IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR

ROASTER OVENS

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.

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

6. Do not operate roaster oven with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Rival’s Consumer Service Department (see warranty) to return for examination, repair or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Rival 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.

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

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

12. CAUTION: Steam escaping from under cover or food warming pans is hot and can cause burns.

13. Do not use appliance for other than its intended use.

14. Use oven mitts to remove the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN from the roaster oven; or to remove a baking pan or cooked food from the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN.

15. To disconnect, turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL to OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.

16. Some countertop surfaces such as Corian®and other surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. We recommend placing a hot plate or trivet under your Rival

product to prevent possible damage to the surface.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• These appliances are for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

• No user-serviceable parts inside. Do NOT attempt to repair or adjust

any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void the Warranty.

• 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

These appliances have polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, these plugs are 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 plugs in any way. If the plugs fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

PREPARING YOUR ROASTER OVEN FOR USE

1. Carefully unpack the Roaster Oven and remove all packaging materials.

2. Wash the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN, REMOVABLE ROASTING RACK, REMOVABLE SERVING DISHES (select models only), REMOVABLE SERVING DISH FRAME (select models only), and LID in hot, soapy water using a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly. Wipe dry.

3. Clean the outside of the ROASTER OVEN BODY with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

NOTE: Due to the 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.

• Use caution when removing or lifting the LID as steam is vented along the seam on the top of the LID.

• Significant amounts of heat escape whenever the LID is removed. Instead of removing the LID to check on your food, grasp LID HANDLE and lift just enough to check on or taste the food.

Exercise caution when using this feature, as steam may escape.

• 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.
