HOOD EXHAUST DUCT

Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT. Read the following carefully.

EXHAUST CONNECTION: The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a standard 3

?4″

x 10″ rectangular duct. If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round

transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than a 6″ diameter duct.

REAR EXHAUST: If a rear or horizontal exhaust is to be used, care should be taken to align exhaust with space between studs, or wall should be prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.

MAXIMUM DUCT LENGTH: For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3

?4″ x 10″

rectangular or 6″ diameter round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.

ELBOWS, TRANSITIONS, WALL AND ROOF CAPS, etc., present additional resistance

to airflow and are equivalent to a section of straight duct which is longer than their actual physical size. When calculating the total duct length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections. The chart below shows the approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.

Wall Stud

1. Find the studs, using one of the following

methods: A. Stud finder—a magnetic device which

locates nails.

B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the

mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate a stud installation.

After locating the stud(s), the center can be found by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud and then placing a mark halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs should be 16″ or 24″ from this mark.

2. Draw a line down the middle of the studs. THE OVEN MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT

LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

– 10 –

3. Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center

of the 30″ wide space. Use the mounting plate as the template for

the rear wall. Place the mounting plate on the wall, making sure that the tabs are against the bottom of the cabinet. Line up the notch and center line on the mounting plate to the center line on the wall.

To prepare the rear wall cutout opening and exhaust adaptor/mounting plate for outside back exhaust:

1. Place the mounting plate against the rear

wall as described in Step 7, item 3.

2. Using a pencil, put dots through slots F

and G, and through holes H and I. Remove the mounting plate and draw lines extending through the points. This will give the location and size of the box cutout for the rear wall duct.

MOUNT THE OVEN

FOR EASIER INSTALLATION AND PERSONAL SAFETY, WE RECOMMEND THAT TWO PEOPLE INSTALL THIS OVEN.

IMPORTANT: Do not grip or use handle during installation.

1. Locate the grease filters packed separately

and set aside. Thread the power cord through the hole in the bottom of the top cabinet. Keep the cord tight throughout Step 2.

• Attach the exhaust adapter to the rear

mounting plate by sliding it into the guides at the top center of the plate on the wall side.

Exhaust Adaptor

Slide exhaust adaptor into guides on rear panel.

Locking Tabs

Damper (hinge side up)

Mounting Plate (wall side)

Guides

Push in securely until it is past the top locking tabs and in the lower locking tabs. Take care to assure the damper hinge is installed so that it is at the top and that the damper swings freely.

• Carefully guide the exhaust adaptor, now

attached to the mounting plate, into the house duct, before using the screws to attach the plate to the wall. This will assure proper alignment for installation.

• Return to step 7, item 5 (page 9) to continue.

After completing the installation of the mounting plate, again check the rear damper for free movement to assure it will operate properly.

Install the oven by hooking the slots at the

back bottom edge onto the two lower tabs of the mounting plate. Rotate the front of the oven up against the cabinet bottom and using a self-aligning screw (hardware item 3) insert it through the top center cabinet hole and temporarily secure the oven by turning the screw two full turns. (It will be completely tightened later.) Be sure to keep power

cord tight. NOTE: If your cabinet is metal, use the

nylon grommet around the power cord hole to prevent cutting of the cord.

3. Attach the oven to the top cabinet.

NOTE:

1. You'll need to use a filler block if the cabinet

front hangs below the cabinet bottom shelf.

Cabinet Front

Cabinet Bottom Shelf

Oven T op

Filler Block

Minimum 3/16″

2. If your cabinet front hangs more than 23?4″

below the cabinet bottom, you may need to use longer screws than the ones provided with this product. The screws provided with this product (hardware item 3) are selfaligning, large-head machine screws

?4″ long, with SAE 28 threads per inch. It is

?4″ dia.,

important that you use replacement screws just long enough to attach the product to

the cabinet. The length can be determined by measuring the height of the overhang from the top of the cabinet floor to the bottom of the overhang and adding one inch to that length. This will be the length of the

?4″ SAE

28 threads per inch screws you need.

This is necessary to allow for clearances of inter

nal parts of your oven.

Insert 2 self-aligning screws (hardware item 3) through the outer top cabinet holes. Tighten the center screw completely and then the outer two screws to the top of the oven. (While tightening screws, lift the front side of the oven and push toward the wall.)

4. Install the grease filters and remove the tape

from the cooktop lamp covers on the bottom of the oven.

5. Secure the power cord to the cabinet wall, as

desired to keep excess length out of the way. Use the power cord strap (hardware item 7) and the black metal screw (hardware item 6).

