NOTE: When removing the Domed Lid from the roaster during

or after cooking, use care to avoid contact with escaping steam.

Vents are located in the top of the Domed Lid. They are designed to allow moisture and steam to escape during cooking. These vents should never be blocked.

Lid Rests are located on each of the side handles of the oven body and provide a convenient storage location for the Domed lid when foods are being added to the roaster.

Roasting Liner has an 18-quart capacity and is removable for easy cleaning in the dishwasher or the sink. Food can be left in the roasting liner with the Domed Lid and refrigerated for storage. Always insert the Roasting Liner before turning the Roaster on.

Oven Body holds the roasting liner for cooking. It has double-wall construction with wrap-around heating elements for even cooking and insulation to hold in heat and keep kitchen cool.

NOTE: NEVER place food directly inside the oven body without using the roasting liner.

Temperature Control has adjustable temperatures from 150° to 450°. The thermostat will automatically cycle on and off to maintain the selected setting inside the Roaster Oven.

Ready Light goes out when the oven has reached the selected temperature. As the thermostat cycles on and off to maintain the selected temperature, the light will go on and off.

Baking Chart is printed directly on the oven body as a quick reference for baking a variety of foods. More detailed information on baking is provided in this manual.

Roasting Rack With Handles — chrome-plated wire rack fits into roasting liner for most cooking purposes. Handles are convenient for removing large items from the roasting liner and fold down for compact storage.
