IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Advantium Oven
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■ Read all instructions before using this appliance. When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
■ Read and follow the specific precautions in the PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY section on page 2.
■ Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
■ Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
■ Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed jars—are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven. Such use of the oven could result in injury.
■ Do not mount this appliance over a sink.
■ This oven is not approved or tested for marine use.
■ This oven is UL listed for standard wall installation.
■ Do not operate this appliance if it has been damaged or dropped.
■ As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
■ Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.
■ Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance.
■ This oven is specifically designed to heat, dry or cook food, and is not intended for laboratory or industrial use.
■ This appliance must only be serviced by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
■ Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
■ Do not store this appliance outdoors.
Do not use this product near water— for example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, near a sink or in similar locations.
■ See door surface cleaning instructions in the Care and Cleaning of the Oven section of this manual.
■ To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
—Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven while cooking.
—Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic containers before placing them in the oven.
—Do not use the oven for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
—If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
If the door is opened, the fire may spread.
—Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession on the same food portion.
If food is undercooked after the first countdown, use TIME COOK for additional cooking time.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Advantium Oven
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■ 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 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.
■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■ Potentially hot surfaces include the oven door, floor, walls and oven rack
(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).
■ 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Advantium Oven
WARNING!
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.
Speedcook oven-safe cookware
The oven rack
(turntable) must always be in place when using the oven.
Put food directly on the black metal flat tray to speedcook.
■ 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 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 same way you would use a shallow baking pan or baking tray.
■ 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.
■ Use the black grill tray for cooking steaks, fish and poultry.
■ Place food directly on the trays when cooking.
■ Any oven-safe dish can be used in your oven. Recipes in the Advantium
Cookbook were tested in Pyrex
Anchor Hocking ®
® and glass cookware and
Corningware ® ceramic casseroles.
Cooktimes and results may vary when using other types of oven-safe dishes.
Place them directly on the oven rack
(turntable).
■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
■ Use of the white ceramic tray when speedcooking will result in inferior cooking performance.
Put food directly on the
black grill tray to speedcook foods you would normally cook on the grill.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Advantium Oven

WARNING!
Microwavesafe cookware
The oven rack
(turntable) must always be in place when using the oven.
The white ceramic 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 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 if a 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
″ 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Advantium Oven
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.

Getting to know
Advantium
What is Advantium?
Advantium Oven
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.
Turntable
■ The oven rack (turntable) rotates to ensure even cooking.
Controls
■ The oven control contains preset recipes.
■ Turn and press dial makes menu selection easy.
Halogen Lamps
■ Two 1500 watt halogen bulbs cook food from above.
■ One 1500 watt halogen bulb cooks food from below.
Microwave
■ A microwave “boost” is automatically added with certain foods.
■ The oven can also be used as a 950 watt microwave oven.
Grill
■ The oven emits air from the lower grill area.

Advantium uses power from high intensity halogen lights 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 cooking both preset menu foods and manual cooking.
Each power level gives you halogen lamp power and microwave energy for a certain percentage of the time.
U=07 Upper halogen lamp on
70% of the time.
L=07 Lower halogen lamp on
70% of the time.
M=05 Microwave on 50% of the time.
NOTE: Be careful when adjusting power levels so that you do not over- or undercook your food.
1. Press the SPEEDCOOK button and select your food (follow instructions from To use a pre-set
speedcook menu).
2. When display shows ADJUST
TIME or START, press the
POWER LEVEL button.
3. Turn the dial clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the upper power level. Press the 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. Press the START/PAUSE button 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.
Follow these general guidelines when selecting the best U=, L=, M= 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 cook quickly in the center
(example: casseroles). Select a lower setting for thin foods
(example: cookies) and foods containing high fat or sugar content (example: pastry, cakes).
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: cakes, breads, souffles) or foods requiring longer cook times for tender results (example: stew, pot roast).

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. The oven automatically senses the electrical voltage level in your home and adjusts the cooking time up or down for proper cooking.
Fan/Grill
■ The fan will be on during cooking. At the end of cooking, the automatic fan will 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 grill 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. 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.