6. For top exhaust on flat bottomed cabinets, open the top cabinet and attach the

exhaust adaptor to the oven through the cabinet bottom.

• Remove and discard the 2 screws for the blower plate.

• Position the exhaust adaptor (hardware item 5) over the blower plate, hinge side toward the back of the oven.

• Attach the exhaust adaptor to the blower plate using the 2 bronze metal screws provided (hardware item 6).

Make sure the damper moves freely in the exhaust adaptor.

Pull the house duct down to connect to the exhaust adaptor. Tape duct using duct tape.

You will also need to use washers

?4″ dia. to fit the screws you purchase. This will prevent the screw heads from pulling through the bottom of the cabinet when tightening during installation.

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

1. Make sure the oven has been installed

according to instructions.

2. Remove all packing material from the oven.

3. Replace house fuse or turn breaker back on.

4. Plug power cord into outlet.

5. Read the Owner's Manual.

ADVANTIUM™ OVERVIEW

Upper Halogen Lamp Assembly

Two 1500 watt halogen lamps provide heat from the top of the oven cavity. These elements are individually controlled by the smart board. These elements are used only for speedcooking operation; however, during microwave cooking the upper rear element can be energized for 5 seconds, by pushing the "Microwave Oven Light" pad on the control panel. This will illuminate the oven cavity long enough for the customer to see the contents inside the oven.

Black Metal Tray / Baking Sheet

Used during speedcooking only. Put food directly on the black metal tray and place on the oven rack (turntable) when using the speedcook features.

Black Metal Grill Tray / Baking Sheet

Used during speedcooking only. Put food directly on the black metal grill tray and place on the oven rack (turntable) when speedcooking food you would normally cook on a grill.

Lower Halogen Lamp Assembly

One 1500 watt halogen lamp provides heat from the bottom of the oven cavity. Used only during speedcooking.

Wave Guide

Microwave energy from the magnetron tube, is directed through the wave guide into the oven cavity.

Oven turntable

The turntable rotates the food during speedcook operation and during microwave operation. The rotation of food serves to evenly distribute the microwave energy and halogen heat.

Food Placement

To ensure consistent and even browning when cooking foods directly on the black metal tray, arrange food as shown below. Foods can touch but should not overlap.

Circular Pattern

(ex: biscuits, cookies)

(ex: biscuits, cookies, meats)

General Cooking Tips

•

Always check food for doneness at minimum

time. Use the same methods you would for conventional cooking. For example, check doneness of meat and poultry with a meat thermometer. Check cakes by inserting a toothpick near center.

• Add toppings, such as cheese or crumbs, and sauces, such as barbecue, during the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking time.

• Remember that the quantity of food affects cooking time. Larger quantities or sizes will increase cooking time; smaller amounts will cook in less time.

• To determine the weight of each piece of chicken divide the package weight by number of pieces.

• Select appropriate thickness for steaks.

• Adjust the cooking time by turning the selector dial. Turn clockwise to increase time or counterclockwise to decrease time.

• Fresh meat, chicken, fish or seafood that has been frozen should be thawed before cooking (the microwave defrost feature can be used). For other frozen prepackaged foods, follow package directions.

• To program your favorite recipe, press the Speedcook button. Turn the dial until Recipe appears. Press to enter. Follow the directions on the control. (For more detailed information, refer to your Owner's Manual.)

Circular Pattern

Spoke Pattern

(ex: crescent rolls, breadsticks)

USING THE OVEN

• Place the oven rack (turntable) on the floor of the oven for all cooking procedures. When cooking with the speedcook feature, place casseroles and baking dishes directly on the oven rack (turntable).

• The black metal tray is placed on the oven rack (turntable) and used for many speedcook functions. Use it for baking cookies, biscuits and rolls, grilling sandwiches, cooking pizzas and bite-size hors d'oeuvres. Fish fillets and chicken pieces can also be cooked on the black metal tray.

• The black metal grill tray is used for steaks, chops, burgers, chicken and fish that are usually cooked on a grill. Place the grill tray directly on the oven rack (turntable).

• Always place the white ceramic tray on the oven rack (turntable) when cooking with microwaves only. Place the cookware on the white ceramic tray.

• Brush the black metal tray or black metal grill tray lightly with olive or vegetable oil before cooking foods that might stick (example: boneless, skinless chicken breasts and fish fillets which contain little fat)

Single Layer

(ex: appetizers)

COOKWARE SELECTION

• Any oven-safe dish can be used in your oven. Recipes in the Advantium Cookbook were tested in Pyrex cookware and Corningware Cooktimes and results may vary when using other types of oven-safe dishes.

