USING YOUR ROASTER OVEN
1. Plug into a 120V ~ 60Hz outlet. Place liner into base and place lid on
roaster oven.
2. Turn 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.
7. Allow to cool completely before cleaning, see CLEANING YOUR
ROASTER OVEN.
