Customer Information Advantium Oven Introduction Congratulations! You are now part of the cooking revolution! As part of the vision to help consumers live better, easier lives, GE Appliances introduces the revolutionary GE Advantium oven with Speedcook technology. This new oven roasts, grills, bakes, browns and broils, just like your conventional oven—only faster—and with delicious results. You also save time because Advantium requires no preheating.
What is Advantium? Advantium Oven Getting to know Advantium The new Advantium oven uses breakthrough Speedcook technology to harness the power of light. The Advantium oven cooks the outside of foods much like conventional radiant heat, while also penetrating the surface so the inside cooks simultaneously. While halogen light is the primary source of power, a “microwave boost” is added with certain foods. Foods cook evenly and fast, retaining their natural moisture.

Care and Cleaning Advantium Oven Helpful hints Open the oven door a few minutes after cooking to air out the inside. An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh. Clean the inside of the oven after each use for proper heating performance. Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others may require a warm soapy cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth.
Care and Cleaning Advantium Oven Baking sheets (cooking trays) To prevent breakage, allow the trays to cool completely before cleaning. Wash carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher.

Case Clean the outside with a sudsy cloth. Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth. Door Surface It’s important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the oven. Use only mild, nonabrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.
Care and Cleaning Advantium Oven The vent fan The vent fan has 2 metal reusable vent filters. Charcoal Filter (on some models) Models that recirculate air back into the room also use a charcoal filter. Reusable Vent Filters (on all models) Reusable vent filters The metal filters trap grease released by foods on the cooktop. They also prevent flames from foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the oven. For this reason, the filters must always be in place when the hood is used.
Care and Cleaning Advantium Oven Charcoal filter (JX81A) The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. Order Part No. WB02X4267 from your GE supplier. If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors.