• Do not use metal utensils in the oven with the exception of 6-cup muffin pans. (Microwave power level must be set at zero). Place the muffin pan directly on the oven rack (turntable).

• Paper products and wraps should not be used in the Advantium oven when cooking with the speedcook feature.

• When using the speedcook feature, dishes, trays and the oven itself will be hot. Always use oven mitts or hot pads when removing dishes from the oven.

and Anchor Hocking®glass

ceramic casseroles.

CLEANING THE OVEN

• Light soil on oven walls, floor and inside win- dow can be removed with a paper towel or damp cloth. Remove greasy soil with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth.

• Let trays cool before cleaning. Wash in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

• Clean the oven rack (turntable) in warm, sudsy water, dry thoroughly and return to the oven.

• Always keep the upper and lower lamp covers clean for best cooking results. When cool, wipe off the covers with a damp cloth. For baked on soil use your cleaning scraper.

Adjusting Power Levels

Power from high intensity halogen lights and microwave cooks food from the top, bottom and interior simultaneously to seal in moisture and flavor. Power level settings can be adjusted when cooking both preset menu foods and your own recipes. Just press the power level button prior to pushing start. Turn the dial to select and press the dial to enter desired levels.

Upper Lamp

U L M

Setting

Each setting gives you halogen lamp power and

microwave energy for a certain percentage of the time.

Example: U=07 provides upper halogen lamp power

70% of the cooking time. L=07 provides lower halogen

lamp power 70% of the cooking time. M=05 provides

microwave energy for 50% of the cooking time.

Lower Lamp Setting

Microwave Setting

Follow these general guidelines when selecting the best U= L= M= settings for your favorite recipes:

U = Select a higher setting for thin foods requiring a golden brown top (example: fish fillets, toast, boneless chicken breasts). Select a lower setting for thicker foods and foods with high sugar or fat content (example: cakes, roasts).

L = Select a higher setting for thick or dense foods that may not cook quickly in the center (example: casseroles). Select a lower setting for thin foods (example: cookies) and foods containing high fat or sugar content (example: pastry, cakes).

M = Select a higher setting to shorten cooking time for dense or heavy foods (example: casseroles, whole chicken). Select a lower setting for delicate foods (example: cakes, breads, souffles) or foods requiring longer cook times for tender results (example: stew, pot roast).

POWER LEVELS

Advantium uses power from high intensity halogen lamps, as well as microwa ve energy , to cook foods evenly and quickly (average of one-four th the time of a conventional oven) to seal in moisture and flavor.

Example:Example:

Example: upper element set at 80% (U=08), lower

Example:Example:

element set at 50% (L=05) and microwav e set at 30% (M=03)

Select UPPER POWER: 5:00 U=08 L=05 M=03

Power levels are selected with the selector dial and can be adjusted before cooking or during cooking. When using preset menu foods, the power levels are already selected for you. However, power levels can be adjusted when cooking both preset menu food and when manual cooking.

Power levels are adjusted independently for the upper halogen lamps (pair), lower halogen lamp (single) and microwave energy. When selecting a upper halogen lamp power lev el, the power level can only be selected for the pair. You can not select power levels for the upper rear and upper front independently.

Power levels of 0 to 10 can be selected for the upper halogen lamps (pair), lower halogen lamp and microwav e energy. The pow er lev els control the percentage of “on” time for the upper halo- gen lamp pair, the lower halogen lamp and microwave high voltage circuit.

The programming on the smart board which controls the upper and lower halogen lamps, as well as the high voltage/magnetron circuits, operates on a duty cycle of 32 seconds. This means the power level you select for each component controls the percentage of “on” time during each 32 second period of time.

In the example shown in the upper right, the upper halogen lamps would cycle for 80% of each 32 second period, the lower would cycle at 50% of each 32 second period and the microwave high voltage circuit would be energized f or 30% of each 32 second period.

The upper halogen lamps provide radiant heat to the top surface of the food. Select a higher setting for thin foods requiring a golden brown top (example: fish fillets, toast, boneless chic ken breasts).

Select a lower setting for thin foods (e xample: cookies) and f oods containing high fat or sugar content (example: pastries, cakes).

Microwave Energy (M=)

Microwave energy is provided by the high voltage/magnetron circuit and directed via the wave guide directly into the oven cavity. As the food rotates on the oven turntable, microwa ve energy is evenly distributed to all portions of the food. Select a higher setting to shorten cooking time for dense or heavy foods (example: casseroles, whole chicken). Select a lower setting for delicate foods (e xample: cakes, breads, souffles) or foods requiring longer cooking times for tender results (example: stew, pot roast).

