Haier 1.6 Cu. Ft. 1000 Watt Over the Range Microwave

This 30", 1.6 cu. ft. capacity over-the-range microwave has 1000 watts of power for quick and efficient cooking, defrosting, and reheating. It features a comfortable pull-handle, scrolling display with digital clock and timer, and includes a number of cooking options to complement any menu. The electronic touch controls allow you to easily set the 10 power levels, select quick or timed cook options, and control the built-in 2 speed exhaust fan. The Perfect Space-Saving Solution An over-the-range microwave keeps your two major cooking appliances in one vertical space in your kitchen, and gives you the ability to use stovetop ventilation and workspace lighting, all in one appliance. This frees up valuable counter space for food preparation, or for other small countertop appliances such as toasters, blenders, and coffeemakers. The over the range configuration is also built to function as ventilation to filter grease and odors from cooking, and can be set up in ducted or non-ducted configuration. Family-Sized Capacity Whether it's popping a large bag of popcorn for movie night or reheating a leftover casserole, the 1.6 cubic foot capacity in this over-the-range microwave is equipped to meet the needs of any family. The 13.6" diameter glass turntable is easy to wash and ensures that your food cooks evenly in a variety of differently sized bowls and dishes. Convenient Cooking Features A microwave offers the convenience of warm meals and snacks in a fraction of the time it takes to make them from scratch or reheat them on the stove or in the oven. The cooking options on this model take that concept a step further with 3 One-Touch cooking presets for commonly microwaved foods and 1 for reheating, an Express Cook option, multi-stage cooking, and a selection that adds time to the cooking program. Popcorn: Make hot buttery popcorn for the whole family, or just for yourself. This function has 3 settings for standard (3.0oz), large (3.5oz), and snack size (1.75oz) microwave popcorn bags. Baked Potato: Steaming, cooked potatoes are ready for their toppings, or as a side dish in minutes with this function that has settings for small and large potatoes. Beverage: With this selection, up to three cups of hot cocoa, cider, tea, or coffee are ready for sipping before you know it. Reheat: It takes just one touch of a button to satisfactorily warm up leftovers that have been sitting in the fridge. Standard Time Cook lets you manually input a precise cooking time and accurately follow the instructions on pre-packaged microwaveable foods. The Express Cook option steps away from this regular timed cook program slightly to save you even more time. When numbers 1-6 are pressed on the number pad without any other selections, the microwave automatically starts up and cooks for the number of minutes selected (e.g. 1 begins cooking for 1 minute, 2 cooks for 2 minutes). With the growing variety of microwaveable meals, you may come across recipes or foods that call for more than one stage of cooking, often at different power levels. For example, a frozen entr'e might call for 2 minutes of cooking at 100% power, then 3 additional minutes at only 50% power. This microwave is programmable for 2 stage cooking. Multi-stage cooking allows you to input 2 different times and power levels and walk away rather than having to wait on the first stage to finish before inputting the second. Finally, the Add 30 Sec. selection allows you to fine-tune and adjust time even after you've pressed Start by adding to the time in 30 second increments during cooking. This microwave also includes automatic Defrost options and timed defrost. Ventilation Features 300 CFM ventilation power on this model helps clear unwanted cooking smells, keeping the air in your kitchen cleaner and fresher. The ducted installation option expels smoke, heat, and odors outdoors. In homes where exhausting to the outside is not possible, ductless installation filters cooking odors and smoke through the included charcoal filter before recirculating the air. Selections for Hi or Lo fan speeds and the surface lights are conveniently located on the front control panel of the microwave.
