WARNING!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Advantium Oven

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

Page 4

WARNING!

■ Do not operate the oven without the oven

rack (turntable) in place. The oven rack (turntable) must be unrestricted so it can turn.

■ During and after use, do not touch, or let

clothing or other flammable materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

■ Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—

meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F, and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■ Potentially hot surfaces include the

oven door, floor, walls and oven rack (turntable).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Advantium Oven

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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

■ Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

■ Foil not molded to food (upturned edges

act like antennas).

■ Metal cookware used during either

speedcook or microwave cooking (except for the pans provided with the oven).

■ Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins,

or gold-rimmed dishes, in the oven.

■ Recycled paper towels containing small

metal pieces being used in the oven.

■ Use foil only as recommended in

this guide.

ARCING

Arcing can occur during both speedcooking and microwave cooking. If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.

Page 5

WARNING!

■ When microwaving, place all foods

and containers on the white ceramic 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 the 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.

■ SUPERHEATED WATER

Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all.

Superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.

To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for 30 seconds before moving it or putting anything into it.

■ The oven and door will get very hot

when speedcooking.

■ Cookware will become hot because of

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

■ Do not use coverings, containers

or cooking/roasting bags made of foil, plastic, wax or paper when speedcooking.

■ Do not cover the oven rack

(turntable), trays or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause arcing in the oven.

■ Use the black metal flat tray in the

same way you would use a shallow baking pan or baking tray.

■ Use the black grill tray for cooking

steaks, fish and poultry.

■ Place food directly on the trays

when cooking.

■ Any oven-safe dish can be used in

your oven. Recipes in the Advantium Cookbook were tested in Pyrex® and Anchor Hocking® glass cookware and Corningware® ceramic casseroles. Cooktimes and results may vary when using other types of oven-safe dishes. Place them directly on the oven rack (turntable).

■ Do not use the oven to dry

newspapers.

■ Use of the white ceramic tray when

speedcooking will result in inferior cooking performance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOODS

Speedcook oven-safe cookware

The oven rack

(turntable) must always

Page 6

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Advantium Oven

WARNING!

■ Place food or microwavable container

directly on the white ceramic tray to cook your food.

■ Use of either black metal tray during

microwave cooking will result in inferior cooking performance.

■ If you are not sure if a dish is

microwave-safe, use this test: Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with 1 cup of water—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.

■ Cookware may become hot because

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

■ 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.

■ Use foil only as directed in this guide.

TV dinners may be microwaved in foil

trays less than 3/4″ high; remove the

top foil cover and return the tray to the box. When using foil in the oven, keep the foil at least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.

■ Do not use the oven to dry

newspapers.

■ If you use a meat thermometer while

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

■ Some styrofoam 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.

■ 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. 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 are glass or ceramic materials and 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 complete supervision.

Microwavesafe cookware

The oven rack

(turntable) must always

be in place when using

the oven.

The white ceramic tray

should always be in

place when

microwaving.

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.”

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Advantium Oven

WARNING!

■ 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.

■ Spontaneous boiling—Under certain

special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we recommend the following: before removing the container from the oven, allow the container to stand in the oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids in narrow-necked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine flasks and especially narrow-necked coffee cups. Even if the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it to burst or overflow.

■ 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.

Introduction

Page 9

What is Advantium?

Advantium Oven

The new 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 “microwave boost” is added with certain foods. Foods cook evenly and fast, retaining their natural moisture.

Turntable

■ The oven rack (turntable) rotates to ensure even cooking.

Controls

■ The oven control contains preset recipes.

■ Turn and press dial makes menu selection easy.

Halogen Lamps

■ Two 1500 watt halogen bulbs cook food from above.

■ One 1500 watt halogen bulb cooks food from below.

Microwave

■ A microwave “boost” is automatically added with certain foods.

■ The oven can also be used as a 950 watt microwave oven.

Grill

■ The oven emits air from the lower grill area.

Speedcook power level

Advantium uses power from high intensity halogen lights 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 cooking both preset menu foods and manual cooking.

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

U=07 Upper halogen lamp on

70% of the time.

L=07 Lower halogen lamp on

70% of the time.

M=05 Microwave on 50% of

the time.

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

1. Press the SPEEDCOOK button and select your food (follow instructions from To use a pre-set speedcook menu).

2. When display shows ADJUST TIME or START, press the POWER LEVEL button.

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

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

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

6. Press the START/PAUSE button or the selector dial to start cooking.

If you do not want to change one of the settings, just press the dial to move to the next selection.

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: cakes, roasts).