VOLTAGE COMPENSATION

V oltage fluctuations in the power lines can cause inconsistencies in cooking. Advantium automatically measures line voltage at the start of each speedcooking selection and adjusts the cook- ing time to achieve consistent quality results.

V oltage compensation occurs after approximately 5 seconds of cooking operation. The displa y will show “OPTIMIZING COOK TIME”. The time will flash and then display the new adjusted time, base on the amount of voltage compensation required.

Line voltage is monitored by the voltage compensation transformer, which is located on the smart board. This transf ormer monitors the voltage from L2 to neutral.

SMART BOARD

CN5

Voltage Compensation Circuit

The optimal line voltage where no voltage compensation occurs, is 120 VAC. Above 120VAC time is subtracted to the recipe. Belo w 120 VAC time is added. The amount of voltage compensation required is dependent upon the incoming voltage at the start of the cooking cycle, and the particular speedcooking selection that is chosen. The chart below shows the predicted compensation times based on a 5 minute speedcook selection (such as: Biscuits, Refr ; Large; 8 biscuits).

OPTIMIZING COOK TIME 9:55

OVEN LOCKED SELECT REM NITE MUTE TIMER

Voltage compensation only occurs during speedcook operation and only occurs once during the cooking cycle (at initial start of speedcook operation).

UPPER HALOGEN LAMP BALANCE

As stated previously, the upper halogen lamp pair operate together at the same power lev el. However, in order to provide even (balanced) cooking performance, the upper rear halogen lamp will always cycle at 85% of the upper front halogen lamp. In other words, if the upper halogen lamps are set at power lev el 10 (U=10) you would expect both elements to operate at 100% of each 32 second duty cycle. Instead, the upper rear halogen will cycle at 85% of power level 10, or 85% of 32 seconds. You will always notice the upper rear halogen lamp will cycle off just prior to the upper front.

COMPENSATION

THERMAL COMPENSATION

When cooking sever al food items consecutively, the temperature in the oven’s interior can become very hot. The Advantium speedcooking program (smart board) automatically compensates for the increased temperature by adjusting the cooking power levels of the upper and/or lower halogen lamps. This innovative technology gives you oven-quality food with consistent results.

Located inside of the oven ca vity (upper right rear) is a thermistor. At the start of each new speedcooking operation (just prior to voltage compensation occurring), the cavity thermistor reads the oven cavity temperature. Depending

– 25 –

upon the oven cavity temper ature and the amount of cooking time selected, the smart board will adjust the power level of the upper and/or the lower halogen lamps to compensate for the additional heat that may already exists in the oven cavity (if previous cooking occurred).

OVEN CAVITY THERMISTOR

Thermal compensation can affect the upper halogen lamp power level, the lower halogen lamp power lev el or both the upper and lower halogen power levels simultaneously. Thermal compensation can lower the upper halogen pair by 1, 2 or 3 power levels. The lower halogen lamp can also be reduced by 1, 2 or 3 power levels, but never independently of the top halogen lamp pair . In other words, thermal compensation on the lower lamps will never be greater than the compensation occurring on the top lamps. It is possible howe ver to hav e thermal compensation occurring on the upper halogen lamp pair, but not on the lower.

Neither the upper halogen lamp pair, or the lo wer halogen lamp can be compensated below power levels of 2. In other w ords, if a power le vel of 3 is selected for either the upper halogen pair , or the lower halogen lamp, then thermal compensation can only reduce the power level by a maximum of 1 power level.

levels) depends upon the temperature of the o ven cavity at the start of the speedcook operation and the amount of time selected.

When thermal compensation occurs, it is not possible to see the adjusted power le v els in the display. If you where to press the power level pad during a speedcook operation, in which thermal compensation occurred, you would not see the adjusted power levels in the display. In fact, what you would see is the original power level setting. Ho wever, y ou can visually see compensation occurring by carefully observing the cycling of the halogen lamps.

CAUTION: when viewing the halogen lamps, do not stare directly into the face of the door window. View the oven interior from a distance far enough not to cause eye strain.

