Advantium Oven

Speedcook power level

The Advantium uses power from high intensity halogen lamps, a ceramic heater, and microwaves to cook food from the top, bottom and interior simultaneously to seal in moisture and flavor.

When using the pre-set menu foods, the power levels are already selected for you. However, power levels can be adjusted when using pre-set menu foods and MY RECIPE.

Each power level gives you halogen lamp or ceramic heater power and microwave energy for a certain percentage of the time.

For example:

U–07 Upper halogen lamp and ceramic heater on 70% of the time.

L–07 Lower ceramic heater on 70% of the time.

M–03 Microwave on 30% of the time.

NOTE: Be careful when adjusting power levels so that you do not overcook or undercook food.

1.Press the SPEEDCOOK pad and select your food (follow instructions from Using the pre-set speedcook menu).

2.When display shows EDIT, SAVE or START, turn the dial to select EDIT.

If you do not want to change one of the settings, just press the dial to move to the next selection.

3.Press the dial if you do not want to adjust cooking time.

4.Turn the dial clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the upper power level. Press the dial to enter.

5.Turn the dial to change the lower power level. Press the dial to enter.

6.Turn the dial to change the microwave power level. Press the dial to enter.

Note that the upper and lower level settings limit the microwave power level. For example, if the upper or lower power level is set to a 7, the microwave can be set no higher than a 3.

7.Press the START/PAUSE pad or the selector dial to start cooking.

Follow these general guidelines when selecting the best U=, L=, and M= settings for your favorite recipes:

U = Select a higher setting for thin foods requiring a golden brown top (example: fish fillets, toast, boneless chicken breasts). Select a lower setting for thicker foods and foods with high sugar or fat content (example: muffins, roasts, casseroles) or that require a longer cook time.

L = Select a higher setting for thick or dense foods that may not cook quickly in the center (example: steaks, casseroles). Select a lower setting for thin foods (example: cookies).

M = Select a higher setting to shorten cooking time for dense or heavy foods (example: casseroles, whole chicken). Select a lower setting for delicate foods (example: breads) or foods requiring longer cook times for tender results (example: stew, pot roast).
