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.
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.
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.
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 Place food directly on the trays when
cooking.
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 the black metal flat tray in the
same way you would use a shallow
baking pan or baking tray.
I Use of the white ceramic tray when
speedcooking will result in inferior
cooking performance.
Put food directly on the

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.”
Microwave-
safe
cookware
I Place food or microwavable container
directly on the white ceramic tray to
cook your food.
I 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.
I Use of either black metal tray during
microwave cooking will result in
inferior cooking performance.
I Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use
in microwave ovens. Check the package
for proper use.
The oven rack
(turntable) must always
be in place when using
the oven.
I 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.
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
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.

I Cookware may become hot because
of heat transferred from the heated
food. Oven mitts may be needed to
handle the cookware.
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.

Care and Cleaning
Advantium Oven
An occasional thorough wiping with
a solution of baking soda and water
keeps the inside fresh.
Helpful
hints
Be certain the oven control is
turned off before cleaning any
part of this oven.
Clean the inside of the oven often
for proper heating performance.
How to
clean the
inside
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.
Walls, Floor, Inside Window, Metal
and Plastic Parts on the Door
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.
Removable
oven rack
(turntable)
The oven rack (turntable) can be
broken if dropped. Wash carefully
in warm, sudsy water.
Oven Rack (Turntable)
Dry completely and replace.
Do not use the oven without the
oven rack (turntable) in place.
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.
35
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.
Baking sheets
(cooking trays)
Black metal tray for
speedcooking
Grill tray for speedcooking
White ceramic tray for
microwaving
Both the upper and lower halogen
lamp covers must be kept free of
grease and food spatterings in order
to operate effectively.
Halogen
lamp covers
Clean the lamp glass covers often to
avoid excess smoking and decreased
cooking power.
Upper halogen lamp cover
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).
Lower halogen lamp cover
(with turntable removed)
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.
For heavy or burned on soil
36
Care and Cleaning
Advantium Oven
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.
Grill
How to clean
the outside
Use warm soapy water and a
dishcloth to wipe off the grill.
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.
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.
Clean with hot soapy water.
Rinse and dry.
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®. Soils can be
soaked several hours with wet towels.
Apply cleaner with a damp sponge,
rinse thoroughly, and dry. 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
