Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and accessories. Inspect the roaster oven for any damage.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the removable roasting pan, lid, and roasting rack in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the exterior of the roaster oven with a damp cloth.
3. Placement: Place the roaster oven on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from walls and other appliances to ensure proper ventilation. Ensure the power cord is not obstructed.

Operating Instructions

1. Temperature Control: Use the control knob to select the desired temperature from 150°F to 450°F. The red indicator light will illuminate when the roaster is heating.
2. Keep Warm Setting: After cooking, turn the knob to the "KEEP WARM" setting to maintain food temperature without further cooking.
3. Defrost Function: For thawing frozen items like turkey, select the "DEFROST" setting. This function significantly reduces thawing time.
4. Cooking:
   • Place the roasting rack inside the removable pan.
   • Position your food (e.g., turkey, roast) on the rack.
   • Place the removable pan into the roaster oven base.
   • Cover with the self-basting lid. The lid's design ensures even moisture distribution, eliminating the need for manual basting.
   • Monitor cooking progress as needed.
5. Lid Locking Slot: The lid features a locking slot for convenient resting during serving or when checking food, preventing condensation from dripping onto your counter.

Maintenance and Cleaning

1. Before Cleaning: Always unplug the roaster oven and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Removable Pan and Rack: The removable roasting pan and rack are dishwasher safe or can be washed by hand in warm, soapy water. For stubborn food residue, soak the pan before cleaning.
3. Lid: Wash the lid with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
4. Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the roaster oven base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water or any other liquid.
5. Liner Use: When using a clear liner, ensure temperatures are below 350°F and add water to prevent the liner from sticking to the pan.

Troubleshooting

• Roaster Not Heating:
  • Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Ensure the temperature control knob is set to a temperature above "OFF" or "KEEP WARM".
  • Verify that the outlet is receiving power (test with another appliance).
• Uneven Cooking:
  • Ensure the roaster oven is placed on a level surface.
  • Avoid overcrowding the roaster, which can hinder heat circulation.
  • The self-basting lid is designed for even cooking, but for very large items, occasional rotation might be beneficial.
• Food Sticking:
  • Always use the roasting rack to elevate food and prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Ensure sufficient liquid (broth, water) is present in the pan, especially for longer cooking times.
  • Consider using cooking spray or oil on the rack and pan if desired.
• Strong Odor During First Use:
  • It is normal for a new appliance to emit a slight odor during its first few uses. This should dissipate quickly. Ensure adequate ventilation.
