Speedcooking
Advantium Oven
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 preset 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 preset 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.
1. Press the SPEEDCOOK pad 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.
2. Turn the dial to select a food, time
or power level as prompted. Press
the dial to enter.
3. To change the power level when
prompted by the display, turn
the dial clockwise to increase or
counterclockwise to decrease the
upper power level. Press the dial to
enter.
4. Microwave levels are set
automatically based on the upper
and lower lamp settings.
5. Press the START/PAUSE pad or
the selector dial to start cooking.
If you do not want to change one of
the settings, just press the dial to move
to the next selection.
NOTE: Be careful when adjusting
power levels so that you do not
over- or undercook food.
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: cakes,
roasts).
L = 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: pastry, cakes).
Follow these general guidelines when selecting the best U and L settings for your
favorite recipes:
