Sunvivi 26-Quart Electric Roaster Oven

1. Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the roaster oven.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the main body of the roaster oven in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to 'off', then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Caution: Hot Surface. The exterior surfaces of the roaster oven will become hot during operation. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling.
• Do not scrub the removable pan with a steel wool ball as this can damage the coating. Always dry the pan thoroughly after cleaning.

3. Before First Use

Before using your new Sunvivi Electric Roaster Oven for the first time, please follow these steps:

1. Remove all packaging materials, labels, and tags from the roaster oven.
2. Wash the removable roasting pan, roasting rack, and lid in hot, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Wipe the exterior of the roaster oven body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the roaster oven body in water.
4. It is recommended to operate the roaster oven empty for approximately 30 minutes at 350°F (175°C) before first use to burn off any manufacturing oils. This may produce a slight odor and smoke, which is normal. Ensure adequate ventilation during this process.

1. Place the roaster oven body on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
2. Insert the clean removable roasting pan into the roaster oven body.
3. Place the roasting rack inside the removable roasting pan.
4. Position the lid securely on top of the roasting pan and roaster body.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Sunvivi Electric Roaster Oven, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Appliance does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check your household circuit breaker or fuse box.
• Food is not cooking evenly: Ensure the lid is properly seated on the roaster. Avoid frequently lifting the lid during cooking, as this can cause heat loss.
• Food is cooking too slowly: Verify that the temperature control knob is set to the correct temperature for your recipe. Allow sufficient preheating time.
• Odor or smoke during initial use: This is normal for the first use as manufacturing oils burn off. Ensure adequate ventilation. If odors or smoke persist after initial use, discontinue use and contact customer support.
