heated in this oven. Such use of the oven

could result in injury.

— Do not use the oven for storage purposes.

Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils

or food in the oven when not in use.

■ Do not mount this appliance over

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

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.

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 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,

or gold-rimmed dishes, in the oven.

■ Foil not molded to food (upturned

edges act like antennas).

■ Recycled paper towels containing small

metal pieces being used in the oven.

■ Use foil only as recommended in

this manual.

■ 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

OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS

■ 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.

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!

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.”

directly on the clear glass tray to cook

your food.

■ Use of the non-stick metal tray during

microwave cooking will result in inferior

■ 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.

Follow these guidelines:

■ 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 manual.

When using foil in the oven, keep the foil

at least 1" away from the sides of the

oven.

1. Use microwave-safe plastics only

and use them in strict compliance

with the cookware manufacturer’s

recommendations.

■ 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.

2. Do not microwave empty containers.

When using the preset 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 preset food menu by

selecting your own cook time and

power level settings.

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

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.

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.

4. Microwave levels are set

automatically based on the upper

and lower lamp settings.

5. Press the START/PAUSE pad 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.

Select a higher setting for foods such

as pizza and baked goods. Select a

lower setting for foods such as

casseroles, meat and fish.

NOTE: Be careful when adjusting

power levels so that you do not over-

or undercook food.

Follow these general guidelines when selecting the best U and L settings for your

favorite recipes:

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: cakes,

roasts).

L = Select a higher setting for thick

or dense foods that may not

Baking, Broiling and Toasting

Advantium Oven

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.

The turntable must

always be in place when

using the oven.

Toasting

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.

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!

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.

Covered

The proper containers and covers are

essential for best sensor cooking.

Vented

■ 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

turning into steam can mislead

the sensor.

Dry off dishes so they don’t

utensils on oven walls.

Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and

Plastic Parts on the Door

Never use a commercial oven

cleaner on any part of your oven.

Do not clean the inside of the oven

with metal scouring pads. Pieces can

break off the pad, causing electrical
