POWER LEVELS
Advantium uses power from high intensity halo-
gen lamps, as well as microwave energy, to cook
foods evenly and quickly (average of one-fourth
the time of a conventional oven) to seal in mois-
ture and flavor.
Power levels are selected with the selector dial
and can be adjusted before cooking or during
cooking. When using preset menu foods, the
power levels are already selected for you. How-
ever, power levels can be adjusted when cook-
ing both preset menu food and when manual
cooking.
Power levels are adjusted independently for the
upper halogen lamps (pair), lower halogen lamp
(single) and microwave energy. When selecting
a upper halogen lamp power level, the power level
can only be selected for the pair. You can not
select power levels for the upper rear and upper
front independently.
Power levels of 0 to 10 can be selected for the
upper halogen lamps (pair), lower halogen lamp
and microwave energy. The power levels control
the percentage of “on” time for the upper halo-
gen lamp pair, the lower halogen lamp and mi-
crowave high voltage circuit.
The programming on the smart board which con-
trols the upper and lower halogen lamps, as well
as the high voltage/magnetron circuits, operates
on a duty cycle of 32 seconds. This means the
power level you select for each component con-
trols the percentage of “on” time during each 32
second period of time.
In the example shown in the upper right, the up-
per halogen lamps would cycle for 80% of each
32 second period, the lower would cycle at 50%
of each 32 second period and the microwave high
voltage circuit would be energized for 30% of each
32 second period.

Upper Halogen Lamp Pair (U=)
The upper halogen lamps provide radiant heat
to the top surface of the food. 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:
cakes, roasts).
Lower Halogen Lamp (L=)
The lower halogen lamps provide cooking from
below to heat the cooking surface (cooking trays
and cookware). Select a higher setting for thick
or dense foods that may not cook quickly in the
center (example: casseroles). Select a lower
setting for thin foods (example: cookies) and foods
containing high fat or sugar content (example:
pastries, cakes).
Microwave Energy (M=)
Microwave energy is provided by the high volt-
age/magnetron circuit and directed via the wave
guide directly into the oven cavity. As the food
rotates on the oven turntable, microwave energy
is evenly distributed to all portions of the food.
Select a higher setting to shorten cooking time
for dense or heavy foods (example: casseroles,
whole chicken). Select a lower setting for deli-
cate foods (example: cakes, breads, souffles) or
foods requiring longer cooking times for tender
results (example: stew, pot roast).
