IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

When using electrical appliances, basic
safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles

or knobs.

3. Use oven mitts to remove the Insert Pan
or Rack from the roaster oven, or to
remove a baking pan or cooked food
from the insert pan.

4. To protect against electrical shock do not
immerse roaster base, cord, or plug in
water or other liquid.

5. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.

6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts and before
cleaning.

7. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been
dropped or damaged in any manner.
Call our toll-free customer service num­ber for information on examination,
repair, or adjustment.

8. The use of accessory attachments
not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.

9. Do not use outdoors.

10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table

or counter, or touch hot surfaces,
including the stove.

11. To disconnect, turn any control to “Off”
and then remove plug from wall outlet.

12. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.

13. Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot oil
or other hot liquids.

14. Steam escaping from under lid is hot
and can burn.

15. Do not use without the insert pan
specifically designed for this model.

16. Do not use appliance to melt wax or
any other nonfood use.

17. Do not allow flammable materials such
as curtains, draperies, walls, cabinets,

Other Consumer Safety Information

This roaster oven is not intended for
commercial, professional, or industrial­type usage. This roaster oven is designed
only for cooking food. It should not be
used for heating nonfood products such
as melting wax. This appliance is
designed, built, and intended for
household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance
has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that
reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug
fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by
modifying the plug in any way or by using
an adapter. If the plug does not fit, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, have an elec­trician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appli­ance was selected to reduce the hazards
of becoming tangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary,
an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating
of the appliance. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over.

Pan Sizes!

Following are pan sizes which will fit in
the roaster oven:

• One 9- x 13-inch (23 x 33 cm) baking or
10- x 14-inch (25 x 36 cm) roasting pan

• Two 9- x 5-inch (23 x 13 cm)
or 8- x 4-inch (20 x 10 cm) loaf pans

• One tube or bundt pan

Tips for Using Your Roaster Oven

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash the insert pan, rack, and lid before using. During the

first use of the roaster oven, some smoke and odor may be noticed. The smoke
and odor should not occur after this first heating of the oven.

• Before baking or roasting in the
roaster oven, make sure the pan
or dish you plan to use will fit by
placing it in the insert pan. Most
heat-resistant glass casserole
dishes fit in the roaster oven.

• The insert pan must always be used
when cooking in the roaster oven
(except when using buffet pans). If
cooking large quantities of soups or
stews, the insert pan may be used
as the cooking pan in the roaster
base. It may also be used as a large
roasting pan in the roaster base.

• Do not use the insert pan as a baking
pan or casserole dish for cakes,
breads, or casseroles. A separate
pan must be placed in the insert
pan when cooking these foods.

• Baking pans and casserole dishes
should be placed on the rack for best
heat circulation. If necessary, the rack
can be removed to fit a large roasting
pan or two casseroles in roaster oven.

• Foil oven roasting bags can be used
in the roaster oven. We do not rec­ommend using plastic oven roasting
bags in the roaster oven.

• Do not remove the lid of the roaster
oven unless necessary. Removing the
lid allows heat to escape and affects
the temperature of the roaster oven.

• Unless otherwise instructed, preheat
roaster oven for 15 minutes to the
temperature stated in recipes.

• If a recipe calls for the use of a bak­ing pan or dish, take the rack out of
the roaster oven. Preheat oven to
desired temperature. Then place pan
on the rack and then place both into
the roaster oven. Bake as instructed
in recipe. The rack makes it easier to
place or remove pans or dishes in the
hot roaster oven.

NOTE: To use the buffet pans (on
select models) for serving, all recipes
must be cooked in the roaster oven,
then placed in the buffet pans to keep
warm and serve.

Using Your Roaster Oven

1. Make sure temperature control is

turned to OFF. Plug cord into
120-volt AC outlet.

2. Remove rack. Leave insert pan in
roaster oven.

3. Set temperature control to desired
setting and let preheat 15 minutes
with lid on.

4. Place food to be cooked in a pan
on the rack (or directly in the insert
pan). Then place rack in oven and
replace the lid.

5. When finished cooking, remove lid.
Wearing oven mitts, remove food by
using the rack.

6. Turn temperature control to OFF
and unplug roaster oven.

NOTE:

The insert pan should always be
placed in the roaster base when cook­ing (except when using buffet pans).

Using Your Roaster Oven Buffet Lid

(optional feature on select models)

The buffet lid is designed to provide
easy access to food when basting or
serving.

