When speedcooking pre-set menu foods,
you may see OPTIMIZING COOK TIME in
the display several seconds after you
press Start/Pause. The oven automatically
senses the electrical voltage level in your
home and adjusts the cooking time up or
down for proper cooking.
Cooling Fans
The fans will be on during cooking. At the
end of cooking, the fans may continue
to run for a short time to cool internal
components. The fans will automatically
shut off when the internal parts of the
oven have cooled. The screen will display
"Oven is Cooling".
The oven vent will emit warm air while the
oven is on.
The exhaust fan may come on
automatically if the oven becomes hot. See
Automatic Fan section.
Lights
When the oven is on, light may be visible
around the door or outer case.
The halogen lights will dim and cycle
on and off during a speedcook cycle,
sometimes even at full power levels. This
is normal. The oven senses the heat level
and adjusts automatically.

place when using the oven.

Speedcooking

Advantium Oven
Put food directly on the metal tray or metal grill tray to speedcook.
Speedcooking meats in the oven may
produce smoke.
To cook for additional time after a cooking
cycle has been completed, use the Resume
feature as instructed on the display.
Oven Heat
No preheating time is required during
speedcook cycles. The oven begins
cooking immediately.
The door and inside of the oven will be
very hot. Use caution when opening the
door and removing food. Be cautious of
steam or vapor that may escape from
around the door.
Do not use cookware or coverings made of
paper, plastic, or foil when speedcooking.
When cooking for an extended period
of time, the oven may automatically
reduce the power levels to maintain the
appropriate level of oven heat.
Sounds
Clicks and a fan blowing are normal
sounds during cooking. The electronic
control is turning components on and off.
Interference
TV/radio interference might be noticed
while using the microwave, similar to
the interference caused by other small
appliances. It does not indicate a problem
with the microwave. Move the radio or
TV as far away from the microwave as
possible, or check the position of the TV/
radio antenna.
