tamper with the safety interlocks.

It is particularly important that the oven

door close properly and that there is no

damage to the:

(1) door (bent),

(b) Do Not Place any object between the oven

front face and the door or allow soil or

cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing

could result in injury.

— Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles

from paper or plastic containers before

placing them in the oven.

■ Do not mount this appliance over

a sink.

— Do not use the oven for storage purposes. Do

not leave paper products, cooking utensils or

food in the oven when not in use.

must be unrestricted so it can turn.

■ 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.

■ 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.

Arcing can occur during both speedcooking and microwave cooking. If you see arcing,

press the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.

ARCING

FOODS

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks

in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

■ Metal cookware or the wire oven rack

used during either speedcook or

microwave cooking (except for the pans

provided with the oven).

■ Metal or foil touching the side of

the oven.

■ Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins,

■ Foil not molded to food (upturned edges

or gold-rimmed dishes, in the oven.

■ Recycled paper towels containing small

metal pieces being used in the oven.

■ When microwaving, place all foods and

■ SUPERHEATED WATER

containers on the clear glass tray.

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.

■ 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.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

— Do not overheat the liquid.

— Stir the liquid both before and halfway

through heating it.

■ 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.

— 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.

Getting to Know the Advantium

Advantium Oven

The Advantium oven uses

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

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.

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.

Convection baking

Advantium Oven

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.

Convection

Baking

The turntable must always be

in place when using the oven.

Put food or oven-safe cookware

directly on the metal tray.

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.

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.

CAUTION!

When baking, remember that the

oven, door and dishes will be very hot!

open the door within 1 hour, the

oven will turn off automatically.

Open the oven door and, using

caution, place the food in the oven.

3. Turn the dial to set the oven

temperature and press to enter.

To bypass preheating:

1. When the prompt shows PREHEAT

THE OVEN? turn the dial to NO. Press

the dial to enter.

3. Close the oven door. Turn the dial to

set the cook time and press to enter.

4. Press the dial or press START/PAUSE

to start cooking. When cooking is

complete, the oven will signal and

turn off.

You may change the oven temperature

during preheating by pressing the

POWER/TEMP pad and turning the dial to

select the new temperature. Press the dial

to enter.

2. Place food in oven, turn the dial to

set the cook time and press to enter.

3. Press the dial or press START/PAUSE

to start cooking. When cooking is

complete, the oven will signal and

turn off.

To preheat:

1. When the prompt shows PREHEAT

THE OVEN? turn the dial to YES. Press

the dial or press START/PAUSE to

begin preheating.

If the oven door is opened during cooking,

PAUSE will appear in the display. Close

the door and press START/PAUSE.

Cook times are shown in minutes and

can be set to a maximum of 179 minutes.

Time can be changed during cooking by

turning the dial.

The oven starts preheating

immediately. Do not place food in

oven. (You will be prompted to enter

a cook time, after oven is preheated.)

Cooking Tips

for Convection

Baking

■ 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.

twice in succession on the same food

portion—it may result in severely

overcooked or burnt food. If the food

is not done enough at the end of the

sensor cook time, use COOK BY TIME in

the microwave selector to cook for

more time.

■ Food that must be reheated

uncovered

■ Foods that need to be stirred

or turned

■ Foods calling for a dry look or crisp

surface after reheating.

■ If you have been cooking and the

oven is hot, it may indicate that it is

too hot for sensor cooking. In that

case, the oven will automatically

change to time cooking and may

prompt for weights or amounts of

food.

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
