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.

Other Consumer Safety Information

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.

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 non-food use.

17. Do not allow flammable materials such

as curtains, draperies, walls, cabinets,
backsplashes and the like to touch any
part of the roaster oven while it is in
operation.

18. Do not use appliance for other than

intended use.

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 non-food products such
as melting wax. This appliance is
designed, built, and intended for
household use only.

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.

wWARNING

Shock Hazard

• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electrical 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 using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have
an electrician replace the outlet.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THIS BOOK! THE ROASTER OVEN

COOKS SOME FOODS FASTER THAN A CONVENTIONAL OVEN.

Parts & Features

Tips for Using

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash the insert pan 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.

• The insert pan should 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 for cakes, breads, or casseroles.
A separate pan must be placed in the
insert pan when cooking these foods.

• 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.

• We do not recommend using 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

wCAUTION

• Escaping steam may cause burns.

• Use hot mitts to protect hands
when removing insert pan, rack,
baking pan or cooked food.

1. Make sure temperature control is

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

2. Place food to be cooked in a pan

(or directly in the insert pan) and
then place in the roaster oven and
replace the cover.

3. Set temperature control to desired

setting.

4. When finished cooking, remove

cover and then remove food.

5. Turn temperature control to OFF

and unplug roaster oven.

NOTES:

• The insert pan should always
be placed in the roaster base when
cooking.

• If your model has a nonstick insert
pan, do not preheat the roaster oven.
This will shorten the life of the non­stick coating.

• When preparing to roast, place the
meat or poultry in the insert pan.
Then place the insert pan in the
roaster oven and replace the cover.

• 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.

CUT TEMPERATURE MINUTES PER POUND
Beef roasts (4 lbs/1.8 kg) 325°F/160ºC 12 to 20
Pork roasts (3 lbs/1.35 kg) 325°F/160ºC 20 to 30
Smoked ham

Cook before eating 325°F/160ºC 15 to 30
Fully cooked 325°F/160ºC 12 to 25

Meat Roasting Chart

• 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.

• Roasting 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.

Final Meat Thermometer Readings

Cook to desired doneness by measuring the internal temperature of the meat with
a meat thermometer.

MEAT RARE MEDIUM WELL DONE
Beef 140°F/60ºC 160°F/70ºC 170°F/77ºC
Pork * 160°F/70ºC 170°F/77ºC
Lamb 140°F/60ºC 160°F/70ºC 170°F/77ºC
Smoked ham

Cook before eating 160°F/70ºC
Fully cooked 140°F/60ºC

Poultry

Roasting chicken 180°F/82ºC
Turkey 180°F/82ºC

Quantity Cooking

• The insert pan may be used as a
large cooking utensil when cooking
or heating large quantities, about
5 quarts (5 L). It may be used to
simmer sauces, soups, or stews,
or simply to heat or warm large
quantities.

• For example, set the temperature
control at 250°F (120ºC) and the
roaster oven will warm soup or
spaghetti sauce from refrigerated
temperature to serving temperature in
about one hour.

Cleaning

wWARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

• Disconnect power before cleaning.

• Do not immerse cord, plug or base
in any liquid.

Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or electrical shock.

1. Turn temperature control to OFF.
