appliances, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the appliance,
cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the
appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after
the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter

14. Be sure to use on a heat resistant and even surface. Keep at least 4
inches away from walls and other flammables in a well-ventilated
area.
15. Prior to plugging appliance into the wall outlet ensure temperature

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
3. If a longer extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over unintentionally.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other) follow the instructions below:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

COOKING TIPS & RECIPES
ROASTING:
Roasting in your AROMA Roaster Oven will produce moist and tender
meats. As a rule of thumb, you may use the same temperature and
cooking time as a conventional oven.
1. To sear the meat before roasting, place butter or margarine on the
cooking pan. Cover with the lid and sear meat on each side for 5-10
minutes or until lightly browned.
2. For the best browning result on poultry, brush melted margarine or
honey evenly over the skin before roasting. Follow roasting chart
directions to cook. At the last 30-45 minutes, increase temperature
for 20-50°F for additional browning if needed.
3. If you would like to add liquid, for example beer, to enhance flavor,
add at the last 30 minutes.
4. Since the thickness and condition of the meat may vary, you should
check the meat 10 to 15 minutes before the finishing time to ensure
best results.
5. Keep juice collected in the cooking pan to all to the meat while
serving. It is delicious and nutritious.
6. Cooking meat to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer to
measure meat temperature at the final cooking time. Suggested
temperatures are 140°F for rare, 160°F for medium and 170-180°F
for well done. Please remember that pork should always be cooked
to well done.
7. While roasting poultry or meat with fat content, add 2 cups of water
to the bottom of the cooking pan to prevent burning smoke from the
dripping oil.
8. It is recommended to roast dry for tender cuts of meat. Examples of
these meats are ribs or sirloin.
9. The roasting times in the chart are approximated and should be used
only as a guideline. Several factors may affect the actual cooking
times like meat temperature, thickness, bone content, ingredients of
stuffing, etc.
