WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons,
or exposure to excessive microwave energy:
Advantium Oven
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

6
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 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.
■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.
■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
The turntable must

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.”

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
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.
You see timesaving because there is
no preheat and because speedcook
cooks faster.

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 CUSTOM SPEEDCOOK.
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.
C–06 Convection element heats
oven to 350ºF.
M–05 Microwave on 50% of the
time.
NOTE: Be careful when adjusting
power levels so that you do not
over- or undercook food.
1. Press the SPEEDCOOK pad and
select your food (follow instructions
from Using the pre-set speedcook
menu).
2. When display shows ADJUST TIME
or START, press the POWER LEVEL
pad.
If you do not want to change one of
the settings, just press the dial to
move to the next selection.
3. Turn the dial clockwise to increase
or counterclockwise to decrease

dial to enter.
4. Turn the dial to change the lower
power level. Press the dial to enter.
5. Turn the dial to change the
microwave power level. Press the
dial to enter.
6. Turn the dial to change the
convection power level. Press the
dial to enter.
7.
Press the START/PAUSE pad or the
selector dial to start cooking.
U = Select a higher setting for thin
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 (6 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
■ 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.
