IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Advar_ti_m Over_
AWARNING!
SAFE TY PRE CA UTIONS
Do not operate the oven without the oven
rack (turntable) in place. The oven rack
(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.
Cook meat and poult Uthoroughly-
meat to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 160°F, and poulu T to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of
180 °F. Cooking to these temperatures
usually protects against foodborne illness.
Keep the oven Dee from grease buildup.
Potentially hot surfaces include the
oven door, floor, walls and oven rack
(turntable).
ARCING Arcing can occur during both speedeooking and microwave cooking. If you see arcing, press the
CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.
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).
•Metal cookware 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.
•Use foil only as recommended in
this guide.
THE
VENT
FAN
The fan will operate automatically under
certain conditions (see the AutomatieFan
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 oven often. Do
not allow grease to build up on the oven
or the fan filters.
In the event of a grease fire on the surface
units below the oven, 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
oven, turn the vent fan on.
Never leave surface units beneath your
oven unattended at high heat settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite and spread if the
oven vent fan is operating. To minimize
automatic fan operation, use adequate
sized cookware and use high heat on
surface units only when necessary.

AWARNING!
FOODS When microwaving, place all foods
and containers on the white ceramic
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 the 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
Microwaved water and other liquids do not
always bubble when the), reach the boiling
point. Th,ey can actually get supe_t_eated
and not bubble at all.
Superheated liquid will bubble up out of the
cup when it is moved or when something
like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.
To prevent this from happening and
causing inju U, do not heat any liquid for
more than 2 minutes per cup. After heating,
let the cup stand in the mi(rowave for 30
seconds before moving it or putting
anything into it.

Do not use coverings, containers
or cooking/roasting bags made
of foil, plastic, wax or paper when
speedcooking.
Do not cover the oven rack
(turntable), trays or any part
of the oven with metal foil.
This will cause arcing in the oven.
Use the black metal flat tray in the

baking pan or baking tray.
Use the black grill tray fi)r cooking
steaks, fish and poulu y.
Place food directly on the trays

WARNING!
Microwave-
¢OOkZOglYe
The oven ra&
(_)urntable ) must always
e in place when using
the oven.
The white ceramic tray
should alwa)'s be in -
place when
mlerowavlng.
Make sure to use suitable co&ware during microwave cooking. Most glass casseroles,
cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, potte U or china dinnerware which does
not have metallic trim or glaze with ametallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labe#d
"suitab# fiw microwaving. "
Place food or microwavable container
directly on the white ceramic tray to
cook your food.
Use of either black metal tray during
microwave cooking will result in
inferior cooking performance.
If you are not sure ifa dish is
microwave-safe, use this test: Place in
the oven both the dish you are testing
and a glass measuring cup filled with
1 cup of water-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.
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.
Use foil only as directed in this guide.
TV dinners may be microwaved in foil
trays less than 3/4" high; remove the
top foil cover and return the tray to
the box. When using foil in the oven,
keep the foil at least 1 inch away from
the sides of the oven.
Do not use the oven to dry
newspapers.
If you use a meat thermometer while
cooking, make sure it is safe for use in 2.
microwave ovens. 3.
When microwaved, the metal can
burn the floor of the oven or ignite a
paper towel.
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. If they are not, plastic could
burst during or immediately after
cooking, possibly resulting in inju U.
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.
Some styrofoam trays (like those that
meat is packaged on) have a thin strip
of metal embedded in the bottom.
Plastic cookware-Plastic cookware
designed for microwave cooking is
veUuseful, but should be used
carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic
may not be as tolerant of overcooking
conditions as are glass or ceramic
materials and may soften or char if
subjected to short periods of
overcooking. In longer exposures
to overcooking, the food and
cookware could ignite.
Follow these guidefines:
1. Use microwave-safe plastics only
and use them in strict compliance
with the cookware manufacturer's
recommendations.
Do not microwave empty containers.
Do not permit children to use
plastic cookware without complete
supei_vision.

AWARNING!
SAFE TY PRE CA UTIONS
Don't defrost Dozen 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.
Spontaneous boiling-Under certain
special circumstances, liquids may
start to boil during or shortly after
removal from the oven. To prevent
burns from splashing liquid, we
recommend the fl)llowing: before
removing the container from the oven,
allow the container to stand in the
oven fk)r 30 to 40 seconds after the
oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids
in narrow-necked containers such as
soft drink bottles, wine flasks and
especially narrow-necked coffee cups.
Even if the container is opened,
excessive steam can build up and
cause it to burst or overflow.
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
a'nd Clea'ning of the ove'n section fi)r
instructions on how to clean the inside
of the oven.
Hot fl)ods and steam can cause
burns. Be careful when opening any
containers of hot food, including
popcorn bags, cooking pouches
and boxes. To prevent possible injm T,
direct steam away Dom 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 fiT in the oven.

What is Advantium?
kdvar_tium Over_
Getting to know
Advantium
The new Advantium oven uses
breakthrough Speedcook technology
to harness the power of light. The
Advantium oven cooks the outside
of fi)ods much like conventional
radiant heat, while also penetrating
the surface so the inside cooks
simultaneously. While halogen light
is the prima Usource of power, a
"microwave boost" is added with
certain foods. Foods cook evenly and
fast, retaining their natural moisture.
