Baking, Broiling and Toasting Advantium Oven Baking, Broiling and Toasting Baking allows you to cook foods the same way as a conventional oven, using a heating element to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 250°F to 450°F may be set. Broiling allows you to broil foods in the same way as a conventional oven. Toasting allows you to toast foods the same way as a conventional oven. A fan gently circulates heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food. Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around the food, some foods cook slightly faster than in regular oven cooking. The turntable must always be in place when using the oven. Put food or oven-safe cookware directly on the non-stick metal tray to bake. Before you begin, make sure the turntable is in place. Use the non-stick metal tray at all times when baking. CAUTION: When baking, remember that the oven, door and dishes will be very hot! How to Bake For two-level baking, place food in a metal baking dish or directly on the non-stick metal tray. Place the aluminum baking sheet or your baking dish with food on top of the wire rack. Stand the rack with food on the metal tray. 1. Press the CONV BAKE/BROIL pad. 2. Press the dial to select BAKE. 3. Turn the dial to set the oven temperature and press to enter.

(You will be prompted to enter the cook time, after the oven is preheated.) 2. When the oven is finished preheating, it will signal. If you do not open the door within 1 hour, the oven will turn off automatically. Open the oven door and, using caution, place the food in the oven. 3. Close the oven door.
