Arcing can occur during both speedcooking and microwave cooking. If _tou see arcing,
press the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the oroblem.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused bg:
[] Metal or foil touching the side of
the oven.
[] Foil not molded to food (upturned
edges act like antennas).
[] Use foil only as recommended in
this manual.
[]
Cook meat and poultrg thoroughlg- meat to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of Z60°F, and poultr U to at least an INTERNAL temperature of
Z80°F. Cooking to these temperatures
usuallg protects against foodborne illness.

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,

[] 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.
[]
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.
[] "Bailable" 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 the U 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.

What is Advantium?
Advantium Oven
Getting to know
Advantium
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.

Defrosting
tips
Use DEFROST BY FOOD TYPEfor meat, poultry and fish. Use DEFROST BY TIME
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 BY
FOOD TYPE.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 BY TIME. 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.

Microwave sensor
cooking
The sensor feature detects the
increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various tbtpes and
amounts of food.
Do not use the Sensor Features twice in
succession on the same food portion- it may result in severely overcooked or
burnt food. If food is undercooked after the first countdown, use COOK BY TIME for additional cooking time.
The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.
[]
Alwags use microwave-safe
containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use
tight sealing plastic containers-theg
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 drg before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture
turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
