The kitchen is the heart of the home, the place for family breakfasts or where friends gather with a drink while dinner is being prepared.
If you’re upgrading your kitchen, build one that makes everyday life a little easier, especially when you’re busy juggling late-night sports practices, afternoon piano lessons, or long days at the office.
We’ve rounded up some of our favourite Haier smart kitchen innovations that work in concert to make preparing and serving meals a breeze.

Keep connected
The most important kitchen tool in your arsenal? Your phone. Haier’s SmartHQ™ app keeps you connected to your kitchen wherever you are. Connect compatible appliances to wi-fi and control them from your fingertips.
Preheat the oven when you’re five minutes from home, or switch on the low-energy LED rangehood lighting so the kitchen is ready to welcome you back. Hob-to-Hood technology syncs the rangehood to the induction cooktop, automatically adjusting extraction to match cooking power levels.
Use your SmartHQ app to stay in control of clean-up, too. Don’t worry if you’ve left for work or gone to bed without turning the dishwasher on — simply reach for your phone and start it from wherever you are. The cycle can be queued up and switched on at your fingertips.

Let them cook
A Haier smart kitchen is also a calm, clutter-free one. Clear your benchtop of miscellaneous appliances and embrace a Haier 600 Series built-in oven that can air fry, proof bread, dehydrate, cook pizza – and, of course, grill and bake.
Precise temperature control, a Rapid Heat function for nights when time is tight, and regular cooking updates via the SmartHQ app help you stay calm and in control in the kitchen.
For avid bakers, the steam-assist function helps deliver crisp-bread crusts and beautifully moist cakes, every time. In sleek shades of monochromatic black or sophisticated mid-grey glass, the elegant design of the 600 Series oven blends seamlessly into the background… while putting in the hard yards at your next dinner party.
The Flexi Zone feature on the cooktop is another winner, allowing you to pair two zones to create a larger cooking surface when needed.

Stay cool
Any cook knows that the freshness of ingredients is key, so opt for a fridge that truly pulls its weight. Haier’s 600 Series quad-door refrigerators do more than just chill.
Customisable zones, Multi-Zone Air and a Humidity Zone keep fruit, vegetables and other foods fresher for longer, while Super Freeze locks in taste and nutrients fast. The Switch Zone adjustable compartment lets you adapt storage from a deep freeze at −18°C to a cool +5°C, so it can be used as a fridge or freezer, depending on your changing needs — how clever.
Even the ice is smarter, with Absolute Ice technology producing pure, odour-free cubes through the door. Receive alerts — like a door left open — and adjust cooling modes via the SmartHQ™ app. These high-capacity, energy-efficient refrigerators are smart in more ways than one.

On dish duty
Any keen cook knows the worst part of preparing a feast is cleaning up afterwards. Remove the nightly debate over who’s on dishes with a dishwasher designed to make light work of the aftermath.
Both Haier’s 600 Series freestanding and built-under dishwashers deliver spotless results thanks to innovations like the DualPower Spray Arm and CutleryPlus for improved cleaning performance.
Our favourite feature? The door automatically opens at the end of the cycle to deliver low-energy, natural drying –perfect for setting and forgetting before heading out the door.
No matter your level of culinary prowess, Haier’s sleek and smart appliances are bound to elevate your cooking and your kitchen design. Any issues? The SmartHQ™ app is there to help every step of the way.
