READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
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.
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.
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:

FOODS
6
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 microwave-
safe, 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.
CAUTION Burn Risk
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.

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must
be grounded. In the
event of an electrical
short circuit,
grounding reduces
the risk of electric
shock by providing
an escape wire for
the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service
technician if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 3-prong wall outlet,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded
30 ampere, 4-prong wall outlet.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove
the ground prong from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.
Do not use an extension cord with this
appliance. If the power cord is too short, have
a qualified electrician or service technician
install an outlet near the appliance.
For best operation, plug this appliance into its
own electrical circuit to prevent flickering of
lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit
breaker.
The fan will operate automatically under
certain conditions (see Vent Fan section). Take
care to prevent the starting and spreading of
accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in
use.
Clean the underside of the Advantium often.
Do not allow grease to build up on the
Advantium or the fan filters.
In the event of a grease fire on the surface
units below the Advantium, smother a
flaming pan on the surface unit by covering
the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet
or a flat tray.
Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters.
Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-
based oven cleaners, may damage the
filters.
When preparing flaming foods under the
Advantium, turn the fan on.
Never leave surface units beneath your
Advantium unattended at high heat
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread
if the Advantium vent fan is operating. To
minimize automatic fan operation, use
adequate sized cookware and use high heat
on surface units only when necessary.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use.

WARNING
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
10
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.

feature as instructed on the display.
Things that
are normal
Cooking Times
When speedcooking pre-set menu 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 screen will display
“Oven is Cooling”.
The oven vent will emit warm air while the
oven is on.
The exhaust fan may come on
automatically if the oven becomes hot. See
Automatic Fan section.
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.

power level
The Advantium uses power from high
intensity halogen lamps, a ceramic
heater, a convection system and
microwaves to cook food from the top,
bottom and interior simultaneously to
seal in moisture and flavor.
When using the pre-set menu foods,
the power levels are already selected
for you. However, power levels can
be adjusted when using pre-set menu
foods and MY RECIPE.
Each power level gives you halogen
lamp or ceramic heater power and
microwave energy for a certain
percentage of the time or provides
heating from the convection system.
For example:
U–07 Upper halogen lamp on 70%
of the time.
L–07 Lower ceramic heater on 70%
of the time.
M–05 Microwave on 50% of the
time.
C–07 Convection element heats
oven to 350ºF.
Note: Be careful when adjusting
power levels so you do not overcook
or undercook food.
1. Press the Speed Cook pad and
select your food (follow instructions
from Using the pre-set speedcook
menu).
2. When display shows EDIT, SAVE or
START, turn the dial to select EDIT.
If you do not want to change one
of the settings, just press the dial to
move to the next selection.
3. Press the dial if you do not want to
adjust cooking time.
4. Turn the dial clockwise to increase
or counterclockwise to decrease
the upper power level. Press the
dial to enter.
5. Turn the dial to change the lower
power level. Press the dial to enter.
6. Turn the dial to change the

Press the Start/Pause
pad
or the
selector dial to start cooking.

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: muffins, roasts,
casseroles) or that require a
longer cook time.
L = Select a higher setting for thick or
dense foods that may not cook
quickly in the center (example:
steaks, casseroles). Select a lower
setting for thin foods (example:
cookies).
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: breads)
or foods requiring longer cook
times for tender results (example:
stew, pot roast).
C = Select a lower setting for more
delicate foods that cook at lower
temperatures. Select a higher
setting (7 or above) for more
robust foods or foods that cook at
temperatures above 350ºF.
Follow these general guidelines when selecting the best U=, L=, M= and C=

How to
Convection
Bake
Metal pans are recommended
for all types of baked products,
but especially where browning is
important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are
best for breads and pies because
they absorb heat and produce
crisper crust.
Shiny aluminum pans are better
for cakes, cookies or muffins
because they reflect heat and help
produce a light tender crust.
Glass or glass-ceramic casserole
or baking dishes are best suited
for egg and cheese recipes due to
the cleanability of glass.
When baking on one level, use the
lower level. The top clips are to
only be used in two level baking.
Cooking Tips
for Convection
Baking
Convection
Baking
Convection baking allows you to cook foods
the same way as a conventional oven, using an
element to heat 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, some foods
cook slightly faster than in regular oven cooking.
Before you begin, make sure the metal rack is
in place. Both racks may be used for two level
cooking.
CAUTION
Burn Risk
When baking, remember that the oven, door and
dishes will be very hot!
Per USDA Guidelines, cook meat to an
INTERNAL temperature of at least 160°F, and
poultry to an INTERNAL temperature of at least
180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness. For more
information, see www.foodsafety.gov.
Put food directly on the metal tray or in the
appropriate dish and place on wire oven rack
when baking or warming.
