This document provides user instructions for Haier ovens, specifically models HWO60S14EPB4 and HWO60S14EPX4. It covers safety warnings, general instructions, product description, control panel operation, cleaning and maintenance, pyrolysis, troubleshooting, and installation.
Safety and Warnings:
The oven is designed for safe operation during normal cooking. Users are advised to turn off the oven at the wall before replacing the lamp or performing maintenance to avoid electrical shock. A fire hazard warning advises against placing aluminum foil, dishes, trays, water, or ice on the oven floor, as this can damage the enamel or cause fire. The appliance should not be used for room warming. Flammable materials should not be stored in or near the oven. A cut hazard warning advises caution during installation due to sharp edges. A hot surface hazard warning indicates that accessible parts become hot during use, and users should avoid touching them, especially children. Oven mitts or other protection should be used when handling hot surfaces. Care should be taken when opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape. Heating elements and interior surfaces can be hot even if dark in color.
Important safety instructions include reading all instructions before use, using the oven only for its intended purpose, and ensuring proper installation and earthing by a qualified technician. An isolating switch providing omnipolar disconnection from the power supply is required, compliant with overvoltage category III requirements, bearing the maximum connected load, and in line with current legislation. The switch must be incorporated into the fixed wiring. The yellow-green earth cable should not be interrupted and must be easily accessible. Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children, who should not be left alone or unattended. Children under 8 years old must be continuously supervised. The appliance can be used by children aged 8 and above, and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, if supervised and instructed on safe use and understanding hazards. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be done by unsupervised children.
Other warnings include:
- Do not place heavy objects on the oven door.
- Wear proper apparel; loose-fitting or hanging garments can ignite or melt.
- User servicing should only be done as specifically recommended in the manual; otherwise, refer to a qualified technician.
- Do not use water on grease fires; smother with a dry chemical or foam extinguisher.
- Use only dry oven mitts or potholders to avoid steam burns or fire.
- Do not heat unopened food containers, as pressure buildup can cause bursting and injury.
- Practice safe food handling: leave food in the oven for the shortest possible time before and after cooking to avoid contamination.
- Keep oven vents unobstructed.
- Do not operate the appliance with an external timer or separate remote-control system.
- Hot air can blow from the vent at the top of the oven as part of the cooling system.
- Position oven shelves while the oven is cool.
- When placing a shelf, ensure the stop is directed upwards and to the back of the cavity, and the shelf is fully inserted.
- Do not clean the oven seal or use oven-cleaning products on it.
- Do not use oven cleaners, harsh/abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, polishes, commercial oven liners, or protective coatings.
- Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaners, scourers, or sharp metal scrapers on the oven door glass.
- Clean only the parts listed in the manual.
- Do not use a steam cleaner.
- Do not store items children might want above the oven.
- Do not install or operate a damaged or improperly working appliance; contact the dealer or installer immediately.
- Use only bakeware approved for oven use.
- No additional operation/setting is required for rated frequencies.
- If the power cable is damaged, it should be substituted by a suitably qualified professional with type H05V2V2-F. The earth conductor must be approximately 10 mm longer than others.
- The oven must be switched off before removing removable parts.
- Never remove the oven door seal.
- When inserting the grid tray, ensure the anti-slide edge is positioned rearwards and upwards.
- The appliance must not be installed behind a decorative door to avoid overheating.
- Ensure good ventilation in the oven space during installation.
- Fix the oven to the furniture with provided screws.
- Remove excess spilled material before a self-clean cycle.
- Before a self-clean cycle, remove all accessories and wipe up large food spills; do not use detergent.
- Do not place towels on the oven during the cleaning cycle.
- Move pet birds to a well-ventilated room during a self-clean cycle, as fumes can be harmful.
- During a self-clean cycle, surfaces get hotter than usual; keep children at a safe distance.
- For ovens with a meat probe, close the hole with the provided nut before a cleaning cycle and when the probe is not in use.
- Only use the temperature probe recommended for this oven.
- If a hob is fitted above the oven, do not use it during a self-clean cycle to prevent overheating.
General Instructions:
Users are advised to read the manual carefully and retain it for future reference. The serial number should be noted for customer service. Upon unpacking, check for transport damage. Keep packaging materials away from children. Initial use may produce smoke from insulation glue; wait for it to dissipate before cooking. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages due to non-observance of instructions. Oven functions, properties, and accessories may vary by model.
Electrical Safety:
Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician and conform to local laws. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages from non-observance. The oven must be earthed. The power supply should be 220-240 Vac. Check power voltage and disconnector setting. The grounding wire must be connected to the earth terminal of the power supply. A qualified electrician should check the continuity of the power supply's earth terminal before connection. The manufacturer is not responsible for accidents due to faulty earthing. An additional wall socket is advisable for maintenance. The power cable should only be replaced by technical service staff or equivalent.
Recommendations:
Clean the oven after each use. Do not line oven walls with aluminum foil or single-use protection, as it can melt and damage the enamel. Avoid very high temperatures to prevent excessive soiling and smoky smells; extend cooking time and lower temperature instead. Use dishes and baking molds resistant to high temperatures.
Waste Management and Environmental Protection:
The appliance is marked according to European Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE). It contains polluting substances and reusable elements. WEEE should undergo specific treatments for pollutant removal and material recovery. It should not be treated as domestic waste but taken to dedicated collection areas. Old appliances can be returned to the vendor when purchasing a new equivalent appliance.
Saving and Respecting the Environment:
Avoid pre-heating the oven and always try to fill it. Open the oven door infrequently. Switch off the oven 5-10 minutes before the planned end of cooking time to use residual heat. Keep seals clean. Use the "delayed cooking" program with hourly tariffs to save energy.
First Use - Preliminary Cleaning:
Clean the oven before first use. Wipe external surfaces with a damp soft cloth. Wash all accessories and wipe the oven interior with hot water and washing-up liquid. Set the empty oven to maximum temperature for about 1 hour to remove newness smells.

Note: Do not use gas burners or electric hot-plates of a hob fitted above the oven during pyrolysis to prevent overheating.
Two pre-set cycles:
- Pyrolitic Self Clean Eco: For moderately stained ovens, 90 minutes.
- Pyrolitic Self Clean: For heavily stained ovens, 120 minutes.
Do not use commercial cleaning products.
Tip: Perform pyrolysis immediately after cooking to use residual heat and save energy.
Before executing:
- Remove all accessories (grids, side racks, telescopic guides) as they cannot tolerate high temperatures.
- Remove large spillages or stains.
- Close the oven door.
- Clean the oven door.
- Remove coarse food residues with a damp sponge; do not use detergents.
- Do not place tea towels.
Using the cycle:
- Select cleaning functions (d) and choose pyrolitic cycle.
- Defer start time via programmer if desired.
- Door locks automatically after a few minutes. Can be stopped by pushing On/Off.
- Pyrolysis switches off automatically when finished.
Troubleshooting:
- Oven does not heat up:
- Possible cause: Clock not set. Solution: Set the clock.
