WARNING!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

www.geadvantium.com

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons,

or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

WARNING!

■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.

■Do not store anything directly on top

of the oven surface when the oven is

in operation.

■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).

■The fan will operate automatically under

certain conditions (see the Automatic Fan

section). Take care to prevent the starting

and spreading of accidental cooking fires

while the vent fan is in use.

■Clean the underside of the oven often.

Do not allow grease to build up on the

oven or the fan filters.

■ In the event of a grease fire on the

surface units below the oven, smother

a flaming pan on the surface unit by

covering the pan completely with a lid,

a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

■ Use care when cleaning the vent fan

filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such

as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage

the filters.

■ When preparing flaming foods under the

oven, turn the vent fan on.

■ Never leave surface units beneath your

oven unattended at high heat settings.

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite and spread if

the oven vent fan is operating. To

minimize automatic fan operation, use

adequate sized cookware and use high

heat on surface units only when

necessary.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

www.geadvantium.com

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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.

ARCING

Arcing can occur during both speedcooking and microwave cooking. If you see arcing, press the

CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.

THE

VENT

FAN

WARNING!

■When microwaving, place all foods

and containers on the glass microwave

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.

■The oven and door will get very hot

when speedcooking or using the

oven/bake feature.

■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.

■Place food or oven-safe cookware

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®and

Anchor Hocking®glass cookware and

Corningware®ceramic casseroles.

Cooktimes and results may vary

when using other types of oven-safe

dishes. Place them directly on the

black metal tray.

■Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.

■Use of the glass microwave tray with

the speedcook or oven/bake features

will result in inferior cooking

performance.

WARNING!

■Place food or microwavable container

directly on the glass microwave tray to

cook your food.

■Use of the 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 inch 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.

Microwave-

safe

cookware

The oven rack (turntable)

must always be in place

when using the oven.

The glass microwave 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.”

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

www.geadvantium.com

WARNING!

■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.

Congratulations! You are now part of the cooking revolution!

As part of the vision to help consumers live better, easier lives, GE Appliances introduces

the revolutionary GE Advantium oven with Speedcook technology. This new oven roasts,

grills, bakes, browns and broils, just like your conventional oven—only faster—and with

delicious results. You also save time because Advantium requires no preheating.

The information on the following pages will help you operate and maintain your new

Advantium oven. We appreciate your purchase, and hope you will continue to rely on us

whenever you need quality appliances for your home. We thank you for buying GE.

Introduction

What is Advantium?

www.geadvantium.com

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 radiant heat

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.

Speedcooking

■A 500 watt halogen bulb and a 600 watt ceramic heater cook

food from above.

■One 375 watt ceramic heater cooks food from below.

■The convection fan ensures even heating.

Oven/Bake and Warming

■One 1100 watt heater cooks food from above.

■One 375 watt ceramic heater cooks food from below.

■The convection fan ensures even heating.

Microwave

■A microwave “boost” is automatically added with certain foods.

■The oven can also be used as a 900 watt microwave oven.

power level

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.

Also, the manual cook 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 button

and turn the dial to select FOOD

MENU or MANUAL COOK. Press

the dial to enter.

2. Follow instructions from To use

a pre-set speedcook menu or Manual

upper power level. Press the dial

to enter.

4. Turn the dial to change the lower

power level. Press the dial to

enter.

preheat

Baking

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. A fan gently

circulates this heated air throughout the

oven, over and around the food, producing

golden brown exteriors and rich, moist

interiors.

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 oven rack

(turntable) is in place. Use the black metal

tray at all times when baking.

Caution: When baking, remember that the oven,

door and dishes will be very hot!

The oven rack (turntable)

must always be in place

when using the oven.

Put food or oven-safe

cookware directly on the

black metal tray to bake.

Defrosting

tips

Use DEFROST-AUTO for meat, poultry

and fish.

Use DEFROST-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-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.

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.

To use all

sensor

programs

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 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 or

baking and the oven is already

hot, it may indicate that it is too

hot for sensor cooking. Of course,

you can always continue with the

non-sensor functions.

■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.

For improved reheating quality

on crisper foods, use the TIMED

REHEAT feature found by pressing

WARM/REHEAT.

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.

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

Some spatters can be removed with

a paper towel, others may require

a damp soapy cloth. Remove greasy

spatters with a damp sudsy cloth,

then rinse with a damp cloth.

Do not spray or splash liquids

directly into the heater areas.

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.

Some food or liquids may fall into

the heater areas. The heaters will

cook most of the food away. Any

remaining residue will not affect

cooking.

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.

Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal

Care and Cleaning

How to clean

the outside

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 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 Control Panel and Door

(on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch

the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface,

use a hot, damp cloth with a mild

detergent suitable for stainless steel

surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth

to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean

cloth.

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®

Apply cleaner with a damp sponge.

Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to

remove cleaner. Dry with a dry, clean

cloth. 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.

Bottom

Clean off the grease and dust on the

bottom often. Use a solution of warm

water and detergent.

Vent Grill

Use warm soapy water and a dishcloth

to wipe off the grill. If desired, use

cotton swabs to get in between the

grill louvers.

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.

The vent fan has 2 metal reusable

vent filters.

Ovens configured to recirculate air

back into the room should also use

a charcoal filter.

Cooktop light/

night light

The metal filters trap grease released

by foods on the cooktop. They also

prevent flames from foods on the

cooktop from damaging the inside

of the oven.

For this reason, the filters must

always be in place when the hood

is used. The vent filters should be

cleaned once a month, or as needed.

To remove, slide them to the rear

using the tabs. Pull down and out.

To clean the vent filters, soak them

and then swish around in hot water

and detergent. Don’t use ammonia

or ammonia products because

they will darken the metal. Light

brushing can be used to remove

embedded dirt.

Rinse, shake and let dry before

replacing.

To replace, slide the filters into the

frame slots on the back of each

opening. Press up and to the front

to lock into place.
