FOODS

nWhen microwaving, place all foods and

containers on the clear glass tray.

n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.

n Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure will

build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

n 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.

n 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.

n 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.

n 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.

n 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.

n Do not overcook potatoes. They could

dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

n 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.

n Do not attempt to deep fry in the oven.

n 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.

Microwavesafe cookware

The turntable must

always be in place when

using the oven.

The clear glass tray

should always be in place

when microwaving.

WARNING!

Make sure to use suitable cookware during microwave cooking. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving.”

n Do not use the wire oven rack for

microwave.

n Place food or microwavable container

directly on the clear glass tray to cook your food.

n Use of a metal tray during microwave

cooking will result in inferior cooking performance.

n 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.

How to test for a

microwave-safe dish.

CAUTION: Burn Risk

n Cookware may become hot because

of heat transferred from the heated food. Oven mitts may be needed to handle the cookware.

n 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.

n If you use a meat thermometer while

cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

n 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.

n 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.

n 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.

n Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use

in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

n “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.

n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 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.

Getting to Know the Advantium

Advantium Oven

Getting to know the Advantium

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.

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. Time is saved because there is no preheat and because speedcook cooks faster.
