[] Not all plastic wrap is suitable for usein microwave ovens. Check the packagefor proper use.

[] "Bailable" cooking pouches and tightlyclosed plastic bags should be slit, piercedor vented as directed by package. If theyare not, plastic could burst during orimmediately after cooking, possiblyresulting in injury. Also, plastic storagecontainers should be at least partiallyuncovered because the U form a tightseal. When cooking with containerstightly covered with plastic wrap, removecovering carefully and direct steamaway from handsand face.

[] Plastic cookware-Plastic cookware

designed for microwave cooking is veryuseful, but should be used carefully. Evenmicrowave-safe plastic may not be astolerant of overcooking conditionsas are glass or ceramic materials andmay soften or char if subjected to shortperiods of overcooking. In longerexposures to overcooking, the foodand cookware could ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

1. Use microwave-safe plastics onlyand use them in strict compliancewith the cookware manufacturer'srecommendations.

2. Do not microwave empty containers.

3. Do not permit children to use plasticcookware without complete supervision.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS[]

[]

Don't defrost frozen beverages in []narrow-necked bottles (especiallycarbonated beverages). Even if the

container is open, pressure can build up. []This can cause the container to burst,possibly resulting in injury.

Foods cooked in liquids (such aspasta) may tend to boil more rapidlythan foods containing less moisture.Should this occur, refer to the Careand Cleaning of the oven section forinstructions on how to clean theinside of the oven.

[] Hot foods and steam can cause

burns. Be careful when opening anycontainers of hot food, including popcornbags, cooking pouches and boxes. Toprevent possible injury, direct steamaway from hands and face.

Do not overcook potatoes. They coulddehydrate and catch fire, causingdamage to your oven.

Avoid heating baby food in glassjars,even with the lid off. Hake sure all infant

food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food todistribute the heat evenly. Be careful toprevent scalding when warming formula.The container may feel cooler than theformula really is. Always test the formulabefore feeding the baby.

[] Do not attempt to deep fry in the oven.

What is Advantium?

Advantium Oven

Getting to knowAdvantium

The new Advantium oven uses

breakthrough Speedcook technologyto harness the power of light. TheAdvantium oven cooks the outsideof foods much like conventional

radiant heat, while also penetrating

the surface so the inside cooks

simultaneously. While halogen light isthe primary source of power, a"microwave boost" is added with

certain foods. Foods cook evenly andfast, retaining their natural moisture.

Defrostingtips

Use DEFROST BY FOOD TYPE for meat,poultry and fish. Use DEFROST BY TIMEfor most other frozen foods.

[]

[]

[]

Foods frozen in paper or plastic canbe time defrosted in the package,but foods should be taken out of the []

package when using DEFROST BYFOOD TYPE.Closed packagesshould be slit, pierced or ventedafter food has partially defrosted.Plastic storage containers should []be partially uncovered.

Family-size, prepackaged frozendinners can be defrosted andmicrowaved. If the food is ina foil container, transfer it toa microwave-safe dish.

Foods that spoil easily should notbe allowed to sit out for more thanone hour after defrosting. Roomtemperature promotes the growthof harmful bacteria.

For more even defrosting oflarger foods, such as roasts, useDEFROST BY TIME. Be sure largemeats are completely defrostedbefore cooking.

When defrosted, food should becool but softened in all areas.

If still slightly icy, return to themicrowave very briefly, or letit stand a few minutes.
