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 pre-set 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 pre-set
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:
