SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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

or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

Advantium Oven

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

■ Do not operate the oven without

the turntable in place. The 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.

■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■ 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.

■ Potentially hot surfaces include the

oven door, floor, walls, oven rack and

turntable.

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).

■ Use foil only as recommended in

this manual.

■ 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.

ARCING

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

press the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.

Advantium Oven

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ When microwaving, place all foods and

containers on the clear glass 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.

FOODS

■ Do not cover the turntable, wire oven

rack, trays or any part of the oven with

metal foil. This will cause arcing in the

oven.

■ Use the nonstick metal tray in the same

way you would use a shallow baking pan

or baking tray.

■ Place food directly on the trays when

cooking unless prompted by the oven

to do otherwise.

■ Any oven-safe dish can be used in

your oven. Recipes in the Advantium

Cookbook were tested in Pyrex

glass

cookware and Corningware

ceramic

casseroles. Cook times and results

may vary when using other types of

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

■ Place food or microwavable container

directly on the clear glass tray to cook

your food.

■ Use of the nonstick 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 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.

microwave-safe dish.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Four Advantium

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES

CONSERVEZ CES DIRECTIVES

La formation d’un arc est la façon qu’ont

les micro-ondes de produire des étincelles

dans le four. Ceci est imputable aux causes

suivantes :

■ Un article de métal ou du papier

d’aluminium est en contact avec les

parois du four.

■ Le papier d’aluminium n’épouse pas bien

la forme de l’aliment (les bords relevés

agissent comme des antennes).

■ Utilisez de papier d’aluminium sauf

comme il est décrit dans le présent

manuel.

■ Les ustensiles de cuisson de métal

utilisés durant la cuisson rapide ou la

cuisson à micro-ondes (sauf les

casseroles fournies avec le four).

■ Des articles en métal, comme des

attaches, les broches utilisées pour la

volaille ou les garnitures dorées des

assiettes se trouvent dans le four.

■ Des essuie-tout en papier recyclé

contenant de petites particules de métal

sont employés dans le four.

ARC

D’ÉTINCELLES

Un arc peut apparaître durant la cuisson rapide et la cuisson à micro-ondes. Si vous voyez

un arc, appuyez sur la touche annulation/arrêt (CLEAR/OFF) et corrigez le problème.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES

■ Pour la cuisson à micro-ondes, placez tous

les aliments et contenants sur le plateau de

verre transparent.

■ Ne préparez pas de maïs éclaté dans

votre four à micro-ondes, à moins

d’utiliser un grille-maïs spécialement

conçu à cette fin ou du maïs éclaté pour

la cuisson aux micro-ondes.

■ Il n’est pas recommandé de faire bouillir

des oeufs dans le four. La pression qui se

crée dans le jaune fera éclater l’oeuf et

pourrait causer des blessures.

■ Le fait de laisser fonctionner le four à

micro-ondes sans placer d’aliment à

l’intérieur peut endommager le four. Cela

augmente la températureautour du

magnétron et peut affecter la durée de

vie de votre four.

■ Percez la « peau » qui recouvre certains

aliments, comme les pommes de terre,

les saucisses fumées, les saucissons, les

tomates, les pommes, le foie de poulet et

autres abats, les jaunes d’oeuf, pour

permettre à la vapeur de s’échapper

pendant la cuisson.

■ EAU SURCHAUFFÉE

Les liquides, tels que l'eau, le café ou le thé

peuvent être surchauffés au-delà du point

d'ébullition sans avoir l'air de bouillir. Une

ébullition ou formation de bulles n'est pas

toujours visible lorsque le récipient est sorti

du four à micro-ondes. CECI PEUT

cuisson à micro-ondes.

S’il reste frais et si seulement l’eau se

réchauffe, alors il convient pour le four.

■

Les ustensiles de cuisson deviennent

chauds en raison du transfert de chaleur

des aliments. Il faut porter des gants

thermorésistants pour manipuler les plats.

■ N’utilisez pas de produits de papier

recyclé. Les essuie-tout en papier

recyclé, les serviettes et le papier ciré

peuvent contenir de petites particules de

métal qui pourraient provoquer un arc

ou s’enflammer. Vous devez éviter les

produits de papier contenant du nylon

ou des filaments de nylon car ils peuvent

aussi s’enflammer.

■

Utilisez le papier aluminium seulement

selon les indications de ce guide. Les

plateaux télés peuvent être préparés au

micro-ondes si les plateaux d

’

aluminium

sont de moins de 3/4 po (1,9 cm) de

hauteur et si vous retirez la pellicule

couverture et remettez le plateau dans la

boîte. Lorsque vous utilisez du papier

aluminium dans le four, gardez-le à au

moins 1 po (2,54 cm) des parois du four.

■ N’utilisez pas le four pour faire sécher les

journaux.

■

Si vous utilisez un thermomètre à viande

pour la cuisson, assurez-vous qu

’

convienne aux fours à micro-ondes.

■

Certains plateaux de styromousse (comme

ceux pour l

’

emballage de la viande) ont une

mince bande de métal incorporée dans la

partie inférieure. Au cours de la cuisson au

micro-ondes, le métal peut brûler le bas du

four ou enflammer un essuie-tout.

