nWhen microwaving, place all foods and
containers on the clear glass tray.
nDo not pop popcorn in your oven unless in
a special microwave popcorn accessory or
unless you use popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
n Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure will
build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to
burst, possibly resulting in injury.
n Do not operate 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.
n 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.
n 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.
n 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.
n 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.
n Do not overcook potatoes. They could
dehydrate and catch fire, causing
damage to your oven.
n 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.
n Do not attempt to deep fry in the oven.
n 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.

WARNING!
n Do not use the wire oven rack for
microwave.
n Place food or microwavable container
directly on the clear glass tray to cook
your food.
n Use of a metal tray during microwave
cooking will result in inferior cooking
performance.
n If you are not
sure if a dish
is microwave-
safe, use this
test: Place both
the dish you are
testing and a
glass measuring
cup filled with 1
cup of water in
the oven. 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.
CAUTION: Burn Risk
n Cookware may become hot because
of heat transferred from the heated food.
Oven mitts may be needed to handle the
cookware.
n 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.
n If you use a meat thermometer while
cooking, make sure it is safe for use
in microwave ovens.
n Some foam 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.
n 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.
n 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.
n Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use
in microwave ovens. Check the package
for proper use.
n “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly
closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced
or vented as directed by package
instructions. 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.
n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 glass or ceramic materials. Plastic
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 adult supervision.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance
must be grounded.
In the event of an
electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces
the risk of electric
shock by providing
an escape wire for
the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service
technician if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 3-prong wall outlet,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded
30 ampere, 4-prong wall outlet.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove
the ground prong from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.
Do not use an extension cord with this
appliance. If the power cord is too short, have
a qualified electrician or service technician
install an outlet near the appliance.
For best operation, plug this appliance into its
own electrical circuit to prevent flickering of
lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit
breaker.
The fan will operate automatically under
certain conditions (see Vent Fan section). Take
care to prevent the starting and spreading of
accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in
use.
n Clean the underside of the Advantium often.
Do not allow grease to build up on the
Advantium or the fan filters.
n In the event of a grease fire on the surface
units below the Advantium, smother a
flaming pan on the surface unit by covering
the pan completely with a lid, a cookie sheet
or a flat tray.
n Use care when cleaning the vent fan filters.
Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-
based oven cleaners, may damage the
filters.
n When preparing flaming foods under the
Advantium, turn the fan on.
n Never leave surface units beneath your
Advantium unattended at high heat
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread
if the Advantium vent fan is operating. To
minimize automatic fan operation, use
adequate sized cookware and use high heat
on surface units only when necessary.
Ensure proper ground exists
before use.
WARNING!
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Getting to Know the Advantium
Advantium Oven
The 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 convection system
and ceramic heater assist in the
cooking, with a “microwave boost”
added in some cooking algorithms.
Food cooks evenly and fast, retaining
its natural moisture.
Getting to know
the Advantium
10
The Advantium oven is capable of
speedcooking, convection baking,
broiling, toasting, warming, proofing
and microwaving. The Speedcook
feature is the biggest benefit of the
Advantium oven.
No preheating is required to
speedcook. Place the food in the
oven and start cooking immediately.
Time is saved because there is no
preheat and because speedcook
cooks faster.

power level
The Advantium uses power from high
intensity halogen lamps, a ceramic
heater, a convection system 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 using pre-set menu
foods and MY RECIPE.
Each power level gives you halogen
lamp or ceramic heater power and
microwave energy for a certain
percentage of the time or provides
heating from the convection system.
For example:
U–07 Upper halogen lamp on
70% of the time.
L–07 Lower ceramic heater on
70% of the time.
M–05 Microwave on 50% of the
time.
C–06 Convection element heats
oven to 350ºF.
NOTE: Be careful when adjusting

How to
Convection
Bake
nMetal pans are recommended
for all types of baked products,
but especially where browning is
important.
nDark or dull finish metal pans are
best for breads and pies because
they absorb heat and produce
crisper crust.
n Shiny aluminum pans are better
for cakes, cookies or muffins
because they reflect heat and help
produce a light tender crust.
n Glass or glass-ceramic casserole
or baking dishes are best suited
for egg and cheese recipes due to
the cleanability of glass.
n When baking on one level, use the
lower level. The top clips are to
only be used in two level baking.
Cooking Tips
for Convection
Baking
Convection
Baking
Convection baking allows you to cook foods
the same way as a conventional oven, using an
element to heat the air inside the oven. Any oven
temperature from 250°F to 450°F may be set.
A fan gently circulates heated air throughout the
oven, over and around the food. Because the
heated air is kept constantly moving, some foods
cook slightly faster than in regular oven cooking.
Before you begin, make sure the metal rack is
in place. Both racks may be used for two level
cooking.
CAUTION: Burn Risk
When baking, remember that the oven, door and
dishes will be very hot!
Per USDA Guidelines, cook meat to an INTERNAL
temperature of at least 160°F, and poultry to an
INTERNAL temperature of at least 180°F. Cooking to
these temperatures usually protects against foodborne
illness. For more information, see www.foodsafety.gov.
Put food directly on the metal tray or in the
appropriate dish and place on wire oven rack
when baking or warming.
Broil and toast use the upper lamps, lower heater and
convection system to broil or toast food similar to a
conventional oven.
Before you begin, make sure the turntable is in place.
Use the metal tray when toasting and the metal tray
or metal grill tray when broiling.
CAUTION: Burn Risk
When broiling or toasting, remember that the oven
cavity, the oven door and dishes will be very hot!

nBroiling meats in the oven may
produce smoke.
nIf preheating the oven to broil
meat, preheat with the metal grill

