YorkshireTyke Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Just bought the Xiami Smart Microwave but all the instructions are in Chinese. I've Googled English manual but I can't find anything. There is an app for it as it contains a wi-fi 'chip' and also reacts to voice commands but I presume only Chinese commands. I'm pretty sure at turn on it is at basic heat function so I just turn the knob to increase the time. However, it has defrost function etc which may be useful. I'm not bothered about the auto meal settings but it would be nice to learn a few more of it's functions as it has 2 touchpad buttons which both have numerous settings. Any ideas anyone ? (I put the topic here as I wasn't sure which was the best forum) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCor Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 https://www.aliexpress.com/i/4000440099955.html Look for and press the VIEW MORE ˅ link at the bottom of the product description for more info in English. After accessing the Mijia APP, the microwave oven can be remotely controlled by smart devices such as mobile phones and Xiaomi AI speakers. You can check the remaining heating time by saying a word, and remotely open the child lock mold to better protect your child. * Temporarily only supports Chinese voice Another option might be to load Google Lens and point your smartphone at the manual to translate it for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded the app after I posted and there are lots of Xiaomi appliances but not the microwave ! I've not heard of Google lens so I will try that tomorrow, thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireTyke Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 Thanks RichCor I couldn't get Google Lens to do anything but the articles described the functions so I know how to do basic heating up, defrosting and changing the heat power although I see no reason for anything other than full power when reheating my leftover dinner for lunch the next day !

YorkshireTyke Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Thanks VCam Do you have one or are you just practising your Chinese? I think you have clarified what I thought that when it's turned on or activated (by opening the door) the display shows one minute which I presumed was highest temp/degrees setting. I use this a few mornings every week to cook/warm up my porridge oats and milk which is about perfect. However, if I am warming mashed potatoes and veg, after one minute the plate is a bit warm to touch but the potatoes are cold so I need to do for 2-3 minutes unless there is a higher setting. I can't remember how long it took in my previous microwave so maybe 2-3 minutes is normal. I don't use it for anything else, I use my normal oven for cooking.

Spent half a day on the internet looking for this manual for my microwave. And why can't they make the manual in Chinese and English? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only things I have bought from Ali express was an android TV box about 2/3 years ago and a part for my car mirror earlier this year. Why?
