Nesco Convection Roaster Oven - Manual (Page 8)

1. After the NESCO Roaster Oven has cooled, remove the Fan, then the
Fan/Motor from the Cover. Wash Cover, Fan, Rack and Cookwell in
warm sudsy water or dishwasher. CAUTION: DO NOT PLACE
COVER IN DISHWASHER. Note: Motor cannot be removed from
Cover while fan is in position.
2. PORCELAIN ENAMEL COOKWELL has a strong and durable finish and
provides easy cleaning along with 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. If interior cooking surface is chipped, the cookwell
should not be used. Water spots or mineral deposits (characterized by white
film on surface) may be removed with household vinegar or non-abrasive
cleansers.
3. NON-STICK COOKWELL is made of durable carbon steel. In order to
maintain the non-stick surface, the use of rubber or wood utensils is
recommended.
The non-stick surface is durable and metal utensils may be
used; however, care must be taken in order to prevent unintentional damage
to the non-stick surface. Avoid cutting food in the Cookwell. Use of non-
stick cooking spray is optional. Avoid storing items in the Cookwell that
may scratch the surface. When roasting or baking at high temperatures you
may notice an irregular band of discoloration around the sidewalls of the
Cookwell. This characteristic is normal for the super tough non-stick finish
and does not affect the performance or durability of the Cookwell. With
continued use, the discoloration will become less noticeable.
4. Cooked-on foods may be removed from the cookwell by using a non-
abrasive cleaning pad and a non-abrasive cleanser, such as Soft Scrub ® or
Bon Ami ®. Do not use abrasive cleansers or steel wool as these may
scratch the finish. Hint: To easily remove baked on food residue, place
Cookwell in Heatwell with soapy water and heat at a low temperature for
30 minutes. Turn off and allow cooling completely. Wash Cookwell as
directed above.
5. NEVER IMMERSE THE ROASTER OVEN IN WATER. To clean,
wipe the outside of the Roaster Oven with a damp cloth and dry. Do not
use abrasive cleansers on the exterior surface.
Place the Cookwell into the Heatwell. Always use the cookwell for food.
NEVER PLACE FOOD OR LIQUID DIRECTLY INTO THE
HEATWELL. ALWAYS TURN OFF THE FAN BEFORE LIFTING
COVER.
1. Preheating is recommended. To preheat, place the Cookwell into the
Heatwell and cover. Be sure the temperature control is turned to the lowest
setting. Plug the cord into the 120-volt AC outlet. Reset the temperature
control to desired temperature. Preheat 20 minutes. Carefully, using hot
pads, add food to the Cookwell.
2. The Rack may be used for baking or fat-free roasting. Other foods such as
meats, soups and stews are prepared without the Rack.
3. For convection cooking, assemble the Fan/Motor to the Cover as
instructed. Replace the Cover. Always cook with the Cover in place. When
lifting Cover, tilt it away or lift from the side, to avoid escaping steam
and switch off fan before lifting cover.
4. When removing the Cover, unplug the Fan/Motor from the Heatwell/Body,
and set it on a heat resistant surface.
5. If the Roaster Oven has not been preheated, turn the temperature control to
the lowest setting and plug the Roaster Oven cord into a 120-volt AC
electrical outlet. Set the temperature control to the desired temperature, and
fill the Cookwell with food.
6. Cook the food for the desired amount of time. When finished, turn the
temperature control to the lowest setting and unplug the cord from the 120-
volt AC electrical outlet. Allow the Roaster Oven to cool, clean as
recommended.
NOTE: COOKWELL, COVER, BODY AND ACCUMULATED
STEAM WILL BE HOT DURING USE. USE CAUTION AND HOT
PADS WHEN LIFTING COVER OR TO REMOVE COOKWELL
FROM HEATWELL.
