Before Using For The First Time; Operating Instructions - Bella 18 Qt. Roaster Oven Instruction Manual

Operating Instructions

1. Turn the temperature control to OFF. Plug the Roaster Oven into
a 120 V AC electrical outlet.
IMPORTANT: Make sure liner is inside the Roaster Oven base.
2. Preheat Roaster Oven (without the wire rack) by turning the temperature
control to the recipe temperature. As the dial is turned, the power ON
indicator light will illuminate. Allow Roaster Oven to preheat for
20 minutes before cooking.
NOTE: Due to the manufacturing process, some smoke and odor may be
noticed during the first use. This should disappear after the first heating
of the Roaster Oven.
3. Use the wire cooking rack for baking or fat free roasting. Other foods
such as meats, soups and stews, can be prepared without using
the wire rack.
4. Prepare recipe according to instructions.
WARNING: Roaster Oven is hot. Use cooking mitts to add food
to the liner.
NOTE: If the wire cooking rack is to be used, use the handles to place the
wire rack into the liner first. Then place food to be cooked onto
the wire rack.
NOTE: When cooking a meat and vegetable combination without a rack.
Place the vegetables in the bottom of the liner first. Then add the meat
and other ingredients.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT FILL THE LINER MORE THAN
3/4 FULL WITH FOOD.
5. Cover Roaster Oven with the lid.
6. To ensure the efficient build up of heat, do not lift the lid during the first
2 hours of cook time. Frequent lifting of the lid during cooking delays the
cooking time.
7. Cook according to recipe instructions.
8. Depending on the food served, when the cooking time is complete, turn
the temperature control to 93ºC/200ºF to keep food warm, or to
the OFF position. Unplug the unit.
9. Using oven mitts, carefully lift the lid slightly away from you to allow the
steam to escape for a few seconds before completely removing the lid.
10. Using oven mitts and a long handle spoon, remove food from the liner
onto a serving dish or platter.
11. Allow the Roaster Oven to cool completely before cleaning, see
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.
12. Clean and prepare the Roaster Oven base and parts for storing.
CAUTION: Even when turned OFF and unplugged, the Roaster Oven base
and liner top surface may remain hot for some time after using; allow unit to
cool completely before cleaning or storing.
