FOODS

When microwaving, place all foods and

containers on the clear glass tray.

Do not pop popcorn in your oven unless in

a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

 Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure will

build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

 Do not operate oven without food inside.

This may cause damage to the oven. It increases the heat around the magnetron and can shorten the life of the oven.

 Foods with unbroken outer “skin”

such as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

 Don’t defrost frozen beverages in

narrow-necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is open, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

 Foods cooked in liquids (such as

pasta) may tend to boil more rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care and Cleaning of the oven section for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

 Hot foods and steam can cause

burns. Be careful when opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face.

 Do not overcook potatoes. They could

dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

 Avoid heating baby food in glass jars,

even with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding when warming formula. The container may feel cooler than the formula really is. Always test the formula before feeding the baby.

 Do not attempt to deep fry in the oven.  SUPERHEATED WATER

Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea, are

able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

Microwavesafe cookware

The turntable must

always be in place when

using the oven.

The clear glass tray

should always be in place

when microwaving.

WARNING

Make sure to use suitable cookware during microwave cooking. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving.”

 Do not use the wire oven rack for

microwave.

 Place food or microwavable container

directly on the clear glass tray to cook your food.

 Use of a metal tray during microwave

cooking will result in inferior cooking performance.

 If you are not

sure if a dish is microwavesafe, use this test: Place both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with 1 cup of water in the oven. Set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave 30-45 seconds at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving.

 If the dish remains cool and only the

water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.

CAUTION

 Cookware may become hot because

of heat transferred from the heated food. Oven mitts may be needed to handle the cookware.

 Use foil only as directed in this manual.

When using foil in the oven, keep the foil at least 1” away from the sides of the oven.

 If you use a meat thermometer while

cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

 Some foam trays (like those that meat

is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.

How to test for a

microwave-safe dish.

Burn Risk

 Do not use recycled paper products.

Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

 Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic

wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

 Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use

in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

 “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly

closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package instructions. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as glass or ceramic materials. Plastic may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

1. Use microwave-safe plastics only, and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations.

2. Do not microwave empty containers.

3. Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without adult supervision.

Grounding Instructions

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,

Ensure proper ground exists before use.

This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance. Do not use an extension cord with this

appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical circuit to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.

The Vent Fan

The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions (see Vent Fan section). Take care to prevent the starting and spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use.

 Clean the underside of the Advantium often.

Do not allow grease to build up on the Advantium or the fan filters.

 In the event of a grease fire on the surface

units below the Advantium, smother a flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

 Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters.

Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lyebased oven cleaners, may damage the filters.

 When preparing flaming foods under the

Advantium, turn the fan on.

 Never leave surface units beneath your

Advantium unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the Advantium vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary.

Getting to Know the Advantium

Advantium Oven

Getting to know the Advantium

The Advantium oven uses breakthrough Speedcook technology to harness the power of light. The Advantium oven cooks the outside of foods much like conventional radiant heat, while also penetrating the surface so the inside cooks simultaneously.

While halogen light is the primary source of power, a ceramic heater assists in the cooking, with a “microwave boost” added in some cooking algorithms. Food cooks evenly and fast, retaining its natural moisture.

The Advantium oven is capable of speedcooking, convection baking, broiling, toasting, warming, proofing and microwaving. The Speedcook feature is the biggest benefit of the Advantium oven.

No preheating is required to speedcook. Place the food in the oven and start cooking immediately. Time is saved because there is no preheat and because speedcook cooks faster.

Speedcooking

Advantium Oven

Speedcook power level

The Advantium uses power from high intensity halogen lamps, a ceramic heater, and microwaves to cook food from the top, bottom and interior simultaneously to seal in moisture and flavor.

When using the pre-set menu foods, the power levels are already selected for you. However, power levels can be adjusted when using pre-set menu foods and MY RECIPE.

Each power level gives you halogen lamp or ceramic heater power and microwave energy for a certain percentage of the time.

For example: U–07 Upper halogen lamp and

ceramic heater on 70% of the time.

L–07 Lower ceramic heater on

70% of the time.

M–03 Microwave on 30% of the

time.

NOTE: Be careful when adjusting power levels so that you do not overcook or undercook food.

1. Press the SPEEDCOOK pad and select your food (follow instructions from Using the pre-set speedcook menu).

2. When display shows EDIT, SAVE or START, turn the dial to select EDIT.

If you do not want to change one

of the settings, just press the dial to move to the next selection.

3. Press the dial if you do not want to adjust cooking time.

4. Turn the dial clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the upper power level. Press the dial to enter.

5. Turn the dial to change the lower power level. Press the dial to enter.

Note that the upper and lower level settings limit the microwave power level. For example, if the upper or lower power level is set to a 7, the microwave can be set no higher than a 3.

