WARNING
When using Precision Cook programs, remember that the oven, door and dishes
will be very hot!
Precision Cook Power Level
The Advantium uses power from high intensity halogen
lamps, a ceramic heater, a convection system 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 Custom
Precision Cook.
Each power level gives you halogen lamp or ceramic
heater power and microwave energy for a certain
percentage of the time or provides heating from the
convection system.
For example:
U–07 Upper halogen lamp on 70% of the time.
L–07 Lower ceramic heater on 70% of the time.
C–06 Convection element heats oven to 350ºF.
M–05 Microwave on 50% of the time.
NOTE: Be careful when adjusting power levels so that
you do not over- or undercook food.
Follow these general guidelines when selecting the best
U=, L=, M= and C= settings for your favorite recipe:
