IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a)Do Not Attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b)Do Not Place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c)Do Not Operate the oven if it is damaged.

It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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

Ensure proper ground exists before use.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

&RQVXOW D TXDOLILHG HOHFWULFLDQ RU VHUYLFH WHFKQLFLDQ LI 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.

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

Do not use an extension cord. If the power cord is too

ŶClean the underside of the Advantium often. Do not allow grease to build up on the Advantium or the fan filters.

ŶIn 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.

ŶUse care when cleaning the vent fan filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filters.

ŶWhen preparing flaming foods under the Advantium, turn the fan on.

ŶNever 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

Microwave Cooking

Your oven uses microwave energy to cook by a set time or weight, or automatically by sensor. Sensor microwave works by detecting the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven can be compared to the surface units on a range. Each power level gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the time. Power level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the time. Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time.

Microwave terms

Term

Definition

Arcing

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

 

Ŷ the metal shelf being installed incorrectly and touching the microwave walls.

 

Ŷ metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

 

Ŷ foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

 

Ŷ metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.

 

Ŷ recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.

 

Ŷ the turntable ring support being installed incorrectly.

 

 

Covering

Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap or

 

covering with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.

 

 

Shielding

In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving,

 

you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would

 

cook before larger parts.

Standing Time When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.

Venting

After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess

 

steam can escape.

How to Adjust the Automatic Popcorn Setting to Provide a Shorter or Longer Cook Time

If you find that the brand of popcorn you use underpops or overpops consistently, you can add or subtract 20–30 seconds to the automatic popping time.

To subtract time:

Within the first 30 seconds after the oven starts, turn the dial counterclockwise, until a minus (“–”) sign appears, for 20 seconds less cooking time. Press to enter. Turn again, until two minus (“– –”) signs appear, to reduce cooking time another 10 seconds for a total of 30 seconds less time. Press to enter.

To add time:

Cookware Tips

Convection Bake or Roast

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.

Combination Fast Bake

Glass or Glass-Ceramic baking containers are recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven shelf. This can damage the cookware, the shelf or the oven.
