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 Cure
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
bugs, 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.Visiblebubbling or

cookware
The turntable must
always be in place when
using the oven.
The clear glass tray
should always be in place
when mlcrowavlng.
-A 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

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.
-4,CAUTION: Burn Risk
• 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
ispackaged 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.
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.
"Bailable" 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.
• Plastic cookware-Plastic cookware
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.

Advontium Oven
Getting to know
the Advontium
The Advc]ntium oven uses
breakthrough Speedcook technology
to harness the power of light. The
Advantium oven cooks the outside
of foods much like conventional
radiant heot, while olso penetroting
the surface so the inside cooks
simultaneously.
While hologen light is the primory
source of power, o ceromic heoter
ossists in the cooking, with o
"microwove boost" odded in some
cooking olgorithms. Food cooks evenly
ond fost, retoining its noturol moisture.
10
The Advantium oven is capoble of
speedcooking, convection baking,
broiling, toasting, warming, proofing
and microwaving. The Speedcook
feature is the biggest benefit of the
Advc]ntium oven.
No preheating is required to
speedcook. Place the food in the

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

for egg and cheese recipes due to
the cleanability of glass.
• When baking on one level, use the
