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 oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and

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. Microwave heating of beverage can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handle the container.

9. Do not deep fry food in the microwave. It is difficult to control the fat which could cause a fire hazard.

10. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole squash, apples and chestnuts before cooking.

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.

If there is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact your dealer or authorized servicer.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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 elec-

trician 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.

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.

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.

• 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 inthe 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. Adish 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 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.
