4.1 General Operation

  1. Prepare Food: Place your food item, such as a turkey or roast, on the removable roasting rack inside the removable pan.
  2. Secure Lid: Place the self-basting lid securely on the roaster oven. The lid's design helps to lock in moisture and flavor.
  3. Set Temperature: Plug the power cord into a grounded 120V AC outlet. Turn the temperature control knob to your desired setting (150°F to 450°F). The red indicator light will illuminate, indicating the unit is heating.
  4. Cooking: Allow the roaster oven to preheat for approximately 15-20 minutes before placing food inside, unless otherwise specified by your recipe. The indicator light will cycle on and off as the roaster maintains the set temperature.
  5. Monitoring: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your food for doneness. Avoid frequently lifting the lid, as this can cause significant heat loss and extend cooking times.
  6. Keep Warm Function: Once cooking is complete, you can turn the knob to the 'KEEP WARM' setting (150°F) to maintain food at a serving temperature without overcooking.
  7. Defrost Function: The 'DEFROST' setting (275°F) can be used for thawing frozen items before cooking.
  8. Power Off: When finished, turn the temperature control knob to 'OFF' and unplug the appliance from the wall outlet. Allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning.

4.2 Self-Basting Lid Feature

The unique design of the self-basting lid continually recirculates moisture within the roaster. Condensation collects on the lid's interior and drips back onto the food, eliminating the need for manual basting and ensuring a moist, flavorful result.
