Waring RO18B manual Before Using For The First Time, Operation, Directly In The Roaster Oven Body

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1.Unpack your Waring Pro® Roaster Oven completely. Remove the cover, wire roasting rack, removable roasting pan and roaster oven body from Styrofoam® inserts. Remove all packing and printed materials.

2.Place the roaster oven in a well-ventilated area or on a heat- resistant surface. Set the temperature control dial to the off setting. Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet and set the control dial to its maximum setting of 450ºF. Operate the roaster with oven empty (without roasting pan 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 after curing is done. When curing is completed, turn the temperature control to the off setting, unplug the unit and

allow to cool.

3.Wash the cover, roasting pan and rack in warm, sudsy water. Rinse and dry. See Care and Cleaning section (next page) for complete cleaning instructions.

OPERATION

1.Place the roasting pan in the roaster body. Always use the roaster pan for food. NEVER PLACE FOOD OR WATER

DIRECTLY IN THE ROASTER OVEN BODY.

2.Preheating is recommended. To preheat, place the roaster pan in the roaster body and cover. Do not preheat unit with wire rack inside oven. Be sure the temperature control is in the off position. Plug the roaster oven cord into a 120 volt AC outlet.

Set the temperature control to desired temperature. Preheat for 20 minutes. Insert wire rack when ready to cook. Carefully, using hot pads, add food to the roaster pan.

3.The rack may be used for baking or fat-free roasting. Other foods, such as meats, soups and stews, can be prepared without using the wire rack.

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

5.Cook the food for the desired amount of time. When finished, turn the temperature control to the off position and unplug the cord from the 120 volt AC outlet. During the cooking process, steam will accumulate inside the roaster oven body. Always stand to the side when removing the cover and always tilt the cover away to divert escaping steam. Note: Please use oven mitts when removing the cover after or during the cooking process in order

to avoid contact with any escaping steam. Allow the roaster oven to cool, and clean as recommended.
