PARTS
1. Cover
Heavy-gauge stainless steel cover is designed to control heat and
moisture efciently. Two venting holes are provided to allow just
the right amount of moisture to escape during cooking. During
the cooking process, steam will accumulate inside the roaster
oven body. Always stand to the side when removing the cover
and always tilt the cover away to divert escaping steam.
2. Wire Roasting Rack
Chrome plated steel provides cooking exibility. The rack ts into
the roaster oven body and has convenient lift-out handles.
3. Removable Roasting Pan
The porcelain enamel roasting pan has a full 18-quart capacity.
It is removable for easy cleanup in the dishwasher or sink, or for
food storage in the refrigerator.
4. Roaster Oven Body
The sides of the 18-quart roaster oven contain the heating
elements for even, moist cooking, plus the added advantages
of thick insulation and a full-range automatic oven temperature
control. NEVER PLACE FOOD OR WATER DIRECTLY IN THE
ROASTER OVEN BODY.
5. Automatic Temperature Control

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Unpack your Waring Pro® Roaster Oven completely. Remove the
cover, wire roasting rack, removable roasting pan and roaster
oven body from Styrofoam® inserts. Remove all packing and
printed materials.
2. Place the roaster oven in a well-ventilated area or on a heatresistant surface. Set the temperature control dial to the off
setting. Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet and set the
control dial to its maximum setting of 450ºF. Operate the roaster
with oven empty (without roasting pan and cover) for about 60
minutes, or until any odor or smoke disappears. Some smoke
and odor is a normal part of “curing” the heating element and will
not occur after curing is done. When curing is completed, turn the
temperature control to the off setting, unplug the unit and
allow to cool.
3. Wash the cover, roasting pan and rack in warm, sudsy water.
Rinse and dry. See Care and Cleaning section (next page) for
complete cleaning instructions.
OPERATION
1. Place the roasting pan in the roaster body. Always use the
roaster pan for food. NEVER PLACE FOOD OR WATER
DIRECTLY IN THE ROASTER OVEN BODY.
2. Preheating is recommended. To preheat, place the roaster pan
in the roaster body and cover. Do not preheat unit with wire rack inside oven. Be sure the temperature control is in the off
position. Plug the roaster oven cord into a 120 volt AC outlet.
Set the temperature control to desired temperature. Preheat for
20 minutes. Insert wire rack when ready to cook. Carefully, using
hot pads, add food to the roaster pan.
3. The rack may be used for baking or fat-free roasting. Other foods,
such as meats, soups and stews, can be prepared without using
the wire rack.
4. Replace the cover. Always cook with the cover in place.
5. Cook the food for the desired amount of time. When nished, turn
the temperature control to the off position and unplug the cord
from the 120 volt AC outlet. During the cooking process, steam
will accumulate inside the roaster oven body. Always stand to
the side when removing the cover and always tilt the cover away
to divert escaping steam. Note: Please use oven mitts when
removing the cover after or during the cooking process in order
to avoid contact with any escaping steam. Allow the roaster oven
to cool, and clean as recommended.

6. A turkey cooked in the roaster oven is moist and juicy, but does
not brown like a turkey roasted in a conventional oven. If you
would like browned skin, we recommend using a browning sauce.
See recipe section.
NOTE: ROASTING PAN, ROASTER OVEN BODY,
COVER AND ACCUMULATED STEAM WILL BE
HOT. USE CAUTION AND HOT PADS TO LIFT
COVER AND TO REMOVE ROASTING PAN FROM
ROASTER OVEN BODY.
CARE AND CLEANING
1. After the roaster oven has cooled, remove cover, rack (if used)
and roasting pan. Wash rack and roasting pan in warm sudsy
water or wash in the dishwasher. The enamel roaster pan has a
strong nish and provides easy cleaning and years of use. It will
not stain and stays attractive even when used often. However, it
will chip if subjected to sharp blows or is mistreated. Water spots
or mineral deposits (characterized by a white lm on surface) may
be removed with household vinegar or nonabrasive cleansers.
2. The nonstick roasting pan is made of durable porcelain enamel.
In order to maintain the porcelain enamel surface, the use of
rubber, plastic or wooden utensils is recommended. Avoid cutting
food in the roasting pan. Use of a nonstick spray on the interior
surfaces is optional. Avoid storing items in the roaster pan which
may scratch the surface. When roasting or baking at high
temperature, you may note an irregular band of discoloration
around the sides of the roasting pan. This discoloration is
characteristic of the tough porcelain coating used on the interior
of the roasting pan and in no way affects the performance or
durability of the nish.
3. Baked-on food may be removed by using a nonabrasive
cleaning pad and a nonabrasive cleanser, such as Soft Scrub®
or Bon Ami®. Do not use abrasive cleansers or steel wool as they
may scratch the nish. HINT: To remove baked-on food residue
easily, place roasting pan in roaster oven body, then ll roasting
pan with hot water. Cover and heat at 350ºF for 30 minutes.
Turn off and allow to cool completely. Wash roasting pan as
directed above.
4. Never immerse the roaster oven body in water. To clean, wipe
outside of roaster oven body with a damp cloth and dry. Do not
use abrasive cleansers or steel wool on exterior surface.

Roasting/Baking Hints
• Always preheat roaster prior to baking.
• Use the wire baking rack to place casserole dishes and baking
pans on during cooking time. This will allow for more even baking.
• Two loaf pans will t into the roasting pan. A meat and a
vegetable may be baked at the same time.
• Line the baking rack with aluminum foil and use as a baking
sheet.
• Most 1- and 2-quart casserole dishes, 9-inch pie plates, and most
9 x 13-inch baking pans will t into the roaster pan. Place dish on
baking rack for more even baking.
• Three 1½-quart pans t into the roaster pan – ideal for preparing
meat, vegetables and potatoes at the same time. When baking
bread, either one or two loaf pans are recommended.
• Convenience foods can be baked in the roaster oven. Follow
package directions.
• Baking pans should always be placed on the rack. Do not place
pans on the bottom of the roaster pan.
• Metal pans are recommended for use in the roaster as they
provide better heat transfer and browning.
Steaming
• No fat is used when steaming, so it’s an easy way to cook tasty
and nutritious low calorie foods.
Slow Cooking
• To convert a standard recipe to slow cooking, slow cook
about 1½ hours at 200º F to 250º F for each 30 minutes required
in a standard recipe. Note that when slow cooking, it is not
necessary to use the rack. The low temperature prevents the
meat from sticking to the bottom of the roasting pan. Cover
before cooking.