Defrosting
tips
Use DEFROST BY FOOD TYPE for meat,
poultry, fish, and bread.
Use DEFROST
BY TIME for most other frozen foods.
n Foods frozen in paper or plastic
can be defrosted in the
package
when using DEFROST BY TIME. Meats
should be taken out of the package
when using
DEFROST BY FOOD
TYPE
. Closed packages should be
slit, pierced or vented after food has
partially defrosted. Plastic storage
containers should be partially
uncovered.
n 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.
n 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.
n 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.
n When defrosting 3 or more pounds
of ground or cubed meat, remove
defrosted portions at the turn
signals.
Use DEFROST BY TIME to defrost for a
selected length of time.
1. Press the MICROWAVE pad.
2. Turn the selector dial to DEFROST.
Press the dial to enter.
3. Turn the dial to DEFROST BY TIME.

6. Turn the food over when the oven
signals TURN FOOD OVER.
Power level is automatically set
at 3, but can be changed. To change
the power levels, see Microwave
power levels for instructions.
You can defrost small items quickly by
raising the power level after entering
the time. Power level 7 cuts the total
defrosting time in about half; power
level 10 cuts the total time to about
1/3. When defrosting at high power
levels, food will need more frequent
attention than usual and may have
some cooking.

The Advantium’s microwave mode
features sensor cooking and
reheating. The oven automatically
senses when food is done and shuts
itselfoff—eliminatingtheneedto
program cook times and power levels.
The sensor feature detects the
increasing humidity released during
cooking. The oven automatically
adjusts the cooking time to various
types and amounts of food.
WARNING:
Fire Risk
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.
The proper containers and covers are
essential for best sensor cooking.
n 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.
n 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.
n Popcorn and Potatoes are best
heated uncovered.

MICROWAVE SENSOR PROGRAMS
To use all
sensor
programs
To use the sensor features:
1. Press the MICROWAVE pad.
2. Turn the dial to select COOK BY FOOD
(located under COOK), REHEAT, or SIMMER.
3. For COOK BY FOOD and REHEAT, select
a food and press the dial to enter. For
SIMMER, set the time to simmer after the
soup, sauce or stew has come to a boil.
4. Press the dial or press the START/ PAUSE
pad to start cooking.
Do not open the oven door until time is
counting down on the display. If you open
the door while sensor cooking, “Sensor Error
- Close door and press START” will appear.
Close the door immediately and press the
START/PAUSE pad to begin again.
WARNING:
Fire Risk
Do not use a sensor feature twice in
successiononthesamefoodportion—itmay
result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If
the food is not done enough at the end of the
sensor cook time, use COOK BY TIME in the
microwave selector to cook for more time.
nIf you have been cooking and the oven is
hot, it may indicate that it is too hot for
sensor cooking. In that case, the oven will
automatically change to time cooking and
may prompt for weights or amounts of
food.
n 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.
Notes about the Reheat program:
Reheated foods may have wide variations in
temperature. Some areas may be extremely
hot.
It is best to use COOK BY TIME and
not REHEAT for these foods:
n Bread products
n Food that must be reheated uncovered
n Foods that need to be stirred
or turned
n Foods calling for a dry look or crisp
surface after reheating
How to adjust the oven’s automatic COOK
BY FOOD and REHEAT settings for a shorter
or longer cook time (not available for all food
types):
To reduce the automatic cooking times:
Right after the oven starts, turn the dial
counterclockwise until a minus (“-“) sign
or a double minus (“--“) sign appears and
press the dial to enter. A minus (“-“) sign
is a 10% reduction of cooking time and a
double minus (“--“) sign is a 20% reduction of
cooking time.
To increase the automatic cooking times:
Right after the oven starts, turn the dial
clockwise until a plus (“+“) sign or a double
plus (“++“) sign appears and press the dial to
enter. A plus (“+“) sign is a 10% increase of
cooking time and a double plus (“++“) sign is
a 20% increase of cooking time.

Care and Cleaning
Advantium Oven
32
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.
If the dirt and spatter do not come off
easily with a warm sudsy cloth, place
a medium sized bowl full of water in
the unit on the metal tray and press the
SPEEDCOOK pad. Select MY RECIPE and
set for 10 minutes at U=10, L=10, M=7,
C=10. This should loosen the dirt in the
oven so that it can be removed with a
warm sudsy cloth.
If you notice yellowing on the metal
inside the oven that cannot be
removed with a warm sudsy cloth, use
a stainless steel cleaner that removes
heat discoloration and/or tarnishing.
You can then clean the inside of the
oven as you normally do.
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 inside the oven,
causing electrical shock as well as
damaging the inside surface finish of
the oven.
Be certain the oven control is turned
off and the oven is warm or cool to
the touch before cleaning any part of
this oven.

We recommend against using
cleaners with ammonia or alcohol,
as they can damage the appearance
of the 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 of the microwave
with a sudsy cloth. Rinse and then dry.
Wipe the window clean with a damp
cloth.
Control Panel
Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry
thoroughly. Do not use cleaning
sprays, large amounts of soap and
water, abrasives or sharp objects on
the panel - they can damage it. Some
paper towels can also scratch the
control panel.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
(on some models)
The stainless steel panel can be
cleaned with Stainless Steel Magic or
a similar product using a clean, soft
cloth. Apply stainless cleaner carefully,
avoiding the surrounding plastic or
glass parts. Do not use appliance wax,
polish, bleach or products containing
chlorine on stainless steel.
Plastic Color Panels
(on some models)
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened
cloth, then dry thoroughly.
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.
Bottom
Clean off the grease and dust on the
bottom often. Use a solution of warm
water and detergent.
