Using Your Roaster Oven

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash the insert pan, rack, and cover before using. During the first use of the roaster oven, some smoke and odor may be noticed. The smoke and odor should not occur after this first heating of the oven.

Tips About Your Roaster Oven

•The insert pan must always be used when cooking in the roaster oven. If cooking large quantities of soups or stews, the insert pan may be used as the cooking pan in the roaster base. It may also be used as a large roasting pan in the roaster base.

•Do not use the insert pan as a baking pan or casserole dish for cakes, breads, or casseroles. A separate pan must be placed in the insert pan when cooking these foods.

•Most heat-resistant glass casserole dishes fit in the roasting oven. Place in insert pan before filling dish to make sure it fits.

•Baking pans and casserole dishes should be placed on the rack for best heat circulation. If necessary, the rack can be removed to fit a large roasting pan or two casseroles in the roaster oven.

•Before baking or roasting in the roaster oven, make sure the pan or dish you plan to use will fit by placing it in the insert pan.

•Foil oven roasting bags can be used in the roaster oven. We do not recommend using plastic oven roasting bags in the roaster oven.

•Do not remove the cover of the roaster oven unless necessary. Removing the cover allows heat to escape and affects the temperature of the roaster oven.

•The indicator light will cycle on and off when the oven is heating to maintain set temperature.

Pan Sizes!

Following are pan sizes which will fit in the roaster oven:

• One 9 x 13-inch baking or 10 x 14-inch roasting pan