Thermal Compensation Test

To better understand this operation you can perform the following test (only if the oven cavity is at room temperature). Remove the pan from the oven so you can see both the upper and lower halogen lamps. Select Speedcook, Meats, Hamburger, 1/2 inch thick, 1-2 patties. The following will show in the display:

ADJUST TIME or START 3:00 U=10 L=10 M=10

OVEN LOCKED SELECT REM NITE MUTE TIMER

Notice that the display shows pow er levels of 10 for each cooking component. During this test you will be operating the oven with no load. For this reason, it will be necessary to adjust the micro- wave power level to zero (M=00). To do this, press the power lev el button on the control panel. Leave the upper and lower power levels at 10 (U=10 L=10), and adjust the microwave to zero (M=00).

Thermal compensation only occurs when oven cavity temperatures are higher than normal from the previous cooking operation. When thermal compensation is required, it will occur immediately upon the start of a new speedcook operation (just prior to voltage compensation occurring) and there will be no indication in the display that thermal compensation has occurred.

Start the speedcook operation and carefully notice the cycling of the halogen lamps. At power levels of 10, both the upper halogen pair , and the lower halogen lamp should be on 100% of the time. However, remember that the upper rear halogen lamp always cycles at 85% of the upper halogen power level setting; so you will be able to see the upper rear halogen lamp cycle off briefly (see “

UPPER HALOGEN LAMP BALANCE - Pg

set the microwave po wer level to zero (

M=00).

Once again pay attention to the halogen lamp cycling. Since the oven is now hot, you should be able to visually see thermal compensation occurring. You will notice that both the upper and lower halogen lamp power levels have been decreased by some amount.

THERMAL PROTECTION

If oven cavity temperatures reach some where in the range of 500 to 600 degrees, or if a speedcooking selection is chosen which exceeds 12 minutes of cooking at halogen lamp power lev els (upper and lower) greater than 7, all power levels (upper, low er and microwav e) will be reduced to 7 for the remainder of the speedcooking selection. This system allows for safe exterior operating temperatures.

In the unlikely event that thermal protection is required, the consumer will not notice any change in the display readout (no power level change indication), however, they may notice that the halogen lamps are cycling differently than the expected, due to the change in power levels.

SMART BOARD

What is important to note is that while the power levels have been reduced (thermal compensation) the power lev els which will show in the display (if you touch the power level pad while speedcooking operation is occurring) will be the original power levels (U=10, L=10 and M=00).

From a consumer’s point of view , if the consumer were to cook two hamburger patties, and then immediately cook two more patties, they could notice the halogen lamps cycling differently with the same selection used each time. This is perfectly normal when thermal compensation occurs. The consumer’s Use & Care manual state the following:

Page 20 - Lights (Use & Care Guide) The halogen lights will dim and cycle on and off

during a speedcook cycle, sometimes even at full power lev els. This is normal. The oven senses the heat level and adjusts automatically.

Page 41 - T roub leshooting, Lights (Use & Care Guide)

Light during a speedcook cycle dims and cycles on and off, e v en at full po w er levels. This is normal. The power le v el has been automatically reduced because the oven is hot. The oven senses the heat level and adjusts automatically.

OVEN CAVITY THERMISTOR

As was the case with thermal compensation, the control is provided by the thermistor and smart board, with the thermistor sensing the oven cavity temperature and the control board providing the proper responses to lower all power le vels to

THERMAL SAFETY

In the unlikely ev ent that internal oven cavity temperatures exceed 600+ degrees F., speedcooking operation will be terminated.

The oven cavity thermistor is constantly sensing oven cavity temperatures and providing input to the smartboard. When the smar tboard determines that 600+ degrees F. has been reached, it will terminate speedcooking operation and return the oven display to its nor mal off position (with time-of-day clock sho wing in the displa y). When the unit cools, it will return to normal operation.

During speedcooking operation (recipe or manual speedcook), the metal damper door rotates into the damper chamber, closing off air flow from the magnetron blower into the ov en cavity , and blocking the oven cavity lamp from illuminating the oven interior. In doing so, heat from the oven interior is contained in the oven cavity.

During microwave o ven cooking, the damper door is fully open allowing air to travel through and around the magnetron tube, into the oven cavity (see illustration upper right).

Door Sensing Switch

The damper door sensing switch is mounted to the damper duct. The switch monitors the metal door position and provides this information to the smart board (metal damper door open or metal damper door closed) which controls the direction and operation of the damper door motor. If the damper door sensing switch shorts, or opens,

• Speedcooking - At the initial start of speedcooking operation, the damper door will close, sealing off the damper duct from the oven cavity. The damper door will remain in the closed position during the entire speedcook operation, depressing the damper door sensing switch.

