SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons,
or exposure to excessive microwave energy:
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.
■ Do not store anything directly on top
of the oven surface when the oven is
in operation.
■ 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).
■ The fan will operate automatically under
certain conditions (see the Automatic Fan
section). Take care to prevent the starting
and spreading of accidental cooking fires
while the vent fan is in use.
■ Clean the underside of the oven often.
Do not allow grease to build up on the
oven or the fan filters.
■ In the event of a grease fire on the
surface units below the oven, smother
a flaming pan on the surface unit by
covering the pan completely with a lid,
a cookie sheet or a flat tray.
■ Use care when cleaning the vent fan
filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such
as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage
the filters.
■ When preparing flaming foods under the
oven, turn the vent fan on.
■ Never leave surface units beneath your
oven unattended at high heat settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite and spread if
the oven vent fan is operating. To
minimize automatic fan operation, use
adequate sized cookware and use high
heat on surface units only when
necessary.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

WARNING!
■ When microwaving, place all foods
and containers on the glass microwave
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
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.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
— Do not overheat the liquid.
— Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
— Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
— After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven for a short
time before removing the container.
— Use extreme care when inserting a
spoon or other utensil into the
container.
■ The oven and door will get very hot
when speedcooking or using the
oven/bake feature.
■ Cookware will become hot . 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.
■ Place food or oven-safe cookware
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
black metal tray.
■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
■ Use of the glass microwave tray with
the speedcook or oven/bake features
will result in inferior cooking
performance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
www.geadvantium.com
WARNING!
■ Place food or microwavable container
directly on the glass microwave tray to
cook your food.
■ Use of the 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 glass microwave 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
www.geadvantium.com
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.
■ 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING!
PACEMAKERS
All microwave ovens must meet Federal DHHS and FCC requirements. However,
the operation of some pacemakers may be affected by microwaves. Cognizant of this
problem, most pacemaker manufacturers have taken steps to minimize the susceptibility
of their products to external interference, including microwaves. Most new pacemakers
(1982 and later) are now protected from microwave interference. However, prior to
using your microwave oven it is recommended that persons with pacemakers consult
the manufacturer of the device for additional information and/or their physician to
ensure their pacemaker will not be affected by microwaves.

Congratulations! You are now part of the cooking revolution!
As part of the vision to help consumers live better, easier lives, GE Appliances introduces
the revolutionary GE Advantium oven with Speedcook technology. This new oven roasts,
grills, bakes, browns and broils, just like your conventional oven—only faster—and with
delicious results. You also save time because Advantium requires no preheating.
The information on the following pages will help you operate and maintain your new
Advantium oven. We appreciate your purchase, and hope you will continue to rely on us
whenever you need quality appliances for your home. We thank you for buying GE.
Introduction
What is Advantium?
www.geadvantium.com
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 radiant heat
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.
Speedcooking
■ A 500 watt halogen bulb and a 600 watt ceramic heater cook
food from above.
■ One 375 watt ceramic heater cooks food from below.
■ The convection fan ensures even heating.
Oven/Bake and Warming
■ One 1100 watt heater cooks food from above.
■ One 375 watt ceramic heater cooks food from below.
■ The convection fan ensures even heating.
Microwave
■ A microwave “boost” is automatically added with certain foods.
■ The oven can also be used as a 900 watt microwave oven.
