and
injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Read carefully and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" on page 2.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” on page 6.
4. Install or position this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions on page 9.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers -for
example, closed glass jars- can potentially explode and should
not be heated in this oven.
ENGLISH
6. Use this appliance only for the intended uses as described in this
manual. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or
dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used
by children.
8. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
• Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the appliance when
paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside
the oven to facilitate cooking.
• Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bag in oven.
PAGE 3 • SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn
ENGLISH
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 purpose. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food inside the cavity when not in
use.
9. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea can 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.
10. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is difficult to control the
temperature of oil in a microwave oven.
11. Foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole squash, apples
and chestnuts should be pierced with a fork or the tip of a sharp knife before cooking.
12. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should be
stirred or shaken and the temperature should be checked before serving in order to avoid burns.
13. Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred
from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the utensil.
14. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
15. 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.
16. Do not operate this appliance if the cord or plug is damaged, if it
is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
17. Do not immerse cord or plug in water. Keep cord away from
heated surfaces. Do not let cord hang over the edge of a table or counter.
PAGE 4 • SAFETY INFORMATION

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
ENGLISH
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-wire cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
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. The cord provided with this appliance is equipped with a grounding wire and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if:
1) The grounding instructions are not completely understood.
2) You are unsure that the appliance is properly grounded.
3) You have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions.
POWER SUPPLY CORD
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
2. If the power supply cord is too short, do not use an extension cord. Have a
qualified electrician or serviceman to install an outlet near the appliance.
3. If it is absolutely necessary to use longer cord sets or an extension cord, extreme
care must be exercised.
a) Use only a grounding type 3-wire extension cord that
has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
b) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord must equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. 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.
NOTE: Neither Haier nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven
or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
PAGE 6 • SAFETY INFORMATION
COOKWARE AND UTENSIL GUIDE
This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which have limited use, and which should not be used in the microwave at all.
RECOMMENDED
• Microwave browning dish: Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks,
chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.
• Microwaveable plastic wrap: Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some
steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
• Paper towels and napkins: These absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering.
Use for short-term heating and covering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which
may contain metal and could ignite.
• Heat-proof glass or glass-ceramic bowls and dishes: Use for heating or cooking.
• Paper plates and cups: Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not
use recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite.
• Wax paper: Use as a cover to prevent spattering.
• Thermometers: Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions.
Check the temperature of food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwaved food once the food has been removed from the oven.
LIMITED USE
• Aluminum foil: Smooth, narrow strips of foil may be used to shield delicate areas
on food items like drumsticks and wings to prevent overcooking.
NOTE: Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful.
• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware: Use these only if they are labeled “Microwave
Safe”. If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely.
• Plastic: Use only if labeled “Microwave Safe”. Other plastics can melt.
• Straw, wicker, and wood: Use only for short-term heating, such as warming dinner
rolls for a few seconds. Baskets and bowls may be flammable.
