BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
1. Read all instructions in this manual carefully. The information
included in this book will help you to use your Toastmaster 18-Quart
Roaster Oven to its fullest.
2. Carefully unpack the Roaster Oven and remove all packaging
materials.
3. Place your oven on a level surface such as a countertop or table. Be
sure the sides, back, and top of the oven are at least four inches
away from any walls, cabinets, or objects on the counter or table.
4. Remove all stickers from the oven except the rating label located on
the bottom.
5. Wipe the exterior surfaces with a clean, damp cloth or sponge, then
dry with another cloth. This will remove any dust that may have
settled during packaging.
6. Remove the ROASTING PAN, COVER, and RACKS and wash in hot
sudsy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
7. Place the Roaster Oven in a well ventilated area.
8. Plug the cord into a 120-volt AC outlet. Set the TEMPERATURE
CONTROL to 450° to eliminate any protective substance or oil that
may have been used for packing and shipping. Operate the Roaster
Oven empty for about 60 minutes until odor and smoke disappear.
Turn the TEMPERATURE CONTROL to OFF. Unplug the unit and allow
to cool.
9. This is a high-power appliance and should be the only appliance
operating on the circuit.
10. To avoid scratching, marring, discoloration, or fire hazard, do not
store anything on top of the oven, especially during operation.
