rack (turntable) must be unrestricted so

it can turn.

I 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.

I Keep the oven free from grease

buildup.

I Do not store anything directly on top

of the oven surface when the oven is

in operation.

I Potentially hot surfaces include the

oven door, floor, walls and oven rack

(turntable).

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

CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.

ARCING

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks

in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

or gold-rimmed dishes, in the oven.

I Metal cookware used during either

(except for the pans provided with

the oven).

I 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.

I Use care when cleaning the vent fan

filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such

as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage

the filters.

THE

VENT

FAN

I When preparing flaming foods under

the oven, turn the vent fan on.

I Clean the underside of the oven often.

Do not allow grease to build up on the

oven or the fan filters.

I 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.

I 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Advantium Oven

WARNING!

FOODS

I When microwaving, place all foods and

I SUPERHEATED WATER

containers on the white ceramic tray.

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.

I 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.

I Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure

will build up inside egg yolk and will

cause it to burst, possibly resulting

in injury.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

— Do not overheat the liquid.

I 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.

— Stir the liquid both before and halfway

through heating it.

— Do not use straight-sided containers with

narrow necks.

I 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.

— 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.

I Cookware will become hot because

of heat transferred from the heated

food. Oven mitts will be needed to

handle the cookware.

I 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 oven rack

(turntable).

I Do not use coverings, containers or

cooking/roasting bags made of foil,

plastic, wax or paper when

speedcooking.

The oven rack (turntable)

must always be in place

when using the oven.

I Do not cover the oven rack (turntable),

trays or any part of the oven with metal

foil. This will cause arcing in the oven.

I Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.

I Use of the white ceramic tray when

speedcooking will result in inferior

cooking performance.

I Use the black metal flat tray in the

same way you would use a shallow

baking pan or baking tray.

Put food directly on the

I Use the black grill tray for cooking

steaks, fish and poultry.

to speedcook foods you

would normally cook

on the grill.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Advantium Oven

WARNING!

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.”

30–45 seconds at high. If the dish heats,

it should not be used for microwaving.

I “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

I 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.

I 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.

I 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.

Follow these guidelines:

1. Use microwave-safe plastics only

and use them in strict compliance

with the cookware manufacturer’s

recommendations.

I Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.

2. Do not microwave empty containers.

I If you use a meat thermometer while

cooking, make sure it is safe for use in

microwave ovens.

3. Do not permit children to use plastic

cookware without complete supervision.

I 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.
