Introduction
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.
Features and Benefits
Speedcook Oven - Delivers oven quality food up to four times faster than a conventional oven. No
preheating required.
True European Convection Oven - 1500 watt convection oven mode bakes and roasts at temperatures
ranging from 80 to 450°F.
Sensor Microwave Oven - 975 watt sensor microwave oven mode automatically delivers perfect cooking
results.
Warming Oven - Keeps prepared foods warm and fresh, and retains perfect moistness and crispness.
Proof Feature - Specialized mode allows dough to rise quickly.
16-in. Turntable - Removable metal and glass trays easily handle large casserole dishes.
Rounded Rear Wall - Allows complete turntable rotation of 9-in. x 13-in. casserole dish for even cooking.
Installation Flexibility - Fits either a 27-in. x 30-in. wall oven cabinet (installation kit included).

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.
Fan/Vent
■The fan will be on during cooking. At
the end of cooking, the automatic fan
may continue to run for a short time, and
the display will read Oven is Cooling. The
fan 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.
To remind you that you have food in the oven, the
oven will display COOK TIME COMPLETED and beep
once a minute until you either open the oven door
or press the CLEAR/OFF pad.
