A HEAT RESISTANT SURFACE. Set the control dial to its minimum setting. Connect the cord to the Roaster Oven and plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet. Return control to maximum setting (425ºF).

Operate the Roaster Oven empty for approximately 60 minutes, or until any odor or smoking disappear. Some smoke and odor are a normal part of “curing” the element and will not reoccur in cooking use. When curing is completed, turn the temperature control to its lowest setting, unplug the unit from the electrical outlet and allow to cool.

2.Wash the Cover, Cookwell and Rack in warm sudsy water, then rinse and dry. Refer to complete cleaning instructions on next page.

NON-STICK COOKWELL: When curing your Roaster Oven with a non-stick Cookwell, we recommend that it be operated WITHOUT THE COVER AND COOKWELL. Do this in a covered outside area or other well-ventilated area. After curing and cleaning, and before cooking in your non-stick Cookwell for the first time, lightly coat the interior of the Cookwell with vegetable oil.

To Operate Your Roaster Oven

1.Place the Cookwell into the Heatwell. Always use the Cookwell for food. NEVER PLACE FOOD DIRECTLY IN THE HEATWELL.

2.Preheating is recommended. To preheat, place the Cookwell into the Heatwell and cover. Set the control dial to its minimum setting. Connect the cord to the Roaster Oven and plug into a 120 volt AC outlet. Reset the temperature control to desired temperature. Preheat 20 minutes. Carefully, using hot pads, add food to the Cookwell.

3.The Rack may be used for baking or fat-free roasting. Other foods, such as soups and stews, are prepared without the Rack.

4.Replace the Cover. Always cook with the Cover in place.