1. Rotate the buffet lid knob clockwise
to unlock and lift up on the handle to
open.

2. Rotate the buffet lid knob counter­clockwise to lock the access door
on the lid.

NOTE: Always ensure the access door
is in the locked position on the lid
before lifting the entire lid. Locking the
access door will prevent it from open­ing against your hand or arm when
lifting the entire lid.

Burn Hazard. Escaping steam may cause burns. Use oven mitts
to protect hands when removing insert pan, rack, baking pan, or
cooked food.

Tips for Best Results

CAUTION: Please see the Roasting

Chart for cooking guidelines.
Visit www.foodsafety.org for more infor-

mation on safe internal cooking
temperatures.

• All buffet pans must be in place when
using the roaster oven buffet pans.

• Only use buffet pans to keep cooked
foods warm.

• Buffet pans must not be used on a
cooktop or in a microwave oven.
Buffet pans may be used in a
conventional oven.

• When filling buffet pans with foods
that may stick, spray the inside of the
buffet pans with nonstick cooking
spray.

• If food is too dry, add broth or juice to
help keep food moist while warming.

Burn Hazard. Escaping steam may cause burns. Use oven mitts
to protect hands when removing insert pan, rack, baking pan, or
cooked food. Buffet pans are hot. Handle carefully.

• We recommend the use of a meat ther­mometer to ensure perfectly cooked
roasts and poultry every time. If using a
meat thermometer, the meat or poultry
should be removed from the roaster
oven when the thermometer reading is
5 to 10 degrees below the desired tem­perature. The internal temperature will
continue to rise after the meat has been
removed from the roaster oven.

• The roaster oven cooks turkeys in less
time than conventional ovens. A 14- to
18-pound (6.3–8.2 kg) unstuffed turkey
will cook in approximately 21⁄2 hours.

A turkey cooked in the roaster oven is
moist and juicy, but does not brown.

• The Roasting Chart lists cooking times
for tender cuts of meat that are usually
dry-roasted. These roasts are from the
rib or sirloin area. To tenderize cuts
from the leg (ham) or shoulder/chuck
area, cook in liquid for a longer period
of time.

• Times indicated are approximate and
should be used only as a general
guideline. Individual cuts of meat and
personal preference may dictate longer
or shorter roasting times.

• Food must be hot enough to prevent
bacterial growth. Visit foodsafety.gov
for more information.

Roasting Meats and Poultry

NOTE: Large turkeys with very tall or deep chest cavities might have difficulty

fitting under the buffet lid.

Steaming

Preheat roaster oven to 450ºF (230ºC).
To steam in the roaster oven, you will
need a metal colander. Place rack in
the insert pan. Place insert pan in
roaster oven. Pour 1 quart (1 L) boiling

water into the insert pan. Place food to
be steamed in the colander and place
colander in insert pan. Cover and
steam according to the following
times or until desired doneness.

ITEM TO STEAM AMOUNT OF TIME

2 cauliflower heads, cut up 10 minutes
2 bunches of broccoli, cut up 10 minutes
2 pounds (907 g) shrimp 10 minutes

Baking

The roaster oven can bake your favorite
cakes, pies, breads, or casseroles like
a conventional oven. Pans and dishes
should be placed on the rack for best
heat circulation. Using the rack is also
recommended for convenience in
removing hot dishes and pans from
the roaster oven.

Do not remove the lid of the roaster
oven unless necessary. Removing
the lid allows heat to escape and
affects the temperature of the roaster
oven.

Warming Rolls and Biscuits

Preheat roaster oven to 250ºF (120ºC).
You will need two small ovenproof con­tainers to hold water. Emptied and
washed food cans are perfect. Fill the
cans two-thirds full with hot water and
place in opposite corners of the insert
pan.

Stack rolls, biscuits, or pancakes in
insert pan. Do not let them touch sides
of pan. Cover and keep warm up to
one hour.

Quantity Cooking

The insert pan may be used as a
large cooking utensil when cooking or
heating large quantities. It may be used
to simmer sauces, soups, or stews, or
simply to heat or warm large quantities.
When cooking or heating soups or
stews in the roaster oven, stir occasion­ally for quicker, even heating.

For example, set the temperature
control at 400°F (200ºC) and the roaster
oven will warm vegetable beef soup
from refrigerated temperature to serv­ing temperature in about two hours.
To cook soups, stews, or sauces, set
the temperature control on 225°F
(110ºC) and allow 4 to 8 hours to
simmer, depending on recipe.
