This appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce
the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord
may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an
extension cord is used, the marked electrical
rating of the cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the roaster. The extension
cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or table top where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt
to service this product.

How to Clean Your Roaster Oven
Determining whether Meat is Done:
It is recommended that you use a meat thermometer to determine doneness
when cooking meat and poultry. Insert the thermometer into the center of the
thickest portion of the meat. Cook until temperature for desired doneness is
reached. The FDA recommends when roasting, meats should reach 145º to
prevent food borne illness.
CAUTION: Never cook without pan in place.
*Rare pork, ham or poultry is not recommended.

Preparing Your Roaster Oven for Use
•Always use the Cooking Pan in the
Roaster Oven when cooking.
• Note: Never place food or liquid
directly into the Roaster Oven Body.
•Caution should be used when
removing the Lid so that the steam
escapes away from you.
•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.
• The Roaster Oven roasts and bakes
at approximately the same
temperatures and in the same time
as a standard oven.
• 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 on poultry, do not add liquids
(with the exception of the basting
butter or oil) until there are only 30
minutes left of cooking.
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Wash the Cooking 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.

Slow Cooking
Slow cooking is best for less tender cuts of meat. Heat is gradual with slow
cooking. It is not necessary to stir when slow cooking. Avoid removing the cover
during slow cooking, heat escapes during slow cooking and you may need to
increase the cooking time. When using a standard recipe, slow cook 11⁄2 hours for
every 30 minutes. Slow cook using the 250° F setting.
Baking*
• Baking pans should always be placed on the roasting rack. Do not place pans
on bottom of cooking pan.
•Metal pans are recommended for use in the roaster as they provide better
heat transfer and browning.
CAUTION: Use hot pads or mitts when removing food from oven. Rack will be
hot, allow to cool or remove with hot pads/mitts.
