(b) Do Not Place any object between the
oven front face and the door or allow soil
or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing
surfaces.
(c) Do Not Operate the oven if it is damaged.
It is particularly important that the oven
door close properly and that there is no
damage to the (1) door (bent), (2) hinges
and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door
seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The Oven Should Not be adjusted
or repaired by anyone except properly

Introduction
The new Advantium™ 240 oven uses breakthrough Speedcook technology to cook food with
light, microwave and convection. Foods cook in a fraction of the time needed in conventional
ovens with delicious results. Halogen lamps, a ceramic heater, and a convection system work
with microwave energy to cook the surface and interior simultaneously to seal in moisture and
flavor. For added versatility, the Advantium™ 240 oven can be converted to a traditional oven
or a fully functional microwave, by simply pressing a button. And, the oven’s Warm feature can
be used to keep foods warm.
Using the
Advantium™ 240 Oven
The Advantium™ 240 oven comes with
a turntable and three types of removable
trays, each designed for a specific type
of cooking.
Metal Tray
The metal tray is used for all speedcook
functions. Foods such as cookies, biscuits
and rolls, pizza, fish fillets, and steaks
can be placed directly on the metal tray.
Casserole and baking dishes should also
be placed on the metal tray when speed
cooking.
Turntable
The turntable ring must be placed on the
floor of the oven for all cooking procedures.
The turntable rotates the trays for even
cooking.
Glass Tray
Metal Grill Tray
The metal grill tray is used in speed cook
when a grilled appearance is desired on
steaks.
Introduction
The glass tray should be used when cooking
with microwaves only. Place the cooking
utensil on the glass tray.
S p e e d c oo k T e c h n i q u e s
Your favorite recipes cook with exceptional
quality and speed in the Advantium™ 240
oven.
Follow these simple guidelines for great
results every time you use your oven.
Cook Setting
Each recipe in the cookbook has the
recommended cook setting shown in red
in the preparation instructions, (example:
U=8, L=7, M=2, C=10).
No metal utensils should be used with the
speedcook feature except for the 6-cup or
12-cup muffin pans recommended in muffin
recipes on pages 87 through 89. (Follow
recipe directions exactly).
Using this setting for upper lamps (U), lower
heater (L), microwave (M), and convection
system (C) will ensure the best cooking
results for each dish.
When using the speedcook feature or oven
features, the utensils and the oven itself
will be hot. Always use hot pads or oven
mitts when removing utensils from the
oven.
Any oven-safe dish can be used in your
oven. Recipes in this cookbook were tested
in Pyrex® and Anchor Hocking® glass
cookware and Corningware® ceramic
casseroles. Cook times and results may
vary when using other types of oven-safe
utensils.
Paper products and wraps should not
be used in the Advantium™ 240 oven
when cooking with the speedcook or oven
features.
Introduction
C oo k i n g T i p s
Cooking in the Advantium™ 240 oven is
so easy that both novice and experienced
cooks can achieve outstanding results.
Other Helpful Cooking Tips
Always check foods for doneness
at minimum time.
Biscuits and cookies should be placed
on the metal tray as shown to ensure
consistent texture and even browning.
When baking multiple runs of foods,
such as cookies, let the metal tray cool to
room temperature between runs.
To determine the cooking time and setting
for your own favorite recipes, refer to a
similar recipe in this cookbook.
Clean the oven interior frequently
to prevent build-up of grease or food
particles.
For additional information, refer to your
Advantium Cooking Guide or Owner’s
Manual.
Some foods may tend to stick when cooked
on the black metal tray (example: boneless,
skinless chicken breasts containing little
fat). To prevent sticking, brush the tray
lightly with olive oil or vegetable oil.
Introduction
Oval shapes, such as crescent rolls and
bread sticks, bake best when placed on the
metal tray in spoke fashion.
When basting meats or chicken with sauce
or adding toppings, such as crumbs or
cheese to a casserole, add them during
the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking time to
prevent overbrowning.

1 (6-oz.) pkg. milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1⁄ 2 cup butter
2 tablespoons vanilla
Preparation
In a 3-quart ceramic casserole or large
microwave-safe bowl, combine sugar and
milk; blend well. Place dish on glass tray.
Microwave at high (10) for 7 to 8 minutes
or until sugar is dissolved, stirring after 2
minutes, then every 30 seconds to avoid
mixture spilling over. Add chocolate chips,
nuts, butter and vanilla; stir until thoroughly
blended. Microwave for 30 seconds more.
Pour mixture into a buttered 7x11-inch glass
dish. Refrigerate until firm. Cut into squares.
Makes about 60 squares.
Preparation
Cut leafy crown off pineapple; reserve for
garnish, if desired. Cut pineapple in half
lengthwise. Scoop out fruit, leaving a
1⁄ 4-inch thick shell. Remove woody core
from fruit and discard. Cut remaining fruit
into chunks.
What’s the secret to selecting a
good pineapple? A ripe pineapple
will be firm and heavy with a
golden color and distinctive
sweet smell. A green pineapple
will ripen on the kitchen counter,
but before buying, check the base.
If the base is green, the pineapple
will not ripen properly.
Combine pineapple chunks, oranges,
coconut, cherries, marmalade, almonds
and rum; toss gently. Divide fruit mixture
between shells; place shells in 9x13inch baking dish. Cover with wax paper.
Microwave at high (10) for 7 to 9 minutes or
until heated through. Makes 6 servings.
