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
lavor.
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 ish.
follow these general guidelines when selecting the best u and l settings for your
favorite recipe:
U = Select a higher setting for thin
foods requiring a golden brown
top (example: ish illets, toast,
boneless chicken breasts). Select
a lower setting for thicker foods
and foods with high sugar or fat
content (example: cakes, roasts).
