Advantium - Explanation of Ways to Heat in 120V Models

The Advantium 120 (120 Volt model) is capable of Speedcooking, convection baking, broiling, toasting, warming, proofing and microwaving. This article describes the use of each cooking function. Consult the Owner's Manual for more information about each cooking mode.

Speedcooking

The Speedcook feature is the biggest benefit of the Advantium oven. While halogen light is the primary source of power, a ceramic heater assists in the cooking, with a “microwave boost” added in many cooking algorithms. Food cooks evenly and fast, retaining its natural moisture. A 500 Watt halogen lamp and 700 Watt ceramic heater cook food from above while a 375 Watt ceramic heater cooks from below in Speedcook, broil and toast modes.

The Advantium is pre-set to cook over 175 different foods. When using the pre-set menu, the power levels are already selected for the food selected from the menu. Each power level gives you halogen lamp or ceramic heater power and microwave energy for a certain percentage of the time. These power levels can also be adjusted when using the pre-set menu or if you choose to manually set the power levels.

Microwaving

The Advantium’s microwave mode features sensor cooking and reheating as well as other standard microwave features, like Defrost. Based on the food type selected, the humidity sensor detects when the food is done and turns off automatically.

Convection Baking

Convection baking allows you to cook foods the same way as a conventional oven, using a 1550 Watt element to heat the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 250° Fahrenheit to 450° Fahrenheit may be set. A fan gently circulates heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food.

Broiling and Toasting

A 500 Watt halogen lamp and 700 Watt ceramic heater cook food from above while a 375 Watt ceramic heater cooks from below in Speedcook, broil and toast modes.

Warming and Proofing

These modes use special algorithms to control the halogen lamps to meet the temperatures needed for Warm or Proof. The Warm feature will keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature so cookware and utensils should be able to withstand temperatures up to 230° Fahrenheit. Proof mode generally maintains a temperature between 90 and 100 degrees.
