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.
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.

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. 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 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.