• Microwave oven cooking - At the initial start of microwave cooking, the damper door will cycle one complete revolution (completely close and then reopen) and stop in the open position (damper door sensing switch not depressed). The oven cavity lamp will not illuminate during microwave operation.

The upper and lower halogen blowers only run during speedcooking operations (speedcook recipe or manual speedcook selections). Both motors pull in fresh air from outside the unit (upper from the grille and lower from the vent hood) and direct the air across the halogen lamps.

Upper Halogen Blower

As you will note from the “airflow” illustration on the next page, the upper halogen b lower pulls air in from the upper grille area (air inlet tunnel). The air is then directed (blown) across the upper halogen lamp pair and exhausted back into the room through the air outlet tunnel. The hot air directed across the upper halogen pair is not controlled or directed by the vent motor.

The lower halogen blower draws room air in through the front grille (air inlet tunnel). The air is pulled into the magnetron blower area; down into the inlet of the lower halogen blower and directed (blows) across the halogen lamps. The air is then pulled up the left side of the unit (see illustration next page) and removed by the vent blower (exhausted to the outside).

DIAGNOSING COOKING PROBLEMS

An important par t of diagnosing any consumer cooking concern is listening carefully to the consumer describe the problem. Equally important is asking the consumer the right questions. The following diagnostic inf ormation is intended as a guide for you to f ollow when addressing cooking concerns:

Food Items Appear to be Under Cooked

Foods which appear to be under cooked or partially cooked can be the result of anyone of the following items. The possible causes listed below are sorted from most likely to least likely , with item #1 being the first item that you should check.

1. Is the consumer selecting the correct type of cooking (microwave vs speedcook), and/or is the consumer using the correct time and power levels for the type, size and quantity of food being cooked (see the Advantium cooking guide - Page 18 of this service guide)?

2. Is the consumer using the correct cookware for the type of food being cooked (see pages 5 & 17 of the Use & Care guide, page 5 & 6 of the Advantium cookbook, and page 20 of this service guide)?

3. Is the consumer arranging the food properly on the metal cooking trays (see page 20 of this service guide)?

4. Is the turntable operating properly so that microwave energy and halogen heat is being evenly distributed to the food?

5. Inspect the upper and lower halogen lamp covers to ensure that they are free of grease and food spatterings. Build ups of grease and food spatterings can cause a decrease in cooking performance.

6. Confirm proper line voltage to the unit (check voltage under full load).

7. Confirm that voltage compensation is operating properly (see pages 25 and 59 of this service guide for details and diagnostic information).

8. Confirm that the upper and lower halogen lamps are operating (illuminating).

9. Check upper and lower halogen lamp operation at power level 10 and again at power level 5 to be sure that lamps are cycling properly. At this point you must

have a thorough understanding of power level operation, upper halogen lamp balance operation, and thermal compensation (see pages 24-27 and page 59 of this service guide for detailed information).

10. Perform a microwave performance test (Pg. 48) to confirm that microwa ve energy output (HV/magnetron circuit) is operating to specification (see mini manual inside control panel area for performance test procedures and expected results).

11. Are all fan motors operating properly (Pg.

30)? During speedcook operation motors must operate (vent fan {slow speed}, upper halogen lamp blower , lower halogen lamp blower, and magnetron blower). Improper airflow can cause the halogen lamps or magnetron tube to cycle on the thermal cut outs (TCOs).

ALL fan

Food Items Appear to be Over Cooked or Burned

Foods which appear to be ov er cooked or burned, can be the result of anyone of the follo wing items. The possible causes listed below are sorted from most likely to least likely, with item #1 being the first item that you should check.

2. Is the consumer using the correct cookware for the type of food being cooked (see pages 5 &17 of the Use & Care guide, page 5 & 6 of the Advantium cookbook, and page 20 of this service guide)?

3. Is the consumer arranging the food properly on the metal cooking trays (see page 20 of this service guide)?

4. Is the turntable operating properly so that microwave energy and halogen heat is being evenly distributed to the food?

5. Confirm proper line voltage to the unit (check voltage under full load).

6. Confirm that voltage compensation is operating properly (see pages 25 & 59 of

tic information).

7. Check upper and lower halogen lamp operation at power level 10 and again at power level 5 to be sure that lamps are cycling properly. At this point you must have a thorough understanding of power level operation, upper halogen lamp balance operation, and thermal compensation (see pages 24-27 and page 59 of this service guide for detailed information).

8. Confirm that thermal compensation is operating properly, by following the hamburger recipe selection test outlined in the thermal compensation section of this service guide (see page 26).

