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.
Radio or TV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check position and signal of recieving antenna.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 minim 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.

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.

Food Facts in Microwave Cooking
The quality of the food: Poor quality ingredients are rarely improved by any method of cooking and this
a
pplies particularly to microwave cooking, as the process is so fast.
Temperature: The colder the food before cooking, the longer it will take to cook. Quantity: The cooking time relates to the amount of food in the microwave oven. Do not overload the microwave.
For very large quantities, it is better and may be quicker to cook in two or more batches. Density: The more porous the food, the faster it will cook. A light airy cake mixture will cook faster than jacket potatoes. Size and Shape: Uniform shapes cook more evenly. In an irregular shape, such as a leg of lamb, the thinner parts will cook faster than the thick part. The smaller the individual piece of food is (such as the vegetables in a soup) the quicker the cooking. Moisture: There is very little evaporation in microwave cooking so foods can be cooked in the minimum water. Casseroles need about half the usual amount of stock; vegetables need only two or three tablespoons of water. Bones: Meat and poultry bones conduct heat, therefor the areas around them will cook faster than the rest of the meat. Insert a microwave meat thermometer into the thickest part of the flesh away from any bone for an accurate grading.
Proper Microwave Oven Care and Cleaning
Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your microwave oven before cleaning.
Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.
Caution: Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions and
warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.
General: • Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with warm water
soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe down your microwave oven.
• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. SOME of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your microwave oven.
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters or liquid spills, wipe with a damp cloth.
• To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, care should be taken so water does not sweep into the ventilation openings. Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open
• the oven door before cleaning. W with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP/CLEAR.
• If steam accumulates inside or around the outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit. The turntable and oven cavity floor should be cleaned regularly
• the oven and dry. The turntable may be washed in mild sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
