Tips for Using

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash the insert pan and lid 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.

The insert pan should 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 for cakes, breads, or casseroles. A separate pan must be placed in the insert pan when cooking these foods.

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.

We do not recommend using 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.
