2. Important Safety Instructions

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

• Read all instructions before operating the appliance.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plugs, or heating unit 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. Contact customer service for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a 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.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• The roaster oven features Cool-Touch handles on the lid and body. However, the exterior surfaces can still become hot during operation. Exercise caution and keep children away from the appliance while it is in use.

5. Operating Instructions - Roaster Oven

The 20-quart roaster oven is designed for roasting, baking, and slow cooking large items, such as turkeys up to 22 pounds.

Using the Roaster Oven:

1. Ensure the roasting pan and rack are properly assembled inside the base unit.
2. Place food directly on the roasting rack or in a separate oven-safe dish on the rack. The liftable rack facilitates easy insertion and removal of large items without damaging the food's surface.
3. Cover the roaster with the self-basting lid.
4. Plug the appliance into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
5. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired temperature setting (from 150°F to 450°F) or to the "KEEP WARM" setting. The power indicator light will illuminate.
6. The 1450W heating element ensures efficient and even heat distribution.
7. The self-basting lid is designed to continuously circulate moisture, helping to keep food moist and flavorful, reducing the need for manual basting.
8. Monitor cooking progress as needed. Use oven mitts when handling the lid or hot components.
9. Once cooking is complete, turn the temperature control dial to "OFF" and unplug the appliance.

Caution: The exterior surfaces of the roaster oven, including the lid and body, will become hot during operation. Always use oven mitts and the Cool-Touch handles when moving or opening the appliance.

6. Operating Instructions - Double Slow Cooker

The double slow cooker allows for simultaneous preparation of two different dishes at varying heat settings.

Using the Double Slow Cooker:

1. Ensure the ceramic pots are properly seated in their compartments.
2. Add ingredients to the ceramic pots. Do not overfill; leave at least one inch from the rim.
3. Place the tempered glass lids on top of the ceramic pots.
4. Plug the appliance into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
5. Each crock has its own independent control dial. Turn the individual control dials to the desired setting: "WARM", "LOW", or "HIGH".
6. The "WARM" setting is ideal for keeping cooked food at serving temperature. The "LOW" setting is for longer cooking times, and "HIGH" is for shorter cooking times.
7. Cook food according to your recipe. Avoid lifting the lid frequently, as this releases heat and extends cooking time.
8. Once cooking is complete, turn the control dials to "OFF" and unplug the appliance.
