Roaster Oven Safety
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
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, electrical
repair, mechanical 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”
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.

Consumer Safety Information
PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!
THE ROASTER OVEN COOKS
SOME FOODS FASTER THAN A
CONVENTIONAL OVEN.
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 melting wax. This appliance
is designed, built, and intended for
household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
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 roaster oven. 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 baking or
10 x 14-inch roasting pan
• Two 9 x 5-inch or 8 x 4-inch loaf pans
• One tube or bundt pan
Using Your Roaster Oven
BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash the insert pan, rack, and cover 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.
Notes About Your Roaster Oven
• The insert pan must always be used
when cooking in the roaster oven. 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.
• Most heat-resistant glass casserole
dishes fit in the roasting oven. Place
in insert pan before filling dish to
make sure it fits.
• 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
the roaster 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.
• 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 cover of the
roaster oven unless necessary.
Removing the cover allows heat to
escape and affects the temperature
of the roaster oven.
• The indicator light will cycle on and
off when the oven is heating to
maintain set temperature.

How to Use
Notes!
• The insert pan should always be placed
in the roaster base when cooking.
• If the recipe calls for a preheated oven,
set the temperature control to desired
temperature. The red indicator light
will go out when the oven has reached
the set temperature.
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.
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 cover.
5. When finished cooking, remove
cover. Wearing oven mitts, remove
food by using the rack.
6. Turn temperature control to OFF
and unplug roaster oven.
• We recommend the use of a meat
thermometer to assure 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.
• Most hams sold today are labeled
as “Cook Before Eating” or “Fully
Cooked.” Ham labeled “Cook Before
Eating” has been smoked or cured
but NOT cooked. This ham must be
thoroughly cooked to an internal temperature of 155 to 160°F. The “Fully
Cooked” hams have been smoked or
cured and already cooked. The ham
does not require further cooking, but
heating to 140°F improves the flavor.
• The roaster oven cooks turkeys in less
time than conventional ovens. A 14 to
18 pound unstuffed turkey will cook in
approximately 21⁄2 hours. A turkey
cooked in the roaster oven is moist
and juicy, but does not brown. If you
want a turkey with browned skin,
please use the Turkey Browning
Sauce in the “Recipe” section.
• 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.
