IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Advantium Oven
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
[]
[]
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.
ARCING
Arcing can occur during both speedcooking and microwave cooking. If you see arcing,
press the CLEAR/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 used during either
speedcook or microwave cooking (except
for the puns 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 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 baiting when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not
always present. THIS COULD RESULTIN
VERYHOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLYBOILING
OVERWHEN THE CONTAINERIS DISTURBED
OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTEDINTO 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.
