IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse roaster base,
cord, or plug in water or other liquid.

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

the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner.
Return appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination,
repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces, including the stove.

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

is hot and can cause burns.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts
inside. Do not attempt to service this product. Do not immerse base in
water or other liquid.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. AN EXTENSION CORD MAY
BE USED WITH CARE; HOWEVER, THE MARKED ELECTRICAL RATING
SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE
ROASTER OVEN. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over
the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this plug is intended to fit into 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. If
the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm
do not use that outlet.
NOTE: Some countertop and table surfaces, such as Corian®and other
surfaces, are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated
by certain appliances. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet
under your Rival®product to prevent possible damage to the surface.

PREPARING YOUR ROASTER OVEN FOR USE
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Wash the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN, ROASTING RACK, BUFFET
SERVER FRAME, SERVING DISHES 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.
TIPS FOR ROASTING
• Always use the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN in the roaster oven
when cooking.
NOTE: Never place food or liquid directly into the ROASTER OVEN BODY.
• 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.
• To use the LID REST feature, hold the LID upright by the HANDLE
and place the edge of the LID under the metal tabs just above either
side HANDLE.
• 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.
Lowering temperature and cooking longer will also give meat a
crisper, darker brown skin.
• To create a darker roasted, crispier skin poultry, do not add liquids (with
the exception of the basting butter or oil) until there are only 30
minutes left of cooking.
