WARNING!

■ Do not operate the oven without the

oven rack (turntable) in place. The oven
rack (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.

■ Do not store anything directly on top

of the oven surface when the oven is
in operation.

■ 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.

■ Keep the oven free from grease

buildup.

■ Potentially hot surfaces include the

oven door, floor, walls and oven rack
(turntable).

■ The fan will operate automatically

under certain conditions (see the
Automatic Fan section). Take care to
prevent the starting and spreading of
accidental cooking fires while the vent
fan is in use.

■ Clean the underside of the oven often.

Do not allow grease to build up on the
oven or the fan filters.

■ In the event of a grease fire on the

surface units below the oven, smother
a flaming pan on the surface unit by
covering the pan completely with a lid,
a cookie sheet or a flat tray.

■ Use care when cleaning the vent fan

filters. Corrosive cleaning agents, such
as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage
the filters.

■ When preparing flaming foods under

the oven, turn the vent fan on.

■ Never leave surface units beneath your

oven unattended at high heat settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite and spread
if the oven vent fan is operating. To
minimize automatic fan operation, use
adequate sized cookware and use high
heat on surface units only when
necessary.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Advantium Oven

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).

■ 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.

■ Use foil only as recommended in

this guide.

ARCING

Arcing can occur during both speedcooking and microwave cooking. If you see arcing, press the
CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem.