DIAGNOSING A “DEAD” UNIT

A “dead” unit is better defined as a unit that appears to have no power to it (no clock display, oven cavity lamp, or keypanel responses). The following components and associated wiring should be checked in the below order when diagnosing a “dead” unit.

- Low voltage transformer (open primary winding)

- Open magnetron tube thermal cut out

- Open thermal fuse

- Defective smar t board

- Check all associated wiring and wiring connections

1. Confirm power at the electrical outlet (120 volts AC on each leg - L1 to Neutral and L2 to Neutral).

POWER CORD

2. At the power cord head, use your volt/ohm meter and check the resistance from L1

to Neutral. The resistance should be approximately 24.5 ohms. Note: the resistance reading that you just made is shown in the schematic diagram at the upper right hand corner of this page (low voltage transformer primary resistance).

3. If you do not read continuity from L1 to Neutral, suspect the following:

- Open fuse

- Open cavity thermal cut out (T.C.O)

3. If you read approximately 24 ohms from L1 to Neutral suspect a defective smart

board, loose wiring connection or open secondary winding of the low voltage transformer.

MICROWAVE PERFORMANCE TEST

This test will verify that the microwav e ov en high voltage and magnetron circuits are operating to performance specifications.

1. Using only a WB64X0073 beaker, place a standard test load of 1 liter (1000 ml) of water in the beaker . Measure and record the water temperature prior to making the test. The water temperature should be between 59° F. and 75° F.

2. Place the beaker in the center of the oven on the white ceramic microwave cooking tray.

3. Close the oven door. At the front control panel, select: Microwave - Time Cook 2:03 Minutes - Power Level 10. Press START to begin microwave cooking.

Select COOK TIME 2:03 M=10

OVEN LOCKED SELECT REM NITE MUTE TIMER

4. At the end of the cooking cycle, remove the beaker of water and measure and record the temperature.

5. The minimum difference between the initial and ending temperatures should be 32° F at 120 VAC.

If the water temperature rose, but did not reach the 32° F. minimum, suspect a problem with the line voltage (test under full load) or magnetron tube/high voltage circuit.

If the water temperature did not rise at all, suspect a problem in the high voltage circuit.

HUMIDITY SENSOR TEST

2. Using an ohm meter, set the scale to RX1000, and confirm the following approximate resistance readings.

a. BLK - RED = 6.2K ohms b. RED - WHT = 3.1K ohms c. BLK - WHT = 3.1K ohms

BLK

RED WHT

MICROWAVE LEAKAGE TEST

Caution: this test should not be performed during a speedcook operation. This test should only be performed during microwave only operation. To perform a microwave leakage test, follow the below steps:

1. Place 275 ml. of water in a 600 ml. beaker (WB64X5010 - 600 ml beaker).

2. Place the beaker on the white ceramic tray .

3. Set the leakage meter to the 2450 MHz

scale.

4. Program the microwave for 5 minutes (power level 10).

5. Hold the probe per pendicular to the surface being tested and scan surfaces at a rate of one inch/sec. Scan the following areas:

- Entire door and control panel area

- Viewing surface of door window

- Exhaust vents

This test should only be conducted at room temperature (room temperature should not exceed 95° F.). Be sure that the oven cavity is dry and free of moisture. The humidity sensor can be tested from the front control panel area using the following diagnostic procedure:

1. Disconnect the humidity sensor connector from the smart board (CN4, 3 pin - red connector plug located at the top of the smart board).

– 48 –

6. The maximum allowable leakage should not exceed 4 MW/CM

. 4 MW/CM2 is used to allow for measurement and meter accuracy.

7. Inform the manufacturer of any oven f ound to have emissions in excess of 5 MW/

. Instruct the owner not to use the oven until it has been brought into compliance.

8. Record the data on your ser vice invoice and/or microwave leakage repor t.

KEY PANEL TEST

If necessary, the keypanel pad/switches can be verified by a continuity test. For ease of handling, the key panel should be removed and placed on a flat protected surface. Check continuity between the connections at the CN3 connector plug.

Pressing the CLEAR pad will remove the fault code display, unless the failure is a shorted keypanel s witch. Detection of a failed sensor will have no effect on features that do not use that sensor.

F4 (open or shorted humidity sensor) and F6 (high cavity temperature during microwa ve cooking) codes apply only to microwav e cooking. The chart below indicates failure modes which can be detected and displayed:

DISPLAY FAILURE DETECTED

F1 Oven cavity thermistor open F2 Oven cavity thermistor shorted F3 Keypanel shorted (> 60 seconds) F4 Humidity sensor open or shorted F6 High cavity temperature detected

during microwave oven cooking

To perfor m the test, press the appropriate pad on the front panel. While pressing the pad, check for continuity between the appropriate pins. For example, while pressing the selector DIAL you should read continuity between pins 1 & 10.

