How to Use and Care for your Roaster Oven
before using for the first time
Unpack your NESCO ® Roaster Oven completely and REMOVE ALL PACKAGING
MATERIAL AND INFORMATION LABELS. Place the Roaster Oven in a WELL
VENTILATED AREA ON A HEAT RESISTANT SURFACE. Set the control dial to its
minimum setting. Plug the cord into a 10 volt AC outlet. Return control to maximum
setting (45ºF). Operate the Roaster Oven empty (without the Cookwell or Cover) for
approximately 60 minutes, or until any odor or smoking disappear. Some smoke and
odor are a normal part of “curing” the element and will not reoccur in cooking use. When
curing is completed, turn the temperature control to its lowest setting, unplug the unit
from the electrical outlet and allow to cool.
Wash the Cover, Cookwell and Rack in warm sudsy water, then rinse and dry. Refer to
complete cleaning instructions on next page.
NON-STICK COOKWELL: When ‘curing” your Roaster Oven with a non-stick
Cookwell, we recommend that it be operated WITHOUT COVER AND COOKWELL.
Do this in a covered outside area or other well-ventilated area. After curing and cleaning,
and before cooking in your non-stick Cookwell for the first time, lightly coat the interior
of the Cookwell with vegetable oil.
To Operate Your Roaster Oven
Place the Cookwell into the Heatwell. Always use the Cookwell for food. NEVER
PLACE FOOD DIRECTLY IN THE HEATWELL.
Preheating is recommended. To preheat, place the Cookwell into the Heatwell and
cover. Set the control dial to its minimum setting. Plug into a 10 volt AC outlet.
Reset the temperature control to desired temperature. Preheat 0 minutes. Carefully,
using hot pads, add food to the Cookwell.
The Rack may be used for baking or fat-free roasting. Other foods, such as soups
and stews, are prepared without the Rack.
Replace the Cover. Always cook with the Cover in place.
If the Roaster Oven has not been preheated, turn the temperature control to its lowest
setting. Plug the cord into a 10 volt AC outlet. Set the temperature control to the
desired temperature. Fill the Cookwell with food as desired.
Cook the food for the desired amount of time. When finished, turn the temperature
control to its lowest setting, unplug the cord from the 10 volt outlet. Allow the
Roaster Oven to cool and clean as recommended below.
COOKWELL, COVER AND ACCUMULATED STEAM WILL BE HOT. USE
CAUTION AND HOT PADS TO LIFT COVER OR REMOVE COOKWELL
FROM HEATWELL.
