1. Unpack your Waring Pro
cover, wire roasting rack, removable roasting pan and roaster
oven body from Styrofoam
printed materials.
2. Place the roaster oven in a well-ventilated area or on a heat-
resistant surface. Set the temperature control dial to the off
setting. Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet and set the
control dial to its maximum setting of 450ºF. Operate the roaster
with oven empty (without roasting pan and cover) for about 60
minutes, or until any odor or smoke disappears. Some smoke
and odor is a normal part of "curing" the heating element and will
not occur after curing is done. When curing is completed, turn the
temperature control to the off setting, unplug the unit and
allow to cool.
3. Wash the cover, roasting pan and rack in warm, sudsy water.
Rinse and dry. See Care and Cleaning section (next page) for
complete cleaning instructions.

2. Preheating is recommended. To preheat, place the roaster pan
in the roaster body and cover. Do not preheat unit with wire
rack inside oven. Be sure the temperature control is in the off
position. Plug the roaster oven cord into a 120 volt AC outlet.
Set the temperature control to desired temperature. Preheat for
20 minutes. Insert wire rack when ready to cook. Carefully, using
hot pads, add food to the roaster pan.
3. The rack may be used for baking or fat-free roasting. Other foods,
such as meats, soups and stews, can be prepared without using
the wire rack.
4. Replace the cover. Always cook with the cover in place.
5. Cook the food for the desired amount of time. When finished, turn
the temperature control to the off position and unplug the cord
from the 120 volt AC outlet. During the cooking process, steam
will accumulate inside the roaster oven body. Always stand to
the side when removing the cover and always tilt the cover away
to divert escaping steam. Note: Please use oven mitts when
removing the cover after or during the cooking process in order
to avoid contact with any escaping steam. Allow the roaster oven
to cool, and clean as recommended.