Quality begins and ends with our customers.

Six Sigma is the key to GE products innovation and ongoing customer satisfaction.

What is Six Sigma

Six Sigma is a rigorous, structured and comprehensive approach to improving quality processes at every level of the company’s operation.

How has Six Sigma affected Advantium?

Design - An award winning design makes Advantium simple to learn, easy to use and ergonomically appealing. Adv antium was intended — and — designed for all kinds of people, from the start.

Performance - Advantium puts technology to work for people.

• More than 100 preprogrammed food menus. The inno vative dial control lets y ou

access programmed menus with a simple turn-and-tap function.

• Voltage Compensation - Electronic soft-

ware senses normal voltage fluctuations in power lines, automatically adjusts cooking times to optimize performance — and food results.

ADDENDUM

LAST MINUTE ADDITIONS TO THE MANUAL

The items included in this addendum were added at the last minute, just prior to the printing of this service guide. Please read each of these items carefully and note their reference to other sections and topics within the service guide.

Voltage & Thermal Compensation

Pages 25-27 describe voltage and thermal compensation. It is important to note that voltage and thermal compensation only occur during

SPEEDCOOK operation (preselect

menu item). In other words , when cooking with

MANUAL COOK, ther-

mal and voltage compensation do not occur. When using

SPEEDCOOK, you are selecting

preselected items from a menu. These items require compensation in order for accurate and consistent cooking results.

Thermistor , Oven Cavity

The oven cavity thermistor has a negative temperature coefficient. In other words, as the temperature of the thermistor probe (located inside the oven cavity - see page 26) increases, the resistance of the thermistor decreases. The resistance of the thermistor changes quickly with small changes in temperature. In fact, y ou can squeeze the thermistor and see the resistance change fairly quickly.

At room temperature, the thermistor should read approximately 150K-220K ohms.

face below the Adv antium rise into the base hood of the oven, the Base Hood TCO (see page 53) senses this temperature. When the temperature of the TCO reaches 133°F/56°C, the TCO trips (contact close) and signal the Smart Board to turn on the vent fan. When the temperature of the TCO cools to 104°F/40°F, the TCO will open and signal the Smart Board to tur n off the vent fan.

The important item to note is that this feature is not controllable by the consumer, but is instead fully automatic.

Relay Board Assembly Removal

The relay board can be replaced from the front of the oven. This board receives control inputs from the Smart Board, which in turn activates and deactivates relays on the relay board (turning the halogen lamps on and off as required).

To replace the board, remove the screw shown in the illustration to the right. Once this screw is remove , gently lift upward on the board, in order to release the mounting tab on the back of the plastic bracket. This tab secures the relay board assembly (relay board and plastic mounting bracket).

Cleaning

Microwave Sensor Cooking

Clean the inside of the oven after each use. Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others may require a warm soapy cloth. Remo ve greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls. Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your oven. Do not clean the inside of the oven with metal scouring pads.

Both the upper and lower halogen lamp covers must be kept free of grease and f ood spatterings in order to operate effectively. To clean the upper and lower lamp covers, remo ve the turntable. Wipe the covers with a warm soapy cloth or plastic scrubbie.

If you want to microwave sensor cook, and the oven is already hot from pre vious speedcooking, the display ma y indicate that it is too hot f or sensor cooking - this is normal. Of course, y ou can always continue with

TIME COOK or SPEEDCOOK.

Child Lock-Out

The control panel can be locked-out to prevent the oven from accidentally being started or used by children.

Press and hold the CLEAR/OFF pad for appro ximately 3 seconds to lock-out the control panel. To unlock the control panel, perform the same step.

Door Removal

To remove the oven door open it a full 90° (see illustration below). With the door open, lift upward on the door to disengage the top hinge. Gently pull backwards on the top of the door to totally release it from the hinge, while at the same time lifting upward to remove the door from the lower hinge.

For heavy b urned on soil, a cleaning scraper may be used to clean the halogen lamp covers.

Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the outside of the oven because they can damage the oven.

T o clean the vent filters , soak them and then swish them around in a hot water and detergent solution. Don’t use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the metal.

IMPORTANT NOTE: A microwave leakage test

must be performed any time a door is removed, replaced, disassembled, or adjusted for an y reason. The maxim um allowable leakage is 4MW/

(see page 48).
