SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

▲ WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

■ 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.
- 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.
■ Potentially hot surfaces include the oven door, floor, walls, oven rack and turntable.

ARCING

Arcing can occur during both speedcooking 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).
■ Use foil only as recommended in this manual.

■ 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.

FOODS

■ 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 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

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!

Speedcook oven-safe cookware

The turntable must always be in place when using the oven.

Put food directly on the non-stick metal tray to speedcook.

Oven-safe cookware for Baking, Broiling, Warming, Proofing & Toasting

■ The oven and door will get very hot when speedcooking.
■ Cookware will become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Oven mitts will be needed to handle the cookware.
■ Do not use coverings, containers or cooking/roasting bags made of foil, plastic, wax or paper when speedcooking.
■ Do not cover the turntable, wire oven rack, trays or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause arcing in the oven.
■ Use the non-stick metal tray in the same way you would use a shallow baking pan or baking tray.

▲ WARNING!

Microwave-safe cookware

The turntable must always be in place when using the oven.

The clear glass tray should always be in place when microwaving.

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."

■ Place food or microwavable container directly on the clear glass tray to cook your food.

■ Use of the non-stick 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 in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass

How to test for a microwave-safe dish.

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 may contain metal flecks which could 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 manual. When using foil in the oven, keep the foil at least 1"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 microwave ovens.

■ Some styrofoam 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.

■ 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 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 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 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 complete supervision.

▲ WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• 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.

NOTICE-PACEMAKERS

Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. However, patients with pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.

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 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.

Speedcook power level

Diagram of a device control panel with labeled buttons and directional arrows indicating input/output ports

Advantium uses power from a high intensity halogen light, ceramic heaters, and microwaves to cook food from the top, bottom, and interior simultaneously to seal in moisture and flavor.

When using the pre-set speedcook recipes on the food menu, the power levels are already selected for you. However, these power levels can be adjusted before or during cooking. See POWER/TEMP in the Cooking Controls section. The custom speedcook feature allows you to speedcook items not on the pre-set food menu by selecting your own cook time and power level settings.

Each power level gives you heater power and microwave energy for a certain percentage of the time.

UPPER POWER (U) controls both the upper heater and microwave power. A higher UPPER POWER setting will utilize more upper heater power, browning food faster on top. A lower UPPER POWER setting utilizes more microwave power, causing food to cook more evenly throughout.

Select a higher setting for foods such as pizza and baked goods. Select a lower setting for foods such as casseroles, meat and fish.

LOWER POWER (L) controls the lower heater.

Select a higher setting to brown foods more on the bottom. Select a lower setting for less browning on the bottom.

1. Press the SPEEDCOOK pad and turn the dial to select FOOD MENU or FAVORITE RECIPES, or press CUSTOM SPEEDCOOK to manually set power level and timer. Press the dial to enter.
2. Turn the dial to select a food, time or power level as prompted. Press the dial to enter.
3. To change the power level when prompted by the display, turn the dial clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the upper power level. Press the dial to enter.
4. Microwave levels are set automatically based on the upper and lower lamp settings.
5. Press the START/PAUSEpad or the selector dial to start cooking.

If you do not want to change one of the settings, just press the dial to move to the next selection.

NOTE: Be careful when adjusting power levels so that you do not over- or undercook food.

Things that are normal

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.

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.
■ Do not use cookware or coverings made of paper, plastic, or foil when cooking during a speedcook cycle.
■ When cooking for an extended period of time, the oven may automatically reduce the power levels to maintain the appropriate level of oven heat.

Sounds

- Clicks and a fan blowing are normal sounds during cooking. The relay board is turning components on and off.

Advantium Oven

Baking, Broiling and Toasting

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.

Broiling allows you to broil foods in the same way as a conventional oven.

Toasting allows you to toast foods the same way as a conventional oven.

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.

The turntable must always be in place when using the oven.

Put food or oven-safe cookware directly on the non-stick metal tray to bake.

Before you begin, make sure the turntable is in place. Use the non-stick metal tray at all times when baking.

CAUTION! When baking, remember that the oven, door and dishes will be very hot!

You can defrost small items quickly by raising the power level after entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to about 1/3. When defrosting at high power levels, food will need more frequent attention than usual.

Defrosting tips

Use DEFROST BY FOOD TYPE for meat, poultry and fish. Use DEFROST BY TIME for most other frozen foods.

■ Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be time defrosted in the package, but foods should be taken out of the package when using DEFROST BY FOOD TYPE. Closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented after food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be partially uncovered.
■ Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
■ Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

■ For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as roasts, use DEFROST BY TIME. Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking.
■ When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.

Microwave sensor cooking

The sensor feature detects the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession on the same food portion—it may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked after the first countdown, use COOK BY TIME for additional cooking time.

The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.

■ Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.
■ Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
■ Beverages are best heated uncovered.

■ Foods that need to be stirred or turned.
■ Foods calling for a dry look or crisp surface after reheating.

Things that are normal

Interference

■ TV/radio interference might be noticed while using the microwave. Similar to the interference caused by other small appliances, it does not indicate a problem with the microwave. Move the radio or TV as far away from the microwave as possible, or check the position of the TV/radio antenna.

Lights

■ The oven cavity light will come on during a microwave cooking cycle.

Oven Heat

■ Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Oven mitts may be needed to handle the cookware.

Wipe with a clean damp sponge. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can damage it.

Door Seal

It's important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the oven. Use only mild, non-abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

Stainless steel (on some models)

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
