escaping and cause food to overcook.

Sensor Cooking
The Advantium’s microwave mode features sensor 
cooking. The oven automatically senses when food 
is done and shuts itself off—eliminating the need to 
program cook times and power levels.
Do not open the oven door until time is counting down 
in the display. If the door is opened, close it and press 
RESUME immediately. If the food is not done enough, 
use COOK BY TIME  in the microwave selector to cook 
for more time.
NOTE: Do not use the sensor features twice in 
succession on the same food portion—it may result in 
severely overcooked or burnt food. If the food is not 
done enough at the end of the sensor cook time, use 
Cook BY Time  in the microwave selector to cook for 
more time.

indicate that it is too hot for sensor cooking. In that 
case, the oven will automatically change to time 
cooking and may prompt for weights or amounts of 
food.

Notes About the Reheat Program:
Reheated foods may have wide variations in 
temperature. Some areas may be extremely hot.
