ARCING
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.
Arcing can occur during both speedeooking and microwave cooking. If you see arcing, press the
CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.
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).
Cook meat and poult U thoroughly- meat to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 160°F, and poulu T to at least an INTERNAL temperature of
180 °F. Cooking to these temperatures
usually protects against foodborne illness.
Keep the oven Dee from grease buildup.
Potentially hot surfaces include the oven door, floor, walls and oven rack
(turntable).
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.
THE VENT
FAN
The fan will operate automatically under
certain conditions (see the AutomatieFan 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.

When microwaving, place all foods
and containers on the white ceramic

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.
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 fi)r cooking steaks, fish and poulu y.
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 the), reach the boiling
point. Th,eycan actually get supe_t_eated
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 inju U, do not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the mi(rowave for 30 seconds before moving it or putting anything into it.
Place food directly on the trays
when cooking.
Any oven-safe dish can be used in your oven. Recipes in the Advantium

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Advantium Oven
Microwave-
¢OOkZOglYe
The oven ra&
(_)urntable ) must always
e in place when using
the oven.
The white ceramic tray
should alwa)'s be in -
place when
mlerowavlng.
Make sure to use suitable co&ware during microwave cooking. Most glass casseroles,
cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, potte U or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labe#d
"suitab# fiw microwaving. "
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 ifa 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.
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 inju U. 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 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 2. microwave ovens. 3.
Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is packaged on) have a thin strip
and face.
Plastic cookware-Plastic cookware
designed for microwave cooking is
veU 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 guidefines:
1. Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance
with the cookware manufacturer's recommendations.
Do not microwave empty containers. Do not permit children to use
plastic cookware without complete supei_vision.

Adva_ti_lm Ove_
Don't defrost Dozen 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 fl)llowing: before removing the container from the oven,
allow the container to stand in the oven fk)r 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 a'nd Clea'ning of the ove'n section fi)r
instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.
Hot fl)ods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any
containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injm T, direct steam away Dom 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 fiT in the 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 fi)ods much like conventional
radiant heat, while also penetrating
the surface so the inside cooks simultaneously. While halogen light
is the prima U source of power, a "microwave boost" is added with
certain foods. Foods cook evenly and
fast, retaining their natural moisture.

m
Foods fiozen 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.
m
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.
m
Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit out for more than
one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth
of harmtifl bacteria.
m For more even defrosting of
larger foods, such as roasts, use
DEFROST (AUTO). Be sure large
meats are completely defrosted befiwe cooking.
m 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.
