PREPARING YOUR ROASTER OVEN FOR USE
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Wash the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN, ROASTING RACK, BUFFET
SERVER FRAME, SERVING DISHES 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.

TIPS FOR ROASTING

• Always use the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN in the roaster oven
when cooking.
NOTE: Never place food or liquid directly into the ROASTER OVEN BODY.
• 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.
Lowering temperature and cooking longer will also give meat a
crisper, darker brown skin.
• 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.
