Advantium Oven
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 1away 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.
Microwave
-safe cookware

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.

How to Convection Bake
When cooking items that go directly onto the metal tray, do not place the tray into the oven during preheat. Place the food directly onto the tray, and place the metal tray with food onto the turntable after the oven is finished preheating.
When cooking items in a dish to be
placed on the metal tray, place the metal tray in the oven during preheat for optimum cooking performance.
For two-level baking, install the wire rack on the 4 rack supports and a metal tray on the turntable. Baking dishes can be placed directly onto the wire rack and the turntable.
If baking trays are required for cooking foods like cookies or biscuits, use the metal trays supplied with the oven to place on the wire rack and on the turntable for best performance.
Cooking Tips for Convection Baking
Convection Baking
Convection baking allows you to cook foods the same way as a conventional oven, using a heating element to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 250°F to 450°F may be set.
A fan gently circulates heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food. Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around the food, some foods cook slightly faster than in regular oven cooking.
Before you begin, make sure the turntable is in place. Use the metal tray at all times when single or two-level baking.
CAUTION!When baking, remember that the
oven, door and dishes will be very hot!
The turntable must always be
in place when using the oven.
Put food or oven-safe cookware
directly on the metal tray.
Put food directly on the metal tray or in the
appropriate dish and place on wire oven rack
when baking or warming on two levels.

How to Broil or Toast
Broiling and Toasting
Broil and toast use the upper lamps, lower heater and convection system to broil or toast food similar to a conventional oven.
Before you begin, make sure the turntable is in place. Use the metal tray when toasting and the metal tray or metal grill tray when broiling.
CAUTION!When broiling or toasting,
remember that the oven, door and dishes will be very hot!
The turntable must
always be in place when
using the oven.
Put food directly on the metal
tray or the metal grill tray.
Put food directly on the metal tray or the metal grill tray to
broil or toast food.
Broiling times may be shorter in the Advantium oven because of the use of halogen lamps. Make sure to monitor food closely to get the desired results.
For best results when broiling, place food directly on the metal grill tray.
Broiling meats in the oven may produce smoke.
If preheating the oven to broil meat, preheat with the metal grill tray in
the oven and place food on the hot metal tray for best searing of meat.
Most foods should be turned halfway through broiling time. Dense foods such as meaty, bone-in chicken pieces should be turned about 3/4 of the way through broiling time.
Remove thinner pieces as needed to prevent overcooking and drying.
Cooking Tips for Broiling
For best results when toasting, use the metal tray.
Most foods should be turned over 2/3 of the way through toasting time when not preheating.
When using the preheat option, turn food halfway through the cooking time.
To crisp exterior but maintain moistness inside foods, preheat the oven.
To crisp exterior and crisp the inside too, do not preheat the oven.
Toast thicker pieces a longer time, thinner pieces a shorter time.

Defrosting tips

Use DEFROST BY FOOD TYPE for meat, poultry and fish.
Use DEFROST BY TIME
for most other frozen foods.
Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the
package when using DEFROST BY TIME. Foods should be taken out of the package when using
DEFROST BY FOOD
TYPE
. Closed packages should be
slit, pierced or vented after food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be partially uncovered.
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.
Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as roasts, use DEFROST BY TIME. Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking.
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.
When defrosting 3 or more pounds of ground or cubed meat, remove defrosted portions at the turn signals.
Use DEFROST BY TIME to defrost for a selected length of time.
1. Press the DEFROST pad.
2. Turn the selector dial to DEFROST BY TIME. Press the dial to enter.
3. Turn the dial to select the time you want. Press the dial to enter.
4. Press the dial or START/PAUSE pad to start defrosting.
5. Turn the food over when the oven signals TURN FOOD OVER.
Power level is automatically set at 3, but can be changed. To change the power levels, see Microwave power levels for instructions.).
You can defrost small items quickly by raising the power level after entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to about 1/3. When defrosting at high power levels, food will need more frequent attention than usual.

Defrost by time

Microwaving

The sensor feature detects the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.
Do not use the sensor features twice in succession on the same food portion— it may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked after the first countdown, use COOK BY TIME for additional cooking time.
The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.
Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
Beverages are best heated uncovered.

Care and Cleaning
Advantium Oven and Accessory Storage Drawer (with some models)
29
Clean the inside of the oven often for proper heating performance.
Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others may require a warm soapy cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth.
If the dirt and spatter do not come off easily with a warm sudsy cloth, place a medium sized bowl full of water in the unit on the metal tray and CUSTOM SPEEDCOOK for 10 minutes at U=10, L=10, M=7, C=10. This should loosen the dirt in the oven so that it can be removed with a warm sudsy cloth.
If you notice yellowing on the metal inside the oven that cannot be removed with a warm sudsy cloth, use a stainless steel cleaner that removes heat discoloration and/or tarnishing. You can then clean the inside of the oven as you normally do.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls or the accessory storage drawer.
Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your oven or the accessory storage drawer.
Do not clean the inside of the oven or the accessory storage drawer with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad inside the oven, causing electrical shock as well as damaging the inside surface finish of the oven or the accessory storage drawer.
Be certain the oven control is turned off and the oven is warm or cool to the touch before cleaning any part of this oven.
How to clean the inside of the oven and the accessory storage drawer (with some models)
The area underneath the turntable should be cleaned frequently to avoid odors and smoking during a cooking cycle.
The turntable can be broken if dropped. Wash carefully in warm, sudsy water. Dry completely and replace.
To replace the turntable, place its center over the spindle in the center of the oven and turn it until it seats into place. (Make sure the smooth side of the turntable marked “TOP” is facing up and that its center seats on the spindle.)
Do not use the oven without the
turntable in place.
