IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Advantium Oven
UTIONS
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.
Potentially hot surfaces include the
oven door, floor, walls, oven rack and
turntable.
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.
ARCING
Arcing can occur during both speedcooking and microwave cooking. If you see arcing,
press the CANCEL/OFF pad and correct the problem.
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 or the wire oven
rack 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.
FOODS []
[]
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 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. Visiblebubbling or
boiling when the container is removed from
the microwave oven is not always present.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
- Do not overheat the liquid.
