SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of

personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware stores and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is required, special care and caution is necessary. Also the cord must be: (1) marked with an electrical rating of 125 V and at least 10 A, 1250 W., and (2) the cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

ELECTRIC POWER: If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

USING YOUR ROASTER OVEN

1. Plug into a 120V ~ 60Hz outlet. Place liner into base and place lid on roaster oven.

2. T urn control knob to the Steam setting and allow to preheat for 20 minutes.

CAUTION: THE ROASTER WILL BECOME HOT WITH USE AND PRODUCE STEAM. CAUTION SHOULD BE USED TO AVOID COVERING STEAM VENT HOLES OR COMING IN CONTACT WITH HOT STEAM FROM STEAM VENT HOLES. NEVER PLACE FOOD OR WATER IN THE BASE.

CAUTION: BASE, LINER, HANDLES AND LID WILL GET VERY WARM DURING USE. IF NECESSARY TO HANDLE, USE POT HOLDERS OR OVEN MITTS.

3. Prepare recipe according to instructions and carefully add to the preheated liner using hot pads. Place lid on roaster oven. Do not fill the liner to the brim with food. Leave at least one inch between top of food and the brim of liner. Always cook with the liner in position and lid on the liner. Remember that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking delays total cooking time. Use the rack with handles for baking. Use the liner without the rack for soups, stews, and slow cooked meat. Follow recipes as a guide.

4. Turn the control knob to the desired temperature.

5. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the lid by grasping the handle and lifting the lid away from you so that the steam will escape and moisture will drip back into food before removing the lid completely . The lid may be placed on the lid rest support for temporary holding during serving or stirring.

6. Use the cooking time given in the charts below as a preliminary guide. Check food for desired doneness. When cooking time is complete, turn control knob to minimum position and unplug from outlet.
