English

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 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.

English

Combination: applicable for both “microwave+grill”, and “microwave+convection” cooking.

* The purpose of the Metal Baking Tray is for use in the grill and convection modes only for

example, we could use it when we bake cake, meat, pizza, and the oil could be kept in the

plate.

The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.

1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows

energy to pass through the container and heat the food. Only use a temperature

probe recommended for this oven.

2. Microwave can not penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim

should not be used.

3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may

contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.

4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in

corners tends to overcook.

5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed

areas. But be careful don’t use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm)

between foil and cavity.

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.

If the oven fails to operate:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Check to ensure that the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is

set.

4. 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.

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

for microwave cooking only.

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.