■

Les essuie-tout, le papier ciré et la pellicule

de plastique peuvent servir à couvrir les

plats pour conserver l

’

humidité et éviter les

éclaboussures. Assurez-vous d

’

avoir des

ouvertures dans la pellicule pour laisser la

vapeur s

’

échapper.

■ Toutes les pellicules de plastique ne

conviennent pas aux fours à micro-

ondes. Vérifiez l’emballage.

■

Les sachets de cuisson et les sacs de

plastique bien fermés doivent être fendus,

percés ou aérés selon les indications sur

’

emballage. Sinon, le plastique pourrait

éclater durant ou immédiatement après

la cuisson pouvant ainsi mener à des

blessures. De même, les contenants de

plastique devraient être partiellement

découverts parce qu

’

ils forment une

fermeture étanche. Lorsque vous cuisinez

avec des contenants bien recouverts d

’

une

pellicule de plastique, retirez avec soin la

pellicule et dirigez la vapeur loin des mains

et du visage.

■

Ustensiles de cuisson de plastique—Les

ustensiles de cuisson de plastique conçus

pour la cuisson à micro-ondes sont très

utiles, mais doivent être utilisés avec soin.

Même le plastique convenant pour ce type

de cuisson pourrait ne pas supporter la

« sur cuisson » comme les matériaux de

verre et de céramique et alors le plastique

pourrait amollir ou se carboniser s

’

il est

soumis à de courtes périodes de sur

cuisson. Pour les expositions plus longues,

les aliments et les ustensiles de cuisson

pourraient s

’

enflammer.

Suivez ces directives :

1. Utilisez seulement des plastiques pour

les fours à micro-ondes et utilisez-les

en vous conformant aux directives du

fabricant.

2. Ne mettez pas de contenants vides dans

le four à micro-ondes.

3. Ne laissez pas les enfants utiliser des

ustensiles de cuisson de plastique sans

une étroite surveillance.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES

Assurez-vous d'utiliser des ustensiles de cuisson appropriés pour la cuisson à micro-ondes.

La plupart des casseroles de verre, des plats de cuisson, des tasses à mesurer, des ramequins, de

vaisselle de la poterie ou de la porcelaine sans bordure ou glaçure de métal à patine métallique

peuvent être utilisés. Certains ustensiles de cuisson portent la mention « convient au four à

micro-ondes ».

CONSERVEZ CES DIRECTIVES

MISE EN GARDE!

■ Ne décongelez pas de boissons

surgelées dans des bouteilles au col

étroit (tout particulièrement les boissons

gazeuses). Même si le contenant est

ouvert, il pourrait y avoir une

accumulation de pression. Le contenant

pourrait alors éclater, menant à des

blessures possibles.

■ Les aliments préparés dans des liquides

(comme les pâtes) ont tendance à bouillir

plus rapidement que les aliments

contenant moins d’humidité. Si ceci se

produit, reportez-vous aux directives

concernant le nettoyage de l’intérieur

du four dans la section « Entretien et

nettoyage du four à micro-ondes ».

■ Les aliments chauds et la vapeur

peuvent provoquer des brûlures.

Attention en ouvrant des contenants

d’aliments chauds, y compris les sacs de

maïs éclaté, les sachets de cuisson et les

boîtes. Pour éviter les blessures possibles,

dirigez la vapeur loin des mains et du

visage.

■ Ne faites pas trop cuire les pommes de

terre. Elles pourraient se déshydrater et

s’enflammer, provoquant des dommages

à votre four.

■ Évitez de réchauffer la nourriture de

bébé dans des contenants en verre,

même après avoir retiré le couvercle.

Assurez-vous que la nourriture de

bébé soit bien cuite. Mélangez-la pour

répartir la chaleur uniformément.

Attention à l’échaudage en réchauffant

la préparation des nourrissons. Le

contenant peut être plus frais au toucher

que la préparation elle-même. Testez

toujours la préparation avant de nourrir

le bébé.

■ N’essayez pas de grande friture dans

le four.

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.

Getting to know

Advantium

Turntable

■ The turntable rotates to ensure even cooking.

Controls

■ The oven control contains preset recipes.

■ Turn-and-press dial makes menu selection easy.

Halogen Lamp and Ceramic Heaters

■ One 500-watt halogen bulb and one 700-watt ceramic heater cook food

from above.

■ One 375-watt ceramic heater cooks food from below.

Rear Convection Heat Element

■ Operates when using bake.

Microwave

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

■ The oven can also be used as a 975-watt microwave oven.

Speedcook

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 preset 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. See

POWER/TEMP in the Cooking Controls

section. The custom speedcook

feature allows you to speedcook

items not on the preset 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 pad and

turn the dial to select FOOD MENU

or FAVORITE RECIPES, or press

CUSTOM SPEEDCOOK to manually

set power level and timer. Press the

dial to enter.

2. Turn the dial to select a food, time

or power level as prompted. Press

the dial to enter.