Press the START/PAUSE selector dial to start cooking.

Follow these general guidelines when selecting the best U=, L=, and M= settings for your favorite recipes:

U = Select a higher setting for thin

foods requiring a golden brown top (example: fish fillets, toast, boneless chicken breasts). Select a lower setting for thicker foods and foods with high sugar or fat content (example: muffins, roasts, casseroles) or that require a longer cook time.

L = Select a higher setting for thick or

dense foods that may not cook quickly in the center (example: steaks, casseroles). Select a lower setting for thin foods (example: cookies).

M = Select a higher setting to shorten

cooking time for dense or heavy foods (example: casseroles, whole chicken). Select a lower setting for delicate foods (example: breads) or foods requiring longer cook times for tender results (example: stew, pot roast).

Convection baking

Advantium Oven

Convection Baking

How to Convection Bake

Convection baking allows you to cook foods the same way as a conventional oven, using an element to heat the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 250°F to 450°F may be set.

A fan gently circulates heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food. Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, some foods cook slightly faster than in regular oven cooking.

Before you begin, make sure the metal rack is in place. Both racks may be used for two level cooking.

1. Press CONV BAKE pad.

2. Turn the dial to set the temperature and press the dial to enter.

3. Press the dial to enter and confirm the selection.

To start immediately without setting a cook time, select START or press the START/PAUSE pad:

To set a cook time:

1. Turn the dial and select COOK TIME.

2. Turn the dial to set the cook time and press the dial to enter.

3. To start the cook time immediately, place the food in the oven and select START COOK TIME. Then press the dial or the START/PAUSE pad to start. The cook time will immediately start to count down.

Put food directly on the metal tray or in the

appropriate dish and place on wire oven rack

CAUTION

When baking, remember that the oven, door and dishes will be very hot!

when baking or warming.

Burn Risk

To start cook time after preheat, select START PREHEAT. The oven will signal once the oven reaches the cooking temperature. Place the food in the oven and press the START/PAUSE pad. The cook time will begin to count down.

If the oven door is opened during cooking, “Pause” will appear in the display. Close the door and press START/ PAUSE pad.

Cook times are shown in hours and minutes and can be set to a maximum of 2 hours 59 minutes. Time can be changed during cooking by turning the dial.

Cooking Tips for Convection Baking

 Metal pans are recommended

for all types of baked products, but especially where browning is important.

 Dark or dull finish metal pans are

best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper crust.

 Shiny aluminum pans are better

for cakes, cookies or muffins because they reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust.

 Glass or glass-ceramic casserole

or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.

 When baking on one level, use the

lower level. The top clips are to only be used in two level baking.

How to clean the inside of the oven

Use to light your cooktop. Press the SURFACE LIGHT pad to

change from bright to night to off.

The vent fan removes steam and other vapors from surface cooking.

Press the VENT FAN pad to change from high to medium to low to off.

Be certain the oven control is turned off and the oven is warm or cool to the touch before cleaning any part of this oven.

Clean the inside of the oven often for proper heating performance.

Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others may require a warm soapy cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth.

If the dirt and spatter do not come off easily with a warm sudsy cloth, place a medium sized bowl full of water in the unit on the metal tray and press the SPEEDCOOK pad. Select MY RECIPE and set for 10 minutes at U=3, L=3, M=7. This should loosen the dirt in the oven so that it can be removed with a warm sudsy cloth.

If you notice yellowing on the metal inside the oven that cannot be removed with a warm sudsy cloth, use a stainless steel cleaner that removes heat discoloration and/or tarnishing. You can then clean the inside of the oven as you normally do.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls.

Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your oven.

Do not clean the inside of the oven with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad inside the oven, causing electrical shock as well as damaging the inside surface finish of the oven.

Care and Cleaning

How to clean the outside of the oven

Do not remove the mica sheet. To clean the mica sheet: Allow the

oven to cool completely. Wipe clean with a warm soapy cloth.

We recommend against using cleaners with ammonia or alcohol, as they can damage the appearance of the oven. If you choose to use a common household cleaner, first apply the cleaner directly to a clean cloth, then wipe the soiled area.

Clean the outside of the microwave with a sudsy cloth. Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.

Mica Sheet

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

The stainless steel panel can be cleaned with Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth. Apply stainless cleaner carefully, avoiding the surrounding plastic or glass parts. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products containing chlorine on stainless steel.

Plastic Color Panels (on some models)

Control Panel

Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel - they can damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the control panel.

Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly.

Door Seal

It’s important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the oven. Use only mild, non-abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

Bottom

Clean off the grease and dust on the bottom often. Use a solution of warm water and detergent.