L = Select a higher setting for thick

or dense foods that may not cook quickly in the center (example: casseroles). Select a lower setting for thin foods (example: cookies) and foods containing high fat or sugar content (example: pastry, cakes).

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: cakes, breads, souffles) or foods requiring longer cook times for tender results (example: stew, pot roast).

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

Defrosting tips

Use AUTO DEFROST for meat, poultry and fish.

Use TIME DEFROST for most

other frozen foods.

■ Foods frozen in paper or plastic

can be time defrosted in the package, but foods should be taken out of the package when using

DEFROST (AUTO)

. Closed

packages should be slit, pierced or vented after food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be partially uncovered.

■ Family-size, prepackaged frozen

dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.

■ Foods that spoil easily should not

be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

■ For more even defrosting of

larger foods, such as roasts, use

DEFROST (AUTO)

Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking.

■ When defrosted, food should be

cool but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.

Page 28

The sensor feature detects the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.

■ Always use microwave-safe

containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

■ Be sure the outside of the cooking

containers and the inside of the oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

■ Beverages are best heated

uncovered.

Microwaving

Advantium Oven

Microwave sensor cooking

Covered

Vented

Dry off dishes so they don’t

mislead the sensor.

MICROWAVE SENSOR PROGRAMS:

■ Beverage

■ Popcorn – Prepackaged microwave popcorn, 1.5 oz. to 3.5 oz.

■ Reheat – Single servings (4 to 6 oz.) of leftovers.

■ Soup

Page 29

Microwaving

Advantium Oven

To use all sensor programs

Advantium’s microwave mode features sensor cooking. The oven automatically senses when food is done and shuts itself off—eliminating the need to program cooktimes and power levels.

1. Press the MICROWAVE/OVEN

LIGHT button.

2. Turn the dial to select the food you want. Press the dial to enter.

3. Press the dial or press the START/

PAUSE button to start cooking.

Do not open the oven door until time is counting down in the display. If the door is opened, close it and press START/PAUSE immediately. If the food is not done enough, use TIME COOK in the microwave selector to cook for more time.

■ If you have been speedcooking

and the oven is already hot, it may indicate that it is too hot for sensor cooking. Of course, you can always continue with TIME COOK or SPEEDCOOK.

■ To shorten or lengthen the cook

time, wait until the time countdown shows in the display. Then turn the dial to add or subtract time.

■ Drinks heated with the

BEVERAGE feature may be very hot. Remove the container with care.

■ If you open the door while

SENSOR Cooking, SENSOR ERROR will appear. Close the

door, press START to begin again.

Notes about the Reheat program:

Reheated foods may have wide variations in temperature. Some areas may be extremely hot.

It is best to use TIME COOK and not REHEAT for these foods:

■ Bread products

■ Food that must be reheated

uncovered.

■ Foods that need to be stirred

or turned.

■ Foods calling for a dry look or

crisp surface after reheating.

Helpful hints

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.

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, causing electrical shock.

Do not remove the halogen lamp glass covers.

Open the oven door a few minutes after cooking to air out the inside. An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.

Be certain the oven control is turned off before cleaning any part of this oven.

Baking sheets (cooking trays)

To prevent breakage, allow the trays to cool completely before cleaning. Wash carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasives, as they may damage the finish. A soap-filled scouring pad may be used to clean the trays.

Both the upper and lower halogen lamp covers must be kept free of grease and food spatterings in order to operate effectively.

Clean the lamp glass covers often to avoid excess smoking and decreased cooking power.

Do not remove the halogen lamp glass covers.

To clean the upper and lower lamp covers: Allow the oven rack

(turntable) and glass covers to cool completely. Remove the oven rack (turntable) and wipe clean with a warm soapy cloth or plastic scrubbie. Replace the oven rack (turntable).

For heavy burned on soil, a cleaning scraper may be used to clean the halogen lamp covers. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the cleaning scraper at a 30° angle. Scrape the glass clean and wipe up excess soil.

How to clean the outside

Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the outside surface of the oven because they can damage the oven.

Case

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

Glass Control Panel and Door (on some models)

Wipe with a clean damp sponge. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can damage it.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

Clean with hot soapy water. Rinse and dry.

If food soil remains, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik®, Simple Green®, or Formula 409®.

For hard to clean soil, use a standard stainless steel cleaner, such as BonAmi® or Cameo®. Soils can be soaked several hours with wet towels. Apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly, and dry. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.

After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic®, Revere Copper and Stainless Steel Cleaner®, or Wenol All Purpose Metal Polish®. Follow the product instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

Grill

Use warm soapy water and a dishcloth to wipe off the grill.

Door Frame

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