How To Use And Care For

Your 18-Qt. NESCO Roaster Oven

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1.Unpack your NESCO Roaster Oven completely. Remove the Cookwell and remove all packing materials and information labels. Place the Roaster Oven in a well-ventilated area on a heat resistant surface. Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet, set the control dial to its maximum setting 450°F. Operate the Roaster Oven empty (without the Cookwell and Cover) for about 60 minutes, or until any odor or smoke disappears. Some smoke and odor is a normal part of “curing” the heating element, and will not occur while cooking. When curing is completed, turn the temperature control to its lowest setting, unplug the unit, and allow it to cool.

2.Wash the Cover, Cookwell and Rack in warm, sudsy water. Rinse and dry. See “Care and Cleaning” section for complete cleaning instructions.
