IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Advantium Oven

WARNING!

FOODS	■ When microwaving, place all foods and
	containers on the white ceramic 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 boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO 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.

Speedcook oven-safe cookware

The oven rack

(turntable) must always be in place when using the oven.

Put food directly on the black metal flat tray to speedcook.

■The oven and door will get very hot when speedcooking.

■Cookware will become hot. Oven mitts will be needed to handle the cookware.

■Do not use coverings, containers or cooking/roasting bags made of foil, plastic, wax or paper when speedcooking.

■Do not cover the oven rack (turntable), trays or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause arcing in the oven.

■Use the black metal flat tray in the same way you would use a shallow baking pan or baking tray.

■Use the black grill tray for cooking steaks, fish and poultry.

■Place food directly on the trays when cooking.

■Any oven-safe dish can be used in your oven. Recipes in the Advantium Cookbook were tested in Pyrex® and Anchor Hocking® glass cookware and Corningware® ceramic casseroles. Cooktimes and results may vary when using other types of oven-safe dishes. Place them directly on the oven rack (turntable).

■Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.

■Use of the white ceramic tray when speedcooking will result in inferior cooking performance.

Put food directly on the black grill tray to speedcook foods you would normally cook on the grill.
