WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

Advantium Oven

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

■ 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).

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 manual.

ARCING

Arcing can occur during both speedcooking and microwave cooking. If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.

Advantium Oven

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

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

■ 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 for cooking steaks, fish and poultry.

■ Place food 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 oven rack (turntable).

■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.

■ Use of the white ceramic tray when

speedcooking will result in inferior cooking performance.

Advantium Oven

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

■ 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 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 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.

■ “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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

How to test for a

microwave-safe dish.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

What is Advantium?

Advantium Oven

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.

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.

Halogen Lamps

■ Two 1500 watt halogen bulbs cook food from above.

■ One 1500 watt halogen bulb cooks food from below.

Microwave

■ A microwave “boost” is automatically added with certain foods.

■ The oven can also be used as a 950 watt microwave oven.

Lower Vent

■ The oven emits air from the vent below the door.
