PREPARING YOUR ROASTER OVEN FOR USE
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Wash the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN, ROASTING RACK and LID in hot, soapy
water using a sponge or wash cloth. Rinse thoroughly.
3. The outside of the ROASTER OVEN BODY may be cleaned with a soft cloth and
warm soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Do not immerse the
ROASTER OVEN BODY in water.
NOTE: Due to manufacturing process, some smoke and odor may be noticed during
the first use. This should disappear after the first heating of the roaster oven.

IMPORTANT POINTS

• Always use the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN in the roaster oven when cooking.
Never place food or liquid directly into the ROASTER OVEN BODY.
NOTE:
• Avoid the steam vents when removing or lifting the LID.
• Significant amounts of heat escape whenever the LID is removed; therefore
the cooking time must be extended. Avoid frequent removal of the LID for
checking cooking progress or stirring.
• To use the LID REST feature, hold the LID upright by the HANDLE and place
the edge of the LID under the metal tabs just above either side HANDLE.
• Convenience foods can be baked in the roaster oven. Place container on
ROASTING RACK. Follow package directions.
• Meats roasted in your Roaster Oven will be moist and tender. For additional
browning, brush oil or butter over the meat before cooking.
• To create a darker roasted, crispier skin poultry, do not add liquids (with the
exception of the basting butter or oil) until there are only 30 minutes left
of cooking.
