Cooking Times
■When speedcooking preprogrammed foods, you may see OPTIMIZING COOK TIME in the display several seconds after you press START/PAUSE. The oven automatically senses the electrical voltage level in your home and
adjusts the cooking time up or down for proper cooking.
Fan/Vent
■The fan will be on during cooking. At the end of cooking, the automatic fan may continue to run for a short time, and the display will read Oven is Cooling. The fan will automatically shut off when the internal parts of the oven have cooled.
■The oven vent will emit warm air while the oven is on.
Lights
■When the oven is on, light may be visible around the door or outer case.
■The halogen lights will dim and cycle on and off during a speedcook cycle, sometimes even at full power levels.
This is normal. The oven senses the heat level and adjusts automatically.
Oven Heat
■No preheating time is required during Speedcook cycles. The oven begins cooking immediately.
■The door and inside of the oven will be very hot. Use caution when opening the door and removing food.
■Do not use cookware or coverings made of paper, plastic, or foil when cooking during a speedcook cycle.
■When cooking for an extended period of time, the oven may automatically
reduce the power levels to maintain the appropriate level of oven heat.*
Sounds
■Clicks and a fan blowing are normal sounds during cooking. The relay board is turning components on and off.
*This occurs during speed cook only when the cavity temperature approaches 425°F.
To remind you that you have food in the oven, the oven will display COOK TIME COMPLETED and beep once a minute until you either open the oven door or press the CLEAR/OFF pad.

Speedcook Power Levels
Advantium uses power from a high-intensity halogen light, ceramic heaters, and microwaves to cook food from the top, bottom, and interior simultaneously, sealing in moisture and flavor.
When using preset Speedcook recipes on the food menu, power levels are preselected. However, these power levels can be adjusted before or during cooking. Also, the manual cook feature allows you to speed cook items not on the preset food menu by selecting your own cook time and power level settings.
Each power level alternates heater power and microwave energy throughout the cook time. Percentage times of each power source vary, dependant upon which power level has been selected. The halogen light and ceramic heaters will cycle on and off during a speedcook cycle, even when full power has been selected.
UPPER POWER (U) controls both the upper heating assembly and microwave power. A higher UPPER POWER setting will utilize more upper heater power, browning food faster on top. A lower UPPER POWER setting utilizes more microwave power, causing food to cook more evenly throughout. Select a higher setting for such foods as pizza and baked goods. Select a lower setting for foods such as casseroles, meats, and fish.
LOWER POWER (L) controls the lower heater. Select a higher setting to brown foods more on the bottom. Select a lower setting for less browning on the bottom.
Refer to the Speedcook Power Level Chart in this chapter for specific power source operating percentages.
Upper Heaters
The upper heating assembly consists of a 500 watt halogen heater and a 700 watt ceramic heater. The halogen and ceramic heaters provide radiant heat, which browns the outside of the food while sealing in moisture and flavor. These heaters only operate in the speedcook mode and always cycle on and cycle off at the same time.
The convection heater, located at the rear of the oven, operates when using bake mode.
Lower Heater
The lower heater is a 375 watt ceramic heater. It operates in speedcook, oven/bake, and warm
modes. The lower heater assists in browning foods on the bottom.
Microwave Energy
Caution: When cooking in Microwave mode, always use the glass tray.
The Advantium 120 provides 975 watts of microwave power, which is delivered directly into the oven cavity to work independently, or in
conjunction with other cooking cycles. As the food rotates on the oven turntable, microwave energy is evenly distributed to all portions of the food.
Sensor Cooking
Advantium’s Microwave mode features sensor cooking, which automatically selects cook times and power levels. A humidity sensor detects the increasing humidity released during cooking, senses when the food is done, and shuts the oven off at the appropriate time. Sensor cooking is not available for 5 minutes immediately following Speedcook.
Voltage Compensation
Note: Voltage compensation only occurs when using a preselected menu item in Speedcook. These items require compensation for accurate and consistent cooking results.
Voltage fluctuations in the power supply can cause inconsistencies in cooking. The main PCB measures line voltage at the start of each Speedcooking selection and adjusts the cooking time to achieve consistent results. Optimal line voltage, where no voltage compensation occurs, is 120 VAC. Above 120 VAC, time is subtracted from the recipe. Below 120 VAC, time is added to the recipe. The amount of voltage compensation required is dependent upon the incoming voltage at the start of the cooking cycle and the particular speedcooking selection that is chosen.

The following chart shows the predicted compensation times based on a 12-minute speedcook selection (such as Biscuits, Refr; Large).

Note: Voltage compensation should be within 20 seconds of values in table.
Voltage compensation occurs after approximately 5 seconds of cooking operation. The display will show OPTIMIZING COOK TIME. The time will flash and then display the new adjusted time, based on the amount of voltage compensation required.
Voltage compensation only occurs during Speedcook operation and only occurs once during the cooking cycle (at initial start of Speedcook operation).
Thermal Protection
Thermal protection is a safety feature built into the Advantium’s software. In the event that the internal oven temperature reaches 500°F, the thermistor will communicate this information to the main PCB and thermal protection will be initiated. While in thermal protection mode, cooking cycles will be maintained; however, heaters will not be utilized until the oven reaches the proper operating temperature.
Thermal Compensation
Note: Thermal compensation only occurs when using a preselect menu item in Speedcook. These items require compensation for accurate and consistent cooking results.
When cooking several food items consecutively, the temperature in the oven may become very high. When Speedcooking, the Advantium automatically compensates for the increased temperature by reducing the amount of time the upper and lower heaters are on during each 32-second duty cycle.
At the start of each new Speedcooking operation, the cavity thermistor reads the oven temperature and sends this information to the main PCB board. If the oven temperature is 150°F or higher, the main PCB board will initiate thermal compensation. Thermal compensation will reduce the amount of time the heaters are on in each 32-second duty cycle. The reduction in heater time is based on the oven temperature at the start of Speedcook. The higher the initial cavity temperature, the less time the heaters will be on per duty cycle.
Thermal compensation occurs only once, at the beginning of a Speedcook cycle. In the following thermal compensation chart, the first column lists the initial cavity temperature, the second and third columns list the number of minutes and seconds the unit will have thermal compensation active.