When defrosting at high power levels, food will need more frequent attention than usual.
26
Defrosting tips
Microwaving
Advantium Oven
Use AUTO DEFROST for meat, poultry and fish. Use TIME DEFROST 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 (AUTO). 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 (AUTO). 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.
27
Microwave sensor cooking
Microwaving
Advantium Oven
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 TIME COOK 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.
Covered
Dry off dishes so they don’t mislead the sensor.
MICROWAVE SENSOR PROGRAMS:
■ Beverage
■ Popcorn – Prepackaged microwave popcorn, 1.5 oz. to 3.5 oz.
■ Reheat – Single servings (4 to 6 oz.) of leftovers.
■ Soup

Advantium’s microwave mode features sensor cooking. The oven automatically senses when food is done and shuts itself off—eliminating the need to program cooktimes and power levels.
1.
Press the MICROWAVE/OVEN
LIGHT button.
2. Turn the dial to select the food you want. Press the dial to enter.
3. Press the dial or press the START/
PAUSE button to start cooking.
Do not open the oven door until time is counting down in the display.
If the door is opened, close it and press START/PAUSE immediately.
If the food is not done enough, use TIME COOK in the microwave selector to cook for more time.
NOTE: Do not use the Sensor
Features twice in succession on the same food portion—it may result in severely overcooked or burnt food.
■ If you have been speedcooking and the oven is already hot, it may indicate that it is too hot for sensor cooking. Of course, you can always continue with TIME
COOK or SPEEDCOOK.
■ To shorten or lengthen the cook time, wait until the time countdown shows in the display.
Then turn the dial to add or subtract time.
■ Drinks heated with the BEVERAGE feature may be very hot. Remove the container with care.
■ If you open the door while
SENSOR Cooking, SENSOR ERROR will appear. Close the door, press
START to begin again.
Notes about the Reheat program:
Reheated foods may have wide variations in temperature. Some areas may be extremely hot.
It is best to use TIME COOK and not REHEAT for these foods:
■ Bread products
■ 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.

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 light will not come on during a microwave cooking cycle.
To see the food that is cooking, press MICROWAVE/OVEN LIGHT.
The light will come on and stay on for the remainder of the 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.
■ Steam or vapor may escape from around the door.
Sounds
■ You may hear a dull thumping sound while the oven is operating.

Helpful hints
How to clean the inside
Removable oven rack
(turntable)
An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.
Be certain the oven control is turned off before cleaning any part of this oven.
Care and Cleaning
Advantium Oven
Clean the inside of the oven often for proper heating performance.
Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others may require a warm soapy cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls.
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 shock.
Do not remove the halogen lamp glass covers.
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and Plastic Parts on the Door
The area underneath the oven rack
(turntable) should be cleaned frequently to avoid odors and smoking during a cooking cycle.
The oven rack (turntable) can be broken if dropped. Wash carefully in warm, sudsy water.
Dry completely and replace.
To replace the oven rack (turntable), place its center over the square spindle in the center of the oven and turn it until it seats into place.
Oven Rack (Turntable)
Do not use the oven without the oven rack (turntable) in place.
35
Baking sheets
(cooking trays)
Halogen lamp covers
Care and Cleaning
Advantium Oven
To prevent breakage, allow the trays to cool completely before cleaning.
Wash carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasives, as they may damage the finish. A soap-filled scouring pad may be used to clean the trays.
White ceramic tray for microwaving
Black metal tray for speedcooking
Both the upper and lower halogen lamp covers must be kept free of grease and food spatterings in order to operate effectively.
Clean the lamp glass covers often to avoid excess smoking and decreased cooking power.
Do not remove the halogen lamp glass covers.
To clean the upper and lower lamp covers: Allow the oven rack
(turntable) and glass covers to cool completely. Remove the oven rack
(turntable) and wipe clean with a warm soapy cloth or plastic scrubbie.

How to clean the outside
Care and Cleaning
Advantium Oven
We recommend against using cleaners with ammonia or alcohol, as they can damage the appearance of the microwave oven. If you choose to use a common household cleaner, first apply the cleaner directly to a clean cloth, then wipe the soiled area.
Case
Clean the outside with a sudsy cloth.
Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.
Glass Control Panel and Door
( on some models)
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.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
(on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
Clean with hot soapy water.
Rinse and dry.
If food soil remains, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik ® ,
Simple Green ® , or Formula 409 ® .
For hard to clean soil, use a standard stainless steel cleaner, such as Bon-Ami ® or Cameo ® . Soils can be soaked several hours with wet towels.
Apply cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly, and dry. Always scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.
After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish, such as Stainless Steel
Magic ® , Revere Copper and Stainless
Steel Cleaner ® , or Wenol All Purpose
Metal Polish ® . Follow the product instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface
Grill
Use warm soapy water and a dishcloth to wipe off the grill.
Door Frame
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.
