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 page 2.

3. Select a level surface that provides enough open space for the intake and/or outlet vents. A minimum
clearance of 3 inches is required between the oven and any adjacent wall. One side must be open. Leave a
minimum clearance of 3 inches above the oven. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance. Do not
remove feet from the bottom of the oven. This appliance must be grounded. Connected only to properly
grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" on page 4.

4. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers, for example, closed glass jars may explode and
should not be heated in this oven.

5. 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.

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

7. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance if 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 o

disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or 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.

8. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated 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 LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE
CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

9. Do not deep fry food in the microwave. It is difficult to control the fat which could cause a fire hazard.
Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole squash, apples and chestnuts before cooking.

10.

11. The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature should be
checked before serving in order to avoid burns.

12. Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Potholders may be
needed to handle the utensil.

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

14. 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, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

15. 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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

hock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Electrical Requirements

The oven must be plugged into at least 15 amp, 120 volts, 60 Hz grounded outlet. 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 receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.

Extension Cord

We do not recommend to use an extension cord. 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
microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of
the appliance.
Notes: 1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician

or service person.

2. 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.

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 - Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess moisture and

•

Limited Use

• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware - Use these if they are labeled "Microwave Safe".

• 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.

Not Recommended

• Glass jars and bottles - Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause damage
and injury.

• Paper bags - These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use.

COOKING TECHNIQUES

Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these considerations in mind:

Stirring

Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the
dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will turn off
when you open the door to stir your food.

Arrangement

Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the
outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place delicate areas,
such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable.

Shielding

Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry
wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil.
Larger amounts can damage your oven.

Turning

Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially important with
large foods such as roasts.

Standing

Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after heating stops.
Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time
to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate,
should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating
baby food, stir well at removal and test the temperature before serving.

Adding moisture

Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or
allowed to stand so that the heat disperse evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

If the oven fails to operate:
A

) Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait

10 seconds and plug it in again securely.

B) Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly, test the

outlet with another appliance.
C) Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
D) Check to ensure that the door is securely closed engaging the door safety lock system. Otherwise, the

microwave energy will not flow into the oven.

IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFY THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A

QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.
