PREPARING YOUR SMOKER/
ROASTER FOR USE
1Carefully unpack your Smoker Roaster and remove all packaging materials. Be sure to remove parts from all sides of packing.
2Wash all parts according to the “Cleaning” section of this manual.
3Read this manual and all other included documentation before you use your Smoker Roaster.
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 Smoker Roaster.
Where to Use
Place your Smoker Roaster outside on a hard, level surface away from roof overhang or any flammable materials. You may want to locate the Smoker Roaster away from any open windows or doors to prevent smoke from entering your house. In windy weather, the Smoker Roaster should be located in an area protected from the wind.
IMPORTANT POINTS
•Always use the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN in the roaster oven when cooking.
NOTE: Never place food or liquid directly into the ROASTER OVEN BODY.
•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 metal 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 poultry, do not add liquids (with the exception of the basting butter or oil) until there are only 30 minutes left of cooking.
