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 manual.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Advantium Oven

WARNING!

FOODS

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.

■ 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.

The oven and door will get very hot when speedcooking.

Cookware will become hot. 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.

■ Use the black grill tray for cooking steaks, fish and poultry.

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.

■ 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

Microwavesafe cookware

The oven rack

(turntable) must always be in place when using the oven.

WARNING!

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

How to test for a microwave-safe dish.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

8

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.

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 microwavesafe 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.

25

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 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.

MICROWAVE SENSOR PROGRAMS:

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

Care and Cleaning

Advantium Oven

How to clean the inside

Removable oven rack

(turntable)

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.

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.

Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal and

Plastic Parts on the Door

Oven Rack (Turntable)

Do not use the oven without the oven rack (turntable) in place.

32

Baking sheets

(cooking trays)

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.

Halogen lamp covers

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.

Replace the oven rack (turntable).

For heavy burned on soil, a cleaning scraper may be used to clean the halogen lamp covers. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the cleaning scraper at a 30° angle. Scrape the glass clean and wipe up excess soil.

Care and Cleaning

Advantium Oven

How to clean the outside

We recommend against using cleaners with ammonia or alcohol, as they can damage the appeareance 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.

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.

To inquire about purchasing stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the location of a dealer nearest you, please call our toll-free number, 800.626.2002 or visit ge.com.

Grill

Use warm soapy water and a dishcloth to wipe off the grill.

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.
