Installation
1. Make sure that all the packing materials are removed from the inside of the door.
2. WARNING: Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surface, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact qualified service personnel.
3. This microwave oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface to hold its weight and the heaviest food likely to be cooked in the oven.
4. Do not place the oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity are generated, or near combustible materials.
5. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow. Allow 7.9” of space above the oven, 3.9” at back and 2” at both sides. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance. Do not remove feet.
6. Do not operate the oven without glass tray, roller support, and shaft in their proper positions.
7. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under the oven or over any hot or sharp surface.
8. The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.
9. Do not use the oven outdoors.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.
6
English
Extension Cord
We do not recommend to use an extension cord. If it is necessar y 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 obser ve 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 dif ferent circuit, relocated the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.
Utensils Guide
This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which ones have limited use for short periods, and which ones should not be used in the microwave.
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 prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.
Glass and 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 food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwave food once the food has been removed from the oven.
7
English
LIMITED USE
Aluminum foil - Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful. You should keep distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity.
Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware - Use these 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.
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.
Styrofoam plates and cups - These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
Plastic storage and food containers - Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.
Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.
Note: Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds? A dish, which becomes very hot, should not be used.

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 poultr y legs, and cor ners 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
Quality of the food: Poor quality ingredients are rarely improved by any method
of cooking and this applies 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.

Troubleshooting
Questions and Answers:
Q. Accidentally running of microwave oven without any food in it. Is it
damaged?
A. We do not recommend operating the microwave oven without any food,
however, running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven.
Q. What if oven does not turn on?
A. Check the following:
1) Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and reinsert.
2) Check circuit breaker or fuse. Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse if it is tripped or blown.
Q. Can the oven be used with the glass tray removed?
A. No. The glass tray must be positioned correctly in the oven before
cooking.
Q. Why does warm air come from the oven vents and steam accumulates
on the oven door?
A. This is due to heat being given off from food cooking in the oven cavity.
The warm air is carried out of the oven by the airflow pattern in the oven. There are no microwaves in the air. The oven vents should never be blocked during cooking. During cooking time, steam is given off from the food. Most of the steam is removed from the oven by the air; which circulates in the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on cooler surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal.
Q. My microwave causes interference on my TV. Is this Normal?
A. Some Radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the
microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.
Q. Can TV dinner trays be placed in the oven?
A. Only TV dinners labeled microwave safe are recommended for this oven.
Make sure foil covers are removed from top of container.

Cleaning and Care
1. Turn of f the oven and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
2. Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dir ty. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
3. The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
