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.
3ODVWLFFRRNZDUH³3ODVWLFFRRNZDUH
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.

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.
10
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.
Oven Features

Start/Pause. The oven automatically senses
the electrical voltage level in your home
and adjusts the cooking time up or
down for proper cooking.
Cooling Fans
The fans will be on during cooking. At the
end of cooking, the fans may continue
to run for a short time to cool internal
components. The fans will automatically
shut off when the internal parts of the oven
have cooled. The screen will display “Oven
is Cooling”.
The oven vent will emit warm air while
the oven is on.
The exhaust fan may come on
automatically if the oven becomes hot. See
Automatic fan section.
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.
Burn Risk
The turntable must always be in
place when using the oven.
Put food directly on the metal
tray to speedcook.
Speedcooking meats in the oven may
produce smoke.
To cook for additional time after a cooking
cycle has been completed, use the Resume
feature as instructed on the display.
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. Be cautious of steam
or vapor that may escape from around the
door.
Do not use cookware or coverings made
of paper, plastic, or foil when speedcooking.
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 electronic
control is turning components on and off.
Interference
TV/radio interference might be noticed
while using the microwave, similar to
the interference caused by other small
appliances. It does not indicate a problem
with the microwave. Move the radio or TV as
far away from the microwave as possible, or
check the position of the TV/radio antenna.

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 Convection 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
when baking or warming.
CAUTION
Burn Risk
When baking, remember that the oven, door and
dishes will be very hot!
Per USDA Guidelines, cook meat to an INTERNAL
temperature of at least 160°F, and poultry to an
INTERNAL temperature of at least 180°F. Cooking
to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness. For more information, see www.
foodsafety.gov.
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
20
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.

Cooking
Tips for
Toasting
Broiling times may be shorter in the
Advantium oven because of the
use of halogen lamps. Make sure
to monitor food closely to get the
desired results.
For best results when broiling, place
food directly on the metal tray.
Broiling meats in the oven may
produce smoke.
1. Press the Options pad.
2. Turn the dial to TOAST and press to
enter.
3. Turn the dial to set the toast time,
place the food in the oven and select
START or press the Start/Pause pad to

For best results when toasting, use
the metal tray.
No turning is necessary for most
foods.
When toasting nuts, stir halfway
through the cooking time.
If preheating the oven to broil meat,
preheat with the metal tray in the
oven and place food on the hot
metal tray for best searing of meat.
For best performance, preheat the
oven for 5 minutes when broiling
meat. Chicken performs best with
no preheating.
Foods should be turned halfway
through broiling time.
Remove thinner pieces as needed to
prevent overcooking and drying.
If the oven door is opened during cooking,
“Pause” will appear in the display. Close
the door and press the Start/Pause pad.
Toast thicker pieces a longer time,
thinner pieces a shorter time.

Interference
TV/radio interference might be
noticed while using the microwave,
similar to the interference caused by
other small appliances. It does not indicate
a problem with the microwave. Move
the radio or TV as far away from the
microwave as possible, or check the
position of the TV/radio antenna.
When cooking bacon, layer strips on a
plate. Cover each layer with a paper towel.
When cooking vegetables, use a
microwave-safe casserole or bowl. Cover
with a microwave-safe lid or vented plastic
wrap.
Oven Heat
Cookware may become hot because of
heat transferred from the heated food.
Oven mitts may be needed to handle
the cookware.
Steam or vapor may escape from around
the door.
For frozen vegetables, follow the package
instructions for adding water.
For fresh vegetables, add 2 tablespoons of
water for each serving.
