WARNING!

When microwaving, place all foods
and containers on the glass microwave
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.

The oven and door will get very hot
when speedcooking or using the
oven/bake feature.

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. 

Place food or oven-safe cookware
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 
black metal tray. 

Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.

Use of the glass microwave tray with
the speedcook or oven/bake features
will result in inferior cooking
performance.

FOODS
