GE Roaster Oven

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse Roaster Oven Body, cord or plug in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
6. Do not operate Roaster Oven with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other liquids.
12. CAUTION: Steam escaping from under Lid or Removable Cooking Pan is hot and can cause burns.
13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
14. Use oven mitts to remove the Cooking Pan from the Roaster Oven, or to remove a baking pan or cooked food from the Cooking Pan.
15. To disconnect, turn Temperature Control to OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.
16. Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your product to prevent possible damage to the surface.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the roaster oven. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

POLARIZED PLUG

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. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

KNOW YOUR ROASTER OVEN

Parts and Features

The GE Roaster Oven consists of the following parts:

• 1. Lid with Steam Vents: The lid covers the cooking pan and features vents to allow steam to escape.
• 2. Removable Roasting Rack: A rack placed inside the cooking pan to elevate food for even cooking and roasting.
• 3. Removable Cooking Pan: The main vessel where food is placed for cooking. It is removable for easy cleaning.
• 4. Lid Rest: Tabs located on the sides of the Roaster Oven Body that can hold the lid upright.
• 5. Roaster Oven Body: The main housing of the appliance that contains the heating elements.
• 6. Indicator Light: A light that indicates when the oven is on or has reached the set temperature.
• 7. Temperature Control: A dial used to select the desired cooking temperature, typically ranging from 150°F to 450°F.

PREPARING YOUR ROASTER OVEN FOR USE

1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Wash the Cooking 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 the 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 Cooking Pan in the Roaster Oven when cooking. NOTE: Never place food or liquid directly into the Roaster Oven Body.
• Caution should be used when removing the Lid so that the steam escapes away from you.
• 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 tabs just above either Side Handle.
• Convenience foods can be baked in the Roaster Oven. Place container on Roasting Rack. Follow package directions.
• Meats roasted in your Roaster Oven will be moist and tender. For additional browning, brush oil or butter over the meat before cooking.
• To create a darker roasted, crispier skin on poultry, do not add liquids (with the exception of the basting butter or oil) until there are only 30 minutes left of cooking.

NOTE: The roaster pan has a capacity of 17 quarts.

HOW TO USE YOUR ROASTER OVEN

2. Make sure that the Temperature Control is in the OFF position, then plug Cord into a 120 volt AC outlet.
3. Turn the Roaster on by turning the Temperature Control to the desired temperature.
4. Preheat for 15 to 20 minutes. (Indicator Light will shut off when temperature is reached.)
5. Place Roasting Rack into the Cooking Pan, put food on the Rack, and place the Lid on the Roaster Oven. NOTE: Some foods or recipes do not require the Roasting Rack to be used.
6. When finished, turn the Temperature Control to the OFF position and unplug Roaster Oven from outlet.
7. Remove Lid and using oven mitts, remove the Roasting Rack with food and serve.

COOKING GUIDE

DETERMINING MEAT DONENESS

It is recommended that you use a meat thermometer to determine doneness when cooking meat and poultry. Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion of the meat. Cook until temperature for desired doneness is reached.

*Rare pork, ham or poultry is not recommended.

ROASTING MEATS AND POULTRY

Tender cuts of meat are best suited for roasting. The time guide below is for use with tender cuts such as from the sirloin area. Less tender cuts of meat should be slow cooked in liquid. Times indicated below are approximate and should be used as a guideline only.

COOKING GUIDE (CONT'D)

Slow Cooking

Slow cooking is best for less tender cuts of meat. Heat is gradual with slow cooking. It is not necessary to stir when slow cooking. Avoid removing the cover during slow cooking. Heat escapes during slow cooking and you may need to increase the cooking time. When using a standard recipe, slow cook 1½ hours for every 30 minutes. Slow cook using the 250°F setting.

Baking*

• Baking pans should always be placed on the Roasting Rack. Do not place pans on bottom of Cooking Pan.
• Metal pans are recommended for use in the roaster as they provide better heat transfer and browning.

CAUTION: Use hot pads or mitts when removing food from oven. Rack will be hot, allow to cool or remove with hot pads/mitts.

* Always preheat roaster prior to baking (Maximum 15 minutes)