3. To change the power level when

prompted by the display, turn

the dial clockwise to increase or

counterclockwise to decrease the

upper power level. Press the dial to

enter.

4. Microwave levels are set

automatically based on the upper

and lower lamp settings.

Press the START/PAUSE

pad

the selector dial to start cooking.

If you do not want to change one of

the settings, just press the dial to move

to the next selection.

NOTE: Be careful when adjusting

power levels so that you do not

over- or undercook food.

U = Select a higher setting for

thin foods requiring a golden

brown top (example: fish fillets,

toast, boneless chicken breasts).

Select a lower setting for thicker

foods and foods with high sugar

or fat content (example: cakes,

Things that

are normal

Cooking Times

■ When speedcooking preprogrammed foods,

you may see OPTIMIZING COOK TIME in the

display several seconds after you press

START/PAUSE. The oven automatically

senses the electrical voltage level in your

home and adjusts the cooking time up or

down for proper cooking.

Fan/Vent

■ The fan will be on during cooking. At the

end of cooking, the automatic fan may

continue to run for a short time, and the

display will read Oven is Cooling. The fan

will automatically shut off when the internal

parts of the oven have cooled.

■ The oven vent will emit warm air while

the oven is on.

Lights

■ When the oven is on, light may be visible

around the door or outer case.

■ The halogen lights will dim and cycle

on and off during a speedcook cycle,

sometimes even at full power levels.

This is normal. The oven senses the

heat level and adjusts automatically.

Oven Heat

■ No preheating time is required during

Speedcook cycles. The oven begins cooking

immediately.

■ The door and inside of the oven will be very

hot. Use caution when opening the door

and removing food.

■ Do not use cookware or coverings made

of paper, plastic or foil when cooking during

a speedcook cycle.

■ When cooking for an extended period

of time, the oven may automatically

reduce the power levels to maintain the

appropriate level of oven heat.

Sounds

■ Clicks and a fan blowing are normal sounds

during cooking. The relay board is turning

components on and off.

How to

Convection Bake

How to

Broil or

Toast

Convection

Baking,

Broiling

and

Toasting

Convection 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.

Broiling allows you to broil foods in the same way as

a conventional oven.

Toasting allows you to toast foods the same way as

a conventional oven.

A fan gently circulates heated air throughout the oven,

over and around the food. 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 turntable is in place.

Use the nonstick metal tray at all times when baking.

CAUTION:When baking, remember that

the oven, door and dishes will be very hot!

The turntable must

always be in place when

using the oven.

Put food or oven-safe

cookware directly on the

nonstick metal tray to bake.

Put food directly on the aluminum

baking sheet on the wire oven rack,

and place them on the nonstick metal

tray, when broiling or toasting foods.

For two-level baking, place food in a

metal baking dish or directly on the

nonstick metal tray. Place the aluminum

baking sheet or your baking dish with

food on top of the wire rack. Stand the

rack with food on the metal tray.

The proofing feature automatically

provides the optimum temperature

for the proofing process, and therefore

does not have a temperature adjustment.

1. Press the WARM/PROOF pad.

2. Turn the dial to select PROOF

BREAD. Press the dial to enter. The

oven starts proofing immediately

and shows the amount of proofing

time completed.

■ To avoid lowering the oven

temperature and lengthening

proofing time, do not open the

oven door unnecessarily.

■ Check bread products early

to avoid over-proofing.

NOTES:

■ Do not use the proofing mode for

warming food or keeping food hot.

The proofing oven temperature is

not hot enough to hold foods at

safe temperatures. Use the WARM

feature to keep food warm.

■ Proofing will not operate if the

oven is too hot. Allow the oven

to cool before proofing.

Defrost

Microwaving

Advantium Oven

Defrosting

tips

Use DEFROST BY FOOD TYPE for meat,

poultry and fish.

Use DEFROST BY 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 BY

FOOD TYPE

. 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 BY TIME. 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 COOK BY TIME

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 cook times and

power levels.

1. Press the COOK pad and turn the

dial to COOK BY FOOD TYPE. Press

the dial to enter. Or press the

REHEAT pad.

2. Turn the dial to select the food you

PAUSE pad 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

COOK BY TIME 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 and

the oven is already hot, it may

indicate that it is too hot for sensor

cooking. Of course, you can always

continue with COOK BY TIME or

SPEEDCOOK.

NOTE: If the oven is too hot then it will

automatically change to time cooking.

■ 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.

■ If you open the door while Sensor

Cooking, SENSOR ERROR will

appear. Close the door, press

START/PAUSE to begin again.

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:

■ 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.

Lights

■ The oven cavity light will come on

during a microwave cooking cycle.

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.

Care and Cleaning

Advantium Oven

Helpful

hints

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.

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 and

Plastic Parts on the Door

Do not use the oven without the

turntable in place.

How to

clean the

inside

Removable

turntable

Turntable

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 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.

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.

Care and Cleaning

Advantium Oven

Put food directly on the

aluminum baking sheet on the

wire oven rack, and place them

on the nonstick metal tray,

when baking on two levels,

broiling or toasting foods.

and baking

sheet

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.

How to clean

the outside

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,
