IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4
WARNING!
■ Do not operate the oven without the turntable in place. The 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.
■ Potentially hot surfaces include the oven door, floor, walls, oven rack and turntable.
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■ 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.
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).
■ Use foil only as recommended in this manual.
■ Metal cookware or the wire oven rack 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.
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
■ When microwaving, place all foods and containers on the clear glass 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 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.

WARNING!
■ Do not use the wire oven rack for microwave.
■ Place food or microwavable container directly on the clear glass tray to cook your food.
■ Use of a metal tray during microwave cooking will result in inferior cooking performance.
■ If you are not sure if a dish is microwave­safe, use this test: Place both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with 1 cup of water in the oven. 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.
■ 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.
■ If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
■ Some foam 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.
■ 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.
■ 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 instructions. 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. Plastic 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 adult supervision.

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.
■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Getting to Know the Advantium

Advantium Oven
The 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 convection system and ceramic heater assist in the cooking, with a “microwave boost” added in some cooking algorithms. Food cooks evenly and fast, retaining its natural moisture.
Getting to know the Advantium
8
The Advantium oven is capable of speedcooking, convection baking, broiling, toasting, warming, proofing and microwaving. The Speedcook feature is the biggest benefit of the Advantium oven.
No preheating is required to speedcook. Place the food in the oven and start cooking immediately. You see timesaving because there is no preheat and because speedcook cooks faster.

Things that are normal

Cooking Times
■ When speedcooking preprogrammed foods, you may see OPTIMIZING COOK TIME in the display several seconds after you press START/PAUSE. The oven automatically senses the electrical voltage level in your home and adjusts the cooking time up or down for proper cooking.
Cooling Fans
■ The fans will be on during cooking. At the end of cooking, the fans may continue to run for a short time to cool internal components. The fans will automatically shut off when the internal parts of the oven have cooled.
■ The oven vent will emit warm air while the oven is on.
Lights
■ When the oven is on, light may be visible around the door or outer case.
■ The halogen lights will dim and cycle on and off during a speedcook cycle, sometimes even at full power levels. This is normal. The oven senses the heat level and adjusts automatically.
Oven Heat
■ No preheating time is required during Speedcook cycles. The oven begins cooking immediately.
■ The door and inside of the oven will be very hot. Use caution when opening the door and removing food. Be cautious of steam or vapor that may escape from around the door.
■ Do not use cookware or coverings made of paper, plastic, or foil when speedcooking.
■ When cooking for an extended period of time, the oven may automatically reduce the power levels to maintain the appropriate level of oven heat.
Sounds
■ Clicks and a fan blowing are normal sounds during cooking. The electronic control is turning components on and off.
Interference
■ TV/radio interference might be noticed
while using the microwave, similar to the interference caused by other small appliances. It does not indicate a problem with the microwave. Move the radio or TV as far away from the microwave as possible, or check the position of the TV/radio antenna.
