BEFORE USING YOUR ROASTER OVEN
1. Carefully unpack your roaster oven and clean, see CLEANING YOUR
ROASTER OVEN.
2. It is necessary to operate the roaster empty one time to burn off excess
manufacturing oils. Plug into 120 V ~ 60 Hz outlet in a well-ventilated area.
Place liner into base and lid on roaster.
3. Turn the control knob to maximum temperature setting. Allow to heat for one
hour or until any odor or smoke disappears. This process is necessary as a
part of the initial seasoning of the heating element.
CAUTION: THE ROASTER WILL BECOME HOT WITH USE.
CAUTION: BASE, LINER, LID AND RACK WILL GET VERY WARM DURING
USE. IF NECESSARY TO HANDLE, USE POT HOLDERS OR OVEN MITTS.
4. When time is complete, turn control knob to minimum position and unplug
from outlet. Allow to cool before moving.
5. Clean the lid, liner and rack, see CLEANING YOUR ROASTER OVEN.
USING YOUR ROASTER OVEN
1. Plug into a 120V ~ 60Hz outlet. Place liner into base and place lid on roaster
oven.
2. Turn control knob to the desired preheat temperature setting and allow to
preheat for 20 minutes.
CAUTION: THE ROASTER WILL BECOME HOT WITH USE AND PRODUCE
STEAM. CAUTION SHOULD BE USED TOAVOID COVERING STEAM VENT
HOLES OR COMING IN CONTACT WITH HOT STEAM FROM STEAM VENT
HOLES. NEVER PLACE FOOD OR WATER IN THE BASE.
CAUTION: BASE, LINER, LID AND RACK WILL GET VERY WARM DURING
USE. IF NECESSARY TO HANDLE, USE POT HOLDERS OR OVEN MITTS.
3. Prepare recipe according to instructions and carefully add to the preheated
liner using hot pads. Place lid on roaster oven. Do not fill the liner to the brim
with food. Always cook with the liner in position and lid on the liner.
Remember that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking increases total cook-
ing time. Use the rack with handles for roasting, steaming and baking.
Follow recipes or hints to place soups and food into liner without the rack.
NOTE: Food touching the sides of the liner will brown too much unless they
are in a liquid.
4. Turn the control knob to the desired temperature.
5. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the lid by grasping the handle and lifting
the lid away from you. This will allow the steam to escape and moisture to
drip back into food before removing the lid completely.
6. When cooking time is complete, turn control knob to minimum position and
unplug from outlet. The cooking times in the charts are only guides.
7. Allow to cool completely before cleaning, see CLEANING YOUR ROASTER
OVEN.
