"SMOKE OUT" OVEN BEFORE USE

It is necessary to "SMOKE OUT" your roaster oven before regular use. You will only need to perform this procedure once. It is NORMAL for smoke and odor to bepresent during this process. The "SMOKE OUT" process:

1. Place the roaster base in a well ventilated area on a heat-resistant surface.
2. Set the control knob to minimum setting and plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet.
3. Turn control knob to maximum setting (450ºF). Operate the roaster base empty (without the cookwell, cover or rack) for approximately 60 minutes, or until any odor or smoking disappears.
4. When finished, turn the control knob to minimum setting, unplug the unit from the electrical outlet and allow to cool.

Operating Instructions

1. Place appliance on a flat, heatresistant, stable surface in a well ventilated area.
2. Place the cookwell into the roaster base and cover cookwell with lid. Always put food in the cookwell. NEVER PLACE FOOD DIRECTLY INTO THE ROASTER BASE.
3. Preheating is recommended. To preheat, place the cookwell into roaster base and cover with lid. Set the control knob to its minimum setting. Plug into a 120 volt AC outlet. Reset the control knob to desired temperature. Preheat 20 minutes. Use hot pads and carefully remove lid. Add food into the cookwell.
4. The rack may be used for baking or roasting. Other foods, such as soups and stews, are prepared without the rack.
5. Replace the lid. Always cook with the cookwell and lid in place.
6. If the roaster oven has not been preheated, turn the control knob to its minimum setting. Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet. Set the control knob to the desired temperature. Fill the cookwell with food as desired.
7. Cook the food for the desired amount of time. When finished, turn the control knob to its minimum setting, unplug the cord from the 120 volt outlet. Allow the roaster oven to cool and clean as recommended.
8. Cookwell and lid will be hot while in use. Use hot pads when removing lid or cookwell from the roaster base. Tilt lid away from you to prevent steam burns.
9. Do not move the appliance while in operation. Always remove cord from outlet and allow to cool.

ROAST:

• For additional browning, add 1 tbsp. browning sauce to oil and brush over skin before roasting.
• To sear meat: preheat covered oven at 450ºF. Add margarine to bottom of cookwell, then sear meat 10 to 15 minutes per side until lightly browned.
• "Alternative" browning method for self-basting turkeys: preheat at 400°F for 20 minutes. Roast for 1 hour at 400°F. Reduce heat to 350° using time in chart, approximately 13 - 18 minutes per pound. Prior to the last hour of roasting, increase temperature to 400°F and remove all excess juices in bottom of cookwell.

COOK:

• Cut meats and vegetables should be of uniform size pieces.
• Add additional liquid sparingly, not much escapes during cooking.

BAKE:

• Use the rack when baking to allow better air flow.
• Two loaf pans will fit into the cookwell. Try meat and vegetables or two loaves of bread at the same time.
• Cover baking rack with aluminum foil or use a baking sheet.
• Most 1 and 2 quart casserole dishes, 9 x 13 baking pans and pie plates will fit into the cookwell. Place on the rack for better heat circulation while baking.
• Frozen entrees or convenient foods can be baked in the oven simply by following package directions. Place item on wire rack for best results.

Care & Cleaning

1. Turn control knob to MINIMUM setting and unplug cord from power outlet.
2. After the Roaster Oven has cooled, remove lid, rack (if used) and cookwell. Wash these items in warm soapy water using a sponge or soft cloth.
3. To easily remove baked-on food residue, place cookwell in roaster base; then fill cookwell with water. Cover and heat at 350ºF for 30 minutes. Turn off and allow to cool completely. Wash cookwell as directed above.
4. NEVER IMMERSE THE ROASTER BASE IN WATER. To clean, wipe outside of roaster base with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleansers on exterior surface.
5. Porcelain enamel cookwell has a strong finish and provides easy cleaning and years of use. However, it will chip if subjected to sharp blows or if it's mistreated.
6. Water spots or mineral deposits (characterized by a white film on surface) may be removed by wiping with household vinegar and a soft cloth.
