CARE AND CLEANING

1.After the NESCO Roaster Oven has cooled, remove the Fan, then the Fan/Motor from the Cover. Wash Cover, Fan, Rack and Cookwell in warm sudsy water or dishwasher. CAUTION: DO NOT PLACE COVER IN DISHWASHER. Note: Motor cannot be removed from Cover while fan is in position.

2.PORCELAIN ENAMEL COOKWELL has a strong and durable finish and provides easy cleaning along with years of use. It will not stain and stays attractive, even when used often. However, it will chip if subjected to sharp blows or is mistreated. If interior cooking surface is chipped, the cookwell should not be used. Water spots or mineral deposits (characterized by white film on surface) may be removed with household vinegar or non-abrasive cleansers.

3.NON-STICK COOKWELL is made of durable carbon steel. In order to maintain the non-stick surface, the use of rubber or wood utensils is recommended. The non-stick surface is durable and metal utensils may be used; however, care must be taken in order to prevent unintentional damage to the non-stick surface. Avoid cutting food in the Cookwell. Use of non- stick cooking spray is optional. Avoid storing items in the Cookwell that may scratch the surface. When roasting or baking at high temperatures you may notice an irregular band of discoloration around the sidewalls of the Cookwell. This characteristic is normal for the super tough non-stick finish and does not affect the performance or durability of the Cookwell. With continued use, the discoloration will become less noticeable.

4.Cooked-on foods may be removed from the cookwell by using a non- abrasive cleaning pad and a non-abrasive cleanser, such as Soft Scrub→ or Bon Ami→. Do not use abrasive cleansers or steel wool as these may scratch the finish. Hint: To easily remove baked on food residue, place Cookwell in Heatwell with soapy water and heat at a low temperature for 30 minutes. Turn off and allow cooling completely. Wash Cookwell as directed above.

5.NEVER IMMERSE THE ROASTER OVEN IN WATER. To clean, wipe the outside of the Roaster Oven with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleansers on the exterior surface.
