1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Wash the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN, ROASTING RACK and
LID in hot, soapy water using a sponge or wash cloth. Rinse
thoroughly.
3. The outside of the ROASTER OVEN BODY may be cleaned with a
soft cloth and warm soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive
cleaners. Do not immerse the ROASTER OVEN BODY in water.
NOTE: Due to manufacturing process, some smoke and odor may
be noticed during the first use. This should disappear after the first
heating of the roaster oven.
IMPORTANT POINTS
• Always use the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN in the roaster
oven when cooking.
NOTE: Never place food or liquid directly into the ROASTER
OVEN BODY.
• Avoid the steam vents when removing or lifting the LID.
• Significant amounts of heat escape whenever the LID is
removed; therefore the cooking time must be extended. Avoid
frequent removal of the LID for checking cooking progress or
stirring.
• To use the LID REST feature, hold the LID upright by the
HANDLE and place the edge of the LID under the metal tabs
just above either side HANDLE.
• Convenience foods can be baked in the roaster oven. Place
container on ROASTING RACK. Follow package directions.
