Speedcook
power level
The Advantium uses power from high
intensity halogen lamps, a ceramic
heater, and microwaves to cook food
from the top, bottom and interior
simultaneously to seal in moisture and
flavor.
When using the pre-set menu foods,
the power levels are already selected
for you. However, power levels can
be adjusted when using pre-set menu
foods and MY RECIPE.
Each power level gives you halogen
lamp or ceramic heater power and
microwave energy for a certain
percentage of the time.
For example:
U–07 Upper halogen lamp and
ceramic heater on
70% of the time.
L–07 Lower ceramic heater on
70% of the time.
M–03 Microwave on 30% of the
time.
NOTE: Be careful when adjusting
power levels so that you do not
overcook or undercook food.
1. Press the SPEEDCOOK pad and
select your food (follow instructions
from Using the pre-set speedcook
menu).
2. When display shows EDIT, SAVE or
START, turn the dial to select EDIT.
If you do not want to change one
of the settings, just press the dial to

3. Press the dial if you do not want to
adjust cooking time.
4. Turn the dial clockwise to increase
or counterclockwise to decrease
the upper power level. Press the

power level. Press the dial to enter.
6. Turn the dial to change the
microwave power level. Press the
dial to enter.

settings limit the microwave power
level. For example, if the upper or

microwave can be set no higher
than a 3.

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: muffins, roasts,
casseroles) or that require a longer
cook time.
L = Select a higher setting for thick or
dense foods that may not cook
quickly in the center (example:
steaks, casseroles). Select a lower
setting for thin foods (example:
cookies).
M = Select a higher setting to shorten
cooking time for dense or heavy
foods (example: casseroles, whole
chicken). Select a lower setting for
delicate foods (example: breads)
or foods requiring longer cook
times for tender results (example:
stew, pot roast).
Follow these general guidelines when selecting the best U=, L=, and M= settings
