When microwaving, place all foods and m

containers on the clear glass tray.

Do not pop popcorn in your oven unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or m unless you use popcorn labeled for use in

microwave ovens.

m Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure will

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

m 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.

m 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.

m 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.

m 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.

m 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.

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 t_im or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled

"suitable for microwaving."

I Do not use the wire oven rack for

microwave.

II Place food or microwavable container

directly on the clear glass tray to cook your food.

II Use of a 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 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.

How to test for a

microwave-safe dish,

A CAUTION: Burn Risk

II 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.

m 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.

II 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.

II Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use

in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

II "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.

m Plcstic cookwore-Plcstic cookwore

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 convection system

and ceramic heater assist 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.

Oven Features

power level

[_:;'iii][!i!;i),0_•

The Advantium uses power from

high intensity halogen lamps, a ceramic heater, a convection system

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 or provides heating from the convection system.

For example: U-07 Upper halogen lamp on 70%

of the time.

L-07 Lower ceramic heater on

70% of the time.

M-05 Microwave on 50% of the

time.

C-07 Convection element heats

oven to 350°F.

Note: Be careful when adjusting power levels so you do not overcook

or undercook food.

Press the Speed Cook pad and select your food (follow

instructions from Using the pre- set speedcook menu).

Convection Baking

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.

Convection baking

Advantium Oven

Put food directly on the metal tray or in the

appropriate dish and place on wire oven rack

when baking or warming.

ACAUTION: 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.

Cooking Tips for Convection

Baking

II Metal pans are recommended

for all types of baked products,

but especially where browning is important.

II Dark or dull finish metal pans are

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

m Shiny aluminum pans are better

for cakes, cookies or muffins because they reflect heat and help

produce a light tender crust.

II Glass or glass-ceramic casserole

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

II When baking on one level, use the

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

Broiling and Toasting

Advantium Oven

Broiling

and Toasting

How to Broil

Cooking Tips for

Broiling

How to

Toast

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 grill tray.
