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 flavor.

When using the pre-set 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 pre-set 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 fish.

LOWER POWER (L) controls the lower heater.

Select a higher setting to brown foods more on the bottom. Select a lower setting for less browning on the bottom.

and turn the dial to select FOOD MENU or FAVORITE RECIPES, or press CUSTOM SPEEDCOOK to manually set power level and timer. Press the dial to enter.
